We have a PPO breakfast and dinner booked at BOG for our trip but if the park hours change I'll cancel the breakfast. IMO, breakfast is only worth it if it's PPO. It's very expensive for what you get. We loved our dinner there though and can't wait to go back!!

I loved the all you can eat breakfast at Whispering Canyon...it was sooooo good. But we not doing any breakfast's this time around. Always a reason to have variety on every visit. We are doing BOG dinner for the first time this year. There are still so many restaurants we haven't tried to keep us having something different.

Most of our ADRs are for breakfast this trip. We have 5 breakfasts and 3 of them are PPO. I love getting into the parks before they open! I'm hoping the hours don't change too much on us so I don't have to cancel and scramble for different times! Enjoy your BOG dinner! BOG and 'Ohana are the only dinners we have booked for this trip. I've never done 'Ohana dinner so I'm hoping it's good.

OMG...are you in for a treat at Ohana'....absolutely phenomenal food! And the atmosphere is really nice. It is a must for me every trip, this and Boma are my two favorites. I'd eat at both places more than once if I could, but have to mix it up for all the others.

I'm so glad to hear that! We didn't love our breakfast at 'Ohana but I decided to give dinner a chance because the reviews seemed better for dinner. Honestly, I'm most excited for the bread pudding!!

Is that an EMH night? We have the BOG for the EMH night...let me check....no we have it Feb. 28th for EMH night.

No it’s the after hours event. We are going at 4 because that’s when we’d are supposed to be let in.

We were going to do ohana for dinner but our niece said 1900 pf breakfast looked better.

My FP+ day is tomorrow! Not trying to get FOP (we're hoping for NRJ) so the only things on the list that WE GOTTA DO are The Haunted Mansion and Frozen Ever After. We also have more than one day in EPCOT, so I think we'll be okay.

Doesn’t sound like you’ll have any trouble at all. Haunted mansion is super easy to get.

Love, love the bread pudding...my favorite next to the Zebra bites at Boma. You are in for a real treat!

You were absolutely right! Got every single ride I wanted, including Na'vi and FEA. So different from my 2016 trip where I couldn't get FEA no matter what date I chose, whew!

Pardon my ignorance but what's FEA?

 

[rosysubmarine]

Pardon my ignorance but what's FEA?

Frozen Ever After. (I'm just too fond of abbreviations!)

 

[ThistleMae]

Frozen Ever After. (I'm just too fond of abbreviations!)

Oh...I was thinking AK, so the FEA threw me off. Yes, that one is hard to get. No FOP's for you?

There were times available, but we're going for Na'vi instead. Both my friend and I are pooh-sized, and we didn't want to waste a fast pass on a ride we could potentially not fit on, especially when we both like relaxing boat rides.

That’s great! Glad you got everything you wanted. I’ve still never ridden fea

Is anyone else having trouble canceling a dining reservation?

Hello fellow March travelers. I was excited to find this thread for all of us traveling at the same time.

Daughters ages 6 and 10
Youngest son is 2
My in laws will also be with us the first half of the week. It will be thier first trip ever!

Ok, tell me: Did I make a ton of mistakes? Did I over or under book things? What should I try to change? It is a little overwhelming trying to plan for such a range of people traveling. I am so glad I found this sight full of Disney experts!! Sorry this is so long, we are so excited for our trip!!

Note about dining: I have put aside money for dining instead of a package because our ten year old will most often not eat adult meals.

I think you have some great dining and FP+ choices! ('Ohana dinner and Kona breakfast never disappoints my family! We will also be dining here this trip.)

My only comment would be your first day at Poly:

February 28
Check in at Poly
Brunch at the Bon Voyage Breakfast
Explore boardwalk/maybe pool time
Dinner at Ohana

What times are your ADRs and what type of transportation would you be utilizing? For me, I think checking out of Pop, going to Poly, heading to the BW and exploring, eating, and getting back to Poly for dinner could be a little hectic.

Is anyone else having trouble canceling a dining reservation?

I am not having an issue today (I have not cancelled one), but I have had many in the past. I have had MDX not give me a cancellation button, show the wrong time, and still show reservations that I know are truly 100% cancelled.

I usually call with the confirmation number and confirm whether or not it is cancelled on Disney's end when it gives me error. It is annoying (especially if you're in the parks), but I like the piece of mind.

I have one still in mde that I canceled almost a week ago. I’ve also been trying to coordinate with someone and when they went to cancel it said they had to call to cancel. We can’t figure out how to coordinate now since they can’t cancel online.

Oh, okay...I love the term you used "Pooh-sized"
