It looks like our trip to the Yacht Club, Oct 25-30, might actually be happening. I'm starting to get used to the idea that we are actually going to WDW soon.
I am a little worried about the lack of dinner time dining choices in the Epcot area, though. We used to just walk into Epcot for some of our meals and that is out. We also used to count on Crews Cup for at least one meal, and that is out. So is Cape May. We have a lunch reservation at Beaches and Cream, our first time eating there in years, so that is good.
Has anyone had any experience with ordering from room service for dinner? This might be an option one night.
I haven't read through all the posts since returning, but we ate breakfast many mornings at Ale & Compass and it was wonderful. We had dinner at Il Mulino and currently, if you are interested, they have a special going on there through 10/31 called Magical Dining where they are offering a $35/person pre fixe menu with an app/entree/dessert. You can go on the magical dining website to find the participating restaurants, this was the only one by BC, but there are other participating restaurants in Disney Springs.
Only a couple of us ordered off the pre fixe menus but we were all pleasantly surprised with Il Mulino. The kids and I couldn't get enough of the mussels, they were out of this world.
We also ate at Bluezoo and it was good. Not mind blowing, but all our fish was fresh and they had interesting takes on certain dishes. I'm personally not one for mixing meat with fish, which they do a lot of there. The steak there was good and everyone loved the NE clam chowder.
Forno Italia breakfast was off for us. I just can't wrap my head around tomato sauce with breakfast, although the pancakes were good (very different). They inadvertently served my husband a raw egg there instead of 2 poached eggs...one raw...like totally raw...and one poached.
We did lunch at beaches and cream. We had higher hopes for this one because when we rented a cabana our first day, we ordered some burgers and a chicken sandwiches and they were absolutely out of this world. I asked our waitress where they came from and she didn't know but we saw them on the Beaches and Cream menu. I'm thinking now maybe they came from Martha's Vineyard or somewhere else because they just weren't as amazing, but we still enjoyed Beaches and Cream and the No Way Jose sundae was wonderful as usual! The jukebox was working until some bratty kids came up and started banging on all the buttons. My 5 year old wanted to tell them to stop and that they were being bad, in hindsight, I almost wish I let her so that the music would have continued, but it stopped after that and they never put it back on.
If you have questions about any particular dishes at the close by restaurants, we ordered almost all of them (we had a large group with us), so feel free to reach out and I'll tell you how they were.
We went to The Boathouse the first night and parking was honestly impossible. Don't drive there whatever you do. We got lucky, but that is a long story and I really thought I was going to have to drop everyone off and leave them there and go back to the resort to take a bus, that's how bad it was!
