Are you staying in a Disney hotel? If so, make the most of the extra hour in the parks each morning.

I would try and do a character meal, if you enjoy meeting characters. We like the Plaza Gardens breakfast best. It's quick but we'll organised and there's a good variety of food.

Make the most of the paper fast passes where you can for rides like Ratatouielle, BTM or Peter Pan. If you want to ride Crush, go straight there when the park opens.

Get the Lineberty app for booking character meets in the Studios (basically a virtual queue).

It would help to have some more info such as interests etc to give more tops.

Hi, thank you for your reply.
Thank you for your reply and great info.
We are regulars at Disney World so this is all so different.
We are staying at Sequoia lodge, our stay is a surprise visit for a birthday surprise for our will be 17 yr old, we want to try and do all the must does. We love everything Disney, love to visit the parks and the hotels.
We love most rides but not Aerosmith.
We have the dining plus, does that cover the character breakfast or do we need to pay? So far for the first night I booked Chef Remi.

I think you can upgrade your dining plan breakfast to the character one, but you have to pay a top up fee.

Bistrot Chez Remy is an excellent choice! I like yacht club too, though I know a few people don't think much of the plus set menu, but I liked it. I prefer Hunters Grill over Cape Cod, but if you like seafood, Cape Cod is good. I didn't rate silver spur steakhouse, but once again, others have really enjoyed it. I like Annette's, you can't book that, though. X

Go for drinks at bar fantasia at DLH, watch the mariachi band playing songs from Coco at the cowboy cookout and get there early for rides and characters.

We stayed at Sequoia Lodge on our last visit. It's a beautiful hotel.

Chez Remy is a lovely restaurant. We also loved the atmosphere in Captain Jacks (the pirates rise goes through the restaurant) and the food.

We love DLP especially how everything is within walking distance. Enjoy yourselves ☺
