    Snacking around World Showcase; what are your must-eats?

    Kaki gori from Japan, rainbow flavour. Interesting so many folks like the fish and chips from UK, we found them nasty! Our local chippy does them much better :)

    What is the most overrated Restaurant at Disney

    Biggest let down for us was CRT. Food was bleh, hubby's prime rib was more fat than meat and lavender chicken was just bizarre. Princesses didn't bother with us as we were just 2 adults. Would much rather have spent my 2 DP credites elsewhere.

    What to put in your daypack?

    I take a small bag with sunglasses (to swap with normal glasses when outside, I am near blind with neither on), hairbrush, spare bobble, sunscreen (factor 50), camera, small amount of cash and spare pin backs. I also have my prescription meds and baby wipes. I keep my KTTW card and DVC card...

    Never been in Aug - water park ?

    We always get there for rope drop and leave by 11ish, it does start to get busy by then. I am fair-skinned and have red hair so I avoid the midday sun, especially with bare shoulders! It is a good plan to avoid weekends as they are the busier days. Do the bigger slides first as the queues do get...

    Beignets

    I have seen lots of pictures of these yummy looking things on the boards but being from the UK have no clue what they are. Do they have filling in? Do you eat them hot? Can someone enlighten me please :confused3

    Yachtman's Steakhouse or Calif. Grill for date night?

    We have been disappointed with our last 2 visits to YSH, the food has always been good but the service has been poor especially on our last visit. If you decide on YSH take a jumper as they seem to like the A/C set to Arctic. We love Cali Grill and have always had good service there. The food...

    Sunscreen?

    I am from UK and very pale skinned with red hair so I burn very easily. I used the water babies 50+ (in pink bottle) and did not burn at all when we went to Blizzard Beach. For everyday I use Boots Soltan (don't think available in USA) and they do small pouches which are great to take to the...

    newbie!!

    I have also been to DLRP and let me say WDW is WAAAAAAAAAAAY bigger! We go for at least 2 weeks and have a great time. We did do all 4 parks in 3 days on our honeymoon but we were younger then :rotfl2: We usually go to a park for rope drop or shortly after and have a few hours, then go back...

    mini golf

    We have played all 4 courses and I like them all except the Fairways one at Fantasia Gardens. Way too hard! We normally play at night as it is too hot during the day in August. At that time they are open till 11pm, we have never had any wait for any of the courses. The only downside with...

    Paying it forward..... and spreading some Magic!!!

    I always do this: http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=717799 We don't get to see the magic but having no kids of our own giving sweets etc out would seem a bit weird. We give any spare fast passes away too :goodvibes

    First timer-if you had to pick 1, what is your favorite TS & CS restaurant

    So hard to choose just one! In DTD both Wolfgang Puck Express and Earl of Sandwich offer something different than burgers and chicken strips. We always visit Pecos Bill if burgers are what you want though, the fixins bar is great. Columbia Harbour House does some very good sandwiches. For TS...

    Your top 5 recommendations - signature dining

    We love California Grill, always had great food there and the view is fabulous. I can highly recommend the pork tenderloin with polenta, very very yummy. The food at Yachtsman has always been wonderful but the service had been poor for our last 2 visits. Last time they put us under an A/C outlet...

    Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner (for my Honeymoon)

    We have eaten in California Grill for our anniversary twice and are doing so again this year, the food is fabulous! They have always given us a great table and although I was apprehensive about sitting by the window (I am afraid of heights) I really enjoyed it. We got to see the Water Pageant...

    2 CS in MK...what food would you get?

    Pecos Bill for burgers and the fixins bar! Cosmic Ray's is also good but can get very busy, the chicken sandwich (I think) was very nice in there.

    May I Have Your Signature?

    I would vote Yachtsman, the steak there is lovely and has always cooked as asked. I did enjoy the food at Narcoossee's but found the atmosphere to be a little strange. Our server was not very attentive and treated us like a couple of kids, we are 33 and 35 and had taken the time to dress...

    WDW Rides You Wish Would Return

    My first visit was in 2002 so I missed a lot of the older rides. I would have loved to visit River Country it looked fab! I'm not sure if we did Body Wars in 2002 it was a 3 day commando run round all 4 parks but I would like to see it. I would vote not to bring back the Alien Encounter, it...

    Pet Peeves - In Regards to WDW Theme Parks

    My pet peeves: People who send one person to queue then have the other members of their family join them. Me and DH stand side by side and refuse to budge now :) People who swear. People who pee on toilet seats and people who don't wash their hands after using the toilet, especially...

    What do you do on arrival day?

    This year will be different for us, we are getting to WDW in the middle of the day. Normally it is about 11pm as we fly from the UK, we just arrive, check in and have a quick swim then crash out. We have 3 days before WDW this time so we (well DH is) driving to WDW from Sea World. This time...
