Winging it vs. planning

[NedsTJ]

I'll be heading to the world the last weekend in April. Staying at the Boardwalk.
I am not planning on making any restraunt reservations, and am just planning on winging the eating part. I figure when I'm there I'll see what can be done and where my mood takes me as there isn't any place that I definitely want to eat at, except maybe Tony's for breakfast if I can.
Given that I'll be a party of One and that it's late April (after the spring break rush but before the summer) I think my chances are pretty good at getting into where I want, if I don't mind waiting a bit. Any thoughts on this, or should I not expect to eat at any Table Service places at all without advancded reservations?
Thanks for the advice, I've already found this board to be a wealth of information!

well there were some people without ADR - but when I went in to eat - some of these people were still waiting.

so I would get ADR - make it the day or the day before just call 55 on your phone in your room. It could save you an hour wait. You will wait but more like 10 minutes vs an hour or more.

just think of all the stuff you could see in that hour.....
