critique my dining plans

[srwarden1928]

This may not belong here, but I am comfortable with my touringplans and want to see what you think about my dining plans before my 90 day window.

We will be three adults traveling in June and grateful for the 4/3 deal. We are staying at Pop. One person has never been to Disney before, one has been twice (last year), and one has been eight times but mostly many years ago. None of us have ever stayed onsite before. The two who have been to Disney went to Beaches & Cream, and of course passed through the Contemporary on the monorail. These are our ONLY experiences with resorts. Two of us have eaten at Marrakesh, Biergarten, 50s Prime Time, and Hollywood & Vine before.

We are not big breakfast people and want to make rope drop often. So we will generally have breakfast in our room or stop by the food court.

Wow, I think you have a great line up!!! Many of the places you're planning on eating at are our favorites, especially Sunday and Monday. You should arrive at Boma VERY hungry. I really don't enjoy buffets that much but Boma is wonderful. I usually have to be rolled back to my room after dinner there. And California Grill is probably my all time favorite - what great food and a perfect view!!! Have a great time and you will definately eat well!!!

I appreciate the comments. Most of the ADRs this time will be our first time to try this restaurant.

You hit many of our faves too! Sounds like a fun trip.

it looks really good! i would suggest when you take the boat to POR, you should go see Bob Jackson @ POR riverside @ the river roost. go to his website and i believe he plays there on thurs. nights @ 8:30! we have seen him like 4 times and he gets everyone involved and it is a fun time!! our 8yr dd loves it! they serve appetizers and drinks too! all of your adrs look good.
have fun!

It all looks great but Monday ROCKS. Our two favorites in one day. Not sure what time your California Grill ADR is but we went last year during fireworks display time at MK - gorgeous view from our table. They also have outdoor patio (just for viewing, not for eating) and people will congregate out there from the restaurant to watch wishes. I believe they allow you to go back up to view the fireworks on the patio if you have eaten at the Cali gril that night.(must show receipt) Be sure to check it out!

Thanks for the replies. I am feeling better about our selections all the time. We will be trying many restaurants that are new for DW and I this time, as well as being DNs first WDW trip. How did she get to be 21yo and no one has taken her to Disney yet? I secretly hope she loves it as much as I do.
