Askerhaus or Biergarten? Flying Fish or Spoodles?

[DaddyBrady]

We're taking my parents to Walt Disney World in May for their 50th wedding anniversary, and I'm beginning to plan our ADRs. We've been several times and try to mix some perennial favorites with new places. I need some input on two nights in particular.

Askerhaus or Biergarten? My father is Danish, so Norwegian food is pretty close to home. My mother is German. (If you suspect that the result of this union would be someone who is opinionated and stubborn, you'd be correct.) Anyway.

I'm concerned that Askerhaus might be too full of princesses, while my partner, never the most sociable of people, isn't keen on the idea of sharing his table "with strangers." Thoughts? Is the food better at one place or the other? Service better? Should we explore alternatives? (For the record, we've been at Le Cellier several times, and I like it but my partner doesn't. We were at Chefs de France with my parents a few years ago.)

Flying Fish or Spoodles? We'll be staying at Beach Club or BoardWalk (the gods of the 7-month DVC booking window willing), and on this night, want to have dinner before heading over to La Nouba. Which would be better for a nice, but not too leisurely paced meal before that? I haven't seen anything at Downtown Disney that particularly floats my boat, which is why I was looking over here.

We're also planning:

• 'Ohana
• Boma
• Yachtsman Steakhouse
• Hollywood Brown Derby
• California Grill - the final night

Appreciate the input. Thanks for helping me make this trip special!

Biergarten is a definate winner

I am not a fish guy myself, but I heard that the Flyin Fish is excellent. Spoodles is fine but nothing great so you may be better off with the seafood joint

Have fun

A few thoughts:

Norway vs Germany
Maybe you should try Morocco , that way you don't show favortism towards one parent or the other and your partner doesn't have to sit with "strangers" or have his picture taken with princesses (any other WS restaurant could work, Tutto Italia gets pretty good reviews)

Flying Fish or Spoodles
I have not tried Flying Fish yet, but have read many good reviews. My only concern would be that because it is a Signature restaurant it would probably be a longer dinner. We've had good meals at Spoodles, so I think it would be a good choice and would allow you to get over to DTD for LaNouba.
