What is the best time of day for a Character Meal?

[Dukland]

We will be in DL June 20th-27th. We will probably arrive kinda late on the 20th, and will leave early on the 27th. So, the days I am planning for are the 21st-26th.

We had planned on going to SeaWorld one of those days, but it looks like we might not get to. So, one of those days will be spent in LA. We want to go to the American Girl Store, and dh wants to take us to Pinks. We will not be there all day, I'm sure, and can be in the parks later in the day, if we wish.

So, the meals I am planning for are, breakfast with Lilo and Stitch, lunch at Ariel's, and dinner at Goofy's. So what time of day are best for each of these meals? I really need to call and get our PS in. Dh was thinking maybe....breakfast on Sunday the 22nd, lunch or dinner on Monday 23rd, and lunch or dinner on Thursday the 26th.

Thanks!

For our PSs, we always do like 7 or 7:30 am breakfast, so we can be in line for the park for a 9 am opening... 12:00 or 12:30 lunches, so we can be down for a nap by 1 or 1:30... and 5:30 dinner times, so that we have plenty of time after for things... character meals take about 80-90 minutes...

this is a good train of thought but if you do a magic morning at 7am it's nice to do a later breakfast like 10- 1030. and i'd never do 3 character meals in one day.

Oh gee, I'd never do 3 character meals in a day either! whew! I meant just in general for our PSs... The OP wanted to know time to eat... we go in the more "off season" times and don't do 7 am MM!! 8 am is the earliest opening for us this trip! And I am useless until I eat breakfast, so we always eat early...

We usually have breakfast around 10. None of us are real early morning eaters. We have a light breakfast at the hotel, then head to the park for a few hours. By then we are hungry enough to make it worth the time and money for a character meal. For lunch and dinner, I would plan it around a break time. Say your kids nap at 2, I would plan lunch for 12:30 and go from lunch back to my room for a rest. For dinner I would plan it for right after nap time, before you head back to the park.
