Anniversary Trip

[webbmom]

We have not been to Disney without children in over 10 years. And in the last 10 years we have only been to Disney about 4 times. My DH and I are finally getting away, staying at POR with a dinning plan. We have not made any ADR's and we leave in 5 weeks. ANY suggestions are welcome. Thanks in advance. Our trip will be 4 days 3 nights.

For a trip that is coming up that soon, I would go to the online dining on the Walt Disney World site and plug in a restaurant that you would like to try. If it's not available, it will pull up others within that time frame and you can see if one of those interests you. The more popular restaurants (LeCellier, etc., will be hard to come by).

We have only been without kids (we leave the baby at my parents until she is older), and really enjoy all types of restaurants except for the ones that have face characters. It is just too weird for us to try and hold a conversation with a character with no kid to pull attention. That being said, you should go ahead and get online reservations. If you can't get what you want, go ahead and make other ressies anyway, and keep trying. You can always cancel what you don't want if you get what you do.
Best values we have found on the dining plan:
Le Cellier
Tutto Italia
Ohana (right before the fireworks)
Chefs de France
Wolfgang Puck's Cafe
Teppan Ido

Places that were decent (value and/or food)
Kona Cafe
Biergarten
Kouzzina
Yak and Yeti

Places we won't go back:
Nine Dragons
Garden Grill

DH and I just did 4 days/3 nights at POR with DXDDP for our anniversary last month! Congrats! Some of our favorite meals were Yak & Yeti, Plaza, and SciFi. Not the most glamorous, but we liked them. We also loved MSB for breakfast, and the food courts at POR and POFQ were good. The most upscale dining we did was Chefs de France and while were impressed by the beautiful restaurant, we found the food to be subpar- the filet and chicken were dry and bland, the veggies tastless. We did like the desserts, though.

DH and I did an anniversary trip in Sept and stayed at the Poly. We at at Kona (soooo yummy), Chefs de France and The Wave. We only went to MK and Epcot, so we geared our ressies around the parks/hotel area.

I have to say it was the best, most relaxing trip to Disney! Completely different touring that what we did with the boys. Have an awesome trip!

My husband and I went in April for our Anny and one of our best meals was at Jiko. So I vote for that one!

Thank you all for your suggestions. I guess now I have some work to do trying to get reservations. I am guessing waiting till we get there is not a good idea?

Check out the restaurants on the plan and check the menus and start making your ADRs. Only me and DW now for the last 4 trips to DW so we plan mostly around on what and where to eat. We prefer mostly EPCOT restaurants so we have to have the hopper option on the park passes. We now plan around where to eat and then hit the rides, when our 2 children we young and not grown up we planned the rides and then where to eat.
O I should add our favorites
Le Cellier
Coral Reef
Chefs De France
San Angle
Rose and Crown
Teppen Edo
Kona
O'Hanna
Show time and food the HOOP-DEE-DOO

This close you might not be able to get an ADR for some of the super popular places, but you can probably still get into some of the lesser known locations, especially in the resorts. I would definitely recommend:

Grand Floridian Cafe - 1 TS credit, usually not very crowded, beautiful setting (whole wall of windows looking out into the GF courtyard), good food, nice upscale casual Victorian feel without being stuffy. Any meal would be good here, but we especially like breakfast - the maple vanilla french toast is fan-tastic. Great French onion soup for lunch, too.

Kona Cafe in the Poly for breakfast if you can get in is also very good and relaxing.

If you want to go to a signature restaurant for a nice date night meal I would suggest Jiko in the Animal Kingdom Lodge - best meal we've had on property from food to service to atmosphere.

Victoria and Alberts would be the absolute best, but is also quite pricy, but if you don't mind shelling out a few hundred for dinner - no dining plan accepted - it is the only 5 start restaurant in central Florida and worth every penny if you can swing it from what everyone says. We're saving that for our 10 year anniversary in a few years.
