Which one should we cut?

[smcchick93]

We are planning a trip to WDW in November to celebrate DD's 4th birthday and DD is very in to all of the princesses (of course). We will only have 4 days to squeeze everything in and would like to do the following:

Day 1 (birthday): CRT Breakfast, QS Lunch, Chef Mickey's or Crystal Palace dinner?

Day 2: Akershus breakfast, QS lunch, Le Cellier's dinner

Day 3: Donald's Safari breakfast, QS lunch, 1900 Park Fare or Crystal Palace dinner??

Day 4: In room breakfast, Pizza Planet lunch

So, it looks like we will to have to cut either Chef Mickey's, Crystal Palace, or 1900 Park Fare. Which one should we cut based on everything else we are doing?

If we are doing CRT, do we need to do Akershus the next day?

Thanks for any advice you can provide!!

I would cut chef mickey's. Reason being you're already doing Donald's bfast so you'll get to see Mickey there, and Crystal Palace is different b/c it's pooh and friends and they're really fun. Also, if she likes princesses, i wouldn't skip 1900 park fare. Watch cinderella specifically w/ her b4 hand- the step sisters are a riot!

If it were me, eating with my dd (back when she was 5 or so)...I would..
1.CRT for breakfast, Chef Mickey's for dinner

2.Akershus for breakfast (different princesses than CRT), LeCellier for dinner

3.Donald's for breakfast, Crystal Palace for dinner

4 can you do 1900 Park Fare here, instead of breakfast in your room?

You may need to decide which is more important....princesses, Mickey and his buddies or Pooh and his buddies. If I HAD to give one up, it would be 1900 Park Fare simply because you will have had two meals with the princesses already.

PSB is a must so please dont cancel that one, you can never see to many princessess. I would remove Chef Mickey for dinner.

Out of the 3 you are choosing to possibly cut, my pick would be Chef Mickey. You are going to see the characters from Chef Mickey at Tusker House except for Minnie (even though I have seen a few posts where people did say they saw her there), but you will definately see Daisy Duck. You can easily find Minnie on one of the character trails right in AK. I'm actually doing Tusker House as a substitute for Chef Mickey because I've been twice for dinner and really was disappointed in everything BUT the characters.

Everything else looks great. My DD will be 4 when we go in Sept. and she adores the princesses too, so I think she will really enjoy all of those meals you have planned. Also, I'm glad to see you are doing CRT first. I made the mistake of doing it last after Arkeshus and 1900 Park Faire, and by that point, meeting the princesses was old hat, kinda took some of the magic out of the whole castle/princess thing.

Also, Crystal Palace is one of our absolute favorite restaurants, really the only restaurant in MK that I am willing to eat dinner at. I wouldn't cut this one, plus this is the only meal you have planned that will have Winnie the Pooh and Friends, so it's different character wise.

I hope you have lots of fun, and Happy Birthday to your daughter, I hope she has a magical birthday!!

In a short period of time that's a lot of TS meals which means a lot of down time. If you are not concerned about your park touring time then doing all the meals will be OK for you. If you are wanting to see a lot in the parks then maybe do only 1 TS per day.

Cut Chef Mickey's. We just got back and did a trip for our son's 5th birthday. We did Crystal Palace breakfast on the first day, Sci Fi in the middle (lunch), breakfast at Chef Mickeys, the Castle dinner for his birthday, and Akershus dinner the last day so similar to what you have planned and no, you can never get too much of the princesses.

Out of all the character meals, Chef Mickeys was our least favorite. Good character interaction but the food wasn't that good. So keep the rest and cancel Chef Mickeys.
