What tours/meals/extras are must do's?

[Nora94]

and how far in advance do you need to book them? We will have 5 days at the park, plus another half day the day we arrive. I'm already thinking of doing the Princess and Goofy dinners, Discover the Magic tour and possibly the special dessert thing for the fireworks. I think Jedi Training would be fun, even though I have two girls (5 1/2 yrs and will just have turned 9 yrs old). Thinking of Storyteller's Breakfast and the Princess Faire (do you register for that or just show up?)

We want to do the Pirate Dinner Adventure meal (I know that isn't officially Disney and is not in the park).

Anything else that I need to book? I know we will do every ride and show, but want to make sure the things I have to arrange ahead of time are taken care of.

we love the Princess Breakfast at Ariels! Much better than the lunch or dinner IMO. We also really enjoyed the Minnie and Friends breakfast in the park. My boys love the Jedi Training Academy, and one of my sons was picked to go up on stage!! Have fun planning

Oh yeah, other extras that we always do are Build A Bear in Downtown Disney and the Lego Store in Downtown Disney. My kids love those places!

You just show up for the Princess Fantasy Faire. There is a story telling with one of the princesses, then a coronation and the girls can color and decorate crowns while they are there. You can also stand in line to meet 3 princesses, but you will not know what princesses you will meet until it is your turn. If your daughters want to meet a particular princess than do Ariel's Grotto for either breakfast, lunch or dinner. You need to make PS purchase 60 days in advance for Ariel's. I can't think of the phone # right off hand at the moment for the PS, sorry. Have fun planning!

Would your girls enjoy getting "Princessized" at Libby Lu? That's in DTD. It's not quite the same as Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique. Perhaps someone who's done it can tell you what it's like.

That might even be a fun activity for your first night in town, since you won't be going to the parks.

Dinner at Ralph Brennan's Jazz Kitchen, always a must on our first night!

Fantasmic seating is another one and of course fill up on Tigger Tails!!!!

only time we do a breakfast is if we can get in and out before park opening otherwise its lunch or dinner. with girls the princess is cool cause you get all their autographs in one sitting which is a time saver. depending on where you are staying onsite or not could make or break the goofys kitchen.

The dessert/riverside seating is for Fantasmic. I assume this is what you meant but I just thought I would clarify it.
