I agree with keeping their preferences and willingness to try new things in mind when looking at restaurants. Some people go out of their way to find the most exotic menus on property and some people just want to find the best steak and baked potato. I would figure out which restaurants have items on the menu they would like, and then come back here to get opinions on your choices. Otherwise, you’ll get recommendations for nearly every restaurant on property.What are their favorite foods? Are they open to anything or are there some kinds of food that they don't like? Are you looking for fine dining, casual dining, or a combo?
20 years ago was 2003. Biergarten was definitely not $12 in 2003.20 years ago the TS food was better than it is currently. Beirgarten was a Buffet costing around 12. Ohana was in the same price range they could not get people to eat there. Kona had and most other TS had a Filet and Strip steak on the menu. Whipsering Canyon was a skillet if you wanted Ranglan road was also an option. Major changes would be the addition of DS places like Boathouse and many others. The CS is improved as back then if you ate CS it was a lot of burgers but EPCOT countries were always the exception and Sunshine seasons served a lot of food with what was grown and produced there-- the pulled pork sandwich was amazing I will add..... No clue how they ate 20 years ago but really there is not much there that could really impress a person that eat at TS I would go as far as to say it would be the exact opposite. With that they should be impressed if you choose the right CS options although I am sure they will not like the pricing as years ago the food was priced with people staying there multiple days not a one night out and see you in ? price. Sorry if this sounds negative as it is not meant to be. I will gladly tell you what what was there if you send me a list of what you decide.
I thought the same thing but looked it up and the OP's spelling is correct in British English.I wish OP would edit the title of this thread to correct the spelling of "skeptics."
Yes, but OP is from PA.I thought the same thing but looked it up and the OP's spelling is correct in British English.
My wife is not a fan of "exotic" food but we love Sanaa. Our list trip I believe we did the bread service and desert. We had a table right at the glass. You can't beat it...From my last trip, this month:
For resort restaurants - Second vote for Sanaa, it's now one of my favorites. Most exotic of the food we tried this trip.
For DS - The Edison was really good. It's American food served in a Steam Punk environment.
TP's - Teppan Edo at EPCOT was good, it's like Benihana with Disney flair. Although, I think we liked 50's Prime TIme the best of the TP restaurants we did this trip.
Over time we have mostly stopped doing ADR's for sit down dinners, mostly because my wife just does not each much food at one time and we found the prices for Table Service places to be higher than we want to pay. Other than 1-2 ADR's per trip we now just do mostly Quick Service, food carts and snack window type places. We had resigned ourselves to eating mostly hamburgers and chicken sandwiches but overtime we have discovered there is a lot of good food and plenty of variety if you are willing to pop into multiple places throughout the day.I’m having a similar struggle with my SIL right now. She thinks if we don’t do table service every meal we’ll be stuck eating hamburgers, pizza and french fries the whole trip. They are joining us 5 nights out of 8.
The plan is doing 1 ADR daily, maybe skipping a day, and a mix of in-park and resort table service. The other meals will be lounges and quick service. I’m actually compiling a list of menus this week to email and put her mind at ease.
