Using the DDP and making ADR...

[becca011906]

Like i said in my first post we are new to this whole onsite thing... and would like some suggestions. We are going the middle of March right before and durring our spring break so i know it's going to be crazy and i know we need ADR since it's a very busy time but we just aren't sure what the best way to plan it... i mean we aren't getting hoppers so we need to plan which parks which day now so we can get the ADR made. one nightis P&P party so it will probably need to be Counter service meal, so we could use our TS for that day at lunch somewhere eles but we have a BBB apt at 10 AM and would like the kids to nap/rest before the P&Pparty... we are going parks on thursday (short arrival day), friday P&P party, Saturday, Sunday, Monday. one park per day i think i'd like to avoid the parks with the Extra Magic hours b/c they tend to be so much more crowded thoes days, even though we could use them... I kinda feel overwhelmed b/c of DH booking this at what is feeling more and more like the last minute!!! And he hates having a plan, schedual, ect... but he's going to have to get over it if we are doing this DDP then we are going to get the most out of it!!! I know i want to do a few 2 or 3 Charecter meals, but i'm not sure which ones... i was thinking Epcot princess thing, Crystal Palace, and maybe Chef Mickey... but i'm not sure abou the other 1 or 2... Counter service i'm pretty good at b/c we usally make due with it the past trips, with just a few TS but having the TS per day will be so much nicer...

Have you looked at the menus at allears.net or do you have The Unofficial Guide to WDW, which has reviews? Reviews and menus/preferences might help you narrow down your choices.

I think that you have a good lineup for character meals - princesses, Mickey, Minnie, etc., and Pooh, etc. After that, I would lineup some regular TS meals.

Have a great trip!
