Yeah, I think I over did it! My dining choices

[Melissa_E]

This is my third trip to Disney, DH and DD(4)'s first trip. I wanted to make sure we hit a lot of good restaurants and ate at reasonable times (to make sure that DD was happy). Right now we are using 14 of our TS out of 21. So here are our choices:

Feb. 5th- fly in at 11:30; so a very early dinner
D: 3:30 Crystal Palace

Feb. 6th- My Birthday!!!
B: Tusker House 9:05
D: Narcoossees 5:30

Feb. 7th
L: Plaza 11a.m.
D: 1900 Park Fare 4:50

Feb. 8th
B: Kona 8:40
D: Yachtsman 5:30

Feb. 9th
B: Hollywood and Vine 8:30
D: Ohanas 5:30

Feb. 10th
D: Le Cellier 4p.m.

Feb. 11th
B: Chef Mickey's 10:20 (this one was hard to get!)
D: Whispering Canyon Cafe

Feb. 12th
nothing yet, we fly out at 3:30

Is there anything missing?? I'm sure many would say Boma, but I'm not sure if everyone else is adventurous enough.

Are you doing anything for lunch that day? You might want to try Akershus Royal Banquet Hall in Norway at EPCOT. If your party isn't too adventurous they have a pretty simple basic breakfast menu. They have princesses there for all three meals. Dh and I went there in 2006 for lunch and really liked it.

Your planned meals look pretty good to me.

you could try cape may cafe at the beach club for a character breakfast. Also there is the garden grill in EPCOT that is another character meal.

Hi, I think these
"Feb. 7th
L: Plaza 11a.m.
D: 1900 Park Fare 4:50"
are too much food too close together. That is either a late breakfast or an early lunch followed pretty closely by a very early dinner.
Other than this day I think it looks great.
You do realize though that all of these TS meals cut deeply into park touring time right? You said it was DH and DD first trip, so be sure that you have plently of "Park Time" too.
Have a Great Trip.

You're missing my absolute favorite- Jiko's and my second favorite, California Grill.

Thank you for the suggestions, I'm looking over my ever increasing in size planner (a notebook isn't big enough) and I'm trying to think of ways to figure this out where DH and DD get enough park time and we still eat well.

 

[byoung]

Good choices, a lot of sitdown meals.

Yep I have to carry a binder My DH thinks I am nuts but I am a planner.

I'm a little confused. Are you and DH sharing a meal at every restaurant. (I'm not even sure that that is allowed on the Dining plan.) Because if each of you is getting a meal then by my count you are way over your number of meal credits. Could you enlighten me please?

 

[MickeyMickey]

Sounds like the OP is on the deluxe dining plan

Yeah thats what I am thinking too. 7days x 3 credits = 21

Yes, we decided to go deluxe because we wanted to hit some of the signature restaurants.

 

[MagicalTravelKC]

The Castle. Definitely the Castle.

I would take out dinner at OHanas and do something else- HoopDeeDoo was great. We did not like OHanas- both the food and entertainment were mediocre.

If you really want to do OHanas- maybe switch it to breakfast the day that you leave.

 

[Melissa_E]

Think I can still get an ADR for the castle? I've been toying with it, Katie isn't much into the princess thing. But she did say to me today, "mommy I want to go to that castle" when I was looking at a Disney map.

 

[Melissa_E]

I did get an ADR for Feb. 7th at 8:10p.m for CRT. I'm a little nervous about it because Katie usually goes to sleep around 7:30 and is not much of a nap taker. Hopefully she will that day!

 

[Pumbaa_]

I would add more signatures to your list otherwise you may have trouble using all your credits.

 

[MagicalTravelKC]

Hey Melissa,

I am glad you got CRT. With your ressie is a little later in the evening, schedule some downtime for Katie in the afternoon. She may not take a nap, but at least a few hours in the room may help in staying up that late.

Enjoy!

You picked some great places. Quite a few of those are our favorites.

Try calling back from time to time....you may be able to pick up an earlier seating. Also, there are no princesses at night...except for Cinderella in the lobby. The menu is better for dinner, but lunch has the princesses. Cindy's is a favorite for my family. We never miss eating at the castle.

I've decided to do the deluxe dining also...not much on counter service. Looks like you've picked some yummy places!
