Too much dining for one day ?

[iHEARTflorida]

Planning a trip for February. Just mother and grown daughter trip. Will be in WDW for my mums actual birthday.

Was thinking for that day, breakfast at Crystal Palace, half day at Magic Kingdom. Resort break. Dress up for Sip and Savor at the Contemporary.

Is this too much food for one day?

If we did this thinking at 9:30 ADR for breakfast and then sip isn’t usually til around 8pm.

This would only be our 2nd full day.

Undecided if I’m going to leave Sip and Savor as a surprise for my mum. So CP would seem like her bday treat.

Thoughts?

EDIT: Any ideas of other nice things I could do for my mum’s bday? Celebration at the Top isn’t looking too hopeful, haven’t seen any dates come out - does anyone know when they usually release them?

Sounds lovely! There is a lot of time between those meals so I don’t think you’ll still be full from breakfast.

I think it sounds like a wonderful way to celebrate your mum's birthday. And definitely enough time in between meals.

I think that’s a fine plan! Though I might let Mom know about the 8pm reservation just so she can plan accordingly. She might want to consider how to work other things around that, like other food that day, rest, freshen up beforehand, etc.

Agree with the others, sounds wonderful!!

That's a lot of time between.
Enough that I'd be wanting some kind of afternoon snack.
Or I'd make the Crystal Palace breakfast be more like brunch then maybe I could go without anything between.

Just eat light at the Magic Kingdom… it shouldn’t be too much then.

Glad to know it’s not a crazy idea. Of course we’ll eat something in the afternoon. I’ll let my mum know to pack something nice and let her know the day of - havent figured out the surprise part yet.

If you’re not aware, I wanted to mention that Sip and Savor is offered sporadically. Dates aren’t always released at the time you’re making other ADRs. I’ve been several times and it’s typically quite the effort to get a reservation.

I have been checking daily in hopes of seeing some Dec dates posted but either I missed them entirely or they are not open yet. It took us 3 trips to snag a date for our first time.

Last December there were no dates for Celebration at the Top when we were there. I’m under the impression that they rent out this event to private and corporate parties during the holidays now.

Makes perfect sense about private events and parties in Dec.

Here’s hoping OP can book a February date for her Mom’s birthday.

Wow - I am feeling LUCKY today! Yesterday a few Nov dates, and two Dec dates appeared for this event. The Dec ones coincide with our upcoming trip so I started frantically trying to book one of them. I could go so far, and then would get an error, telling me to choose another date. I took a chance and looked again today and was able to seamlessly go through the booking process and have my confirmation for Dec 6. Perfectly birthday gift for my DD!
