Wow, theme park view?! I was jealous before at the club level with garden view! I hope you can enjoy some time in the room and soak up that fantastic view!
I always tend to spend too much money on food while at Disney - it's a disease. I think any of the steak places would work well - I like both Yachtsman and Le Cellier, and heard nothing but good things about Shulas (check out emmysmommy's dining reports for reviews on all three, in case you've not read Brenda's reports!). I've never eaten at Whispering Canyon Café (at all) or Boma (for dinner) yet, but plan to try both during our next trip! I also loved our meal at Jiko a few years ago. I LOVED breakfast at Kona so I highly recommend that.
I do adore the California Grill (as you know!). Perhaps you could make an ADR there and just order appetizers and dessert? Or eat at the Contempo Café and go to the California Grill just for dessert? I think even a short time there is worth it for the view and the atmosphere.
Hey Jenny! I'm definitely planning on spending some time around the resort, it sounds amazing! Not only in the theme park view room and the club level lounge, but also the new pool that's almost finished, and TRADER SAM'S, which has just opened. Show me the cocktails please!
It sure is a disease! Partly thanks to you, I just booked Kona for breakfast and ENTIRELY thanks to you, I've booked California Grill! I think going there just for an appetiser and dessert will be perfect for me, so thanks for the great idea
KATIE!!!! I'm so sorry I'm so late to hear about your trip, but I'm having such a hard time keeping up with the DIS lately, not to mention trying to write a new TR (which is finally coming along, but I need to be a few days ahead before I start posting).
So excited to hear about this upcoming trip to DLP AND WDW. WOW!!!!
ROB!!!!! That's so fine, I've been (unintentionally) neglecting this PTR anyway I know, it's sometimes difficult finding the time to write this stuff up. But when I do find the time, I LOVE it I'm so glad to have you here!!
I knowwwwwwwwwwww - I really want to! Why don't you just stow me away in your luggage?? That could totes work right? I mean, no one would notice me AT ALL
I miss WDW so much it's not even funny!
Hahhah, this would be me and you at the airport......
There's definitely not much room for activities in there.. (Is it weird that I want to quote Stepbrothers every time I speak to you? Like, can I just call you my stepsister or something?!)
Following!
We stayed at the Poly for the first time this month and loved it! We are going back again in March and May!
We had breakfast at Kona and it was relaxed and yummy.
Hey, I'm glad you're here! I'm so glad to hear that you loved the Poly! (I'm sorry I'm a bit late replying) - So it seems like you were there in January, you just got back (maybe?) AND you're going in May!?! That sounds amazing! Do you live nearby or something? I'd love to be able to get out there more frequently, but it's just so far away from us here in England
I'm glad you enjoyed Kona, I've booked it for breakfast AND dinner!
Hooray!!! Theme Park view?! Totally amazing and totally jealous!
Never been to Shula's but have been to Le Cellier once and Yachtsmans twice and we totally prefer Yachtsman to Le Cellier. You're so right, it's too close together at Le Cellier.
WL - TOTALLY enjoy Artist Point, mainly for their absolutely heavenly portabello mushroom soup. Oh my gosh. Delicious!
AKL - Have visited Jiko two and a half times. Weird I know. Dinners are amazing, atmosphere is quiet, a bit on the darker side but romantic. And on this trip I went to Sanaa (by myself!) and it was delicous! Totally would go again - by myself or with others
Had Sushi at Kona Cafe for the first time and were amazed at how fresh it was.
Thanks my love! I'm soooo excited!
Yeah, I ended up booking the Yachtsman again the steakhouses are so expensive, I would kick myself if I booked Shula's / Le Cellier and didn't enjoy it as much as the Yachtsman
Ummm.. you've been to Jiko two and a half times..?!?!
Ahhh as I've said in the update I just posted, I had to choose Boma over Jiko because I'm quite a picky eater, so it'll probably be better for me to be able to try a bunch of different options from the Boma buffet! And as for Artist Point, quite a few people suggested this to me! I've got Whispering Canyon booked provisionally because I'd really like to experience the unique atmosphere there. But I've been looking at Artist Point menu and it looks soooo good. I'm already considering changing my mine
Yay I have Kona booked! I've actually never tried sushi before! maybe Kona is the place to try it
