Uggghh I Hate When This Happens - The DIS Discussion Forums

WDmommyof4 · 09-30-2009, 04:50 PM

I chose to go with the deluxe dining plan for our upcoming trip becase we enjoyed it so much when we did it in March. I got up at 2:30AM on my 90 day mark and got all the ADRs I wanted. Now, I am second guessing everything. Thinking I want to switch out this for that and so on. I think the problem is that my kids picked several of their favorites and some new ones they want to do that I want to keep for them, but there are so many other new ones that I want to do too. Too many places too little time

. Well here are our ADRs, please weigh in if you think there is something on the list that we should avoid at all costs.

16th (arrival day)
Lunch: WCC (new Kid Pick)
Dinner: DTD Raglan Road (new Mommy Pick)

17th
Lunch: Grand Floridian Cafe (new Mommy pick)
Dinner: California Grill (new Gammie pick)

18th
Breakfast: 1900 Park Fare (old fav kid pick)
Lunch: Coral Reef (old fav kid pick)
Dinner: Nine Dragons (new mommy pick)

19th (DS7 BDay)
Lunch: Sci Fi (New kids pick)
Dinner: Ohana (old fav birthday boy pick)

20th
Breakfast: Donald's Safari Breakfast (old fav kids pick)
Lunch: Yak and Yeti (old fav mommy pic)
Dinner: Jiko (new pick for gammie)

21st
Lunch: Le Cellier (new mommy pick)
Dinner: Chef Mickeys (old kids pick)

22nd (doomsday)
Lunch: Lunch at DTD. (Maybe Wolfgang Pucks?)
Sandwiches to go at Earl of Sandwich for dinner that night or buffet to go at ft wilderness.

I think they look pretty good. We'll be there the same period as you and leaving on the same day, the 22nd. Be sure to wave to any LGMH wearing folks on the 18th and 20th because we'll be at the same places for breakfast as you!

The only possible thing I can recommend, based on reviews read here and on other boards, is possibly reconsidering your Nine Dragons reservation. I've heard fairly mixed reviews about it, ranging from the best Chinese food to the worst, and since you also have Yak and Yeti on your list, which has some similar entrees, you could technically change Nine Dragons if you felt there was some other restaurant you were dying to try this trip. Other than that, I would suggest just stick with your reservations and have a great time!

PatsGirl · 09-30-2009, 06:46 PM

wow, it looks like so much food

but I know it really isn't. after walking in the parks I can always have a nice lunch and dinner ~ enjoy

B-Ride · 09-30-2009, 06:50 PM

Second guessing yourself is a no win situation. The old places were chosen because you liked them and the new places because you want to try them. Sounds like pretty sound logic for both.

For every disappointment you find in the new places you will have two or three others that become favourites. So I say stick to your original plan and enjoy yourself.

MouseMomx2 · 09-30-2009, 07:16 PM

The only one I would remove is Nine Dragons. It's good, but if you have good Chinese food near your home it won't be much different/better.

PrincessMickey · 09-30-2009, 07:57 PM

Everything looks so yummy. I would agree with the others and change nine dragons. I would suggest teppon edo. We loved it and the kids enjoyed it as well.

I agree. We are doing Teppan Edo for the first time in December. I know that my kids will think it is cool how the chefs make their food right in front of them. And like one PP had already mentioned, you are already doing Yak and Yeti so why not try something else.

mommy*RN · 09-30-2009, 08:41 PM

Ooo, your kids are at the PERFECT age for Teppon Edo...watching the chefs make the meal right in front of them! So I agree with all the posters that since you are doing Yak&Yeti AND Nine Dragons I would switch the Nine Dragons to Teppon Edo. Otherwise your ressies look so yummy!! Have a wonderful trip!!

Wow! It would be so great to see another DISer on vacation. What is LGMH though? lol. Hmmm Nine Dragons was actually my pick because after reading a review I was really tempted by some of the pictures. Maybe I will take my chances. At the time we tried Yak and Yeti it was getting bad reviews too. The steak and shrimp there is to die for though!!!!

Thank-you for everyone's input. I look forward to giving my first dining review when we return. I can't wait!

LGMH - Lime Green Mickey Head. You get the paint chip cards from Home Depot that are shaped like Mickey's head. Be sure to get the "Alien Green". People write their "Dis-name" on them and attach them to their backpack, purse, etc. It's a way to identify other DISers. Other, more crafty, DISers make them on their computer, or by hand, and don't "lift" them from HD!

I see another poster mentioned what LGMH was, so I won't mention it again, but it would be so cool to bump into you! With both being buffets, there might actually be a decent chance. It will just be me and my father going, so be on the lookout.

Anyway, honestly, I wouldn't be worried about Nine Dragons, in fact, I actually have a reservation for it much earlier in our week because I love it. I don't have much decent Chinese food by where I live, so it is nice to have it in Disney.

Don’t be second guessing; what you already have looks to be very reasonable. It’s a good selection and the kids looked to have made so good choices also.
