My husband and I will be at Disney World (arrive 1/24, check out on 2/1) for the first time since January 2012, so there will be many changes for us. This is clearly more of a last minute trip, and I'm trying to get a grasp on a few things. We have purchased the Dining Plan and will have eight table service meals and eight quick service meals. I've already booked the first night's dinner at Boatwright's (we are staying at Port Orleans Riverside).
Now for the remaining seven table service meals. How do I go about planning all my meals when I don't know for sure which park I'll be at on a given day?? The last time we went (we also had the dining plan) I was able to just make a same day reservation based on the park we were in that day. I am NOT super set on any particular restaurant. Is there any chance we can risk just making a same day reservation like we did 12 years ago? If I'm flexible on the restaurant, could that work? Or am I totally living in the past, lol?
I just don't happen to be someone who enjoys planning out every minute of my day. I know that I can make a reservation and change it, but my understanding is that it needs to be cancelled 24 hours before. Would that be a decent compromise? Hope that I can get a change, if so desired, the day before? It's not QUITE as bad as looking for a same day reservation.
Thanks for any advice!
