We are late eaters at home, with me working and all of DD's activities, we generally don't eat until 7ish. I figured if she got hungry beforehand, I'd get her a snack to tide her over. She's actually not that much of a dinner eater at home - breakfast & lunch seem to be her 2 big meals. I don't know about the volume during early seating, but I was hoping to avoid the youngest of the kids. (Not that I object to kids, obviously, just would prefer not to dine with quite so many of them.
) I also liked the idea of going to the early shows and being free as a bird once dinner was over.
The thing I am learning from these boards is not to even try to plan everything. We are just going to go with the flow. If the late seating does not work out, or we don't feel like getting dressed up, we'll go to Topsiders. It's a vacation, and if I worry about it like I worry about work, then it defeats the purpose, ya know?

ps: I am so glad Chanukkah does not start until we get home! We are having a "ChanuMas" party (my husband is not Jewish, and DD is being raised more Christian than Jewish, although we celebrate all the holidays) this year and I want to do it on the Friday night after we return. Phew!!!
