Opinions on ADRS for food and wine trip

[DVCDad]

Just booked our ADRs for our next trip, Oct 27th to Nov 4th, followed by Lou's cruise on The Dream.

We get the dining plan, but I wanted to do Food and Wine for a couple nights, so I booked a couple 2 table credit meals.

Saturday, Oct 27th Bistro de Paris
Sunday, Oct 28th Tony's Town Square (MNSSHP night)
Monday, Oct 29th Food and Wine
Tuesday, Oct 30th Kouzzinas
Wednesday, Oct 31st Ohanas
Thursday, November 1st Mickey's Backyard BBQ
Friday, Nov 2nd Food and Wine
Saturday, Nov 3rd La Hacienda de San Angel

We've never done Food and Wine, and are staying at the Beach Club. Luckily my kids love all types of food, so we'll try a bit of everything at Food and Wine.

The only thing I'll mention is that on Saturday night, Epcot will be really crowded. And you have 2 Epcot restaurants on your Saturdays. If you're just planning on going into Epcot for dinner, you're probably fine. But if you're planning on spending any time in Epcot to tour, you might want to reevaluate.

I purposly avoided trying out Food and Wine on weekends, as I've heard it's crazy.

When it comes to dinners in restaurants, we're staying at the Beach Club, and our daily routine is mornings in a park, afternoon at the hotel pool (in this case Stormalong Bay), and then off to dinner. We buy annual passes, so the restaurants we pick aren't necessarily in the park we spend the mornings at.

Our travel day is Saturday Oct 27th, so i wanted a place close. We'll be dressing up for a family photo session, so I figured Bistro de Paris was a good choice. The last day I chose La Hacienda so we could be close to Lou's pre-cruise get together after dinner, which he mentioned to me will probably be in Epcot.
