Help....Quick SM suggestions and questions for our DDP (first timer)

[Michelle Angela]

It's our first visit in WDW and we will be celebrating my daughter's 7th bday there. We only have 3 base tickets no park hopper. we will be there for 4 days and 3 nights and we will only go to MK(2 days) and Epcot (1 day). We have a DDP. I got a reservation in Akershus for lunch on our first day. I am looking and hoping to get a reservation in BOG(lunch or brkfst) and Chef's Mickey.

1. My daughter doesn't eat a lot and I am thinking of sharing my meal with her. Is it possible in the character dining? How about in QSM?

2. Can we order in advance in ADR's that we have?

3. What are the Quick service Meal locations that is good? Any suggestions especially in MK and Epcot since that's the park we plan and we will only rely on buses to/from resort to park.

4. How long does it take to go to Chef's Mickey to MK and vice-versa? Do we have to take the bus or the monorail? So sorry, we're a first timer.

5. I am planning to get an early ADR brkfst in crystal palace (if there is an available slot) so that we can get in MK before it opens. First to get a nice pic and second to get to elsa and anna early because We are not lucky to get a fastpass+. But, my daughter is not a fan of winnie, tigger etc. any other restaurant suggestions?

Thanks in advance!

I can answer a few of those questions you can walk from chef Mickey to magic kingdom it is a nice walk or you can take the monorail and as for crystal palace even though you daughter doesn't love them it is a fun character experience and it get you into park early but if your daughter doesn't eat much maybe you just want to grab a quick bite because it is a buffet also a good quick service restaurant in Epcot is seasons it has a big variety

1. If you go to a buffet like Akershus, you will have to pay for all 3 of you regardless of what she eats. They will take 3 DDP TS credits or money for all 3 of you. You can share meals for QS, but then you will have credits left over.

2. You have 1 ADR for Akershus, right? It's like a buffet, so no ordering in advance.

3. It's hard to say without knowing what you like. Start reading menus. Here is a list of places that accepts DDP http://allears.net/din/ddpbasic.htm

4. You can walk in about 15 min or take the monorail in 15.

5. You can do a breakfast at BoG to get in early. I just did that and we were right in Fanstasyland when the park opened.

If you are having trouble getting the ADRs you want, join touringplans.com. Their dining tool got me a Chef Mickey's breakfast in 2 days when I was looking on the WDW site myself for 2 months with no luck.

With a quick service meal, it is like going to mcdonald's. You just order at a cash register. They don't much care who eats the meals.

Getting to Chef Mickeys via monorail is quick, but getting back takes a bit longer since it (the Contemporary) is the first of the stops on the monorail loop.

I am a fan of Liberty Tree Tavern, it is like Thanksgiving dinner. It is served family style, and is all you can eat.
