Date Night

[Dizzy Lizzie]

This coming Wednesday will be the 60 day dinning reservation. I can't be believe we're almost 60 days out!

I'm going with my family and my boyfriend. Now I dont plan on eating at sit down restaurant every day. My mom picked out two restaurants for lunch. Space 220 and Beaches and Cream. So I'm not stressing over dinning reservations.

However I would like one night for my boyfriend and I to have a date night. What are good restaurants for a couple? I was originally thinking Be Our Guest, but I read some mixed reviews. We do have a budget. So restuarants like the California Grill are out. I looked at menu and saw the prices.

Be our Guest is great, but likely also out of your budget(I think it was almost $100 each after tax and tip and we didn't even have alcohol)

We find the best dining is usually at the resorts, not the parks(although Epcot has some great options like Le Cellier or Teppan Edo)

I'd point you towards Ale and Compass, Yachtsman, Il Mulino, or Narcoossee's as good options, although again they are all a bit pricey(it is Disney after all)

I'll give those a look! Yeah I'm starting to lean toward the resort restaurants.

I’d avoid any priced fixed menus or buffets.

Check out some of the Disney Spring restaurants. Lots of options there, plus it’s always nice to walk around a bit after dinner.

I would look at the DS restaurants - there are a lot of really good options there with pricing that will be less than a WDW signature restaurant - we really like the Boathouse and Raglan Road is a lot of fun. We also enjoy Morimoto Asia. I would look at some of the menus and go from there.

If you would like a resort restaurant with more reasonable prices, I would consider Ale & Compass (you could then walk around the Boardwalk) or Steakhouse 71.

If you prefer a livelier atmosphere, however, I would go to Disney Springs - you could even go bowling there or go on Characters in Flight.

I was looking at Disney Springs as well. Thanks for the tips everyone!

I'm starting to lean toward Boathouse. The prices arent too bad.

Most of our favorites would be signature restaurants.
Raglan Road and Jaleo are fun in DS.
Consider Steakhouse 71.
Lots of really good options in Disney Springs.

How about a lovely romantic night strolling around world showcase, and either making a meal at the booths, or get a few plates and drinks from booths and then dinner at whatever restaurant is in your price range? Le cellier or the hacienda or spice table all feel romantic and rose and crown with a fireworks view or tutti italia might fit the bill. Best of all, you could be in a park just the 2 of you. Or start with the booths at Epcot and then monorail to MK for the last hour or so before closing and get on some rides with low wait times. The most romantic time my hubby and I ever had was ditching the kids and riding HM, Pirates, JC at night, and Big Thunder 3 times in a row, and then getting Casey’s just as the park closed and seeing the park magically empty while we dawdled out. Cheap food, priceless memories.
