Thoughts on our upcoming dining plans - please share yours.

[aml3679]

My husband and I have been to to Disney World a few times in the past. Last October, we moved from New Hampshire to Florida and are only 90 minutes from the Magic. We are now Florida resident annual pass holders also. Here are our upcoming dining reservations for our trip - January 5th until the 12th.

Via Napoli - my husband just loves their pizza and this is a must do for him.

San Angel Inn - more for the atmosphere than the food.

Be Our Guest for breakfast. Many say it is better for lunch but my husband is a picky eater. We ate there for dinner the last time and loved the atmosphere but the food not so much.

T-Rex - another request from my husband.

La Hacienda de San Angel - loved it last time but the noise level was deafening - hopefully, they have addressed this issue.

Chef de France

Moritomo Asia

Hoop de Doo Musical Review - really enjoyed it last time

Kona Cafe for breakfast before heading back to reality.

What are yours? Thoughts on Tables in Wonderland? Thanks.

Okay, I'll share! WE are there for 8 nights in DEcember and so far this is what I have in place for the 7 of us. WE have a few splitting off on one night so I have two booked.

Kona Cafe for arrival night, and the rest are just random, I cannot remember our park detail.

Garden Grill PPO
Coral Reef: dinner CP dining package
BOG lunch
H&V seasonal dine
Skipper Canteen
California Grill Nieces request
Narcoossee DGD request
Tony's for the parade package
Le Cellier DSIL request
TErralina
Tratorria al Forno

I think that is it. We need to make changes though because I think we have too many dinners booked. I may cancel the Parade package if the girls have no interest in the parade. I have seen it, and am okay if we skip it, but it is on a busy week. I don't want to stand around too long, but am willing to sit and eat.

H&V is in the air as well. I want to go, however if teh rest of the family decides this extra is too much, I will cancel it.

NArcoossee and CG are teh ones we split up on. My nieces are celebrating a marraige so they want one meal alone.

We are there in December, family of 4, and we have the following:

Boathouse dinner
Garden Grill PPO breakfast
Biergarten CP dinner
Beaches & Cream lunch
Sci-Fi dinner
1900 Park Fare breakfast
Boma dinner
Boma breakfast
Yak & Yeti dinner
Kona Cafe breakfast
Shula’s or Sanaa for a date night - undecided

I’m on the lookout for a CRT, we’ll see if I can find one by then. My daughter just asked about it last week. Sigh.

First, I love Tables in Wonderland. The savings for us was significant but we do about 1 TS a day so it didn't take long for 4 adults to get the value out of it.

Our next trip:

Raglan Road Dinner at Disney Springs**
Nine Dragons Dinner at Epcot China Pavilion**
Crystal Palace Lunch at Magic Kingdom Main Street
Yak and Yeti Lunch at Animal Kingdom Asia**
Sci Fi Lunch at Hollywood Studios
'Ohana Breakfast at Polynesian Resort
Biergarten Lunch (Eat to the Beat Dining) at Epcot Germany Pavilion
Trail's End Brunch at Fort Wilderness

**Means those restaurants are new to me.

 

[aml3679]

Thanks, I think I will bite the bullet and splurge for Tables in Wonderland.

If you like adult beverages you will probably get your money's worth on the TIW.

Our family of 4 (with two semi-picky eaters) are planning to try the following TS restaurants -

Tony's
Biergarten
Sci Fi
Trails End
Tusker House - breakfast
WCC - breakfast

Artist Point
Kona Café - Breakfast

Is your parade package for the week of 12/23-12/30? I haven't been able to book and haven't been able to tell if they are all reserved or haven't been released? If you have it booked that week then I know I'll have to keep trying for a cancellation. I need one for 5 on 12/27.

I am doing my first solo trip in October, so still unsure how I will feel dining alone, so I only made a few ADRs for my ten night stay. California Grill, Jikos, Il Molino and Paddlefish. As well as BOG for lunch. I plan to wander into the lounge area of a few other restaurants and have dinner.
Enjoy your trip and your newfound status as Florida residents!

Ihave given thought to how I would dine if I was traveling solo. I think that is a wonderful opportunity to visit some of the lovely lounges for meals. There are so many on property!

 

[GeraldineW]

Thanks! That is so kind. I'm thinking they haven't loaded my week yet because it is the Christmas Parade not FOF but maybe they aren't going to offer it all my week.
