Staying onsite and extra magic hours

[3disneykids]

Sorry for more questions ...my planning time has been reduced and there is less than 20 days until ADRS...not sure how many I will be booking as I am not upgrading the dining plan bur realised any I do book will need to coincide with days I will be going to the parks.

I am wondering for those who stay onsite if they choose to go to the parks on EMH days or avoid them...It was an easy decision to make last year due to being offsite so deliberately avoided because of how busy it was lol

Thanks in advance

For morning ones, we make use of those if it's the first week and we know we'll be up early anyway. We usually leave the park after lunch as by then it's busier and we've had enough and want to go and relax by the pool

I don't plan for evening ones, but use them as and when the fancy takes us.

Tbh, they change the magic hours all the time, so I've never really worried too much about them, but we've always been onsite anyway so can take advantage of them if we please

We stay onsite and definitely make all our plan around doing every one that’s offered. It’s one of the “perks” of staying onsite.

Yes I do. My preference is the Touring Plans one as I like the numbers!

Don’t forget you can book adr for quick service breakfast and lunch at be our guest as this is a good use of a quick service credit

Thanks
This is one that I am considering and wondering if I should book it each time we are in MK or if that will be too much... Is this the only ADR quick service?
I have read mixed reviews about it as well so i'm not sure what is best.

We normally do breakfast at BOG once during the first week. If you can do it on a day that doesn't have morning extra hours, and get an early afternoon, then you can ride SDMT plus others like Peter Pan and WTP without fastpasses before the crowds are let in for the day.

Lunch, on the other hand, I tend to book for every time we go there as we all really like it and love being able to get a QS lunch without queuing.

I think there is also a new family style dining in pizza Farri that is QS, we have booked the bog breakfast as didn’t fancy the lunch menu, personally I would only do it once but maybe book a couple of adr as difficult to get but easily cancelled
