Almost Final List - What Do You Think?

[Terk-1]

So, I believe I've made our final list of restaurants, with several that we have never been to before. This trip is 4 adults, no kids on the deluxe dining plan. What do you think? Any you would change to something else?

Artist Point - Never been before
Crystal Palace (breakfast) - this is a must for me on every trip
Yachtsman Steakhouse (dinner) - have not been in many years
Le Cellier (dinner) - must for me
Boma (early breakfast)
Tusker House (late lunch)
Rose & Crown (late dinner)
Liberty Tree Tavern (lunch)
Citricos (dinner) - never been before
Tutto Italia (lunch) - never been before
Flying Fish (dinner) - never been before
50's Primetime (lunch) - must for me
California Grill (dinner) - have not been in many years

Now I currently have 2 credits left to use. On day 3 we were going to do lunch using snack credits around World Showcase, but am wondering if we should do breakfast or lunch either in or near EPCOT. Will still leave us with one credit, so I'm wondering about maybe doing breakfast on day 6 (EPCOT day with no AM/PM EMH).

I think you did a fantastic job! The one that does not appeal to me or my family is Liberty Tree Tavern, we have not been impressed and have gone a couple of times to see if it was an off day, but we don't like it. Have you tried Teppan Edo at Epcot? It is fantastic and fun! That might be a good option for the extra credit Great job with the ressies though! I hope you have a blast!!

Awesome list!

 

[AlohaAnnie]

Looks Great!!

I would do the same for an Adults Only Trip!!

 

[zhazhazsu]

I would do a Cape May Breakfast, or Dinner. I have always wanted to make it over there and since you are at the BC it seems like a logical choice.

I'm wondering if I should cancel lunch @ Tutto Italia and do a breakfast that morning instead (like at the Cape May Cafe). This way we can try out the different countries at the F&WF for lunch.

Love Cape Mays breakfast buffet and I'm not really a fan of buffet dining. I think picking around the showcase at all the food and wine booths is a great idea... I'd do that.

I think the Kona Cafe has an awesome breakfast. The Tonga Toast is a must-do for us each trip. So, if you are thinking of using one of those credits for breakfast that would be a good option.
DH and I have always wanted to snack around the WS at F&W, but the kiddos make that too hard. So, please let us know how it goes when you get back!

Cape May Buffet breakfast is really good and even for 4 adults with no children the characters are such a laugh and a great start before looking round Epcot. Perfect

Ok, so I made a few changes to get some time munching around World Showcase for the Food & Wine Festival. Still need one more place to dine. Am wondering if I should change Kona to breakfast and put back Liberty Tree Tavern for lunch.

Day 1: (2 people are not arriving until 5:30pm)
Dinner @ Artist Point (should we keep this one or do the Hoop Dee Doo Review instead?)

Day 2:
Breakfast @ Crystal Palace
Dinner @ Yachtsman Steakhouse

Day 3:
Breakfast @ Cape May Cafe
Lunch - munching around the Food & Wine Festival
Dinner @ Le Cellier

Day 4:
Early breakfast @ Boma
Late lunch @ Tusker House
Late dinner @ the Rose & Crown

Day 5:
Lunch @ Kona Cafe (changed this from the LTT)
Dinner @ Citricos

Day 6:
Breakfast @ Whispering Canyon Cafe (on the fence with this one, as this is an EPCOT morning)
Lunch - munching around the F&WF
Dinner @ the Flying Fish

Day 6:
Lunch @ the 50's Primetime Cafe
Dinner @ the California Grill

How many days are you there? Is it 7 days 6 nights? If so, each person would get 18 credits. I'm counting 20 credits used per person when I add it up fast - Le Cellier dinner, Artist Point, Yachtsman, Citricos, Flying Fish & Cali Grill are all signature and 2 TS credits PP. Hoop de doo is too if you pick that one instead. Were you paying OOP for some of the 1 credit ones? One way you could save on credit usage is to do lunch at Le Cellier - only dinner there is 2 TS credits. Also day 4 is a busy food day. I hate doing 3 TS meals in one day, I'm constantly clock watching and praying I get hungry again by my next meal. I'd cut out one of those meals. I'd probably cut out Kona breakfast and try to get a Tusker House breakfast ADR, since Tusker House is more known for having a great breakfast. If you don't want a character breakfast, then I'd probably just cut out Tusker House all together that day. And don't forget how much food it is - each meal comes with an appetizer AND dessert. That's why I caution against 3 TS meals in one day. Otherwise, great choices!

8 days, 7 nights
3 credits per night = 21 credits per person

I don't think I'd travel all the way to WCC on an EPCOT day when you are staying at BC. How about Kouzzina? I haven't been yet, but it gets good reviews for breakfast and I think the menu is very interesting.

 

[LuvLuvLuv]

looks really good... but i would switch out tutto italia for via napoli.... it's just fantastic!!

HDDR would be a great way to start the trip, but then you have absolutely GOT to fit AP in for a dinner somewhere - and unless you drop the Rose & Crown, you'll have to sacrifice another Signature instead. Based on park logistics, it would be easiest to swap out AP for Cali Grill or Citricos.

Adding HDDR and dropping R&C for AP would make your 21 TS credits. If you add HDDR but swap AP for one of the other Signatures, though, I rather like picking up Kona for breakfast and putting LTT back in at lunchtime.

One suggestion: on Day 6, instead of the WCC, why not go to The Wave for breakfast? It has both a buffet and an a la carte menu, and it just feels more 'adult' to me. Then you could monorail/transfer to Epcot.

I didn't see where you are staying but a PP said you were staying at the BC. If you are, then I agree with the suggestion that you go to Cape May Cafe for breakfast rather than Whispering Canyon, which is a bit of a trip from the BC.

Other than that I think your list looks great. We love the California Grill and enjoy Citricos. We usually stay at the GF so our TS meals are often at places on the monorail line.
