    VB 2013 Information & Adoration Thread ---CLOSED---

    We are trying Vero for the first time, arriving just before Christmas. To make dining reservations, just call 772-234-2180. You have to call when someone is there, however, or it will ring to member services and they can't help you. I've found most success calling around 11 am. Because we...

    Hollywood Brown Derby is off our list...

    We have eaten at the Brown Derby for holiday meals for the past several years, and have enjoyed them. This year I made reservations for Christmas Eve rather than Christmas day, not realizing that the holiday dinner (turkey with stuffing, etc.) is only available on Christmas Day. Our dinner...

    Teppen Edo

    We ate here a part of our 2010 CP package, so it was a year ago. We did not enjoy it for the most part, but we have a great hibachi grill near our home. There was no fried rice (which my youngest loves) and the steak we had was underdone - should have asked to have it cooked more but I hate...

    Chef deFrance - EPCOT - the good ? the bad ?

    We ate here for the first time on Christmas Day last week, part of the CP package. We had a lunch seating, sat out in the "fishbowl" atrium where everyone passing by stopped to stare at the food on the tables. We were on the wall so it wasn't so bad, but I felt for those right next to the...

    Didn't know this and we've been members for a while, although we've only attended CP once before. Good to know!

    Candlelight Processional List! Updated through 8/15/11

    12/25 for Chefs lunch, 5 pm show. I really wanted LeCelier, I was on hold at 7:02, got a CM at 7:15, and she said she wasn't able to find any LeCelier for 12/25. It kinda bugged me that I got through so quickly and didn't get my 1st choice, so I called back around 10 and the CM told me 12/25...

    Who's getting ready to make CP package ressies?

    I started dialing at 6:55, just kept dialing. Got on hold at 7:02. Agent at 7:17. LeCelier no availability on 12/25. Got Chefs on 12/25 for lunch. Dinner seating was available but with 5 adults we decided on lunch because it's a bit cheaper. Good luck everyone!

    Candelight Phone Dialing Question - HELP!

    Thanks a bunch - I just tried calling to "practice" and got the "we're closed" message. Last year I had to work the morning CP went on sale. I got home around 1 pm. We were undecided on whether we should spend the $ on a package (family of 5, 4 adults, 1 kid, that's some coin). I told my...

    For those who did the CP-dinner package how did you like the reserved area for F/W?

    It was freezing cold last year, but it was our first time seeing CP and we wanted to try this viewing area. I think because it was so cold, there was plenty of room for everyone (we went on Christmas Eve, too!). The area is a direct view of the show and it is very good. There is a slope, so you...

    Candelight Phone Dialing Question - HELP!

    I've been making my reservations online and have forgotten the "best" way to get through the phone system. Does anyone know what sequence of numbers to push without having to listen to the voice menu system and respond verbally? I've got the phone number ready, and I think you press "1"...

    Nap/Swim time in middle of Day?

    ....and you'll be able to decide whether a break is for you or not. We enjoy our afternoons at the resort - I suggest you try it one day early in your stay. Just be relaxed about it, don't time it, enjoy a rest. You'll probably find you have more stamina to do things in the evening that you...

    Candelight - unsure of party size?

    We will know by that week if she'll be joining us. Will I be able to call a few days ahead of time and reduce the reservation by 1 if needed? I didn't know if I'd be able to do that or not.

    Candelight - unsure of party size?

    Just a quick question - we are planning our Christmas trip and I'm planning to call next week to try to get CP. I'd like 12/25 but have backup dates to try as well. My problem is that I'm unsure of how many of us there will be - we are a family of 5 but one of my sons may have a special guest...

    Candlelight Processional Strategy?

    So we know that CP packages will be released in July. Will there be advance notice so we know what day to call? I'm sure they'll be posts here about it, but will Disney announce this in advance? Does anyone who has scored a LeCelier CP Package in the past want to divulge your strategy? Best...

    What restaurants do you regret eating at?

    We tried Teppan Edo last year for the first time and didn't care for it. Overpriced, my steak was almost raw (I should have asked the "chef" to cook it more) and hardly seasoned. The ginger cake was rather gross. Won't go back. We'd like to try LeCelier again, the last time we were there we...

    California Grill experts I need your advice!

    We eat at CG every trip. I've had the filet many times (it's always on the menu) and it is delicious. My husband won't have anything else. He also loves the pumpkin soup. I tried the pork tenderloin last Christmas and I have to say it was one of the best meals I've ever had. The flavors were...
