What do you think of my ADRs?

[MelaBella]

My 180 day mark is tomorrow!! I keep going back and forth on several of my ADRs, so I'd love the opinions of the Dis Experts!

It will be me, DH, and 2 9-yr. old girls. We are driving down and checking in Wed night, 9/10, at the Pop under a room only reservation. The next morning we will begin a 10 day MYW package. I am praying for free dining and we are going to upgrade to DxDP (I've read that is possible). I know it will be a lot of food, but my reasons are as follows:

1) One of the girls is a sophisticated eater and the other is a big eater! I figured the appetizers included with the DxDP would supplement the so-so kids meals.
2) We want to do at least 3, maybe 4, 2TS meals
3) We will be there 10 days so the extra time for sit -down meals won't prevent us from doing the fun stuff.
4) We will use the snack credits for water. We all drink lots of water, so that will be easier than taking it to the park with us.


Okay, so here they are. Let me know if there are any fatal flaws in my plan!

Day 1 - Sea World til 6pm
Breakfast: n/a
Lunch: @ Sea World
Dinner: Whispering Canyon @ 7:30 (Is that enough time to get from SW to WL or too much?)

Breakfast: Cape May Cafe @ 8am
Lunch: 50's Prime Time @ 1:30 or 2 (then leaving the park)

Day 11 - Departure Day (Choice of Park)

That's it! 11 days of food, food, and more food. Seriously, tell me what you think.

Whew. That's a LOT of dining! Usually when I do a character breakfast (or other WDW full service breakfast) I'm good to go until about 7:00 pm.

Having a breakfast, lunch and dinner all in the same day, given the portion sizes of WDW meals, is a pretty good challenge.

your adr's sound fablous! I have eaten at most of the places you will be visiting. I will also be in disney for part of your trip! I hope you have a wonderful time and enjoy all of your ADR's

Yum-O! I'm hungry just thinking about you dining plans!

As far as the boardwalk goes, my hub and I went last Sept. 2-7 and there was plenty going on in the evenings. Little street shows, games...and more that I'm sure I'm not remembering right now!

Have a BLAST! And if you think you're doing to much in a day, just call to cancel an adr once you're there. Yay disney!

I get to wake up early on Sun & call my ADRs in. We are also doing 10 nights on DXDP. Instead of CS, though, we are doing all TS, including (5) 2-credit meals. My first schedule got tweaked because it looked like my choices were all over the World (literaly)! I rearranged so that at least two meals of the day were in the same park. I'm thinking the ADRs will save us the time and energy of all the guesswork, because there's a lot of "I don't know, what do you want to do? Let's just sit in a random place and discuss" in my family. I have two days with no lunch planned, so we have time to visit the outlet and DTD. Last year, I did not set time aside, and we didn't get to enjoy much time there.

This sounds great. We're doing the deluxe too, and we'll be there the same time you will be as well. I made my ADRs monday morning at 6:00 a.m.!
We are also going for a longer time, so the ADRs won't slow us down much I'm thinking. We'll have enough time to do other things other than shuffle from ADR to ADR!

Enjoy your trip & good luck with your ressies!

How bout Kona Cafe for your late lunch? Just a thought. . .
