We are arriving at the Polynesian around 9 am on a Tuesday in mid-January. It will be me, DH, and our 3 boys, who are all age 9. We will be on the dining plan and are planning to go to AK that day. I’m struggling with what to do for both breakfast and lunch. We typically are not big lunch eaters. I’m more than a bit frustrated with planning this trip as I’m getting very little help from my husband and sons. They are used to mom taking care of everything, but my husband will have no problems saying “Why did you do that” later. Sigh. Thank you to everyone here for all your help, because without it, I would be completely on my own. First big question is, can we use the DDP on our check-in day prior to our check-in time? If not, we will just pay oop for breakfast.
For breakfast, I am considering something quick and easy. We prefer TS meals, so I’m looking at either: Kona Cafe, Grand Floridian Cafe, The Wave buffet, or Rainforest Cafe. Which would you suggest?
I reserved the ROL dining package for Tiffins for 3:20 that day, which seemed a bit early. The have reservation choices for an early dinner instead, which we would prefer, but would we miss the Rivers of Light show if we opt to not do the dining package and just made a dinner reservation at Tiffins later? I have considered Tusker House, but we have already eaten there and Tiffins would be something different. I’ve also considered Boma, but really don’t love the idea of leaving the park just to eat. We have Park Hoppers and I was also considering venturing to DS or Epcot for a meal, but again our plan is to go back for the Rivers of Light show and I just see that as more of a headache. We park hop quite a bit from Epcot to Magic Kingdom but we seldom park hop on our days at DHS and AK.
Thanks again for the wealth of information you have provided in the past!
