"We're armed with forks!" 11/21-29...8 days of food & a cake too...UPD 11/9!

[NuttyDisneyMom]

Hi everyone!:wave:

I'm starting early as I'm just so excited!!!! But who isn't excited about going to the greatest place on earth??? I also have a PTR going. It has everything I've been buying for our trip. I think I should take out stock in Disney online! If you want to take a look at it too, the link is in my siggy below.

I hope you all will join me as I write my first dining review of our trip November 21-29. We have 8 days of dining to explore and cannot wait:hyper: We are on the basic DDP this trip, but will also be paying a few meals OOP. I have also ordered a custom cake, which I'll explain further in, and will be reviewing that entire experience as well. So let me get started by introducing the participants for this trip....

Me, NuttyDisneyMom:maleficen - I was born and raised an hour west of Mickey. I consider myself a WDW Native. I have been to Disney more times than I can count, at least for the first 23 years of my life when I lived in FL. I have only been back 4 times in the last 10 years, but have DH convinced we need to go down 2 times a year now. That was easy...he loves the FOOD! I love food, all kinds of food, especially new foods I haven't tried before. The only thing I will not eat and cannot stand are NUTS, any kind of nuts. They absoutely make me gag, even talking about them:sick: It's my weird food fear, I guess:laughing: I must say, we have not been to many WDW restaurants the last 4 times, because each time someone gets sick and we have to cancel our ressies. This time tho...IT'S NOT HAPPENING! I've been beefing up the kids with vitamins already:lmao:

DM, aka Nana :moped:- The woman who raised me to love WDW:lovestruc She has only been to DHS and MK. So this trip is going to be so new and exciting for her. She hasn't been since 2007. She has a bad hip and will be scootin' around the World this trip. We found a GREAT scooter place, thank goodness, and she's really rarin' to go! I'm tellin' ya...if you're there when we are...watch your toes if you see her! She'll have the BIG lime green Mickey head on the back of her scooter too...you won't be able to miss her. She is also diabetic, and a cheating one at that!!! But I've got her number and have told all the restaurants this in advance so that the chef(s) will speak to her prior to her ordering her meals. She really is trying to be better about it since she's started to have kidney problems:guilty: She love ALL food, like mother like daughter:cutie:, except for cantaloupe!!! That's her food fear.

DS18, aka Charming :hmghost: - My baby boy who freely admits he's a mama's boy. I adore my son, (I adore all my angels, but he's my only son...you mom's know how that goes) he is the best son I could ever have asked for!:love: He's a huge help when Dad is away for months and months on business trips. So he deserves to go to WDW and pick some of the places we eat at. The boy eats anything and everything, and he does this ALL the time. He is 6'2" and only 140 pounds! I pray every night for just a drop of his metabolsim:rotfl: His favorite foods are steak, BBQ, CHOCOLATE, salmon, DESSERT, peanut butter, and Italian food (I'm half Italian and cook it from scratch often, so you'd expect nothing less right?:laughing:). The only thing he's not crazy about is shellfish. He is in his senior year of high school and can't wait to flirt with the princesses at WDW. Hence the aka of Charming!:rotfl2:

DS14, aka Alice :simba: - Oh, my middle child who is definitely in the full-blown teeange girl years. I love her to pieces, but I must say...she is the child your mother always warns you about when you were a teenager saying "You'll have one just like you! Just wait and see!". Well, I did:lmao: She's the most kind hearted child on the face of the earth, but boy can she push some buttons. Don't all teenage girls do this tho???:rolleyes1 She adores WDW and everything about it! Loves food and is adventurous in what she is willing to try. (Get's if from her momma) Favorite foods are, desserts and I mean ALL desserts, pastas, breads, cheeses, chicken, and breakfast! The only thing she won't eat is...well...nothing! We are celebrating her 15th birthday while we're in WDW this trip. She is a Christmas baby and we really don't ever get to celebrate in a big way for her birthday, so this is it for her this time. The best part, SHE HAS NO IDEA I'm doing it! I have ordered her a custom cake that I'll tell you all about, as well as a few other surprises! I told you I adore my kiddos!

DD7, aka Stitch - My baby, my little girl on the outside, little boy on the inside. Eminates Stitch in every way! Right down to the hat and claws she got on our last trip in April that she still wears EVERYWHERE!!! Even in the car on the way to school so that people will see the antennae on the hat and think Stitch is in the car:rotfl2: She's very tiny for her age, more like an average 4 year old, but is very healthy. She is a very picky, non-adventurous eater. I do know though, that she will be happy with her choices at the meals Her favorite foods are ham, celery with peanut butter, well peanut butter in general, cheese pizza, chicken of any kind, steak, green beans, corn, chocoalte, raw baby carrots, pocorn, and ice cream. She RARELY tries new foods, so I'm not hopeful she'll be trying anything new this trip.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ok, that is the cast for this trip. I should mention that DH is away for the next 11 months and 3 weeks in Afghanistan on business. He is an electronics contractor for a HUGE nationally know government contracpr with a HQ here in VA. He will be home for 2 weeks in April, and then home for good in October of 2010. The longest he's ever been away was 9 months and that was 2 years ago. I tell him he retired from the Navy to deploy:lmao:(Which he did retire July of this year). So I've got us 2 WDW trips planned so that we have other things to think about besides him being gone:thumbsup2 When he gets home in October, we are doing Xmas at the world for 2 whole weeks with the kiddos and we all can't wait. We're going to do Deluxe dining on that trip:woohoo: And he is taking me on DCL Alaskan cruise for our 10th Anniversary in 2010....I can't wait....:cloud9:

Next post...ADR's a plenty!

[KatMark]

I'm here...this is going to be a good one. Your family sounds wonderful.

[NuttyDisneyMom]

I'm here...this is going to be a good one. Your family sounds wonderful.

:yay:My first reader!!!!:welcome:

I've read your wonderful dining reports Kat, and so glad you're in for mine:hug: Thanks for the kind words about my family too!

[NuttyDisneyMom]

Here they are...I have changed them 5 times already...no joke! If you pop over to my PTR in my siggy, you'll see all the blood, sweat, and tears that have gone into these things.:lmao: I went back and forth with Chef Mickey's, which I eventually canned due to all the negative feedback and was about the time Alice decided she wanted to go the The Wave, so I replaced it with that. Then Stitch decides she wants to eat with the stepsisters and Prince Charming just last week:scared1: Looked online religiously and couldn't find a thing, so I took a chance and called...and....I got it at 6:05pm on a Saturday night:faint: Even the CM was surpised! I told him it's the first time I've had some pixie dust returned to me in all my years of pixie dusting others;) I hemmed and hawed about going to the Wave, Charming wanted to eat at O'Hana twice (but I gave hime a choice to make, which I'll note below in the list), Nana wanted at least one good seafood dinner and one good steak dinner, Alice really just wanted the Wave after reading the menu on allears, and me...I just wanted to eat:lmao: The only things I was adamant about booking were our girls only GF Tea and our family dinner at O'Hana which Nana has never been to. And now...the list...

Day 1/Arrival Day
B - On the road
L - WPE if no park, Plaza if we venture into MK (will depend on how pooped we are)
D - The Wave @ 7:10pm (Alice will be receiving her custom cake at this meal, since this is the place she really wants to eat at)

Day 2
B- In room or snacks from the resort
L - CS @ Epcot; definitely Tangeirine for me:woohoo:
D - O'Hana @ 9:30pm - family pick (we do this time purposefully so that we can watch the EWP at 9 on the beach and then request a window seat for Wishes during our meal. The is just the best!)

Day 3
B- CS @ SSR Goods to Go
L - Sci Fi @ 3:05pm - all the kids want to go here!
D - 50's Prime Time @ 9:50pm - Nana and I went with Stitch when she was 4 and we want the teens to experience it too(this is an EMH night and they are open during EMH, but I had to call to get this after hours ressie and it was no problem:thumbsup2)

Day 4
B - CS @ Main St Bakery:lovestruc
L - Gardenview Tea Room @ 2pm for the girls:woohoo: Alice will be receiving her White Chocolate Glass Slipper dessert I ordered at the Tea. It'll be 11/24 and since her bday is really 12/24, I thought I'd mark it with another something special for her. She will also have her birthday present delivered to her at the resort and waiting for her when we get back from dinner! It's the D&B Disney inspired tassell bag!!!! I got the large one already and she's in love with it, so that's what I got her, just the smaller one:thumbsup2 Charming will hit the arcade or the pool and grab a CS meal, since he'd rather be caught dead than at a "girly" tea.:lmao: I know, I know...his loss!
D - Kona Cafe @ 7:30pm - my pick

Day 5
B- WPE
L - Planet Hollywood @ 11:30am with our 2 $15 vouchers! All the kids love it here and wanted to return. Charming would've had to have given this up for his second O'Hana, but he wouldn't. He LOVES the LA Lasagna and I can't say I blame him...it's :cloud9: (We'll have 2 vouchers since we have a split stay)
D - Grand Floridian Cafe - my pick for a nice meal with lots of variety

Day 6 (Turkey Day!)
B - Tusker House @ 8am:woohoo: - Stitch's pick...she loves Donald:lovestruc
L- CS @ the Mara at AKL (gets such good reviews so have to try it!)
D - WCC or Boma - I have ADR's for both and cannot decide what we would all enjoy more:confused3. Any opinions are welcomed!!!

Day 7
B - Kona Cafe @ 10am - Nana LOVES breakfast and LOVES pineapple, so this was an obvious must do so she can have pineapple macadamia pancakes! And I MUST HAVE TONGA TOAST this trip!!!
L - CS @ Epcot @ Sunshine Seasons
D - Cape May Clambake @ 8pm - Nana is going to get her seafood fix!!!:lmao: Especially since they now have the crabs legs:woohoo:

Day 8
B - Crystal Palace @ 8:10am - my pick for Stitch. My nickname for her has been Piglet since she was born. She's so tiny and pink (she didn't get ANY of the Italian, but got all the Irish!!!) and want some pics with her and Piglet. Plus...PUFFED FRENCH TOAST and BREAKFAST LASAGNA...hello...was there any doubt my kids would want to eat here???:lmao:
L - CS @ MK - again either CHH or Pecos Bills
D - 1900 Park Fare @ 6:05pm:woohoo: - Stitch's pick

Day 9
B - O'Hana @ 7:45am - Stitch's pick and our last hurrah as we're driving home right after:sad1:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Up next...our snack must do's....YUM!!!

[GoofySon'sMom]

Sounds like a great line up!

I would choose Boma over WCC. WCC is the one absolute never do again for us even though many here on the Dis love it. We found the meat in the skillet to be fatty. Our service was awful. It was a definitely miss for us. (We did enjoy breakfast there though)

Hi and welcome! Glad to have you aboard!

I appreciate the Boma input! I'm leaning more and more towards it everyday:thumbsup2

I'm with GoofySon'sMom -- Boma over WCC any day. We had the same experience -- bad food (Mark got sick on the meat) and horrible service (there for two hours -- just the two of us -- and we never ordered dessert).

The rest of the line up sounds pretty darn good to me.

[MickeyNicki]

Count me in!

[dizneeat]

Okay, this sounds like a lot of fun - count me in!!! :goodvibes

You have a wonderful family and your restaurant lineup looks really good! I am so looking forward to your GF Tea review - I so want to do that one day! :thumbsup2

Oh, not good about getting sick at WCC:sick: I'm so sorry! We are definitely leaning more towards Boma at this point. I'm going to go over the menus with Nana and see what her take is on them and where she prefers. I'll let her read some of the Boma reviews too:thumbsup2

Count me in!

Hi Nicky!:wave: I'm so glad you're on board! I LOVE your reviews and am still trying to read all of the older ones:goodvibes

[IckyMickey]

Sounds like a fun family vacation! We will be there Nov 18th - 28th and I am sooooo excited!

We are having dinner at the Kona the same night as you, but at 6:30. We're also at Sci-Fi for lunch the same day but at 12:00! We are doing Chef Mickey's and after all the reviews I'm not going in with high expectations but the kid's are looking forward to it.

I would pick WCC over Boma. We just aren't Boma people. We've tried it twice and just can't get into it. I will definitely miss the hummus! We did really enjoy WCC (but aren't returning this year.) Both DH and my step-dad got sick after eating at Boma for Thanksgiving last year. Not sure what it was - the food, the beer, or the virus that was moving around WDW. We're doing Teppan Edo for Thanksgiving this year - not very midwestern but fun!

You are very good to commit to a pre-dining report! We went last year and I had a ton of pictures and notes of 6 people's food but it was chaos returning and getting ready for Christmas right away. Time kept passing and passing I am really bummed I never got to it. Hopefully this year!

If you've been following KatMark's dining review then you know know changing ADR's five times is nothing! :rolleyes1

Hi and welcome!!! So glad you're joining in:hug:

The whole Boma vs. WCC is driving me NUTS:dance3: Hopefully Nana and her wisdom will make the right choice. I'm putting it in her hands now.

I love doing all kinds of blog type things, especially when my DH is deployed somewhere. It seems to make the time go by quicker:confused3 I'll be the crazy lady armed with my camera and notebook in the restaurants:rotfl: We'll also have LGMH's on our stuff we're carrying...so you can't miss me! Say hi if you see me!!!

[NuttyDisneyMom]

So...I am going to take the leap into the WDW custom cake waters for the first time.:rolleyes1 Alice's birthday is Christmas Eve. We've always celebrated it that day with cake and presents at home, then I'd have the big party for her and her friends in February so the parents would have time to recooperate from the holidays. Well, since she's become a teenager, she feels she gets shafted by the hub bub of Christmastime mixing with "her birthday":sad2: Ah...teenage girls and their drama, wait that's DRAMA!:laughing: So since we'll be in WDW the entire week, including 11/24, I've decided to celebrate her birthday Disney style with many surprises for her throughout the week:thumbsup2 The first of being, this custom cake:wizard: Alice is a HUGE Jack Skellington nut and that is what this cake will be based on. Thanks to the DIS and the cake gallery thread:grouphug:, I've gotten some awesome ideas and have jumbled them together to come up with, what I think, is the perfect birthday cake;)

Here is the email I sent to the CR Bakery this past Sunday...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hello!

I would like to order a custom Jack Skellington/Nightmare Before Christmas cake for my daughter’s birthday. I would like it for 11/21 @ our dinner at the Wave at 7pm. I would like for it to look similar to the picture attached, just replace the haunted mansion wallpaper with something indicative of The Nightmare Before Christmas and replace the gold picture frame on top with Jack Skellington as the focal piece/topper as the one in the attached Jack cake photo(disneyaugust2009225.jpg). Please use black and purple as the main colors and include miniatures of the dog Zero, Lock, Shock, and Barrel, and Oogie Boogie on the top and sides of the cake as well, in place of the skulls around the border in the photos. A few pumpkins would be nice as well. PLEASE NO CHOCOLATE RIBBON on the cake. I would like a small graveyard in area of the ribbon in the picture (it does NOT have to be 3D, it can be flat to the cake).

I would like an 8” inch marble cake frosted with vanilla butter cream tinted to match the theme of the cake. I would like the strawberry and custard filling. I would like “Happy 15th Birthday Alexandra” written on the serving circle in Black icing. Please use a SILVER cake circle to put the cake on.

Please contact me via email or at xxx-xxx-xxxx with pricing, confirmation, and any questions.

Thank you for your time!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Not 10 minutes later, here is the response I get...and from Brian, who is supposed to be the CR Bakey guru:woohoo:...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
We would be happy to make you a cake with all of your request. The cost of the cake would be $100, Please contact contemporary Private Dining at 407-824-2955 to place your cake order. Have a Magical Day!

Thank You,
Brian Kruger
Cake Decorator

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

I emailed Brian back and told him I had no voice, due to being sick, and that I would definitely call him this week to go over everything. He emailed me back with a "No problem:)"

So this concludes Part 1 of the Saga. Tune in next time for Part 2 - The first verbal contact....:eek:

[disney_princess_85]

Sounds like you have a great trip planned! It seems the communication with the cake people is going well so far, I hope they manage to make it exactly how you want it.

Looking forward to the reviews! :)

Hi just wanted to say enjoying your report. My son's birthday is Dec 30, and I was worried about his birthday being lost in the Christmas mix. A friend of mine who's son was born Dec 23 gave me a really cute idea that has worked for us. Each year we get a small tree just for him, and decorate it with birthday streamers, party favors, and a party hat topper, and put his b-day presents and nothing else under it. This way he feels like he isn't being over looked and the other kids actually wish that they could have their own b-day tree. Anyway thought it was a great idea to pass along.

(oddly we are getting a cake at CR too, for 2nd birthday. I have very high hopes, but no expectations, it will just BE.)

[Smiling Cheshire Cat]

You and I are kinderd spirits down to even planning what snacks we are going to indulge in it. I love it! I hope you have a wonderful trip and looking forward to hearing all about it.

So far so good, yes! I am calling the bakery tomorrow since my voice is at least understandable now. I will post the update after I speak with them.

That IS a great idea!:lovestruc I may just surprise her with one of those this year at Xmas time;)

Welcome and thank you! When you love food like my family does and you put as much research into the food you're going to eat at WDW as you do when you buy a house....that's BIG business!:lmao:

[Euphoria027]

Your family is beautiful! I can't wait for this report!

[NuttyDisneyMom]

Well, with my voice almost back to normal today, I made the call to the CR Bakery. I explained to the woman that answered the phone about my email communication with Brian and how he told me to call and place the order. She asked me my name, and sure enough she found my email that Brian had printed out!:woohoo: I ended up ordering the cake chocolate as they only do marble in 10" cakes. She took down my ADR number for the wave along with my CC number. We went over the cake and the specifics 3 times and I was assured that Brian would create a masterpiece for my daughter! So painless and simple! I cannot wait to see what this cake is going to look like!!!!:yay: I asked her if I should call back a few days prior and she said that was no problem.

So far so good on the cake saga....:thumbsup2

[thejman]

Looking forward to your reviews!

[Ciciwoowoo]

Your trip sounds fun! We are going November 21-30 so I may be there! I say may, as I it is still up to the OB whether or not my lil pumpkin boy inside of me is going to let me go! ;)

Our family is doing WCC for Thanksgiving. We have heard its very good and we are traditional turkey, stuffing, pumpkin pie people, so it sounded like a good fit for us!

I can do a countdown with you...we have less than a month!!! :yay:

Slippers...You can only get them through the GF Bakery or thru CRT. You just call them up and place the order.

Cakes...you call the WDW cake line and they will direct you where you need to go. Check out the "OFFICIAL CAKE CHATTER THREAD" on the restaurant boards for LOTS of great tips!

Looking forward to your reviews!

Thanks for joining in!

:woohoo:another fellow November DISer! Seems to be an awful lot of us going! We may just have to do a mini DIS meet!:laughing: Hopefully you're little man will let you go;):goodvibes

My mom wants to stick with WCC for Thanksgiving, so that is where we will be too...at 8:55pm for dinner:eek: We're night owls tho, so we'll make it!

And....we're under 30 days!!!!:cheer2:

[NuttyDisneyMom]

Stitch is allergic to shellfish!:scared1: Went to a restaurant over the weekend and had her try a spec, I mean SPECK, of crab from the claw and she immediately started complaining of her lip hurting. Then it started swelling, then she got hives on her chin, above her lip, forehead, neck, and back:scared1: THANK GOODNESS there was a Walgreens next door I could run to! I ran over and grabbed some Benadryl and gave her a dose of it. Within 10 minutes, everything was subsiding. She never complained of her throat hurting or started coughing, and being a nurse, I knew this was good!;) I called her doctor first thing in the AM and explained what had happened and am now the proud owner of 2 Epi Pens. All I know is that if a speck of crab did this, I would HATE to see what a bite would've done!!! Thank goodness she is finicky and would only try the speck!!!!

So...I had to rearrange our Cape May Clambake, obviously. I have replaced it with Chefs de France:woohoo: So lucky to have snagged this so late in the game:thumbsup2 I've wanted to go and I think we'll enjoy it. I like that they have the Prix Fixe menu so we can all have an app, entree, and dessert;)

Only 23 more days until pure gluttony begins!:dance3: I feel my waistline expanding already....or is that my butt....oh wait, it's my thighs....oh crap....I'm just screwed:lmao::rotfl2::rotfl:

[woodleygrrl]

I too have a shellfish allergy. here is another helpful hint: even non-shellfish seafood could be trouble. Always ask if it has been cooked in shellfish stock first before orderng. You would be surprised how often my mahi mahi has been soaking up all the shellfish goodness before being served.

[KatMark]

Our youngest son was/is allergic to fish (and wouldn't you know it...it is one food he REALLY likes). I don't know if you can outgrow an allergy and he has not tried fish since he was about 12 years old.

[Lynn5700]

Hey! I'm on board. You're going to eat at some great places. The Wave is awesome, I'm sure you will love it!

Yay for only 23 more days!

[Microcell]

Funny writing and about food? Count me in!!!:cool1:

[The Illuminettes]

That stinks about the food allergy discovery! :(

My allergies are with spices (cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, clove), so I know how it is to tread lightly with certain dishes. I've always found the restaurants in Disney to be great as far as answering any questions you may have.

My best advice is it never hurts to ask when you're unsure about a dish. Good luck!

Thanks for the tip! I would not have thought of that:eek: And as severe as her allergy seems to be, that would definitely be something to check out. Thanks again!

Docs say you can outgrow an allergy, just as you can grow into one. I don't know if I'd ever want to find out tho!:eek: Once I get her set up with an allergist, they'll run her blood for food allergies on a regular basis. Maybe someday they'll come back with good news. Bad part for my little Stitch is that she likes shrimp, but can live without it!

Hey! I'm on board. You're going to eat at some great places. The Wave is awesome, I'm sure you will love it!

Alice picked out the Wave, and this is where she'll get her birthday cake too. It always looks fabulous in the reviews I've read too. Alice took one look at the menu and was hooked (insert drooling smilie here).

I did send an email to special requests. They sent me a form to fill out and email back to them. They will alert the managers and chefs at all the places we have our ADR's (which I had to put them all on the paperwork). It's nice too that I was able to note Nana as a diabetic too:thumbsup2 They also sent restaurant info and a few other files to read about how they handle food allergies in their restaurants. I think it's great Disney takes such precautions to ensure no accidents happen and that your vacation doesn't revolve around the allergy since they are prepared and know you're coming;)

[jasperess]

Sounds like a wonderful trip! Can't wait to see how it goes :)

Also, you definitely can outgrow a food allergy, as I have done it, but I was never as allergic as your daughter appears to be. I was first diagnosed with an egg allergy when I was 10 (although I had had it for longer - just didn't realize having a stuffed nose/throat a lot of the time was due to this) and around the age of 20 I realized that eating a little bit of egg didn't bother me anymore. Tried a bit of an actual egg, no reaction, and now I can totally eat them again no problem :) So there's hope, but you definitely want to do without it until she's a lot older!

[belle8306]

I'm enjoying your report. I can't wait to see the cake! I'm looking forward to reading more!:thumbsup2

[NuttyDisneyMom]

So I've made a few ADR changes, which are noted in red below. I would also LOVE any opinions on the ADR's that you would change.:confused3 I've also noted my OOP meals. If there are any you'd ditch, let me know;) I'm having second thoughts about doing 50's, GFC, and Chefs (I put these in blue since I'm hem hawin' about them). I would like to do a LTT lunch one day instead, but am clueless as to the other two. I'm still holding out hope against hope for a....don't laught at me too hard now...Le Cellier dinner one night since Nana has never been. And...green items cannot be changed due to kids choices. So here is where I'm at as of this minute:

Day 1/Arrival Day
B - On the road
L - WPE @ DTD
D - The Wave @ 7:10pm (Alice will be receiving her custom cake at this meal, since this is the place she really wants to eat at)

Day 2
B- In room or snacks from the resort
L - CS @ Epcot; definitely Tangeirine for me
D - O'Hana @ 9:30pm - family pick (we do this time purposefully so that we can watch the EWP at 9 on the beach and then request a window seat for Wishes during our meal. The is just the best!)

Day 3
B - CS @ SSR Goods to Go
L - Sci Fi @ 3:05pm - all the kids want to go here! OOP
D - 50's Prime Time @ 9:50pm I'm scared to death of CS at DHS:scared1: We could absolutely eat in the room or use snack credits for BF, but what about dinner??? Should we hit the BW??? If so, where???

Day 4
B - CS @ Main St Bakery
L - Gardenview Tea Room @ 2pm for the girls Alice will be receiving her White Chocolate Glass Slipper dessert I ordered at the Tea. OOP
D - Kona Cafe @ 7:30pm - my pick

Day 5
B- WPE
L - Planet Hollywood @ 11:30am with our 2 $15 vouchers! Rest is OOP
D - Grand Floridian Cafe - my pick for a nice meal with lots of variety, but now I'm not so sure and I don't know why?

Day 6 (Turkey Day!)
B - Tusker House @ 8am - Stitch's pick...she loves Donald OOP
L- CS @ I DON'T KNOW WHERE! HELP! I had orginally put Mara here, but they serve fried shrimp. This means they use the same oil to fry their shrimp as they do their chicken strips, fries, etc. And that's a BIG no no for Stitch now:sad2: We actually could just skip it lunch today since we have the big buffet for BF and the AYCE Turkey Dinner at night.
D - WCC @ 8:55pm - my DBFF swears by WCC and her and her family just LOVE it. Her and I have really similar palettes so I think this is a good choice. It's also what Nana picked too.

Day 7
B - Kona Cafe @ 10am - I MUST HAVE TONGA TOAST this trip!!! OOP
L - CS @ Epcot @ Sunshine Seasons
D - Chefs de France @ 8:50pm - chose this cuz of the Prixe Fixe menu so we could all have appitizer, entree, and desert. But now I'm second guessing! Thoughts???

Day 8
B - Crystal Palace @ 8:10am - my pick for Stitch. OOP
L - CS @ MK - either CHH or Pecos Bills...this is where I'm thinking of putting LTT and ditching CP...THOUGHTS???
D - 1900 Park Fare @ 6:05pm - Stitch's pick

Day 9
B - O'Hana @ 7:45am - Stitch's pick OOP
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now I just need your help and opinions. Pretty please????:angel: I have 6 OOP meals on top of our DDP and I feel that's just WAY too many and I'm not really getting any savings. Ugh....my brain hurts....:worried:

[KatMark]

We've never done Chefs, but I understand the lunch is MUCH BETTER than dinner.

As for Whispering Canyon Cafe, sorry--you will get one big YUK from me and also from MickeyNicki (she didn't listen to me when I told her not to go because her DH, Todd, REALLY wanted to go. Over greasy, fatty disgusting food (my DH got sick on the ribs/chicken and we know it was that because it was the only things in the skillet I didn't try). The service was absolutely awful--it was just the two of us and we were there for two hours and never even bothered to order dessert. It's one place we will never go to again.

Thanks for the Chefs tip Kat:hug: I think/hope we'll be ok at WCC since they are serving Thanksgiving fare. If it was for the ribs skillet, I definitely would skip it! We're big on Turkey Day dinner and this menu did look best. Plus, my DBFF said that the antics for the kids are just great! Here's hoping!:rolleyes1

[GoofySon'sMom]

Another WCC "yuk" from me but we had the skillet and nothing else. Hopefully their Thanksgiving meal will be much better for you.

I really enjoyed lunch at LTT but I don't think I would ditch a CP breakfast for it.

I changed our Chefs dinner to lunch for our upcoming trip based on the recent bad dinner reviews. We loved our lunch there last year. Haven't had dinner there in a few years but we did enjoy our meal back then. I think if I were you I would give it a try But of course keep trying for Le Cellier! You never know what could happen!

[MickeyNicki]

Ok here is my 2 cents :lmao:

L - WPE @ DTD Awesome choice!
D - The Wave @ 7:10pm (Alice will be receiving her custom cake at this meal, since this is the place she really wants to eat at) We have been here twice and the food is fantastic! You will love it!

D - O'Hana @ 9:30pm - family pick (we do this time purposefully so that we can watch the EWP at 9 on the beach and then request a window seat for Wishes during our meal. The is just the best!) I really enjoyed this meal

L - Sci Fi @ 3:05pm - all the kids want to go here! OOP Another excellent choice!
D - 50's Prime Time @ 9:50pm I'm scared to death of CS at DHS We could absolutely eat in the room or use snack credits for BF, but what about dinner??? Should we hit the BW??? If so, where??? This is a great place to dine, it is super fun and the fried chicken is incredible!

L - Gardenview Tea Room @ 2pm for the girls Alice will be receiving her White Chocolate Glass Slipper dessert I ordered at the Tea. OOP The best experience ever
D - Kona Cafe @ 7:30pm - my pick Not really thrilled with this place but DH loved it

B- WPE Never been but I have heard it is awesome
L - Planet Hollywood @ 11:30am with our 2 $15 vouchers! Rest is OOP Been there a few times, dont really care for it.
D - Grand Floridian Cafe - my pick for a nice meal with lots of variety, but now I'm not so sure and I don't know why? We love this place! Great food!

Day 6 (Turkey Day!)
B - Tusker House @ 8am - Stitch's pick...she loves Donald OOP Havent been yet but I have heard the food is very good
L- CS @ I DON'T KNOW WHERE! HELP! I had orginally put Mara here, but they serve fried shrimp. This means they use the same oil to fry their shrimp as they do their chicken strips, fries, etc. And that's a BIG no no for Stitch now We actually could just skip it lunch today since we have the big buffet for BF and the AYCE Turkey Dinner at night. I would go to DTD for shopping at eat at WPE again
D - WCC @ 8:55pm - my DBFF swears by WCC and her and her family just LOVE it. Her and I have really similar palettes so I think this is a good choice. It's also what Nana picked too. No way would I eat here again, we ate here in Aug and the food was super greasy and fatty and ick and the server was a dud, no fun and games going on at lunch either

B - Kona Cafe @ 10am - I MUST HAVE TONGA TOAST this trip!!! OOP The best!
L - CS @ Epcot @ Sunshine Seasons Love the veggie cuban!
D - Chefs de France @ 8:50pm - chose this cuz of the Prixe Fixe menu so we could all have appitizer, entree, and desert. But now I'm second guessing! Thoughts??? Sorry but after our terrible meal here last month I would not go back to Chefs again...lunch yes but not dinner

B - Crystal Palace @ 8:10am - my pick for Stitch. OOP Our favorite!
L - CS @ MK - either CHH or Pecos Bills...this is where I'm thinking of putting LTT and ditching CP...THOUGHTS??? I would rather do CP for breakfast and CS at CHH for lunch
D - 1900 Park Fare @ 6:05pm - Stitch's pick Another place that you will never see us set foot in again, the food was just terrible

B - O'Hana @ 7:45am - Stitch's pick OOP Great way to end your vacation and you can get pressed pot coffee here

[Lynn5700]

Okay here is my advice.

50s PTC cafe was good. I thought the food was good. It's a great place to go for people who have kids. If you want to head over to the BW area, I would try Captain's Grille. We have not been there, but we are going to try lunch there during our next trip. I hear great things about it.

We didn't care for GFC, I would go to Kona Cafe for dinner instead. I know you are going there for breakfast as well, but Kona dinner is sooo good!

For your CS meal are you going to be at The Animal Kingdom? If you are I would go to Flame tree BBQ.

I have not been to WCC for dinner. Trying lunch there next trip, but I hear great things about WCC.

KEEP CHEFS!!!!!! It's so good!!!!!!! We love it there.

Kepp CP for breakfast, it's really good!

I like Cosmic Rays, CHH, and Pecos Bills..cosmic rays is my fav though! You get a varitety of things to choose from.

Besides, with all you care to drink milkshakes... you won't leave empty. :lmao::lmao:
