For those going in Sept w/ Free Dining! Where are you eating?

[EnchantedRose]

Hey Everyone!:wave:

So as of today I am 17 days away from making ADR's for our Sept/23-Oct/2 trip! :sohappy: (March 27) I have been planning and researching where we would eat for weeks now!

This will be our fourth trip as a family & my mother's first trip & the first trip where my son will be on the dining plan (he was under 3) our previous 3 trips. Once the Sept hours were released I started coming up with a rough itinerary of what we will do and where we will eat, but I'm wondering where everyone else will be eating.

My choices have changed a bit & i've gone back and forth between a few places but i've narrowed it down to a few & if these are unavailable then I do have a few back ups.

For now we would like to eat at:
Cyrstal Palace, Captains Grill, 1900 Park Fare, Askerhaus, Le Cellier (lunch), Coral Reef, Teppen Edo, Mama Melrose (Fantasmic pckg), Chef De France, Chef Mickey's.

So what are your choices? & when do you make your ADRs?

Just finished making our reservations this morning. This is our line up, it's short because we shaved two days off since we're here now.


9/8 - Tusker House 8am
9/9 - San Angel Inn 6pm
9/11 - Crystal Palace 8:05am
9/12 - Sci Fi Drive In 2:15pm
9/13 - Tony's 5pm
9/15 - CTR 5:50pm

The 10th and 14th are non Disney days. We originally had two more days but we trying to save money so we cut two short, due to our trip here right now. If I could just have March weather with September crowds, I'd be in Heaven.

My hubby says i'm a nut sometimes because i'm more organized for our Disney trip than I am with other things.

And yet another thing we have in common, LOL. I always say I'm only organized at two times in my life - at Christmas and going to Disney!

We are going for 8 days, our longest trip yet. My goal is to get to a fabulous 10 day trip eventually. :sohappy:

I just realized I may have more tweaking if we end up going to MNNSHP. I'm going to check our schedule when I get off the computer.

It didn't occur to me that it would be difficult to get a Mama Melrose's ADR but since you mentioned it, it makes total sense with people wanting the Fantasmic package. I guess we'll see how it goes. :lookaroun

If a pin code was sent to you then give Disney a call and ask them of you have a code attached to your name an they may be able to help you. If you aske the questions they will give you answers...but they will not offer up any information. Also I have found if the first person you speak with does not find it call back till you get just the right person. Some more willing to help than others. I must get warm fuzzys from the person i am dealing with or i will call back!!!!

Thank you! That's a great idea.

LOL! OMG same here!!!:ROFLOL:He mocks me all the time! But he loves it just as much & does appreciate all my planning.

This coming trip will be our longest as well. The first trip we had 6.5 days in the park...our 2nd trip we had 7 full days and our last trip as well we had 7...this trip since we are arriving late friday we will have 8 full days in the parks. :sohappy: My mom has NO idea what awaits her coming to Disney we me:drevil:.

Funny after reading all these posts....i'm tweaking my original itinerary and switching some things around to eat at other places. Once i'm done I'll post both of my plans.

We are doing MNSSHP! We absolutely loved it last year when we did it. The crowds were great...the atmosphere was amazing. We loved that we got to walk on everything & did so many rides in one hour. If you haven't gone before I suggest you somehow fit it into your trip...you will not be disappointed. Best part was meeting the Villians...we got to meet the Evil Queen & Cruella & somehow my son managed to make them stray from character....it was too funny!

I am really hoping for a Mama Melrose ressie...if not...then we'll just have to play it by ear.

we will be there the 21st - 26th. As of now we are planning on (because we can't make our reservations for 10 more days)
breakfast @ Royal Table, Crystal Palace & Chef Mickey's
Dinner @ 1900 park fare, askerhus & garden grill

 

[tink65]

We will be at our 180 day mark on March 26th (unless I tweak dates for the Wine & Dine 1/2 marathon) We don't have it down pat yet but are looking at:

Sci-Fi
50's Prime Time
1900 Park Fare (dinner)
Teppan Edo
Coral Reef
Le Cellier (lunch)
Captain's Grille
Cali Grill (maybe)

I don't know what else. We're staying 9 nights so if we decide against Cali Grill we'll need to decide on 2 more! Can't wait to be either on the phone or on the computer!
