We will finish out World Showcase and then go to Dinner @ Spirit of Aloha Dinner Show at the Polynesian.

**I am very pleased with our meal choices. The only day that I am a little concerned with is Day 6. Originally we had 3 meals on Day 5, but with CRT being a 2TS credit, we felt it should only be done with 1 other meal. Now I am worried that 3 Buffet/family style meals in one day would be a ton of food. The only thing to keep in mind is Day 5, we have a 930 appt @ BBB. Our Kona Cafe ressie is @ 8:00, which I know we will have plenty of time to get from there to the MK for her ressie, i am afraid any other restaurant would present a time constraint.
Remember that with buffet/ family style meals you can just eat smaller meals at each. The other option would be to swap the meals around to a mix of buffet/ family style & traditional restaurants. My family & I find three sit down meals a day of any kind to be way too much food and too much park time wasted. You could easily spend 5+ hours a day eating 3 sit-down's a day in peak season. We prefer to do 1 signature & one ts or cs a day with snacks used to fill in. I would see if the BBB ressie can be bumped any later or if you could swap out breakfast beforehand to something in the MK. An hour and a half sounds like a lot of time, but you could end up feeling on edge and rushed to get from breakfast as every little delay adds up.
