180 Days to Go - ADRs inside

[Deleted]

My TA made them all for me so now I want to see if there's anything I didn't get so I can start looking for it and figure out which of these to keep as she double booked a bunch of meals.  (And those are her notes below).  Thoughts?


December 23
Whispering Canyon Café 5pm
1900 Park Fare 5:05pm

December 24
Hollywood and Vine (Disney Jr) 8:30am
Hollywood and Vine with Fantasmic (Disney Jr) 12:15pm
Hollywood and Vine (Minnie and Friends) 4:55pm
*Dinner was not available with the Fantasmic package. I know breakfast was your next choice… but then I saw lunch available with Fantasmic so let me know which works best!

December 25
Chef Mickey 9:20am
Chef Mickey’s 10:55am (breakfast)
*We discussed dinner or brunch, but they are only scheduled for breakfast at this point. They will likely do a special event for the other meals which I can let you know about once it is released but it is usually 2 credits on the dining plan or does not accept the dining plan when this happens. There are earlier breakfast times available (8:30am/9:30am) if those work better.
Boma Dinner 6:20pm

December 26
Garden Grill 9:00 10:10am (this is the earliest breakfast so I also booked lunch in case it works better) snagged this thanks to Touring Plans Reservation Finder
Royal Akershus Royal Banquet Hall 1:00pm
Biergarten dinner 5:50pm cancelled this
Hoop Dee Doo Revue- not available yet, ill keep checking back
Our larger group is doing HDDR that night but I'm not sure we want to do it.

December 27
Be Our Guest 8:45am (Quick Service)
Be Our Guest 12:20pm (Quick Service)
Be Our Guest dinner 7:15pm
Wishes dessert party- not available yet, ill keep checking back

December 28
Tusker House 8:45am
Spice Road Table 9:30pm (date night)

December 29
Crystal Palace 8:30am
Crystal Palace 12:15pm

December 28 is our date night so that's just us two for dinner.

I would do 1900 Park Fare over Whispering Canyon if you want a character meal or want to go back to MK that day.

[TamiTaylor]

Also what time does MK open the day you have the breakfast BOG reservation? If you keep the BOG breakfast definitely preorder your food.

Thanks, that's what I am leaning towards.  It's our arrival day so we aren't doing a park.  I just wanted to eat somewhere where we can walk around and look at decorations.  The food looks better at WCC though.

As of now it opens at 9 but I read they sometimes add more hours so I'm not 100% sure if that will change.

The food is good. I had the meatloaf. If you want to walk around and look at Christmas decorations definitely keep WC. I heard WL is beautiful at Christmas. Do that.

I would try to get an earlier breakfast reservation. When we had a our prepark reservation at BOG it was crucial to being able hit a ton of rides before they got ridiculous crazy.

I'd plan on MK opening to resort guests (extra magic hour) at 8am every day of your trip. They should update hours in November.

Ok I cancelled the later GG and got lunch at Akerhaus that day. Added dinner at Ohana our last night and dinner at Boma on Christmas. I may make a few other tweaks after I nap.

[TamiTaylor]

Where are y'all staying?

Caribbean Beach!

So now I have 10+ table service places, not even including Hoop Dee Doo so I have some decisions to make but everyone in our larger group is going to Hoop Dee so we may want to join them. Will my kids sit through that do you think?

[Deleted]

Also, does Ben needs to order food at every meal or can he just scrounge off my plate?

[Deleted]

Since we aren't doing a park on Christmas Day I was hoping to do brunch at Chef Mickey's because I thought that would feel special for the kids but maybe we can just laze around the resort and then go to dinner at Boma that night? What should I do?

[curbsideprophet]

This may be unpopular with some but given the week you are going I would hold on to most things for now. Especially those later in the week. I potentially would not decide on those until I was there. I think it is easier to hold on to them and then drop a day or two before then to try an add something while you are there.

I would try to narrow it down to one per time slot. However if you want flexibility you can wait and see what fast passes you end up with and then drop.

Yeah I agree with that.  There's a group of 20 of us going and it looks like if I don't want a particular reservation my friends can check in under my name.

With that in mind I just scored a BOG dinner.

How did she score so many Be Our Guest reservations? I was never able to get any for the time were going

Today is the 180 day mark so I think she woke up at 6 and got the first two but I just snagged the dinner one myself this evening - so 12ish hours after 6 pm.  I'm psyched to go since my brother and his wife just had dinner there last week and took pictures with the Beast.

When are you going? I would keep trying. I did not get our BOG dinner until a month or two before for our trip last Oct.

Changed my Garden Grill reservation to 9!
