My family is going to see Fantasmic! for the first time and we have gone to Disney World 6 Times in my lifetime (surprising I know)
We've never done character dining before, but with a 6 and almost 3 year old, I'm thinking now is the time! I'm a little nervous about the ADRs and FP+ not staying on property....only time will tell if we can get everything we want this trip!
I do plan on getting up a few days for the 6 am (4 am for me!) 180 day out ADR openings. Thanks for the Dining Buddy info. Might have to do that if I don't have luck myself!You can make your ADRs at 180 days out regardless of whether you are staying on property or not - you'll just have to do them one day at a time versus one fell swoop. Don't be discouraged if you don't get something right away - keep checking back as reservations can open up, or you can use a site like Disney Dining Buddy to try to score a really difficult one, like your character meal.
I stayed at the Beach Club in February and the location is worth the cost. Hands down the best part is walking directly into World Showcase between France and the UK without the 19 mile walk through the gates past Spaceship Earth and around the Showcase. Anything that gets me to the Rose & Crown quicker is a win! You are going to love it.I have a short return trip for the F&W Festival coming up, but still managed to add a few "firsts". I'll be staying at the Beach Club for the first time. (Might come in handy walking to Epcot!) I'll also be trying Yachtsman Steakhouse for the first time. Pondering the Ft Wilderness segway tour since it'll likely stop during the WL construction coming up.
