"So are you POSITIVE we can't repeat any ADRs?"
These were the words spoken by me to my boyfriend when we decided to book a 9 night trip in November a few weeks ago.. with the majority of my favorite places already booked I was in a total panic! We made the decision that we wanted to try and eat at as many different places as we could, and just keep crossing them off the imaginary list of all TS places I had yet to create. But let's rewind a little here... maybe rewind isn't the best word... I am sure I will jump around a bit!
I decided to start a pre trip report in the dinning section because to be honest, I started a pre trip report in the other area and was talking so much about food that I thought I should move it over here. Alas now I have two reports and will lay off the excessive food talk over there!
Last trip we did Deluxe dinning and we loved it, my boyfriend (I will come up with a nickname eventually..) was full all the time, but he felt the need to finish every dish brought to him, I on the other hand loved being able to try this and that, out to dinner locally I tend to love appetizers and desserts so having those daily was awesome for me. Needless to say we are trying to decide if financially it makes sense this time around. I know people say that the plan forces you to order things you might not usually order, but with us that isn't really true. So I will be posting what we think we will order and keeping track of money to see how it works out!
Our traveling party consists of myself, my boyfriend (age 32) and my DS9. I personally love seafood, chicken, veggies, and creme brûlée. It is safe to say I tend to love dessert the best! My boyfriend is a laid back meat and potatoes kind of guy, read on to see what interesting places I booked that may throw him for a loop! He isn't big into fancy prep, or unnecessary garnish, and isn't too big into tiny portions that tend to happen when you eat at a nice place. Now my little man... he still eats like he did when he was 4 or 5, he loves nuggets, pasta with butter, and maybe sometimes pizza or mac n cheese. His tastes aren't growing too much however he will always try new things, just never really likes them. We have progressed to turkey breast and things but needless to say... being as into cooking and food as I am... it's a little sad he ISN'T!
To make things more difficult my little man is getting braces today!!! So, no more super crunchy or gooey food, which should be interesting. Do I need to be one of those people who carries a toothbrush around for him?
We will be staying at AoA from 11/13-11/11/22 and are debating the deluxe dinning plan. We have done it in the past and loved it, all of us for different reasons. However, this time we are making our ADR's and figuring what we *think* we will order and adding it up to see if financially the savings is there... we tend to be appetizer and dessert people regardless. Besides, why not live it up while on vacation!
I know this post was long winded and somewhat boring but I am on the iPad and can not add photos just yet! I will introduce us all with our smiling faces as soon as I can!
The next post should be our day one plan!!

Let's get into the good stuff.... the food! I will be going over not only where we plan on eating but WHAT we plan on eating... we are still debating the dinning plan so I am trying to figure meal costs for our entire trip vs the cost of the plan in an effort to see if it is worth it. So if you are up for the lengthy read I would love any advise! 
$12.99 2. Blueberry Pancakes with your choice of Ham, Bacon, or Sausage $10.99 (boyfriend wants the blueberries cooked in not just plopped on top, anyone know which way they do it?)
