I have to chuckle about your observation in regarding to your travel party not knowing that so much thought and planning can go into creating a dining itinerary alone. (My husband thought the same thing and I asked him how he would plan a trip with dining and he said just show up wherever/whenever... he so doesn't get it! )
To answer your question, for ME, I'm a control freak so no, I wouldn't just randomly pull places from a hat and go with that! Wish I could!
However, your suggestion gives everyone input for their choice and then fate decides the rest. Not a bad idea at all!
Hi Rachel! I agree. Picturing a flurry of activity once the food arrives and no one digs in until our photo shoot has concluded. It will be interesting.
Ha ha!! You're right, that is one less thing to worry about since we won't be posting a live review. We'll just have to coordinate between all the Disers contributing to the dining reviews. Should be fun!
Hi there Max! (I'm taking the liberty of shortening your name. )
We're flexible like that... can't upset me by cancelling my cruise. Not when there is a cocktail being offered.
If our cruise doesn't work out we'll have a lot of people to crowd around into a lounge. Watch out everyone!!
Great updates and pics.
Shula's looked so good, maybe one day.
Wow does Shula's ever look delicious! I showed my DH your pictures and we may just have to give the place a try on our next Mom & Dad only trip!
I have been looking forward to your review of Shula's. It is our favorite restaurant at WDW. Make sure to try the crab mac and cheese the next you are there. Sometimes my wife only orders that for her meal. BTW you can also sign up for the Swan Dolphin Dining Passport to earn rewards on top of your TIW discount.

All caught up, phew! What a wonderful meal at Monsieur Paul - bacon rolls! I want one! We haven't eaten there since it was Bistro and I'm anxious to try it out. Can't wait to read about your tour of the Dream Suite. I'm popping over to your TR now to see if we're there yet!!
Well I'm not a steak fan, but Shula's sounds like the kind of place I should take DH! Sounds like you guys had a great meal there. I'd go for the chocolate dessert Em had! Yumm!!
Done that myself a time or two!Whoops accidentally posted twice - deleted!
Loving your reviews! You've really got me craving those fries at the Plaza. I never think to eat there, I don't know why.
The level of involvement you have with the CMs at some of these places have really opened my eyes to what a dining experience can be like. I have been getting sort of tired of eating table service (I know, first world problem!!) because it just didn't seem worth the time and money, but the relationships you have formed with the people at these places makes me rethink how I've been eating out!
You are so funny, I am really entertained by your writing. Thanks for brightening my day!
we are enjoying reading your report we are planning a family visit to WDW in May and a number of the Restaurants are on out list so far we look forward to reading more .... Mike

Honestly, no idea!
Hot appetizers: Potstickers and some meat pastry with chili sauce - I believe. I can't swear by it.
See? Chili sauce at least:
