Hi everyone! I recently started reading these boards, as my boyfriend and I are planning his first trip to Disney and my first trip since I was 8! We will only be there for a few days (and that already took some convincing of him on my part), so I am doing just a few planned-ahead meals and would love some advice if anyone has any suggestions:
1) First night meal. We will be getting there around 4pm or so, but don't have tickets for the parks. Apparently, you can go see the fireworks from some of the hotels (Polynesian and Floridian I think?), which sounds like a good, easy-going first night. Any suggestions for a good restaurant to eat at at one of the hotels where you can do this?
2) Dinner at Epcot - I was leaning towards the Rose and Crown, because there is a British pub near our house we are fond of and the reviews look pretty good. The other things that looked pretty neat were Teppan Edo or Tokyo Dining. Any recommendations within that list? Also, what time would we need to eat to finish before the (9pm) show that evening? We eat pretty fast usually, but how early do we need to get there to find a decent spot to see it?
3) I am pretty set on doing Sanaa, so I think we'll do that this day. Looks like transportation might be a pain, but we will have the car, so perhaps we will drive (to/from Magic Kingdom)?
4) Last morning breakfast. I would LOVE to do a character brunch/breakfast, but I am open to a non-character if it is something really awesome! Again, won't be in the parks, but it looks like several of the hotels had good options. Does anyone have experience with Ohana or Cape May breakfast? It's just me and my boyfriend (both 24), and he is not super into it (yet! I am still trying to get him excited), so if there is an option that is slightly quieter, I will probably try to go with that. But I still really want to eat with the characters!
Thanks in advance for any help!
