One thing I'm really having a hard time with is wrapping my brain around the idea of having a bunch of ADR's for a trip that's still over two months out. Part of this, I think, stems from the fact that I'm not sure how much time we realistically will want to spend at sit-down restaurants when we know we have so many things we want to make sure we get to do in terms of attractions. Honestly, the biggest thing I'd like to ensure is that we get to spend the first part of our trip figuring out what our favorites are at each park and then try and come up with a plan for our last couple of days (a Thursday and Friday) that will allow us to hop between the four parks and revisit those favorites again before we leave. We have six days worth of park hoppers, so on that front it seems doable.
Other factors/notations:
1) we do have reservations for Rainforest Café (since several friends of mine said it's pretty good) and Planet Hollywood (since our package is supposed to come with a coupon lol... although I figured DH and I will probably want to check out DTD anyway, so why not eat there?). They are on the same day... RFC is a late lunch and PH is a late dinner, since we generally stay up late.
2) I am keeping an eye out to see if I get any kind of access to FP+ for BOG lunch just because I think it would be a cool place to go. Friends have raved about the dinner experience, but I can't see paying that much for food that doesn't sound that appealing to me, and honestly the lunch menu looks like it will fit our tastes better than the dinner would anyway.
3) we don't have any children, so it will just be us for the most part (although we do have friends who will be down at the same time and other friends who have AP's, so we will probably end up making plans with them for that Friday evening... presumably at Epcot since they have the evening EMH that day)
4) DH and I tend to be night owls and not enjoy getting up too early, especially on vacation. Given that information, I'm not sure we'll be doing much (if any) rope dropping.
Given that information, my instinct says to lay off the ADR's for other meals for now and plan to do mostly QS and snacks that we will be bringing in with us... to the vets, does that sound like a good plan, or do you think we will regret not having planned for more ADR's?
