Ok my two cents...Love raglan road, jiko and boma. Never been big on Beirgarten or Crystal Palace.
DF loves 'Ohana and despite bad reviews, I have only had one bad meal there.
Kona was a disaster last time we went, although in the past it was amazing!!
Not sure about the tours though!
Ohana would prob be my first to cut, but we already told people we would do a group dinner there, ugh!! Kona is my favourite (coconut chicken + lapu lapu = heaven). This is too hard!
i would cut the "behind the seeds" tour, you can go on the "living with the land" ride and see the same thing. (my roommate used to work the ride, thats what she said.)
as for food...... i dunno, they are all really really good picks!
Well, at least they all look good
The only one of these I haven't done is the Wanyama Safari - if that's the one you can only go on if you're staying Concierge at AK, then I say don't cut it! Even if it's the one that Concierge guests from any resort can go on, I'd have trouble cutting it because it's still sorta exclusive.
Of the other two, I can highly recommend Behind the Seeds. For one thing, it's cheap, but for another it is really interesting. The Land ride is so boring now and you don't really learn anything. Behind the Seeds is the way the Land ride*should* be - you get to see all the hydroponic plants and learn how they are grown, plus the fish hatchery, plus you get to taste something they've grown there (I mean, in the hydroponic garden, not in the fish hatchery!

). It just feels like you learn and experience a lot for the money.
The safari is for any guest staying at AKL, so yes, it is exclusive, which pretty much means this might be my only chance! Plus, I love animals, and it is an activity I can do at disney while sitting!
I think we would really love the Seeds tour. I loved the "ride" and found myself wanting more info...so when I saw that you could do a tour there (which I found in your TR) I knew I wanted to do it! The money saved cutting it isn't really much either.
We also enjoyed the Segway tour, but if you're a speed demon, it's kinda frustrating.

Plus, you could save it for another trip - or even do it on your anniversary so you could be back near your wedding site at exactly the time you were married there, like we did!
That's a great idea!! I think I may cut that out for this trip, we are already heading to Epcot a lot, so it will leave the morning open for something else.
I'd cut Big River Grille - you can go to a brew pub anywhere - Biergarten; either Tusker House or Boma, since they serve basically the same food; and Sanaa if you don't like Indian food (but of course keep it if you love Indian food). Ohana is *very* frenetic, so if you're not into noisy and crowded, you can cut that. Crystal Palace you could cut if you aren't that into characters, cuz the food is reportedly just OK.
My two cents!
I agree with Big River Grille. DF is really into beer (not in being a drunk way, he is like an actual connoisseur, lol! So we can just go there for a beer at night. I think we will get rid of Boma and keep tusker house, I have been to both, and I like Tusker a lot better! And I will have to choose between Crystal Palace and Ohana, I don't think we need both.
Thanks
I tried to book the Wanyama Safari last week but was quoted $170 each so I decided against it.
Yah, it is expensive! But, DF and I figure our meal would be $100 each anyway, once we add apps, main course and wine (we love wine, which you may realize by now if you read my pj, lol). So really, it would just be like $70 for the actual tour, which doesn't seem to bad. I think I am just going to go for this one, but not tell DF, and surprise him!
Thanks ladies!!!
