Dining with adults only

[Mrbyers126]

My family and I will be going to Disney in March. All 5 of us are adults (youngest 19). Any recommendations on just eat restaurants? We all will be on the DxDP. We plan on saving our breakfast credits and my mom and I splitting meals so we can do as many signature meals as possible. Thanks in advance!

So, are you looking for suggestions on signature restaurants? My DH and I love Narcoossee's and are looking forward to eating there again in December. It's extra magical if you time it out so that you can also watch the Electrical Water Pageant and the MK fireworks from their deck. The servers totally understand that those are a draw and allow you to leave your table for a bit if you'd like to watch those shows. I highly recommend the full lobster, steak, and almond-crusted cheesecake!

Having never traveled to the World with kids, my recommendations for signatures are: Yachtsman, California Grill and Artist Point. Fulton's at Downtown Disney (Disney Springs) use to be our absolute favorite next to Yachtsman, but I believe it was replaced with Paddlefish, which we have not tried.

Yes I'm looking for suggestions for ANY restaurant we can use or credits. We will be there March 11-17, Sunday-Saturday (don't leave til late on that Saturday). Didn't know if the dinner shows were worth it for 5 adults either.

Turf Club at Saratoga Springs! They make a delicious steak and then afterward you can head over to Disney Springs via boat/walk for shopping!

Successful use of the DxDDP without tying yourselves up with 3 sit down meals per day means that you'll be eating 2 larger meals, one of which is a signature. With the amount of food that's standard on any Disney table service meal, and the two snack credits per person per day, there is no way you will ever go hungry.

My wife and I did the DxDDP for 5 consecutive years. We'd typically use a snack credit to grab a pastry before we headed off to the park *if* we felt hungry at breakfast (which we ordinarily were not). We'd then have an early lunch, usually 11:30 or 12:00 at a table service in the park, followed by a late, usually 7:30pm or 8pm signature dinner.

It's hard to go wrong with any of the signature restaurants, with the exception (flame suit on) of LeCellier, which is a signature due to price alone. We've had great meals and experiences at California Grill, Narcoossee's, Citrico's, Artist Point, Monsieur Paul, Yachtsman, Hollywood Brown Derby, and Jiko.

I already posted, but now that you've said you would like to hear about all restaurants (not just signatures), I would like to suggest Liberty Tree Tavern (MK) for the Patriot's Platter (all you can eat Thanksgiving-esque meal), Homecomin' (Disney Springs) for fried chicken and southern food, and Via Napoli (Epcot) for pizza. We never miss them! If you're looking for quick service, I've never had a bad meal at Wolfgang Puck Express (Disney Springs).

We don't have kids so when we travel to Disney it is always solo Our favorites are California Grill, Hoop Dee Doo Revue, Chefs De France, Yachtsman Steakhouse and the Brown Derby. We are really looking forward to trying some new places this year.

Tiffins in Animal Kingdom is an awesome restaurant and a great use of 2 credits! With its location in the park, it is great for a midday break without the travel time!

The food is spectacular too!

Some of our faves are: Ohana, Trails End, Whispering Canyon Cafe, 1900 PF dinner, Trattoria al Forno, Via Napoli, Hoop dee doo & Homecomin'

Is Hoop Dee Doo Revue ok for all adults? Is it something we all would enjoy? Ages 63,31,25,20,19. We are doing the DxDP for convenience and so we can dine when and where we want without worrying about price. We realize we could eat cheaper OOP but that's not why we're using it. Thank you all for responses I love writing them down and will be using them! What's the best breakfast options without losing to much time in the parks?

I think HDD is great fun regardless of a person's age. It's a really fun, corny show, the food is good, and it is a nice change from the usual WDW restaurants. When we went the first time I was really concerned that we wouldn't really care for the corniness - it didn't seem like our style but I wanted to give it a try, I was more curious about it than anything. We all LOVED it!!! I think it would be a great option given the wide range of ages in your party.

Oh yeah, it is a great time, and you get to play a washboard with a spoon...just sayin

We have taken my parents before so it was 4 adults, 2 in their 60's and 2 in their 30's and we all had a great time. It's campy humor and jokes but it will make you laugh and of course you get cornbread and all the chocolate milk you can drink. I think it was mentioned before, but you can get Tier 1 tickets with the DDP if you go to the later show but there is really not a bad seat in the house in my opinion so if you choose the earlier shows Tier 2 and Tier 3 are fine also.

If you are up for a little adventurous eating, I would recommend Tiffins. Well, it's not super adventurous, but they definitely have some unique things on their menu.

You'll get plenty of recommendations, so I would highly suggest looking at menus prior to making your final decision. Some will look better than others. Once you've narrowed your focus a bit, I'm sure you would get many responses about your "finalists."

Here are places I'd recommend:
Artist Point - rarely crowded, excellent food & service, lovely ambiance
IL Mulino - lovely place with perhaps the best Italian food you'll find at Disney
Sanaa - A great spot for lunch or dinner; the bread service alone is worth going for
Jiko - Superb menu and wine list; friendly service; gorgeous restaurant
Morimoto Asia - Asian fusion fare in a unique setting; the buri bop is great dish
The Boathouse - Superb setting for good food and quality service; tables can be a little close together
Tiffins - Unique food (not terribly adventurous) in a casually stylish place; good bar, too

And pretty much any Signature beyond those is good to solid with my exceptions being Monsieur Paul and Le Cellier.
