** after getting lunch we used our 3 remaining CS meals and snack credits (I didn’t list snacks we got, to time consuming!) at Gasparillas and got waters, snacks, etc. for ride home
If I were to add up everything listed above, it comes to 752 dollars WITHOUT tip. If I add in the last 3 CS meals we bought it would add about 30. so lets say 782. this doesn’t count snacks which we used all 14 of. Lets say we spent 3 bucks a snack, times 14, is 42 dollars, tack that on and its $824.00 add 18% tip like they do and its $972.00 for two people for 7 nights, and we even paid OOP for two meals, AND DH was sick for three days! Hhaaha
Sssooo…at 37.99 a person, times two people, that’s 76 dollars a day. 972 divided by 7 nights comes out to 139 dollars a day for two people, so we saved 63 dollars a day, times 7 days, comes to 441 dollars we saved on the dining plan.:woohoo: So is it worth it? HECK YES! That’s a lot of money (to me) to save, esp. for just two people! I hope all my calculations made sense to everyone!
***COMING UP: I being my reviews! Starting with 1900 park fare and sci fi! Stay tuned!:surfweb:

DAY ONE: 1/7
1900 PARK FARE-OOP
We arrived at the GF at 7:30 to check in after a 10 hour drive, and we were exhausted! We had 7:50 ADR’s so we politely told the concierge guy that we had to hurry to check in. we left our luggage at the desk and said we would call when we were done. We were still in travel clothes, and looked pretty pathetic! We checked in to 1900 park fare at 7:50 on the dot, and received a beeper. We sat outside and only waited about 5 minutes. We were seated the first table on the left as you walk in. normally that would have bugged me but I was SO tired and hungry I didn’t care! DH really loves to eat and loved buffets, so he went at it and got a ton of food.
http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j33/hbridges/100_2246.jpg
he is very excited about his food. :lmao:
I cant stand for my food to touch (I know I’m weird) so I had to go up a lot more times. I don’t do the “pile all the food on top of each other” thing. Our server was very good, got us refills when asked and was very nice, even with the huge crowd in there. The food was very good, lots of good variety, and the dessert was yummy. The character interaction was great as always, the mice came around twice and suzy and perla once. The first time one of the mice came, DH was at the buffet and she “said” she would come back. I thought “yeah right! She will forget” but she didn’t, as soon as DH sat down, she came back to our table. I was impressed!
GRADE:
Food: A
Service: A
Character interaction: A
Restaurant overall: B- (this place needs some help, it has major wear and tear. Thank goodness help is coming for it soon!)

DAY TWO 1/8
SCI –FI @ MGM Studios
We paid for this meal OOP, but we planned it that way b/c we knew this would be a cheaper meal. We didn’t get appetizers or desserts, we just used a snack credit after to get a Mickey bar! Our ressies were for 11:15, and we got there and they didn’t have us down until 1:00. uh oh. Someone messed up and it wasn’t me! They said it was ok and I gave them my name anyway. They called us but DH was in the bathroom. Bah! So we had to wait until he came out and then get the next table. It was ok, only about 3 minutes more. We were seated on the left side in the very back corner in the back of a car with another couple already in the front.
http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j33/hbridges/100_2274.jpg
DH was excited to see everything and thought it was really neat. We both ordered burgers, but he got onion rings instead of fries with his. They were very good burgers, but very big and I couldn’t eat all of it! DH said the onion rings were greasy but good.
http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j33/hbridges/100_2276.jpg
Our server was very nice, but a little slow on getting refills and such. I think she had a lot of tables. It took awhile for our food to come out as well. But other than that, we really enjoyed it very much!
GRADE:
Food: A
Service: B
Restaurant overall: A this place is so neat even if just to look at it! We love the theming!

ok, we ate at Gasparillas a LOT so I am just reviewing it one time. lol. we found it very convenient for us, we were in the main bldg. so just an elevator ride downstairs and a quick walk outside. we spent many a night sitting at teh tables outside watching wishes and eating. DH LOVED the personal pizzas and got like 5 on the trip. I enjoyed the hot dog. it was really good and I was very surprised! the fries were also very good, and for dessert there is make your own ice cream sundaes. we loaded them up with TONS of hot fudge and sprinkles ::yes:: the CM's in tere were always very friendly, and it was so nice that it is open 24 hrs!
it gets an "A" for everything!!!!
next up: Pecos bill and coral reef:cheer2:

DAY THREE- 1/9- Tuesday
PECO’S BILLS. lunch
We decided to eat CS b/c we were SUPPOSED to eat at Narcoossees that night and wanted to be good and hungry, and this was honestly the first place we came to, we didn’t plan it lol. We both ordered cheeseburgers and fries and these brownie mousse things. There was really no line, we waited maybe 2 minutes, said we were on the DP, no problems. There are 2 lines buffet style once you get your food for extras and such, plenty of room to get in. we found a table in the room on the right in the corner by the window looking into frontierland. It was nice and pretty quiet, as it was not busy at ALL (off season, big time!) :cheer2: the burgers were well, burgers. Not quite as good as sci fi, but still good. The fries were REALLy good. The brownie thing…it was HEAVEN! It was VERY rich, and I looked at the nutrition facts, it was like over 450 calories! :crazy2: Yikes! No wonder it was so good! I didn’t eat all of it after seeing that…haha. We left full and happy. Overall good meal

DAY 4- WEDNESDAY
Coral Reef
sorry took me so long...had a family crisis tonight...I'm ok now!
my Dh got a stomach virus tuesday afternoon, and was sick all night, we even had to have the paramedics come. it was pathetic. if you want the whole story check out my TR in my siggy. so, we ended up canceling a few meals. wednesday night he was still pretty sick but knew he needed to try and ea, and he felt bad about me having to sit around all day, so we went to coral reef anyay (big mistake! he was MISERABLE, hardly ate two bites, and had to go lay down in the lobby twice! it took 30 minutes for us to get to CR from the momorail we had to go so slow and stop and rest a lot!) bad memories! anyway, I know coral reef is a hot topic with mixed reviews, but despite the circumstances....I LOVED it! what DH DID get to eat he said was good. he wants to go back for our DEC 2007 trip so he can really eat there! haha.
we got the seafood soufle and the crab legs for appetizer. DH did not really like the texture of teh soufle, but said the crab legs were so good. he got the mahi mahi and of the two bite she took (haha) he said it was very good. I got the steak, and it was very good. not the ver very best I've had, but good. the potatoes that came with it were excellent as well. the best part to me was the dessert. teh chocolate wave was DIVINE :cloud9: absolutely yummy. you must get it!

Mahi Mahi
i didn't take a pic of dessert b/c DH was getting REALLY bad by then and i ate it really fast and hurried out. sorry!
we did not get to sit by the tank, but still really enjoyed the atmosphere of this place. after we checke din we waited like, 3 minutes if that before our table was ready. the bread is also very very good. our waiter was very nice. he came and took a pic of us and brought it back in a coral reef card for us for our honeymoon. it was so nice. too bad DH looks AWFUL! haha he was so sick!

What was that steak at the Coral Reef? That looks like what I wanted, but I ended up getting a HUGE piece of prime rib instead! The prime rib was very good, but it was almost big enough for our family of 4!
I don't like my food to touch either. A friend at work bought me a divided plate, and they make fun of me, but I still use it!

thank you all for your kind wordds! the steak at CR was the NY strip. they actually cooked it pretty close to how i like it. it has been my expecience at disney that different places have different definitions of medium or medium well, so i just started asking the waiter and tleling him how i wanted the steak to look reather than say a name of how to cook it lol. :confused3

Pizzafari lunch
thursday was AK day. DH was not sick in bed anymore, but he was really weak and had to go slow, and was still not hungry. we only ordered one CS meal and shared. i got the personal pizza meal, which was actually quite good. we didn't ahve to wait long to get the food, they had numerous cash registers open. i got the peparoni pizza with a frozen strawberry lemonade thing YUM!:love: and a sprite. we once again found a quite room to teh right and then off to the left in the back. the seating areas are actually really cute and well themed in here, and I'm sorry i don't have a pic of it. but here is the food.
http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j33/hbridges/100_2315.jpg

DAY FIVE- Thursday
dinner: Grand Floridian Cafe
To us, the GF cafe is our little hidden "gem" it is very under rated and it has never been crowded when we eat there. on my last trip, we ate there for breakfast and lunch,and and this trip we went for dinner. it was nice and convenient t just go down the elevator, take about 15 steps and you are there! we got there at 6, and did not have ADR's. we had them for the day before for lunch but cancelled b/c of DH being sick. they were SO sweet and said "no problem" i had my honeymoon button on, and they were so excited for us and gave us a window seat. there was literally no one around us. :love:
http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j33/hbridges/100_2329.jpg
for appetizers, bobby got crab cakes and i gt the cheese platter. I am very picky and only ate some of mine, but DH said it was ver good for a "normal person" (thanks) DH really enjoyed his crab cakes and even though he still didn't eat a lot, he ate over half the crab cakes.
http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j33/hbridges/100_2332.jpg
http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j33/hbridges/100_2333.jpg
for entrees, DH got the land and sea, and i got the new york strip.
http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j33/hbridges/100_2334.jpg
http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j33/hbridges/100_2335.jpg
as soon as i got my steak, i had to move it away from the other food on my plate. lol!:rotfl2:
DH said the shrimp were EXCELLENT and I relaly enjoyed the steak. again, not the best i have ever had, but good. the mashed potatoes on teh other hand....these were the best thngs I have ever had! I'm sure they had tons of butter in them, but they were so good! DH was upset that he couldn't finish his meal, his appetite was still not normal. he decided to skip dessert and I decided to get the chocolate fondue. I was excited about this b/c i llloovvvee chocolate. but it was just....ok. see, it was DARK chocolate, and i dont like dark chocolate, so it tasted kind of bitter IMO. but if thats the worst thing to happen at this meal I'll take it!
our server was also very nice. she brought everything out promptly and explained all the different DP options to us.

DAY SIX -Friday
LUNCH
Cap'n Jacks DTD
OK...this is going to be an interesting one. i know some people love this place....but we hated it. now, granted, a lot of ppl go for dinner to get the lobster, and thats great, but that is not on teh lunch menu, and what we ordered was NOT good.
ok, so first of all we walk in at 11:25, and aparently the place doesn't open till 11:30. only problem is, teh girl at teh conuter speaks HORRIBLE English and we couldn't understand that she was trying to say that they were not open yet! how annoying! plus, we were FIVE min. early. come on now. so that got me annoyed to begin with. you shouldn't be a hostess if you cannot speak ENGLISH! BAH!
ok..so we come back 5 minutes later, and are seated. our waiter was very very nice, very attentive, and totally not teh problem. he was great! as we wait for him to come take our order, i look around. the place just looks....dirty. it just looks kinda old and yucky, and just not my style. but that i could get passed if the food was Great. we order apetizers and get the new england clam chowder and the spinach and artichoke dip. DH said the clam chowder was pretty good, and teh dip just "ok" and nothing special.
http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j33/hbridges/100_2366.jpg
he was finally getting his apetite back! haha. (but not completely)
I ordered the chicken alfredo, and DH orders the shrimp in lobster sauce. DH loves seafood and lobster, so it was a good bet for him (we thought)
our food came and we started to eat.....first of all, the noodles were chewy, and the sauce in mine kinda too liquidy. DH said the lobster sauce tasted NOTHING like lobster sauce but like bad cheese. it was edible, but just, blah. mine didn't have a lot of flavor, and it was just....substance. something to eat. but def. not "good"
http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j33/hbridges/100_2368.jpg
nasty lobster sauce

the chicken I had that had no taste.
the highlight of this meal would be the dessert, but seriously, how can you csrew up desert so i won't even give them that. it was like a lava cake with ice cream and all these toppings. it was yum, but nothing that i couldn't make at home.

DAY SIX- Friday
Dinner
Le Cellier-Canada (EPCOT)
by this time DH had his full apetite back, and I was very excited for him! on m ylast trip, le cellier was one of my fav. places to eat, and i know it gets dis board hype, so lets see what happened....
ADR was for 6:10, we got there at 6:05, and had to wait about 15 minutes. it was a nice night, so it was ok. we finally go in and this place is PACKED. we get seated right in front of the bathrooms with a table LITERALLY a foot and a half next to us. luckily, there was no one sitting there. yet. (they were the little two perosn tables.) our waiter finally comes and is very nice but very very slow. it took 15 minutes to get our drinks and bread. then we ordered apetizers, and he took off before we could order our food! he cam eback 10 minutes later and took our order. by then we needed more drinks, and that took another 15 minutes. our apetizers finally arrived a few minutes later. I got the cheddar cheese soup and DH got the beef skewer. DH LOVED the beef skewer, said it was so good. the soup was...ok. It is strange, i swear I remmeber it tasting a lot better than this...i only ate about half.
http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j33/hbridges/100_2388.jpg
http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j33/hbridges/100_2389.jpg
we both ordered the filet, and i didn't realize it had some weird BBQ sauce on it. I really was not impressed. first of all, i asked for medium to medium well, a litle pink on the inside...it came back chared, blackened burned. and the sauce was just not my cup of tea. i am sure it would have been ok not burned and without that sauce, but oh well. dh said it was just "ok" too.
http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j33/hbridges/100_2390.jpg
i dont know why they put it on such a BIG plate. it looks so little and lonely. :guilty:
ok so after 15 minutes of flagging down this dude, we order dessert. i got the sorbet and DH got the creme brule.
http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j33/hbridges/100_2391.jpg
the sorbet was ok, not great but refreshing. Dh said the crem brule was ok, but then again he isn't into fancy desserts, so it could just be him haha.
now, let me back up a little. about the time we got our apetizers, they sat a couple down next to us. great. i was determined to make teh best of it...which was impossible. let me paint ya a little picture here. it was another honeymooning couple. but not just ANY honeymooning couple. it was high maintenece barbie and her husband. this girl had long bleach blonde hair, VERY expensive clothes on, name brnad EVERYTHING, and she talked like a balley girl....i'm not kidding. "like, totally, i freaked out when that squirrel came running in front of me, like, oh my gosh, like, it was so, like, gross!" AAAHHH I was in H-E double hockey sticks. and she talked LOUD. i didn't want to hear her conversation but it was kinda hard not to. she kept saying how she couldnt wait to get home and get her little fee fee or foo foo or whoever out of the kennel b/c she missed him so much and how she was getting a mani-pedi as soon as she got home. it was AWFUL! AAAHH! :scared: and they were basically sititng on top of us....it was the most akward meal.....i guess i dont rmember it being like that last time b/c last time we had 7 ppl so we were at a big table away from everyone else. but i don't think we ill be going back here. food jsut ok. and atmosphere too crowded for me!
GRADE:
Food: C+ or a generous B- since DH loved the skewer
Service: C. waiter slower than Christmas...and kinda dumb to boot
Atmoshpere: C or B depending on where you sit! it is a neat place, but i felt so uncomfortable being so close to people!:crowded:

everyone has a different experince. it was a BAD place. just not as amazing as everyone makes it out to be. if you get a good table, have a competent waiter and don't order the wrong thing then hopefully it should be fine! lol.

Loving the reviews Heather, it's a shame that your DH was so ill, at least he got his appetite back by the end of the trip.
In Le Cellier, do they not have private tables? I don't really like the idea of eating with strangers and i thought that most places you would sit with your own party. Does this happen at most WDW restaurants? I'm concerned now.

ok, we ate at Gasparillas a LOT so I am just reviewing it one time. lol. we found it very convenient for us, we were in the main bldg. so just an elevator ride downstairs and a quick walk outside. we spent many a night sitting at teh tables outside watching wishes and eating.
Hi heather,
Can you really see wishes from Gasparilla's? We will be staying at the GF-Sugar Loaf in November.

it was a private table just to ourselves, a little two perosn table, but it was literally on top of teh two person table next to us. there were a couple tables in the bacl that looked more secluded, but i wasn't about to wait around for one of those. plus, when we got there no one was at the table next to us at first. it is a very small restaurant withvery close quarters:crowded:

About LeCellier...not great news, as we are planning an ADR there in October! We will have 4 in our party...are all the tables that close together, or just the 2 person tables?
That steak does look tiny!!

02-27-2007, 01:31 PM
well, maybe not all the tables, but a lot of them are very side by side.
here is another review from someone "squished": http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1301610
here is a pic i found on the boards. you cansee how close some of the tables are:

like I said, maybe we just had a bad table, bad waiter, ands I picked the wrong food. haha. but personally, there are better places to eat in Disney In our opinions!

DAY SEVEN-1/13
LUNCH
50's Prime time cafe
this place was a definate to do for DH's first visit. he loves to joke with ppl so I knew he would get a kick out of this place. we had 11:05 ADR, and got there at 11:15 (stunt show ran late!) and were seated in 5 minutes or less.
our waiter was "cousin" J. R., who was.....of the homosexual persuasion, which was fine, but very funny. DH is not a big fan of being checked out by other men, and I thought it was quite funny. i had already been to the bathroom, and so when I came back JR asked if i washed my hands, and knowing his little tricks I said "yes and its BLUE!" (refering to the soap) he was all upset I ruined his joke hehe. DH got told repeatedly to get his elbows off the table, and he rolled his eyes like a child. too funny! also, a family by us had to get up, come to our table, and tell us congratulations. it was cute.
we both got vanilla milkshakes for our drinks, and a glass of water
http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j33/hbridges/100_2419.jpg
http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j33/hbridges/100_2416.jpg
this was a mistake. teh milkshake was so filling, I was't hungry for my meal!
for apetizers I got the herb cheese and DH got the onion rings.
http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j33/hbridges/100_2417.jpg
DH proclaimed the onion rings "good" and i thought the herb cheese was just ok...the bread was hard as a rock!
i ordered the fried chicken and DH the chicken pot pie. the fried chicken was pretty good, the greens, not so good. I tried them, and when JR asked if i did, DH told him I hadn't! so he made me eat more! DH lied! i was "mad!" haha. but they were really gross. DH said the pot pie was good but not great. (i think we were both so stuffed full of milkshake everything tasted not as good!)
http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j33/hbridges/100_2418.jpg
but of COURSE we got dessert! I got the smores and SH a hot fudge sundae. :cloud9:
http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j33/hbridges/100_2422.jpg
very very good. but i was so upset I couldn't finish! but i wish i had them now! dont you hate that? at the time you are stuffed, and then a month later, you would give anything for it!
GRADE:
food: B. filling and good, but not "spectacular"
service: JR was very good and played the part well,and always got us water refills, and came and talked to us alot
overall atmosphere: A. atmosphere can't be beat! its so cute and fun!:yay:

Thanks for posting more great reviews, really looking forward to 50s Prime Time, have to remember no milkshake before food though;) , I'm with you on this Le Cellier thing, it was good, but not up to the hype of these boards, and table location is important in a room like that, for privacy. Thanks again,

DAY SIX 1/13
Dinner
Narcoossees!
ok, so this was by far our fav. meal of the trip,so glad it was the last night, it was a great way to top off our disneymoon! we had 7:00 ressies, but changed them b/c the saints/eagels playoof game was starting at 8, and I couldn't miss it! (yes I knwo I have issues hehe) we got there at about 5 till 6, and were seated right away. it was pretty empty in there. we got a seat by the window, and it still wasn't quite dark so we could see everything.
our server was a middle aged lady who was so sweet. we told her it was the last night of our honeymoon, and she brought us complementary champange. how nice! we ate some bread as we looked at the menu (which is really good bread!) and finally decided. Bobby ordered the crab cakes for apetizer and whole maine lobster for entree. I got some kind of cheese platter for apetizer and the filet mingon for entree. I told her i wanted the steak a little pink in the middle and she said they would butterfly it. I was hoping they would cook it right!
http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j33/hbridges/100_2428.jpg
yay
http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j33/hbridges/100_2429.jpg
our apetizers came very quickly. bobby said the crab cakes were really good, and well...i'm sure the cheese would be good to a normal non picky person,but i dont like weird stuff. i ate some of it that was good, but to me some of it just wasn't great. bobby liked it though.
http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j33/hbridges/100_2431.jpg
whatever that bread stuff wa son the bottom rightr was really good though! as was whatever was covering the cheese on the bototm left!
http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j33/hbridges/100_2432.jpg
crab cakes
our food cam eout in about 20 minutes or so, and bobby lobster was HUGE! it was 2 and 1/4 pounds, and bobby decided to name him stan. (i have no idea...) we both began to eat and MAN was it GOOD! I eat a lot of steak, and am very much a meat and potatoes girl, but this was amazing! whatever glaze they put on it was awesome! i usually get full quickly but i ate every bite!
http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j33/hbridges/100_2435.jpg
yummy!
http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j33/hbridges/100_2433.jpg
bobby and stan
it took bobby awhile to eat that massive thing, but he was determined. we don't drink much so bobby got a bit loopy on the champange...

oh yes, he played with the lobster claws. it was too cute! i couldn't stop laughing. i looked at my watch, it was 7:30 and we hadn't even ordered dessert! ok, so we ordered and went ahead and gave her our DP card to scan so we could leave when we were done. i got the sorbet and DH got the cheesecake (we wanted to share both):cloud9:
http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j33/hbridges/100_2441-1.jpg
very good, lots of fresh fruit. i think it was mango and cherry flavored?
http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j33/hbridges/100_2442-1.jpg
i knwo its hard to see but they put a sugar sign thing on the back with the princesses dancing with their princes for our honeymoon. it was edible but not very good haha. but teh cheesecake...oh my gosh SO GOOD! if you lie cheesecake this is a must! we were so full but stuffed it in anyway! we left just as wishes was getting going and ran back to the main building and turned on the saints game. (which they won) so hands down, best meal of the trip!:thumbsup2
GRADE:
Food: A ++++++!
Service: A+ she was so sweet and very informative.
atmosphere: A very cute place right on the water, great view esp. from window seat. got a little loud as we were leaving, there is no carpet, we thought it might help with teh noise! (like they would take my suggestion haha)

Breakfast at Gasparillas.
http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j33/hbridges/100_2443.jpg
Bobby got the most expensive thing of course, the bounty platter. i got the pancake platter. I must say, it was really good! the bacon was delicious and the pancakes cooked just right. DH got a TON of foor for the price, basically a little bit of everything. bacon, pancakes, waffle, hasbrowns, eggs, biscuit, sausage. he really liked it and ate every bite, whats new haha. we sat out by the marina and watched the castle while we ate. it was a yucky morning with that nasty light mist. it got worse so we finished our food inside. after, we used the remaining snack credits, and after we packed up and called teh bellhop, we got lunch to go with our last CS credits to eat on the road.
GRADE:
Food: A. very good!
Service: A. the people in there are always so nice!
Atmosphere: well, sititng outside lookin gat teh castle is wonderful :cloud9: inside is loud b/c of the arcade.

I know how you felt about CJ's in DTD. my DH and I went for dinner and got the lobster, it was good but everything else was bad. The mashed P. tasted burnt and instant and the veggies tasted like they were reheated from the night before. I could not even eat them. the resturant seemed dirty and not nearly as good as any other resturant we ate at. I was for me two steps below red lobster!
I cant wait to go to Narcoossee’s in Sept. I would rather spend more than go back to Jacks.

Excellent reviews!! DH and I are going on a belated Disneymoon in May (we were married 12/30/06 and moving from MI to AZ took up most of our real honeymoon), and even he was rolling :rotfl: at the pictures of your DH and the lobster claws. I loved the wedding minnie/mickey shirt and the minnie bride veil you had...very cute! Congratulations and lots of love for many years on your marriage!

Those pictures and the reviews were great as was the added visual aid of your husband. :rotfl2: Hilarious! Seems like something my dh would do. We'll find out in June! I'm glad to see you gave Coral Reef a good review. That's one of the places on our list of ADR's and I've been a little worried about eating there. :eek:
Can't wait to read your trip report too. BTW, I'm just down the road from you in Richland, MS. :hippie:

It is crazy! We live in Richland, have for 9 years now. Dh works in Ridgeland and I work off Woodrow Wilson :scared: at the big U. We're going in June with our nearly 7 year old daughter. She turns 7 the day before we hit the road and I have a couple of birthday celebrations planned for her while at WDW. This is also the year of our 15th wedding anniversary. :eek: Seems like longer sometimes. :rotfl2:

I liked it there, too. I worked in the math dept. Alot are gone now, but Dr. Floyd, Gann, Travis, Lavelle, and the McMaths and Wiggins are still there I think. It is a good school.

HeatherLynn, Just wondering - did you get personalized menus at Narcoosees? I read on here - somewhere - that Narcoosees and Citricos do personalized menues for birthdays - I wonder if they also do that for disneymooners??

hi! i have heard of honeymooners getting them, but just like all the pixie dust at Disney, it just depends on your waiter, etc. etc. we didnt get the menu, but we did get free champange. i ahve also heard of ppl getting personalized menus at Coral reef (I think) thanks for reading!

Hi everyone, just found out DH and I might have a child free evening on our trip 9/29 - 10/7. :woohoo:
We need some suggestions for dinner, it doesn't have to be in a park, just somewhere we can relax and have a great meal. We stay offsite as we own a timeshare, so we can go anywhere.
Thanks for any help you can give!

I put this post here because you seem to have a lot of experience with the dining at different restaurants, as a couple, and assumed you would be willing to help me to find someplace great to eat.
I beg your pardon, I didn't know that this was not an appropriate post to your thread. :confused: Please ignore it.

not so much that i minded it being here, but this threrad hasn't been posted on in a month, and i dont think really gets read a whole lot anymore, and I was just thinking if you wanted a lot of feedback and people to see it then maybe you should start a topic with your question. i'm always happy to help though. i will re read your question right now

if you have the $$ i would say narcoossees. best food, adn you can watch wishes from there as well. other good places others rave about as well are jiko and artist point.
for a little less $$ I would say the GF cafe has a great atmosphere and in my expereince has never been really crowded. also i love coral reef. hope this helped some
