Well, we went around a few times with the kids on where they might like to eat on this next trip and they shot down my Hoop-Dee-Doo suggestion.

We ended up with lunch at Rainforest Cafe, lunch at Whispering Canyon Cafe and breakfast at Akershus with the princesses. The rest of the places everyone wants to eat are quick service, so no ressies needed.

We'll still do a lot of meals at the camper, but I learned last time that I planned on too many meals there and didn't plan enough to be flexible and want to grab a meal or a snack while we were out.

That's some serious planning. I have a hard enough time getting my DW to decide what she wants for dinner that day.

As easy as it is to manage things from your phone, I'd probably be mapping out things earlier too.

And, yes, we find we are grabbing things in the parks throughout the day. We typically would eat breakfast at the camper. Lunch would be counter service or a snack in the parks. We have ADRs for 3 or 4 nights of the week. The rest of the other 3-4 days would be at the camper or where ever we happened to be when we got hungry.

I always over pack food when I camp anyway. I never know what sounds good until that meal anyway.

Trust me, here at home we are the same way, but it seems at Disney if you don't make your ADRs at the 180 mark, it gets hard to get what you want. I'd rather book early and know I have them, then change something if I need to.

Yep, I booked our ADRs on Christmas Eve!!! And we were very flexible in what we could get. I did lok at EMH schedule and try to plan around that, but we did good. Even got a HDR resisie!! We are going w/ some friends who have never been, so they are getting excited.

loislane, I'm with Teamubr on the overpacking of the food. My DD and DS both have friends in Orlando, so I always wanna have extra food just in case they come to visit. Of course I always try to empty the freezer while we're there so I can stock up on Mickey ice cream bars
