Going against the grain...

Well, we just cancelled all of our ADRs for our trip at the end of the month, mainly because we didn't really have our hearts set on the places I booked. Our plan is to keep trying to get the places we really want ('Ohanas breakfast is really our main one), otherwise just playing everything by ear. Obviously if we had DDP it'd be a different story, but at this point I'd rather just eat at decent quick service places and if we find an opening for the two of us somewhere while we're in the parks then all the better. Okay, enough rambling from me.

Eat when you have to, then move on.

Have fun.

I have a party of 6 so its hard to "wing it" but I've done it and had a ball. If you do decide for a good sit down, go at 11am when they open, and sometimes you can walk right in and get a table service. Best of luck.

Yeah I certainly can understand that when you're in a large group ADRs become more of a necessity, but for the two of us we'll be fine. Although I may book Portabellos for the first night there since its available.

I haven't ate there, let me know how it is as I'll be down there in August.

In the past I have had luck with walking up at non-traditional times. If you do not mind eating lunch at 2:00-3:00 or dinner from 9:00-10:00 you might get lucky.

You should be ok if you don't mind making a few trips to eat at DTD.

Yeah we'll be fine, no matter what I don't think we'll go hungry while we're there!
