We're doing the Grand Floridian Cafe. Our rehearsal won't be in the WP as it's booked the entire day before our wedding, so we wanted to make sure that the wedding party was at the GF and could see where everything was before hand. Plus, it's a really nice setting but still casual, and the prices are reasonable. We opted not to do a character meal just based on the feel we wanted for our dinner.
Congratulations we are hoping for october 2008 as well, what date are you after and what places?
A lot of us, including myself, have had or will have the rehearsal dinner at 'Ohana at the Polynesian Resort. Have you ever been there? The food is all-you-can-eat, served family style. It's delicious! 'Ohana means family so it's a great place for an RD. It is also very affordable, IMHO. Also, if you plan i right, you can see Wishes from the MK during your dinner. The only negative about having your RD at 'Ohana is that your group does not get a private room, you are seated in the restauarant with everyone else. They try to seat you as together as possible.
Good luck, I'm sure there will be a lot more good suggestions
Congratulations on your engagement.. We are thinking of doing O'hanas for our rehearsal dinner. Amazing food and great atmosphere.. Good Luck in your planning
