I don't always pay attention:ssst:
However he may be correct :idea: and I need assistance which to keep/which to dump...

50's PT lunch

Garden grill lunch

Diamond horseshoe lunch

Trattoria al forno dinner

Boma dinner

Captains grille breakfast

Yachtsman steakhouse dinner

Narcoossees dinner

Skipper canteen lunch

Brown Derby lunch

Coral reef lunch

Paddlefish lunch

Plaza lunch


Although not in any particular order-the first 2 reservations are my personal choices and definitely remaining:bored:
I'm a most selective eater (medical and picky!) and I loved my meatless meatballs & vege meatloaf.
Dh will eat anything-literally anything at all
Dmil loves pork, lamb,steak,chicken but eats fish on Fridays...
 
Although you may think you don't want to do them all you never know how you'll feel nearer the time, and which ones you want. If you drop them you may not get them again, so if I was you I'd keep them all and cancel the day before each one arrives if you don't want it. It's very hard to get one for the Plaza so I wouldn't cancel it just yet IMHO
 

I've never heard anything good about Diamond Horseshoe so I'd probably drop that first.
 
We are staying at ssr,pofq & offsite.
Our trip is 14 nights & CG breakfast is a late start/lie in day.
 
I need to see your schedule. I.E. which restaurants are you doing on which days to venture an opinion.

That's not good at all.
I've read of long waits-but our ADR is 11.30am-so Im hopeful that won't be an issue.
If indeed we go!
Everyone has different experiences & different expectations. I've always had a decent meal at Coral Reef (like the mahi mahi & have seen some good steaks arrive at neighbouring tables). I always book the 11:30am lunch slot & arrive a good 15 mins beforehand. I check in at the podium & try to politely chat up the CM a bit as she opens up the podium. I politely ask for a table right at the tank & they try their best to make that happen. It helps if you are eating on a slower week day. I have had good to great luck with the 11:30am time. 70% of the time I am right at the tank. The balance of the time I have been seated at the next table in from the tank but still a great view (even if very close to neighbours). Coral Reef is one of those places you need to try on your own to see if it works for you.

Why is diamond horseshoe so bad?

I've yet to read a review that it was anything more than meh. And it's always available which usually tells you something about popularity. No personal experience I've just avoided it based on reviews. Plenty of other good dining options.
 
I think they look good tho I'd consider somewhere else in MK...( diamond horseshoe) (or if u think you d enjoy... try lunch at the poly..)
I'd not cancel Anything till u need too...
and then re evaluate.
Enjoy ur trip!!

We have had some early lunches and early dinners at CR and were seated pretty quickly with good food and service.

I agree with Amelia about keeping what you have.
 
Thanks for all the input so far.

We've ate at kona and GFC previously which is why we chose diamond horseshoe for a new experience..
 
Honestly - I tihnk they look pretty good. Id probably drop diamond horseshoe, but the rest look very nice
 
Where are you staying? If not at Boardwalk area, I'd drop CG breakfast.

Drop Diamond Horseshoe lunch.

Just curious why you would drop the CG breakfast? I going for the firs time next month. Is it only because of the inconvenience to get there is you are not in the boardwalk area, or something wrong with the food? !!
