Where would you fit in a meal with Mickey?

[Mickey'snewestfan]

I'm trying to decide when to fit in a meal with Mickey on our August trip. Here's our itinerary and possible times:

Monday:

Arrive midday -- check in at the Swan
Typhoon Lagoon until closing

Tuesday

(Restaurantasaurus? If we do breakfast at 8:00 will we still make opening?)
A.K. at opening (9) to ride EE, Dinosaur, and Primeval Whirl and a few other things
Afternoon/Evening at Typhoon Lagoon

Wednesday

Ohana's at 8? Will we make it to opening?
MK at opening (9) until we're tired
Afternoon and evening at the pool
Chef Mickey's that evening? Either the earliest possible time (stay at MK until then) or a later time (come back after swimming)

Thursday

MK at opening (8 -- EMH)
Ohana's at the latest possible time? Will this cut into our precious a.m. too much?
Afternoon and evening at the pool
Return for dinner at the CG and Wishes

Friday

Ohana's in the morning?? (is it worth the extra trip)
midday to closing at Blizzard Beach

Saturday
Check out early in the morning

Which would you pick and why?

Hey--
No expert, but we like to do Chef Mickey's early in the trip. Don't know how young your kids are, but seeing Mickey gets it out of the way-- no lines at the parks. I would opt for hanging out by the pool on Day 1 and an early Chef Mickey's ressie for dinner, or a late one after your day at Typhoon Lagoon. Have fun!
PS--8 AM ressies for breakfast at the park will usually get you into the park on time, but the travel from O'Hana may set you back a bit.

We usually do Chef Mickeys the first night and then Wishes after. I don't know what time TL closes, but maybe go after that. Or you could go for breakfast instead of a second trip to Ohana.

The best thing we did on our last trip was book Ohana for breakfast. After doing Chef Mickey's the previous day, it was great to experience the relaxing atmosphere there. It was amazingly calm and quiet and the characters are very efficient at getting around the room. Plus, you don't have to get up and fight the crowd from the table to the buffet line.

Typhoon Lagoon usually closes around dinner time, I would go the first night after it closes. Or a very early breakfast before MK.

I'd probably do one of the nights at Chef Mickey's or the latest breakfast seating on the emh day.


1. Monday after TL closes @ Chef Mickeys. would really be good.

2. Tuesday. My experience is it takes a bit over an hour to finish and not be rushed. You might find yourself having to choose between waiting for that one last character that hasn't gotten to you yet and hitting EE at 9. So if you do the breakfastsaurus, keep that in mind. And my sense is that EE will be imensely popular (similar to Soarin when it first opened.)

3. See 2 above for Ohana. Though this would be better than the Breakfastsaurus because there's no everest that's going to draw a ton of crowds. CM's later would be fine considering you're just planning hotel activities. I'd do an early dinner hour.

4. Thursday. On an EMH day, the latest possible time is fine.

5. Friday. It's worth it here. I'd probably do it early so you won't be full at BB.
