Whoo! I think I'm done! Any tips/advice for these restaurants?

[centurythree]

Now that the January hours are out, I think that I've finalized my ADRs for January 4-16. I'm pretty happy with these choices. Any tips, suggestions or advice for these restaurants?

Thanks in advance!

Thanks again! One of the breakfast options will be replaced with Kona Cafe at some point. We're doing DDXP, so some of the CS's may be replaced with TS once my guests decide which parks they'd like to revisit on the last days of our trip. If someone thinks I've missed a "must do" TS, please say so too and I should have no trouble working it in!

They all look great! Love the Le Cellier twice!! I wish I had time to do that..cant decide between the Ravioli or the Filet w/mushrooms!!

I would slip in the Konas when yuo get a chance....like the CS idea for lunches....no need to keep looking at your watch!!

If you need to get rid of credits, I would try to add a Yachtsman Steakhouse (2 credits) somewhere, but honestly looking at your places, not sure which one I would want to give up!! Maybe trade the Garden Grill for a lunch one day and add Yachtsman for a dinner????!!!

I would move Narcoossee's to a Disney day. If something happens to delay your return to WDW or you decide to stay at Universal you'd miss that one. If it requires a CC hold, it wouldn't be free to miss. It is a not to miss dinner so I'd definitely move the ADR to another day.

Keep in mind if Universal allows you can always pick up some snacks or premade sandwiches for the park using your DP credits.

Also keep in mind that you have the option of room service at the Poly and it might work for breakfast a time or two. Use 2 Adult and 2 Child credits and it'll probably take care of everyone, tips are included too.

Everything looks good. It's that there are so many places to try I would do any repeats not even for breakfast. That's my opinion. But if that works for that's great & have a magical trip.

My guess is they are staying at the Coronado and just grabbing breakfast at the hotel before leaving for the day!

Smart move!

I am eating at all the character places with my daughter, but am leaving my mother and older teens who dont care about the characters at the hotel to sleep a little longer..then eat breakfast at the hotel restaurant (Lucky for them its Kona's!)

I'm on the deluxe DP too, but I would consider doing more 2 TS places because even if you eat breakfast at 7AM and finish at 8AM, then tour from 815-1045, have lunch at 11, finish at 12PM, then tour from 1215-630PM but you also have to take travel times into account....you will have toured maybe ~8 hours and eaten for at least ~3 of them....the fastest you can get out is probably an hour. Honestly, I am a foodie as well so more power to ya, but I dunno if I could do it!

Yeah that's what I figured they were staying there. Well the only reason why I say to go to different places cause that's what I use to do always go to the same places. But now I am thinking about things differently and try to see and do all the the resturants now and I am doing the same with the hotels to. Yes it is easy and convient to go to the same place everyday but I just tried it back in April to go to a different hotel & all new resturants and I had the best time ever. Well you have to do what works for you. Bottom line is to have fun

Thanks everyone. I think that I will try to add in a couple of new restaurants for breakfast, as well as look more closely at adding in another two credit TS. Of the remaining 2TS (right now I have the Brown Derby, CRT, Narcoosee's, Jiko and California Grill), which would you all recommend?

We haven't tried it yet, but Citricos seems to be less popular, but gets good reviews. Like Narcoossee's its at GF.

The only restaurant that I see missing on thre is Kona.

We've done both Kona and LeCellier on every trip so far, and Kona beats LeCellier out by a mile every time. In fact, this trip Kona is the only repeat on our list...my DH didn't want to do LeCellier at all this time.

Otherwise, it looks great to me!! Have fun!
