Which BOG meal should we keep?

[SonyaShay]

My group of 6-- me, DH, DD (7), Sister and her DH and their DD (8)-- managed to get BOG reservations for each meal on June 12th!!! We were actually able to book 2 different lunch times. Now we just have to decide which meal(s) we want to keep there.

Here is how our day looks so far:
BBB before park opening
9am FP- Jungle cruise
9:50 ressie at BOG
10:35am FP- Peter Pan
11:15 ressie at BOG (1st option for lunch)
11:50am FP- 7DMT
2:20 ressie at BOG (2nd option for lunch)
8:45 ressie for BOG

Keep in mind this is the first visit to WDW for me, DH, DD and my BIL. Sister and her DD have been to MK but it was 5 years ago. I am worried our dinner ressie will make us miss fireworks.

I would keep the 11:15 lunch. You could ride Peter Pan first, then go for lunch, then ride 7DMT. Both rides are close to BOG. After 7DMT you could get a 4th FP+ as it is still early enough in the day to get a decent option. Then you could watch the parade. The 2:20 BOG might cause you to miss the parade (assuming you want to see it of course). Lunch is also the cheapest option of the three and like you pointed out the late night dinner might cause you to miss fireworks. Also I wouldn't waste prime time touring time eating breakfast at 9:50 when wait times are lowest. By 11:15 you will be ready for a break and crowds will be starting to pick up at this point.

Also I would reconsider the Jungle Cruise 9am FP+. The ride should be a walk on at this time. I would schedule it for Splash or Big Thunder just before Peter Pan or for any ride after your 7DMT ride.

my sister is the one in charge of the FP selections so I will mention that to her. I know she was trying to get all 3 selections pretty early in the day so we could hopefully get more selections from the kiosks. Thanks for your input!

I would keep dinner so I could see the Beast!
