Critique my Special Occasion ADR Wishlist?

[Keels]

Hey, all! I'm a frequent Disney-goer ... so, I tend to go for the places I love!

But ADR day is coming up and I want to make the BEST ADRs I can for a special trip for my BFF. She hasn't really experienced Disney as an adult, and this trip is going to be a celebration of a LOT of things - we're both running Dopey as part of Marathon Weekend; she turns 30 two weeks after the Marathon and this is her first big trip as a "free woman" following a nasty divorce.

She loves wine, cheese and sushi but has serious food allergies - gluten and poultry being the two biggest ones. And while knowing that Disney can cater any menu to that (she experienced that first hand during Marathon Weekend, but felt bad after a couple of meals that the chef would drop what he was doing to come out and talk to her when she could just pick around things), I want to give her the best, most amazing dining experience possible.

So - here's what I'm thinking! Please add any suggestions or thoughts for improvement!

Wednesday, Jan. 4 - Expo
Lunch - Tutto Gusto
Dinner - California Grill (during Wishes)

Thursday, Jan. 5 - 5K Day!!
Lunch - Yak & Yeti
Dinner - Cinderella's Royal Table

Friday, Jan. 6 - 10K Day
Lunch - Tokyo Dining
Dinner - Il Mulino

Saturday, Jan. 7 - Half Marathon Day
Brunch - Captain's Grille
Dinner - Hollywood Brown Derby

Sunday, Jan. 8 - Marathon Day!!
Lunch - Teppan Edo
Dinner - DATW (And EATW)
Illuminations Cruise

I wouldn't do both Teppan Edo and Tokyo Dining, but that's me.

Suggestions for alternatives?

I am told Le Cellier can do very well for gluten-free. Marrakesh and Spice Road Table both are a bit different than anything else you're doing, as does Rose & Crown.

You've got two Italian, and the two sibling Japan table services in the list, so that's why I'd lean to maybe mixing it up a bit. But you know your friend best, and maybe she really would love doing Japan twice, and if that's true, DO IT. She's your bestie, not mine!

We did Marrakesh and Spice Road this year, so I was trying to mix it up! I'll swap out one for Le Cellier. Thanks!

I just feel like there is some place that's completely awesome that I'm totally forgetting ...

I would also suggest nixing one of the two Italian places - those can be disappointing when you are needing to avoid gluten (at least they are for me). You could ask your friend to look at this site to see what looks good to her : http://www.glutenfreedairyfreewdw.com/dining-resources/menus/

I figured the two Italian places were a form of carb loading, given the timing.
