    6 weeks out and still no WOC dining package for October...

    We just got back from Disneyland last week (we're typically at WDW) and absolutely loved the way Disneyland handles this sort of thing...I tend to think that maybe it's WDW that needs to get their act together and not force us all to plan so far in advance. It is such a relief not to have to...

    Rare Characters

    We were out there last week and were very impressed with the variety of characters, as well as how they sometimes seem to have much more freedom to roam at Disneyland. We walked around New Orleans Square area with Dr. Facilier for a few minutes, and I kept seeing him wandering aimlessly around...

    BOG - lunch vs dinner - which do you recommend

    If focused on BOG for the meal, then I'd agree with most of the comments above -- i.e., for a birthday meal, go with dinner. Dinner has a totally different feel than lunch, which is more of a cafeteria atmosphere, from the moment you order at a kiosk to the table where you sit. At dinner, the...

    Where to eat the night before running Wine & Dine 1/2 Marathon?

    We stumbled into Portobello at Disney Springs in late afternoon/early evening before the Star Wars Dark Side Half Marathon. I say "stumbled" because we really didn't have any reservations or even general dinner plans prior to walking in. Our group of four got seated almost immediately at a...

    Best breakfast not inside a park

    These two would also be my first two choices...and agree that they would likely remain at the top, regardless of location. Cape May might be a third out-of-park option (particularly if you want characters).

    Thoughts on Tony's

    The Tony's experience is what you want it to be. Not the best Italian on property, for sure, but there are times when eating in a themed restaurant INSIDE the most popular tourist destination on planet Earth is something you just want to do, and if so, Tony's can be a good experience. We...

    Which restaurant/resort on our date evening?

    Among your choices listed, for a "date," I would go with Sanaa. It is not terribly difficult to get to AKL (take boat from FW to MK and then just hop on a bus), and among the choices listed (and just in general), it has more of an out-of-the-way, quiet feel to it, as if you have somehow escaped...

    Best Breakfast

    I'll add votes to Kona and Boma as out-of-park favorites and Tusker House as a park favorite. These seem to have some of the more unique items overall, whether it's Tonga Toast or the Samoan or the pineapple macadamia nut pancakes (or the pressed pot of coffee, which is, hands down, the best...

    Good Resort Lunch Option

    Can't believe I'm going to quote and agree with an LSU fan (Ole Miss guy here), but they're spot on with Sanaa. If you are truly looking for something around lunch and can't get into the party until 4:00, you would have plenty of time to eat, relax and get back to MK for early entry to the...

    Pop's Pop Tart Breakfast Sandwich

    I have seen it but not (yet) had it. I think it's one of those things that will, by default, get mixed reviews, so if you are the adventurous type, you just sort of have to go for it.

    Bacon Mac 'n' Cheese Cozy Cones...?

    Posted a photo in my earlier post from yesterday. While we enjoyed the contents of the cone(s), I will say that the bread cone itself was a little disappointing. I guess I had hoped against hope that they make them fresh on-site, but it seemed pretty clear that this was not the case, at least...

    Bacon Mac 'n' Cheese Cozy Cones...?

    We got the bacon/mac cone as well as the chili/frito cone a couple of weeks ago. Mac and cheese one was pretty great indeed. We tend to be regular guests at WDW and were at DL for the first time (for three of the four of us...and has been nearly 30 years for me). I was shocked when my wife...

    Would kids enjoy Les Chef de France?

    Our kids request Chefs de France on a regular basis for lunch. We started going several years ago when Remy would appear, but even in his absence, we still go. I guess Remy served his original purpose of getting families in the door, and the restaurant did the rest. Doesn't look like you have...

    i have a question

    If I am not mistaken (and somebody correct me if I am), the ones at Sleepy Hollow are strictly vanilla ice cream. At Plaza Ice Cream Parlor, you still get to pick your ice cream flavor.

    Biergarten lunch vs dinner

    We have done F&W twice. The first time we had three days to play with, and we felt like three days was a good timeframe over which to spread F&W but still have the option to eat an actual meal somewhere. It was our first kidless trip (they still haven't forgiven us), so we still wanted to have...

    Biergarten lunch vs dinner

    That's a tough one. Depending on how many days you have and plan to spend at Epcot for F&W, it would be tough to try to eat around the world AND justify a meal at Biergarten. As a buffet, I tend to want to get maximum "bang for my buck," which wouldn't leave much room for food kiosks around...

    Tiana's Place coming to Magic Kingdom???

    Drop it in Diamond Horseshoe. They are apparently bringing it back for table service, starting in mid-March, so it might be too late to transform it to Tiana's, but seems like the logical location within MK. Would love a Cajun-inspired restaurant somewhere in a park or closer to the monorail...

    Boma questions

    There is a sufficiently broad array of food on the Boma buffet that pretty much everybody should be able to find something they like, including kids (there is a separate kids' section). I'm not sure I would describe the foods as particularly spicy, but there are several "flavorful" options with...

    Biergarten lunch vs dinner

    The braised beef roulades are another item available at dinner but not at lunch. That is my favorite item on the buffet, and when we opted for the cheaper lunch the last time we went, I had just assumed it would be available...but alas... Even so, it's definitely a little cheaper at lunch, and...

    Is it me??

    Not quite sure I understand, but it sounds like something for which you will need Disney's direct assistance rather than advice on these boards. I would call and get it sorted out with someone who can pull up all of your dining records, etc.
