Do you tend to stick with familiar or try new?

[Simba's Mom]

In theory, I always say we're going to try a few new resturaunts each trip. But then there's reality-I'm so afraid of trying someplace, not liking it, but having to pay for what I didn't like! Also, there are so many places I've been to that I do like, that I tend not to take the time to try someplace new.

As long as there's restaurants we haven't tried, we rarely repeat. We're about to run out of signature restaurants for dinner & will soon be forced to repeat. There's quite a few TS we haven't eaten in for breakfast or lunch, so it will be a while before we repeat the non-signature restaurants. We have eaten at some of them twice, but there have been many years in between. To this point, we've only dined in two restaurants I feel would be worthy of repeating two trips in a row.

We like to mix it up. We keep a couple of our favorites and add a few new restaurants to try out as well.

 

[Eeyore Girl]

When my hubby and I go we always try to get to 1 new place to eat. We have finally completed all the places in Epcot with the exception of the England's sit down dining. We also eat at the quick places which our favorite is Cosmic Rays in MK.

Both. We have our must do's.....but we also try to do several new ones. Problem is........... we keep adding to our must do list! LOL

 

[aripantaloon]

We mostly stick to our favorites, but add a couple of new ones each trip. It's not that we don't like to try new things, but when you really want to eat that certain something that is only at a favorite restaurant and you only go to Disney every so often, you just can't pass it up to try something completely new.

 

[Eeyore98]

We have one must-do (Le Cellier) and the rest are always new.

I'm sure that ratio will change as our number of trips increase, but so far LC is the only must-repeat fave that we've encountered (though Jiko was close!).

Being empty nesters and living in Michigan my wife and I like to go to Disney 5 to 6 times during the winter each year. Our rule is we must try at least one new restaurant each trip. I think we still have at least 50 to try. On our last trip we tried the breakfast buffet at Fresh Mediterranean Market Restaurant at Walt Disney World Dolphin Resort we were very impressed. Even got a 20% DVC discount.

 

[MoonFaerie]

Both. We have our faves that we always do - Raglan Road, Kona, V&A (when it's in the budget), Sci-Fi (kids choice), but we also try new places each trip.

I'm not an adventurous diner, anywhere, so I find something I like and stick with it, even menu items. I will try a new restaurant if it offers my kind of basic food. The changes at WDW in recent years has made it more difficult since many of my old favorites are no longer favorites. I still manage to find good dining, but it's not as plentiful as it used to be.

 

[staceycrouton]

We also like to do a bit of both. This Fall we will be trying Mama Melrose, Hollywood and Vine breakfast, Garden Grill, Yak & Yeti and Fulton's Crab House for the first time. We also have our must-do favorites. We love 'Ohana, Chefs de France, Teppan Edo, T-Rex, Le Cellier, Crystal Palace and Tony's (always our 1st dinner even though it is hit or miss). We are also planning on Cape May breakfast, Donald's Safari breakfast and Cinderella's Royal Table dinner. We have done all of these before but do not necessarily eat at these places each trip. Our 180 day mark is coming up on May 3rd and hopefully we'll get all of these Fingers crossed!

Dh likes to stick with the familiar but this year, we're branching out and trying some new restaurants - finally!!!!!!

 

[Coconuts]

After many trips, we have whittled our must-do list down to 3 places, and I'm even thinking we may cut another one out. There are so many places that we have yet to try, and want to, that we have to cut out some old favorites to make room for them.

 

[Thee Incredibles]

We are definately going to try new ones this trip and we're so excited! A few new to us are Ohana's, Flame Tree BBQ, Le Celliers, and Tangierine Cafe. We always do the Garden Grill, not necessarily the food but we love the character interaction and the atmosphere!

 

[mommyrosa2]

We definitely do both. We each pick a favorite that we must eat at and try something new on each trip. This August, our favorites will be: Yachstman, Cape May Dinner, Sci-Fi lunch, O'hana and Tappan Edo. Our new ones will be: Via Napoli and Portobello

This is our favorite too! I love the mushroom filet and DS and I love the pretzel bread lol. He also loves the chocolate moose which I think isn't on the menu anymore??

Wow that is a lot of planning! You must have a nice long stay at WDW...good for you! Good luck at planning all of those...I am only going 7 nights and I am having such issues...lol

The "Chocolate" Moose dessert is on the lunch menu but not on the dinner menu...FYI. This is one of my favorite desserts in Disney, with the S'Mores dessert from 50's PTC as my other favorite .

My original silly goal for our October trip was to try all new places however with us staying at AKV, I'm 100% sure the kids will want to go to Boma. Other than that, our others, will all be new: including F&W, Rose and Crown, The Turf Club, Saana, 50s, and Be Our Guest.
