I was just wondering a few things about this restaurant. we're on the reg dining plan (1 TS, 1 QS, 1 snack). I know this place is 2TS, how many courses do we get? is it just the main course? I wasnt sure because the menu has "first course" and then "main course".

Also, how long is dinner? I heard 1 1/2 - 2 hours? we have ressies for 545pm. Just trying to plan what we should do afterwards...go back to MK or go to resort and swim.

Thanks!

I'm not sure of the dining plan. I know when we were there Thursday I only wanted the flatbread appetizer and the yellowfin sushi. The waiter brought me the tuna entree (even though I said yellowfin tuna 3 ways sushi). He brought me the correct item. DH and DS had soup or salad and entree and we were there about 1 hour 45 minutes. You can check-in early but the elevator doesn't start running until 5:00. You can then sit in the bar/lounge until they start seating at 5:20.

On the regular dining plan you get main course and dessert. Any appetisers you will need to pay for unless you are on the premium dining plan

Two courses - entree and dessert, plus a non-alcoholic beverage. You can order anything on the regular dining plan from the first course menu, a flatbread, or sushi - but it will count as your entree. To get the 2 credits worth it's usually suggested you order something more expensive.

All signatures on the basic dining plan (1TS, 1CS, 1 snack) include an entree, dessert and non-alcoholic beverage. I personally don't find there to be any value in using 2TS credits on a signature meal (when on the basic dining plan). If you are skipping appitizers the meal could be about an hour. If you plan on having appitizers figure on adding about 20 minutes or so. We find that earlier signature ADR's tend to move a lot quicker than the later ones.

What time is Wishes the night you are there? Is it an adult only meal or are there kids? The reason I ask is that even though you won't be in CG durring Wishes with your ADR, you are allowed to return for Wishes that night, just hang on to your dinner receipt. If you are adults only, you could stop off at each of the other monorail resorts and grab a drink. You could also head to MK and take a walk up and down MSUSA, then decide as Wishes gets closer if you want to head back to CR or just watch while in MK.
