    Solo lunch and dinner recommendations in the hotels and CityWalk?

    My favorite restaurant on property right now is Big Fire at Citywalk. The food is delicious and prices are reasonable (given its on-property and for the quality). If you're solo, you can sit at the bar and the bartenders will take great care of you. Highly recommend their Smoked, Smoked Maple...

    Impact of HHN on IOA Crowds

    I'm a relatively new Disney to Universal convert and will be visiting September 4-11. I was wondering how HHN impacts crowd levels at IOA -- both during the day and after 5pm when HHN begins. I wasn't sure if IOA might be less-crowded with guests taking advantage of Stay and Scream or perhaps...

    Coke Freestyle Machines

    You can download the Coca-Cola app which does a really nice job of mapping the location of Freestyle machines.

    Studios restaurant question.

    Theoretically, Trolly Car Cafe is selling a lot of the same stuff but it is always a zoo in there. I can't recall ever seeing sandwiches in there, but maybe its just because I wasn't looking for them. My recommendation would be Woody's Lunchbox in Toy Story Land. The sandwiches that they have...

    Free night for solo dinner...what would you do?

    So I take a lot of solo trips to WDW, and I really enjoy visiting Sanaa. There is so much to look at in the restaurant itself not to mention the animals outside (depending on how late your reservation is and what time of year it is).

    Coronado Vs. Beach Club - Help???

    I would chose Coronado. The new tower is opening this July and the new bar restaurant at the center of Lago Dorado will be open. I also love Coronado. I agree with others though that looking at Port Orleans or Old Key West might be better options if you plan to spend a decent chuck of time at...

    When will summer 2019 packages come out?

    Mousesavers compiles a table showing when discounts were released in the past. While Disney is usually pretty consistent everything is always subject to change. Edit: Making the URL more visible because the link is hard to see...

    Please rate my ADR’s!

    It really depends on what time your dinner reservation is and what time RoL is. If you're doing an early dinner reservation (5ish) and RoL is at 8pm or later then you should be okay assuming you get a FP+ for ROL. Alternatively, you could do the ROL Dining Package at Tusker House for breakfast...

    CBR vs POR vs Cabins

    I think a lot of the backlash about CBR over the last few years stemmed from the massive construction effort that was being done at the resort while Disney kept the resort open. To top that off, I don't think it was ever a favorite moderate resort of most Disney fans. Those two things combined...

    Please rate my ADR’s!

    One possible option in place of Trattoria would be Cape May Cafe at Beach Club. They have a breakfast buffet which includes visits from Minnie, Goofy, Donald, and Daisy. I believe they wear beach outfits here rather than the traditional clothes, which is a unique experience.

    Please rate my ADR’s!

    So I am not a big fan of Rainforest Cafe and at Animal Kingdom you have one of the best character meals at WDW:Tusker House. I'd drop Rainforest for Tusker House. Also, while I absolutely love Tiffins it is probably one of the least kid-friendly restaurants in WDW. The environment of the...

    DS Dining and Reservations

    I think it really depends on what time of year you're visiting and which restaurant you're trying for. It seems like Homecomin' and Boathouse are extremely booked so I doubt you'd be able to be a walkup there without a significant wait. Based on checking for my February trip, it seems like it...

    Most Affordable Restaurants for Foodies

    I'll add my 2 cents. Hollywood Brown Derby: This is a signature restaurant and the prices on most of the menu reflect that; however, on the lunch menu they have some more affordable offerings including a burger, chicken sandwich, and a cobb salad. Sanaa: Located at the Kidani Village portion...

    If you can only pick one restaurant for dinner...

    Just about all of the restaurants at Disney Springs are excellent. Homecomin', Paddlefish, Boathouse, Frontera, and Morimoto are all great choices. They have the added benefit of being extremely close to Saratoga. I could also make an argument for Boma or Sanaa over at AKL. Both have unique...

    Character Dining - Basic American

    A new one that is getting pretty good reviews is the Storybook Dining with Snow White at Artist Point. The dining is a bit more upscale so it fits with your goal of getting them top try new things but it is still fairly meat and potatoes. The team from The DIS did a review this weekend.

    Disney's POP CENTURY RESORT Information & Questions

    With the release of AP Discounts for Winter/Spring 2019 yesterday, I've been looking at what's available for my upcoming February trip and saw a new refurbishment notice for Pop Century. The notice reads as follows: It seems like Disney learned their lesson from the Animal Kingdom Lodge pool...

    California Grill Brunch

    So I have a related question... I always book my trips less than 6 months out. The last couple times I've tried to get an ADR for California Grill brunch but there has been no availability. For my February trip, I really want to try it out. I have a TP alert setup in case anything opens once...

    Halloween resort refillable mug?

    I’m having the same dilemma. Also, as of today neither AoA nor Pop Century had these mugs. A CM at Landscape of Flavors said she didn’t even realize this was a thing, so I’m assuming they haven’t had them. It’s begining to sound like a few were put out early unintentionally and they weren’t...

    Online Check-In No Text

    Checked in to AoA today and found that the text message about my room was extremely delayed. I did get room info in MDE.

    Halloween themed refillable mug!

    I checked in to AoA today and unfortunately neither AoA nor Pop Century had the mugs. Everything Pop was mobbed so I didn’t get to ask a CM, but when I asked at AoA the CM I spoke with didn’t even know these existed.
