My huband says "Let's Dine off Property " :(

[Tigger2ntinkerbell]

So how do I deal with this. I love 50's Prime Time, Kona Cafe, GF Cafe.
Las time off property, we ate at Perkins over 18 years ago .
So where would be a good place to eat(Casual Dining ). TIA

I'm not happy abut this ,BUT I am at Disney after all

Unless you're there for just 1 night, it's not a big deal to give in on that 1 dinner, right?

Don't know where you live, but we like to try places we can't try back home. Do some research on Tripadvisor or Yelp and see what there is that would be interesting. And you earn major brownie points with the hubby.

Like the pp we like to try places we can't normally eat at while on vacation. However when we are at Disney we strictly eat at Disney, so I can't be of much help there.
Are you staying off property? If not, what is his reasoning for wanting to eat off site?

 

[powellrj]

We have always found much better and cheaper food off-site. What kind of food are you looking for. They have every chain known to man and some really good local places. We also eat at places we can't find at home.

^^This^^ .

What about Hash House A Go Go, Millers Ale House or Bubbalou's Bodacious Barbecue?

Or a dinner show? The Outta Control Dinner Show is fabulous entertainment.

We have also love Carrabba's, but I know that's a chain (so it may be something you have at home).

Lot's of choices: Sweet Tomatoes, Fuddrucker's, TGI Fridays, Chevy's, Buffalo Wild Wings (all at Crossroads Plaza + fast food - McDonalds, Taco Bell), Landry's, restaurants at Universal CityWalk (free admission, reduced parking after 6:00(?): Margaritaville, Bubba Gump's, Hard Rock Cafe and others). The list goes on and on...you can find almost anything.

If you can get there, the food options and prices are way better off site than on disney property.

We're staying on property for 5 nights. When we were there this past May he kept saying more then likely would could have got better food off property. The only place out of our 10 day stay he liked was lunch at Be Our Guess.
Just the idea of having to get in the car and drive around finding a place to eat is nuts, when I can jump on a bus and go anywhere on property.

 

[marthachick]

I'd say...ok! Bring me something back! Lol

TOO funny

Can you still share meals ??. I was thinking about going to 50's Prime Time and getting the
A Sampling of Mom's Favorite Recipes and a Sundae for desert. Maybe he won't grumble so much if I buy

Did he provide any reason? Does he want something less expensive? There are fancy places that are even more expensive than Disney. Or there are local places that you might not have at home.

That's more the quality of the meal he said it was nothing really great or he didn't like it

Staying on property I would have a hard time justifying going off property much for meals; just a hassle but I'm sure for 1 or 2 meals it would be doable if you wanted. Did you try different types of meals during your last visit or is it just he doesn't like Disney food in general?

We ate at a Chicago Syle pizza place, it was great, but I don't remember the name. I knid of understand where he is coming from. The one place we have eaten that I felt like that was really good on property is The Grand Floridian Cafe. We ate there for dinner and it was great!!

Maybe you can compromise and eat at one of the restaurants in the Swan/Dolphin? They're easily reached from the Epcot resorts but they are not Disney restaurants and they're technically "offsite".

I can second Bubbalou's Bodacious Barbecue. The BBQ is great but the atmosphere is very informal. http://kirkman.bubbalous.com/
There are several of them in the area but this is one where we ate.

We stayed offsite for 10 nights and it was nice to take a break from Disney food (and prices!) and eat near our townhome. We did Perkins a couple of times, and found a place for take-out pizza once. Some of my favorite dinners involved grabbing a few things from a supermarket and lounging in the townhome with our feet up! We did a bunch of finger foods like cheese and crackers, sliced meat, grapes, cookies, etc. We also had breakfast there every morning. We still had plenty of park and resort meals. Then again we aren't fancy eaters and prefer not going out for every single meal.

We are fans of Cafe Tutu Tango. Everything is small plates and you can just order things till you're full. So order a few - reorder what you love. They also have the best Sangrias!! Check out their website and, if you like it, sign up for emails. They send coupons and discounts sometimes. Plus, if your birthday is magically at the same time as you trip, they will send you a birthday coupon....so, choose you birthday wisely
