Unsure about ADR's

[DramaGeek]

Our (Myself and my boyfriends) first trip to the world is about 18.5 weeks away! But I'm constantly questioning our ADR's. Having not being to WDW before it would be great to get the opinion of people who have!

Arrival Day/Epcot
Dinner: 'Ohana

MK Day
Lunch: Plaza

HS/AK Day
Lunch: Sci Fi
Dinner: Il Mulino

MK Day 2
Breaky: Crystal Palace
Dinner: California Grill

Resort Day/Epcot
Breaky:Kona
Lunch: Le Cellier
Dinner Grand Floridian Cafe

Is there anything in there that you would get rid of/change for a better option? We are not on the dining plan so that's not a concern. We are both in our mid-20's so characters aren't a big deal and staying up late to eat isn't a huge deal either.

This will probably by our only trip to the 'world' and we are coming from Aus so I just want to make sure it's perfect

Any advice/opinons would be greatly appreciated

I don't think I would do three TS meals on your last day. It's a lot of time sitting down. I would keep the Le Cellier lunch and do either breakfast (not too close to the lunch time) or the dinner.

If you are going to Epcot on your arrival day, I think I would rethink Ohana on that day as well. It takes a while to travel to the Poly from Epcot, and that is time away from the parks. Of course, it might have been the only day you could get Ohana, so I can see doing it. You may consider making that a MK day, and the next day an Epcot day.

I would also rethink the table service on the last day. You don't have much time in the parks, and despite how much everyone on the Dis talks about the dining "experiences" at DW, for the most part they are pretty common place. There are some places that do have an atmosphere you won't get anywhere else, but I don't think that is the case at any of the places you have listed for the last day. Le Cellier is the only one I would probably keep, just because I assume you really want to eat there. It's a steakhouse, though, and they are pretty dime a dozen (IMO).

What resort are you staying at?

thanks for the advice so far

We are staying at the Dolphin. 'Ohana on the first day is not til 8.45pm and we are going to just go for a wander around the WS from around 1pm so I'm not too fussed about the time it will take to get there

The last day was the one i was questioning the most tbh. I have a knee condition where i need to sit and take breaks a lot though, so i was kind of using those as breaks, cause hey we have to eat right?

I totally understand your reasoning. How would it work for you to just do CS for dinner, though? You would still get to sit down (most likely in the A/C) and you would get more park time that way. It would also allow for a more flexible schedule and it's easier to get a light CS meal than TS, I think

Do you have any suggestions of a good CS either in Epcot or close by?

There's tons of good CS at Epcot .

Cantina de San Angel (Mexico), Tangerine Cafe (Morocco), the pastry shop in Norway, Sunshine Seasons (The Land)... etc. Pretty much any place but Electric Umbrella (not bad, just nothing out of the ordinary) and the American Experience (again, not bad, just your typical burgers and stuff) you can't go wrong in. You could even choose 2 countries and split a meal at each for a wider variety.

I agree that 3 TS is a bit much for one day. I wouldn't give up on Ohana if you are arriving early in the day. You can take the monorail from EPCOT.
Enjoy!
