Hello,
My ADR date is next Monday. This is our second trip to Disney (me, DH, and DD7), but for some reason, I am really struggling with when/how to fit in all of our table service meals this time! We have the dining plan, in hopes that free dining will be offered. If it’s not for some reason, then I might just drop it and pay OOP. There are some table service meals that we will do regardless of whether we have the plan or not, but others that I’m just putting in to use up our TS credits. Anyway, below is my tentative plan, I would welcome your feedback or critique!
Saturday 9/17 - flight arrives at 9:15am - planning on spending the day at Hollywood Studios. Lunch would be a CS meal, dinner would be Minnie’s Halloween Dinner at Hollywood & Vine, hopefully the Fantasmic VIP package. Was thinking for around 6pm?
Sunday 9/18 - Animal Kingdom day - our original thought was to go early and then do a dinner at a resort, but with the ROL show, I’m thinking we’ll be at AK into the evening to see that now. So my thought was counter service lunch and dinner at Yak & Yeti, maybe around 6pm?
Monday 9/19 - Epcot - thinking we will do two TS meals this day - a late breakfast at Akershus (around 10:30?) and then dinner around 6:30 (going back and forth between Coral Reef, Tutto Italia, and Via Napoli).
Tuesday 9/20 - We are planning on doing MNSSHP this day (hoping this will be a party day) and if so, just having a pool day until it’s time to head to MK and just doing counter service for all meals this day.
Wednesday 9/21 - MK day, counter service lunch, dinner at 1900 Park Fare (6pm?)
Thursday 9/22 - Epcot - am thinking it probably won’t be a full day there, but we love Soarin, Test Track, and I’m sure our daughter will love the Frozen ride, so we wanted at least part of a second day there. So planning on a counter service meal for lunch and then dinner at Ohana that night (maybe around 7?).
Friday 9/23 - Our last day, but we don’t fly out until after 7pm. Planning to go to MK in the morning, pre RD BOG (maybe around 8?).
Thoughts? I feel like we don’t have a lot of free time built in there, but I guess it’s similar to what we did the last time we went, and DD was 4.5 then and had no problems keeping up, so I think it will be even easier this time. I find from looking at this that we aren’t making use of the PH option, but I suppose that gives us the freedom to hop to another park if we feel like it that day.
Thanks!
Kim
