Hello Everyone 
We are almost a week away from making our ADRs, so I thought I would jump onboard and start a dining review. I hope it isn't too early 
I have talked about food quite a bit in my regular trip pre-TR, but I wanted to start a food one over here for a couple of reasons ... the first being I NEED HELP!!!!!!!!!! 
Every time we make a "plan" about our ADRs we second guess ourselves, so I thought I would ask the "experts" over here. Second, I figured it would be fun to document the food adventure starting from the beginning which would be now (or more accurately a week from now 
).
So, first things first...I titled this "A Trip of Firsts" because:
1. This trip is (a belated) First Anniversary Celebration
2. This will be our First time on the Dining Plan
3. This will be our First time going with ADRs planned for each day
<--- We have mixed feelings about this
4. We both "solemnly swore" to each other we would try a new food that we have never tried before
Makes sense now right
Ok, more important things...THE FOOD!!!!
We spent our honeymoon at WDW last May and we loved it, but we went pretty much unprepared thinking that we only need a reservations for CRT and the Fantasmic package...oops
On that trip we dined at the following places:
1. Shula's Steakhouse
2. CRT for Breakfast
3. Pecos Bills
4. Spirit of Aloha
5. Plaza Restaurant
6. Rose & Crown (on several occassions
)
7. Nine Dragons (their last day open before renovation)
8. Cookes of Dublin
9. Hollywood & Vine (Fantasmic Package)
10. Wilderness Lodge pizza delivery
For the most part we enjoyed everything...(EXCEPT Hollywood & Vine...I still get nightmares thinking about that experience
) but, we are super excited to expand our culinary horizons
Let's see what else?? Oh yeah, some introductions might be nice
My name is Shannon and I am a 27 year old accounting student. Growing up I didn't eat anything except for pasta and chicken ... and then I started dating a steak lover I have since expanded my taste buds, but can still be quite the picky eater. I enjoy chicken anyway you can make it ... grilled, fried, as a nugget, in a salad ... it doesn't matter, I like chicken. Don't worry though, I won't order chicken at every meal 
I also enjoy pasta, especially spaghetti and meatballs and I like some types of steak, as in the non fatty versions that are cooked well done I also love me a good greasy hamburger and LOVE LOVE LOVE creme brulee. Remember how I promised not to order chicken at every meal? Well, I cannot make the same promise for Creme Brulee 
I also like chocolate and lime flavored things. My dislikes include seafood (except your ordinary grease loaded fish and chips) prime rib and raspberries.
That's my Husband, Candido. We all call him Candi (pronounced like Candy) because he is the fourth generation and it's confusing to have four people respond to you if you say "Candido." Candi is a 27 year old Corporate level Manger at a private company here, MVD Express. His likes include steak, steak, and steak, that's not much of an exaggeration, but more specifically, he loves prime rib, tacos, pizza and crab legs. He isn't much of a dessert eater and usually goes with ice cream or cheesecake. He also loves anything pistachio flavored. His dislikes include chicken and spaghetti I'm not making that up ... don't even ask how we managed to survive through dinners when we first started living together
Ok, I'll go ahead and stop here for today.
Coming up next ... 9 days of dining and we've only narrowed it down to 41 restaurants aka the plea for help!!!

Wahoo, the more the merrier!!!
I'm not sure how I'm going to pull off the next one since it's Wednesday and I have to work AND go to school ... man oh man! I am going to pooped. Anyway, on with the fun stuff ....
Here's some pixie dust for your ADR day!!
) and then we have a second ressie from August 16-22 for FD. So we have 2 different ressies. I called on the 90 day date for the August 15th date and was able to make all my reservations for the full 7 days. Just wondering.
