Hi,
I really could use some assistance finalizing my ADR's for our upcoming trip. We are doing the Deluxe plan because we like to try the 2TS restaurants, and we like the choice between counter service and table service.
Let me share a bit of background information that you might find useful in helping me narrow down my choices. We have been to WDW several times since my son was born: he swears it has been over 20, but I haven't kept track. My DH is picky (no sauces, meat and potatoes, chocolate), my DS13 is picky, but considers himself something of a foodie (loves some fresh herbs, likes any sauces, etc. pureed, has lots of food allergies for which WDW restaurants always bend over backwards to accommodate), my DC's13 daughter can be finicky about what she will eat but she likes almost every category of food (however, only with "Brand Name" condiments - Hidden Valley ranch dressing and Lays French Onion dip- do I need to say more), and I am fine with most things (love gourmet and hole-in-the wall food). We like a mixture of buffets (to see characters and make sure everyone finds something to eat) and nice sit down restaurants.
Here are our ADR choices-
Saturday- The Wave, Yachtsman, Citricos- leaning toward Citricos here
Sunday (Halloween Party)- 4:50 at 1900 Park Fare (this may be too late to get in some rides before the HP) or 3:35 at Crystal Palace
Monday- O'Hana's for late breakfast because of HP the night before; Jiko's or Tutto Italia for dinner, leaning toward Jiko's because this was the only night I could get it
Tuesday- late lunch at Tusker House; dinner is difficult- Kouzzini, Coral Reef, or California Grill (9:15 but will be able to see the HP fireworks)
Wednesday- late lunch at Tutto Italia or Via Napoli; Narcoossee's (get to watch the regular fireworks)
Thursday (Illumination's Cruise)- Yachtsman
Friday- California Grill or 1900 Park Fare (do we want to eat at California Grill twice- it takes so long- or force the kids to do another character meal, which I love)
Saturday- 1900 Park Fare or The Wave
I would love any thoughts or feedback. Thanks!!
