Two adrs in one day.. Thoughts?

[yaddakal]

so we have one Epcot day the week after thanksgiving.. We wanted to try restaurants we haven't before and couldn't decide. We def want to see candlelight professional.. Yesterday I left it at an 845am garden grill and a 510 chef de France. 815 pm candlelight professional linked to the garden grill package.
I just don't know.. Don't usually do two adrs , thoughts? Ty

We do 2 TS places in a day many times (usually lunch and dinner for us). I like it. The only thing with your plan is that you're at Epcot for well over 12 hours. Can you come and go? If so, your plans should be fine.

We do only one TS per day. More than that would not only be too much food for us, but would also mean too much time spent at a restaurant.

And we go at a time when the parks are open from early morning until late night. Not sure about the November park hours.

We don't usually do two TS in one day either but if I did, it would be breakfast and dinner. Lunch and dinner would be just too much food too close together. (We aren't big eaters.)
Your plan does make for a long day...

EPCOT usually opens early so your GG will be during the best park touring hours. Because of tiered FP there, you might have to cut out a must see attraction if not there for rope drop. Lots of good food options can be found around the World Showcase that are quick service & on my bucket list so I'm just sticking to my 1 CP ADR this year

We rarely do 2 TS meals in a week or two, so to me that would be way too much.

This would be too much time eating to me, but I like a lot of the CS places.

Still, I do think it's doable with the way you have it timed. You'll be full from breakfast, so won't likely want any lunch (maybe just a snack or drink).

At dinner you can always just order soup or something if you're not too hungry though.

If you enjoy the break and having time to sit down, then go for it!

I think it's fine. We usually have 2 meals a day - it doesn't matter to us if it's 2 TS, 2 QS or one of each. I hope you enjoy the new to you places.

We've done two ADR's in a day and as long as there is at least five or six hours in between them, it is fine.

Iv just done the same thing, i have a 8:20 at Garden Grill on December 2nd, linked to a 5pm show at Epcot.. I didn't plan for this to be my epcot night, so i was going to head to Hollywood studios since they have EMH and see the starters fireworks if they have them, and try and hit a ride or two. But I had no clue where to put dinner.. I went with a 3:15 at Via Napoli. I think where your second meal is at 5:10 you will be A-okay! You won't need a QS during the day just a snack!

While I don't any more we used to actually do 3 TS meals a day, now it's sometimes one. I don't see any problem with the way you are doing it since there is plenty of time between the two. As others have said it makes for along Epcot day so you may find yourself taking a break in the middle and going back to your resort for a quick nap but there is no problem with that either.

I think you have done it wisely. Especially since you are paying OOP at CdF. I really enjoyed my meals at both of those places in May. The breakfast at GG was great, and the dinner at Chefs also. You can split an entree at Chefs if you are not feeling that hungry.

Due to unforeseen circumstances I had to do TS meals at lunch (Sci Fi) and dinner (Chefs) in one day in May, and that was just way too much in that time span.

In terms of the amount of food, I think you'll be totally fine. As for the long day, I'd go to the breakfast, do three FP+ pretty much back to back after that, then, if possible, go back to resort to rest, swim, etc. Then return in time to make the dinner reservation and enjoy the World Showcase until time for CP.

I have 2 ADRs for every full day of our trip. We eat 2 meals per day at Disney, and I prefer them both to be table service meals, so we get good food, a chance to relax, and a guaranteed table.

 

[patster734]

Sounds like a good plan to me. Enjoy!

BTW, DW and I had lunch at Chefs De France this past April and really enjoyed it.

We do two ADRs often. I've done three ADRs once or twice and don't recommend that in case you have a big appetite, but two is perfectly normal. People have to eat.

 

[bigbabyblues]

We have done two ADRs in one day before, but we don't do it anymore. It was fine when our kids were little, but now it is too much scheduling. We did an 8-day trip last month with a total of 3 ADRs, and we wished we didn't have two of them just because we didn't want to stop what we were doing and go to them.

 

[Momof2Singers]

We used to ONLY do one, when our kids were young, because we enjoyed the break. Our first full day I have 3, but the first one is BOG, and we are getting kids meals. Depends on how long we are staying in one park. If you are there all day without a break, you have to eat/rest, because we find most dining restful. Our trip starting in 25 days, I have 15 ADR's, only 4 of those are hard to get ones, and only one repeat, BOG, one breakfast, one dinner, but we are there for 9-1/2 days.

 

[chloelovesdisney]

We usually have one day during the week with two adrs, one day with no adrs, and the rest with one. Somehow I just always end up making our plans that way. A breakfast and dinner will be fine and of all the parks, Epcot is my favorite for two.

 

[momtotaryn]

We did 2 ADRs on one day twice during our trip last month. For us, many QS places give you as much food as a TS place does, so if it's food you're concerned about, I don't think it would be an issue. However, as for time involved, yes, it does take up a lot of time away from the parks. For us, one of our 2 ADR days was our leisure day, so that was no problem.

 

[BlondeAppetit]

Yes. That is completely fine! You will have a great day!
