Jen - you crack me up!Do you really think you will make it the next two months without a change?????
I always think about changing, but I really want to be at the Beach Club, so I don't think I'll actually switch! 
Maybe if I win the lottery, we can stay there in October!
But they all seem like good choices! I've always wanted to go to Le Cellier or the California Grill since I first came on here. They both look like great places and Cape May... might have to take note of it, depending on the resort of choice I may have for my next trip! 
Looks like you picked out some nice restaurants! Too bad I haven't been to any of them... yeah, I know, I'm such a fail of a DISer
Cape May is amazing too, there's something for everyone there! And hello, Oreo bonbons for dessert? Yum! 
Yay, you're here!
I can't wait for the Beach Club!Haha, no Captain's Grille yet, but I will think about it! I think the breakfast there sounds really good, and cinnamon maple butter? Yum! I've only been there for dinner and we really liked it, but for some reason, we haven't been back!
Ugh, yeah, the signatures are so expensive, I'm not sure how I'm gonna divide up our TS credits, considering we have 4 credits and with CA Grill being 2, we'll need 5...somewhere will have to be OOP, I'm guessing Cape May, since it's a flat rate for the buffet, but maybe Le Cellier since it's lunch? Although we do like to drink at Le Cellier...I don't know!Why am I talking about this?
I can't believe they are refurb-ing CA Grill! I hope it stays the same, it seems like a lot of people will be disappointed if it changes!
I can't wait to go back to Le Cellier and Mama Melrose's, and I'm so excited to finally try CA Grill, I've wanted to for a while!
CA Grill might be too expensive, I'm guessing...if only we had one extra credit! Although, I guess I need 2, because I added Cape May for breakfast too!
So hungry now, must eat dinner... I'm also excited that two out of my three guesses were in your resort reveal post. I had the filet and my dad had the pork tenderloin and they were both amazing. Apparently, they are both the signature dishes, so even though the other entrees change, they are always on the menu. I don't think you could go wrong with either one!
YAY BEACH CLUB!! I am a little late to the party here
I am so excited for you guys, the pool there is so amazing
All of your ADRs sound amazing too, I have never tried Cali Grill, cant wait to hear about it!! it sounds awesome
Great ADR choices, Jen! I've never been to any of them lol But California Grill and Cape May sound like great places, even if you are missing out on 'Ohana which seems like a favorite of yours. And I don't think you can ever go wrong with Le Cellier.
If you are thinking of adding a breakfast, I would definitely go with Crystal Palace, absolutely love it there and for BREAKFAST! Empty main street, always a plus
Good ADR plans. Sounds like you figured out your breakfast, but if you need another option, I second the Kouzzina recommendation. It's one of our favorites (love the turkey-sweet potato hash!) and it's cheap and easy to get into (was nearly empty both times we went). And I didn't find the food particularly strange, but it depends on your tastes. It seems like it's mostly pretty normal stuff with some little Greek touches thrown in. Oh, and the feta scrambled eggs were really good too.
We've been to CA Grill a couple times to celebrate our anniversary. It is a good place to do so (make sure you have the anniversary on your reservation). They have done Mickey-head confetti and free champagne for us. I had heard that the Sonoma Goat Cheese Ravioli appetizer was a specialty, so we got that once and really enjoyed it. I don't see it on the menu right now, but we've been there when they have scallops (seasonal, I think) and Dug LOVES them! The Valrhona Chocolate Cake is delicious. The accompaniments have changed flavors on us, but both times were heavenly!
Alright, I'm all caught up with the plans! I am so excited that you're staying at the BC! I know that is a special place for you guys.
Great ADRs! I think you are going to LOVE Cali Grill. We ate there for the first time on our family trip and it was our favorite meal of the trip. In fact, it was so good that my father (who has eaten at great restaurants all around the world) said it was possibly his favorite dish ever!
I would love to try the Boardwalk or YC someday, but it just seemed appropriate, staying at our Disneymoon resort on our anniversary trip! I'm definitely thinking whatever I eat there will be between the pork and the filet, they both sound soooo good! Maybe I'll get one and Brandon can get the other? Although I think he's going to be stuffing himself with sushi!
))!
If I had my way, we'd skip the rental all together and do Magical Express for the first time and use the buses/monorail or walk, but Brandon doesn't want to. Although he thinks we're staying at CBR. He might change his mind if I tell him about BC, but I don't want to ruin the surprise!

Checking into Beach Club and going to Cape May sounds like our first day plans! 
I don't know why I chose a jester smiley... I was looking for something that looked like he was going to a party! 
I hate that our travel days are sooo long that we can't enjoy any disney magic until the next day 
but we are used to it. I guess what makes upf or that is that we are staying 19 days this time!! so i can't complain too much but your first day just sounds so magical!!! and yes those rooms are POR are SO gorgeous!!! wow!
]Free dining is always nice, but paying for food OOP is SO hard for us! We did it in December and were both like "never again!" It's nice to have it all prepaid for. Except for all the alcohol. And appetizers, if we get them. They should just have a super dining plan that includes alcohol and appetizers.
I tried to talk Brandon into a TiW card in December, but he didn't get it either, so I didn't bother with it.
See, I feel like paying for a buffet is better than paying for regular meal, because you pay a flat rate, and you don't have to add anything else on...it could be dangerous at Le Cellier for us...Brandon tends to drink a lot there, sometimes he gets 2 appetizers, I have to get the soup, then there are the entrees and desserts!
Maybe we can pay for Mama Melrose's?
(edit: heh, obvious solution! Put buffets last and see if the costs of the other restaurants are more/less than the fixed costs of the buffets!)Hi everyone! I just realized I have only 8 weeks til my trip, so I gotta get going on this PTR! I'm going to start doing my day by day plans now, although I'm trying to leave this trip a little unplanned so we have time to do whatever we want, and so we have pool time, something I never really schedule in, and we end up skipping it all together!
(Before I start, though...has everyone seen the new Royal Guest rooms at Port Orleans Riverside that are now open?
If not, check out this video:
Royal Guest Rooms
Aren't they SOOO beautiful??? If we take our Fall trip this year, I will definitely be staying in one of those! I love the headboards with the fireworks!
Ok anyway, moving on!
