You have some good choices.

Two things though -

1. Be prepared to be flexible where you are eating your counter service. It always seems that I am on the opposite side of the park to the cs restaurant I planned eating at.

2. Day 5 seems like a lot of food. The Crystal Palace breakfast buffet is IMHO, one of the best. And Wolfgang puck's express has pretty large servings. Add in a dinner at Capt Jack's (I am assuming for twin lobster tails?) and you may find yourself on food overload that day. My suggestion would be to switch Wolfgang pucks express and earl of sandwich (WPE on day 6 and earl's on day 5) just because earl's sandwiches don't come with a side and they have limited (but travel worthy) desserts so it might not seem as much food as WPE (where you get sandwiches with a mountain of fries).

Otherwise, looks great! Hope your big group have a great time and get's lots of pixie dust.

Hi danx2plus3more

OK, you are leaving in 2 days...I assume you have the dining plan, since you posted this in the Dining Plan thread...and you must have hopper passes since you are going to more than one park in a day. Sounds like you have reservations for the TS places, since you have specific times like 9:10 and 9:25

I noticed you only have one Epcot restaurant mentioned, Electric Umbrella. If you are only spending one day there, you might want to at least check out some of the other CS options. Even if your family members are not very adventurous eaters, Sunshine Seasons gets excellent reviews, and it's only one CS credit, just like Electric Umbrella.

Day 5, I agree with Princess Trisha, sounds like a lot of food. It depends on how full everyone is from CP, and how early your dinner is at Cap'n Jack's. If dinner is early, you might end up skipping lunch (with 9:25 breakfast at CP, you probably won't get out of there before...10:30?) and just use some snack credits for the afternoon.

Day 7 lunch depends on where you spend your day. I'd look through the CS restaurants at each park so wherever you end up, you'll have an idea of where to go for lunch.

Have a great trip!

They look like good choices, except pizza planet. I have young boys so I was excited for this but it was really dissapointing, it is nothing like the rest. from the movie Toy Story. The planet theme was lost somehow & the pizza was not as good as frozen that I make at home. The arcade wasn't anything I would lose park time over. If you haven't already told DS about this I wouldn't do it. I have heard some good reviews about the new Flatbread CS in MGM. Your choices look fun though. You have included my 2 fav. CS Tusker & Earl. Planning on Pucks xpress this trip. My boys loved Chef Mickeys & CP! Have a great time!!

I noticed you're having dinner at 9:10 one night and you have a 3-year-old. You may want to make that for an earlier time. I have a 4.5 and 6 year old and all our dinner reservations are between 5:00 and 6:00.

Good point, I totally missed that...maybe 9:10 was the best time she could get? Unless there is a cancellation, I doubt she could change it now, 2 days before they leave. Maybe a couple of late afternoon snack credits will tide the kids over until then?

I'm just speaking from experience that there is now way that my kids would behave properly in a restaurant past 8:00pm. Especially in WDW where they'll be so tired after a whole day at the parks.

I agree about being flexible about CS. I didn't even really plan those out. I knew which ones I definitely wanted to eat at (Tusker House, Pecos Bill, Cantina de San Angel), but we really just winged it the rest of the time. That's how I discovered Columbia Harbor House. Love it there! And we wound up at Toy Story Pizza Planet because we were on that end of the park. We liked it well enough. Not the best pizza, but certainly not the worst. And it is a nice respite from burgers and chicken fingers.

9:10 is the only res i could get...im going the week before easter...dis is crouded...we are used to eating late too...my kids are flex. on day 7 we are eating dtd again...my daughter is getting a castle makeover at bbb at 9:15...so around 11 or so i thought we would grab lunch before heading to mk.and yes im on the dinning plan
