I'm glad you enjoyed and had a wonderful trip.

Loving your reviews! My dd and I had a "girls only" breakfast at 1900 PF to celebrate her birthday. We got the mini castle cake too (yes, for breakfast) and the chocolate mousse filling was to die for!!This was the best time for both of us!
How was the breakfast? As you can see, we are breakfast people. When we ate at CRT last time it was sarah's bday and I got her the white chocolate slipper for breakfast, she ate it. It's vacation after all.
Your plan is great, maybe I'll try this in our next trip. Your pics are also great and I love it.
Thanks for the compliments, more coming soon.....

Dave & I made our way over to Narcoossees which in at the back of the GF property on the lake. We got to the restaurant about 6:45pm for our 6:50pm ADR and asked for a table next to the window. The CM said that we would have to wait until around 7:30pm for a window since the fireworks were are 7pm. I had checked the schedule for that day and knew that there were no fireworks since it was MVMCP night and I told her that but she continued to argue about it. 
So I said any table was fine and took the pager. Dave wanted to go out on the deck and get some pics of MK and hotels.
About 5 minutes later, we get buzzed and are taken to a table next to the window.
The view was amazing and we could see the castle change to the ice lights and then various colors throughout the night but there were NO fireworks while we were there. 
Our CM was Susan and she was very pleasant and took very good care of us. I was really looking forward to this ADR for 2 reasons, it was our "date" night and I had read many good reviews of the food. I was still not sure how my stomach would behave with rich food but tried:
Crab Cakes, Crab-Crusted Flounder - crushed fingerling potatoes, hericot vert, and Meyer lemon butter sauce and Almond Cheesecake and Dave had Crab Cakes, Surf & turf twin medallions of filet mignon, butter poached lobster tail, potato gratin, and choron sauce and no dessert.
The crab cakes were very good but also rich, I ate about 1 1/2 and Dave finished the rest. It seemed to take a very long time to receive our entrees but while waiting Dave's parents called and said that they and Mark were done eating and tired so they were not going to stop at GF to meet mom & Sarah but go directly back to POP.
I tried to call mom but only got her VM and wanted to be sure she knew not to wait for them. So I was trying to decide if I should walk back to 1900 PF and let her know and then I got creative. I called Susan over and asked her if it was possible for them to contact mom at 1900PF and let her know so she got the manager to come over, I explained the situation and he said no problem, I will take care of it. 
A big thank you to both of them. When the entrees came, they were beautifully presented and delicious but nothing spectacular or what I would expect for 2TS signature dining. We both decided that we were too full for dessert but I wanted to try the Almond Cheesecake so I asked for it to go.
The atmosphere was beautiful, service was great but not overall it was any better then the other dining experiences we had done up to that point.

The total bill for the 2 of us was $148.34 but we used 4TS credits for it plus I left extra tip for Susan for all her help.
We would probably not return here but would try another signature dining next time. I just don't think it was worth it for the 2TS cost and especially if you are playing OOP.

Granny/Poppy/Mark had 6:20pm ADR at Chef Mickeys. They arrived early and had their pic taken which they bought.
They were seated early and said that they food was good especially the dessert buffet area (Mark's comment). I have not been able to get the pics with characters from them yet. They really enjoyed the character interaction and we will return during our next trip.
Their total for dinner was $89.97 but they used 3TS, not sure what they left for tip.

Sorry for the delay, I have been away on business for a while.....
Wednesday, 12/3
Mark
As you can see, he was not so bright eyed that morning.
We had a 7:50am ADR at Cape May Cafe so there was no sleeping in this morning. I didn't really want it that early but it was the only time I could get and only hae one table and since the kids did not know that Aunt Suzie was arriving today, I wanted everyone at one table. So the day starts for Mark with phone call from Aunt Suzie to wish him since he think she is still in NY at her teaching job. He politely tells her to call back later since he is tired and not awake yet and hangs up on her. We get dressed and head over to main building to meet G&P to get over to the Beach Club. Just as we get to the doors near the food court Aunt Suzie comes running out and wishes Mark Happy Birthday Again. (Sorry, no pic) The look on his face was priceless. He was totally shocked and speakless (or still asleep). Both mark & sarah are thrilled to see her and now the BDay celebration can begin. We go over to the area near LS where magical express drops off and get 2cabs over to BC for breakfast. Since we were tight on time, this was the best option instead of taking bus to Epcot and then either walking to BC or transferring to their bus. It was only about 5 minute ride and about $10, worth it for peace of mind.
We arrive at the Beach Club which is beautiful for the holidays and have the chocolate and gingerbread carosel in the lobby.
I checked in at the podium and they were already running 20 minutes late at 7:45am so we took a look around the lobby and I went to find a CM to advise how to get the launch over to HS after breakfast. Soon the buzzer goes off and we are seated at the table next to the buffet. The CM was quick to come over and take our coffee/juice orders and then sent us off to the buffet.
Here is the lists from allears of what is on the buffet:
Fresh cantaloupe, honeydew, watermelon, and fresh berries, mixed fruit,
Yogurt selections, Breakfast Specials Daily, Scrambled eggs, omelets, and eggs to order, Biscuits and gravy, Asparagus, Breakfast Pizza, Biscuits, Smoked Salmon (Lox), Cream Cheese, Tomatoes, Capers, Mickey waffles,
Bacon and sausage, Seasonal potatoes, Assorted hot & cold cereals,
Bread pudding with vanilla sauce, Muffins, danish, and donuts, Bagels & breads toasted to order, Coffee and tea, juice selections.
All of the items were very fresh and everyone seemed happy with the selections. I liked the Mickey waffles, potatoes, fresh fruits, eggs and muffins. I wasn't a thrilled with the breakfast pizza but the kids loved it. Just before we went, they changed the characters so now they have Minnie Mouse, Goofy and Donald (no Chip or Dale
) in their beach attire. We were near the beginning of the character interaction.
First came Goofy:
Here is a better view of Mark's t-shirt that I made on disneyshopping:
Then came Donald:
Then finally Minnie. The CM brought over a birthday cupcake for Mark so everyone in our area sang to him including Minnie.
This was a very nice breakfast and a cool way to celebrate his birthday with the characters. We would do this breakfast again and probably try the dinner buffet as well. Total cost was $84.53 with tax and tip but we used 4 TS credits.

The dining room is very pretty and since we were in the area near the buffet, we didn't have any issues with getting refills. Our CM was very nice and made Mark feel very special on his bday. I did feel that the characters were rushing to get to the other tables but that was ok. I don't think there is anyway that we ate almost $20 worth of food but it was a good thing we filled up since lunch was awful......

Wednesday, Dec 3rd:
We had planned to eat to Sci Fi for lunch but they were running behind and would not guarantee that we would be done in time to see the afternoon show of Light, Motors, Action show so we decided to cancel and try ABC Commissary. BIG MISTAKE!!!!
They have a very limited menu so our choices were between salad, burgers or curry chicken or fried fish. The dessert choices were chocolate mousse or strawberry shortcake.
DH & DS got the burger with fries which they said were fair at best.
DD got the chicken nuggets which were the worst of the entire trip, they were overcooked and dry. She barely ate anything except a few fries.
I got the Asian Salad. I asked if I could get the dressing on the side but was told that they are all premade so no. This was also the worst meal I had during the trip. The dressing was so strong and overpowering, I literally only ate about 5 bites until I couldn't take it anymore. The desserts weren't much better, the mousse was ok but if it didn't come with the dining plan I certainly would not spend $3.59 on it. The strawberry shortcake tasted artificial and no one ate more then one spoonful.

Total was $44.66 but was 4 Dining credits. Not worth even 1 credit IMHO. If you are in HS and hungry, walk past ABC Commissary and find something better.

Great report- I am just now signing on and can't wait to hear the rest! We will be doing Teppan Edo's first time in April along w/ Chef Mickey & ... Narcoossee's?... not sure now- I have been looking forward to it and even came upon a dilemma tonight that had me trying to rearrange things so we could still fit it in- Now I wonder should I do as DH suggested- we can always try it in July...
Can't wait to hear the rest- The kids look great and seem so happy even when tired out- Glad you started to feel better...
