I've been thinking about ADRs and I'm still almost a month out from the 60 days when I can actually make them I don't know about Christmas Eve/Day because we're not there at that time.

Personally I'm going to be looking for Chef's Table at Napa Rose, assuming they still have it, Blue Bayou, WOC Dessert Party and Trader Sam's for sure. Not sure what else yet.

I've done Carthay Circle and have very mixed feelings about it. Food was very good and the setting is lovely, but to me, it's alot of $$ for something that still has the ambience of a theme park restaurant because of the large numbers of young kids there. We went a few years ago since we happened to be in DL for our anniversary and thought that would be a good choice; unfortunately, many parents chose to let their kids run around as if they were still on Tom Sawyer Island and that kinda ruins what otherwise would have the feel of a nice, upscale restaurant. Many tables with crying, overly tired kids. One family had zero issues with letting their little boy crawl around under our table. There tends to be less of an issue with that kind of thing at Napa Rose in my experience. Last time we went, we sat in the bar area at Carthay. It's very small but you can still get some food there.

This is what I was looking for! I teach in an elementary school and I know we're in a Disney park...but lord I can't do the kids running wild in a sit-down restaurant

We are definitely trying to get Trader Sam's and then Din Tai Fung. I got a Trader Sam's last trip but my stepdaughter is underage and it was at 9 pm so we ended up canceling. Debating the WOC Dessert Party too. I love it and haven't seen the new show. These were great ideas!!
