Help!!!

[Terk-1]

Ok. I'm trying to put together my dining for my upcoming trip and need some help. Below is where I was thinking of dining, but need opinions. I'm a basic meat & potatoes type of gal and can get pretty picky. The meals are all lunch or dinner.

I also can't decide if I want to do the Candlelight Processional again (went last year). I want to do a dinner one night at the Polynesian, then go out to the beach to watch MVMCP fireworks. I'm thinking that it may be good to avoid the MK area the nights of the party due to heavy .

Can anyone help me here?

Sounds like you have a lot of nice places planned. I have been to Rose and Crown, Le Cellier, Cape May Buffet, Prime Time, Plaza, Park Fare, Crystal Palace and Concourse and they were all good and satisfied the members of our party no matter their tastes. Even the picky ones, LOL. Have fun!

Hiya -

Can't see any problems with your restaurant selections, as stated in previous posts they cater to all manner of food tastes.

The only one that raises a red flag to me is Spoodles. You will not find meat and potatoes here. You will find meat, but sides like cous cous, polenta and risotto with interesting sauces (of course you can always have those left off). Also I think most picky eaters tend to not care for boma quite as much, though I do love their potatoes with afritude and they have prime rib for dinner. If you're not opposed to interesting spices, you will enjoy it.

Also, 2 sit downs a day is a LOT (esp when one is lunch and one is dinner). You might find quickly that it's just too much food. As much as I really want to try every restaurant in the world when I get there I quickly find that my stomach just can't handle it! It's good to have an ambitions plan but you might want to prioritize in case you run out of steam toward the end of your trip.

What do you think? Any pros or cons with these restaurants? How is Shutters & the foodcourt at the Caribbean Beach Resort? Is the GF Cafe good? :jester: :smooth:

Geez thats a lot of eating! LOL I hope you are just going to try appetizers at all of these restaurants. Especially when you have days with 2 restaurants planned. I stayed at Caribbean Beach last week. Food in Sit donw restaurant was good. Although my friend and I just spilt appetizers, but I hear the Prime Rib is excellent.

I personally Love the Sci Fi and make it a point to eat there at least once a trip.

The food court at CBR is pretty standard ... pizza, hamburger, chicken fingers etc. They've also got a selection of salads and sandwiches. It's not bad place for lunch :p

You can check out their menu here...

:earseek: That's a LOT of food and PS's! The 2 days we had big character breakfasts we skipped lunch and then ate a counter service dinner. We did not even do one sit down meal a day and still had plenty. But I think we are the odd ones. Doing the parks makes us thirsty and not so hungry. Counter service is fine for us. We always want to try lots of these places, but don't have the stomach to hold it all :p ! Even our kids are not all that hungry at WDW.

You've picked a lot of great places! There are lots of sit down restaurants that we choose to do at lunch instead of dinner since the menu is pretty much the same but less $$ but (just MY opinion) Le Cellier is one that as a meat and potatoes lover myself, I prefer their dinner menu to the lunch menu. I would definitely pick the Plaza Restaurant over Tony's. We had lunch in the castle last summer and the service was excellent. DH and I were disappointed in our prime rib however :( And I rarely meet a prime rib I don't like ;) I tried ds's Major Domo's Pie and it was much better. It has prime rib but is in a gravy that makes it much more flavorful. Just a suggestion. Enjoy!
