This is my first time writing a review on the Dis boards, but I have meant to do so for my last two trips. I just never seem to get around to it. So here it is, a little late but better than never. Maybe I will even get around to doing trip #3 sometime! So let me give you all the important information & introduce ourselves.
This was our fourth trip to WDW, 2nd on the free DDP. So we were a little better prepared this time, making sure we planned when to use which credits. The only thing we didn’t account for was not being hungry! You’d think after 5 hours of touring a park, we’d work up an appetite, but this really didn’t happen too often!
This trip was just me & my husband. We stayed at All Star Music, a first for us Here we are:
I am Kelli, age 32 He is Mic (aka Michael or even Mickey – Obi_Mic on the boards), age 37.
You’ll find that Mic is a meat & potatoes kinda guy, while I am just a little bit more adventurous. I love steak, chicken & some shellfish. Not too keen on fish, but I am willing to try it from time to time. We both love coke, a little too much, so that is usually our drink of choice. Wait. Did I mention how picky of an eater Mic is? Very, very picky.
We don’t have any kids, and we usually go by ourselves. Last year was different. We had planned to go with 3 of our friends, then HIS parents & brother decided to go too. You can imagine the fun we had. We somehow managed to make it work pretty well. Time with friends, time with family, & time with both. You’ll notice there wasn’t any time by ourselves. That’s one of the reasons we decided to go this year. It was a spontaneous decision made just before the end of the free dining promo. So here we are!
We had a very hard time planning our ADR’s this trip. We knew we had to go back to CRT for breakfast, and we would pay out of pocket. That left us with 8 slots to fill. We wanted to try some new places, and had multiple places we wanted to revisit. After about 6 weeks of changing our minds, we finally made our choices. Here they are:
Saturday 1900 Park Fare
The Coral Reef
Sunday Kona Café
Monday Cape May Buffet
Tuesday Cinderella’s Royal Table
Wednesday Narcoossee’s
Thursday Columbia Harbour House & Les Chefs de France
Friday Wolfgang Puck Express
Le Cellier
Since we were on the dining plan, I will try to include our choices for snacks & quick service as well, although I don’t have too many pictures for those. I must note that in my restaurant planning I have utilized the menus on All Ears.net & the WDW dining app for my ipod touch. For the most part, these were very accurate in food description & pricing. I believe Cinderella’s Royal Table was the only restaurant that was almost completely wrong. These were a great resource for calculating my tips ahead of time.
So, on to the reviews!
