Hi all!
Brand new to all of this - never been to DW, going 9/25 with my DH, DS9, DD7 and DS3 for our first family trip there! I am booking through Small World Vacations, and my TA has been so responsive for the last two days as I continue to stalk her via e-mail. I thought I would give her a little break and check with some board experts.
So here's the scoop - we are booked at BCR 9/25-10/3. I have a Magic Your Way Package that includes free dining. Since I don't have a Disney Rewards Visa, my TA is going to book my package the minute the FD opens to the public, either Sunday night or Monday. After perusing these boards, I'm feeling major pressure to have my ADR selections ready to go by the time FD is released to the general public! Which gives me like...no time!
I keep reading that late September is the "slow" season...but also that during FD it's hard to get ressies. Do these two things cancel each other out and make it reasonable? Should I absolutely have my dining ready to be booked along with the package, even though it's supposedly a slow time in DW?
My brain is melting over all the info on these boards, it is SO great but so overwhelming. I've been lurking for some time, but now that the trip is reality panic has set in (and utter excitement, of course)!
I would also welcome any recommendations for ADR. I'm not hugely adventurous in the dining department, and neither are the kids (my poor DH...he is!)
Thanks in advance!
