So my thinking is that in order to take a break, we might like TS restaurants.
I think whether or not a TS meal works well depends on your kids and their ages. A kid who is in a stroller most of the time may not need a nap break, but more a run around break, and may find a sit down restaurant is just one more place to be stuck sitting and not moving.
Even kids out of strollers may get worn down by too many sit-down restaurants. After our last vacation our (now) 9 year old (then 8) begged to please stop going to sit down restaurants. He couldn't stand how long they were. He just wanted to grab food and go. His idea of a break is some place less crowded where he can run, splash, swim, then just chill a bit. On the other hand, we find the transportation time actually helps out kids a bit, so leaving a park to go eat can help in that regard. We might leave earlier than necessary and head to a resort ADR with time to let them hit the play areas of the resort first.
As for the ADRs we do make, we do like to have an idea of when we might be where in mind first, but we have hoppers, so it makes it easier for us. Because say we really want to rope drop MK on Sat. or Sunday, we don't need to be there all day, so we can make an ADR for AK on those days or another day when we might already be in AK from the beginning. So I keep a note pad with the ADRs we are hoping for and a few days/times each that might work for them.
Bear in mind that people will make multiple ADRs for the same place, planning to cancel later as they piece together their final plan. so keep trying if there are any ADRs you cannot make at the 180 day mark. I was recently checking (for fun) for much closer ADRs for BOG, for instance, and was finding them, becuase people keep dropping their extras.
Good luck and have fun!!!
