Which Chef Mickey's PS would you keep?

Yeah, I know I asked a similar question recently, and I know this really can't be defined as a "problem", but I now have two ressies for dinner at CM. One is for our second night at WDW-9/11, and the other is 9/18, the Sat before we leave. If AP rates are decent in Sept for our stay at the AS, we will probably keep both. But, we may have to choose just one. 9/11 is Night of Joy, so MK closes at 6:00. We'd head over to CM after MK closes (6:40 PS), and we'd probably not have time for Fantasmic or Illuminations after dinner (Fantasmic at 8:30, Illum at 9) unless we commando-ed, and probably not get a good seat. If we did 9/18 (5:20 PS) we would leave MK for CM dinner, then run back to MK for Spectro (8pm) and Wishes (9pm). BTW, we have CRT PS 9/12 for MK, and CP lunch 9/16. We are staying till 9/20. Please help....again. TIA!

I would maximize my time and go for 9/18. It would be a nice break and you would have plenty of time for dinner and could even stroll back to MK for Spectro/Wishes.


If you do CM's on 9/11 your evening would end with dinner as you wouldnt have time to make it to the other parks.

Is your PS for CRT a breakfast? I would not want to do a buffett dinner the night before a Char. Breakfast although CRT is plated sometimes you don't even want to look at food that early, so that may be another consideration.

I like CM's to be near the end of our trip preferably the last bkft or dinner night before; however I think either of yours would be fine. If MK closes at 6pm, you could get to CM's within about 10min (first stop on outgoing monorail) and get seated early. Even leisurely, we've never spent more than 90 minutes at CM. You would definitely have time to monorail to Epcot for Illuminations at 9pm. I wouldn't keep both but try a different char meal, perhaps Liberty Tree Tavern on your final MK night then it's less running in and out of park.
