I'm in the same boat. My November trip is so mish mashed together based on my predictions of when things will possibly be. Currently have a 930 ADR at the grand floridian in case DHS has fire works.. BAH

Because we don't want really late dinner reservations, and would prefer dinner plans that don't interfere with park closing shows (which I want to see) but if they haven't posted the correct park hours yet I have no way to plan it out accordingly. And all the restaurants I have booked are almost completely booked now, so having to move those around will be difficult. Closer to my dates I will be relying on cancellations. I'm not normally that picky and can be more flexible but I'm planning my boyfriends first trip, so I want to take him to some specific places.

I am so stressed trying to plan my dining reservations for my November trip with no correct show times/park hours etc...!!!!
I'll see you there! Just as stressed !!! AHHH
Again why? Just eat when you want to. And don't worry when the park closes.

Because we want to see the night/park closing shows.
Yeah, just looking at that original post, It's actually entertaining to try to read it and insert the word "gibberish" for each acronym you don't know. In my line of work, I could easily confuse people if I assumed they knew what I meant. When talking to people "in the know", I could say:
"Call the FCC and CSA to get out an NOH about the past due EOB payments from the NCP ASAP."
Translation:
"Call the Family Court Commissioner and Child Support Agency to get out a Notice Of Hearing about the past due Explanation Of Benefits payments from the Non-Custodial Parent As Soon As Possible."
Honestly, most people would probably listen to the first one and nod their heads even though I was talking in utter gibberish to them. Other than ASAP, they're lost, but won't admit it. I'm surprised more people don't call us out when we over acronym, whether on these boards or anywhere else. If you want to be ignored, just toss around the acronyms.
I guess I'm different in that I know that you cannot do everything on every single trip. If you want a sit down, why not do it at lunch instead of dinner? What restaurants are you trying to get into?

Because if you only have one day scheduled to be in a park, you need to plan your dinner around the night time entertainment. For example, I only have one day booked for Hollywood Studios. Would normally eat dinner around 8 PM, but if the Star Wars fireworks are happening, I'd like to see that. Which is why planning is difficult.

I'm guessing you don't have smaller children? I can't imagine eating at 8 pm. That's late! Or maybe I'm just old.

Nope! No kids here! And I thought I was old, LOL.. I feel like 7:30, 8 PM is perfect for a Disney dinner! At least for me!

I guess we will know when we get the Times Guides when we get there! Here's hoping there's positive news about ROL!

Yes. Yes you are
Heck, I just had my non Disney dinner and it's 9PM.
Gee thanks. But I agree. And 9 PM!!!
We are usually done around 6 PM. But if it's much later the little one turns into a gremlin. One of the ugly ones! 
So we try to plan our Disney dinners about the same time. No worries about closing times interfering. Unless AK hours don't change to something later...

I cancelled a ton of reservations recently.
I'd like to catch the night time shows, but they want us to prebook them before our trips, but won't release the schedules, but we also have to prebook dining reservations...
I'm getting tired of stressing over my vacation details. And I refuse to bring a spreadsheet to keep everything straight.

I'm glad i'm not the only one to think that! My last trip to WDW was all about schedules and booking, at one point we forgot to just wander and have fun!

As it stands right now, half of my trip is @ WDW and the other is at Universarl. The differences are palpable. The first leg of my trip (WDW) is all planning, figuring out how to best work reservations, eating, rides, etc. The second half is simply "Show up".
I'm SO looking forward to simply showing up.
