Don't know if this forum is a blessing or a curse ;)

I am spending WAY too much time on here!!! I've made a reservation at Boma, then cancelled; Coral Reef then cancelled; Teppen Edo, then cancelled...you guys are killing me!! I'm realizing that I have to take everyone's opinion with a grain of salt.... there's someone that hates or loves EVERY restaurant...

I currently have ADRs for:

Le Cellier
Raglan Road
Tutto Italia
Crystal Palace
50's Prime Time
Narcoosee's
Ohana

I WILL be happy with these, I WILL be happy with these, I WILL be happy with these...

You HAVE INDEED learned the secret ... everyone has different tastes and everyone has a different experience at dining locations.

I have only eaten at two of the places you have ADRs at now. Le Cellier -- LOVED IT. 'Ohana - was our (DH & myself) first dinner at WDW so it holds a special place in my heart. The menu has changed since we were there but I LOVED the atmosphere ... and the fruity drinks with umbrellas were a plus too!

We enjoyed every restaurant we ate at ... some were better than others either in service or atmosphere but I am glad I tried ones people dissed on the DIS boards because we had good luck.

Have fun ... don't agonize ... keep your ADRs as they are!

PS: Have you looked at the pics in the dining reviews! OMG - Food Porn is very addictive!

I am all for reading all these views but in the end you have to go where you want to, and then draw your own conclusion, I had stated this on a previous post, there was sooo many mixed reviews for Coral Reef and all these great Reviews for Boma, well I loved Coral Reef and Boma was not my favorite so here is my word of advice What may be good to some may be bad to others what may be bad to some may be good to others! The only true way to know if it is good or bad is for you to try it for your self,I hope that you enjoy your ressies, and dont you change them anymore

You're going to Ohana's?? Didn't you hear?




Never been there. Just joking with ya.

I have learned you must try it too. I have posted a few negative comments about restaurants and maybe I shouldn't but if someone asks...............

This forum is a curse for me. I found so many deals, shirt disigns, and places to eat and the foods to try.

I have been doing the same thing, everytime I read a dining review I keep changing my ressies

I'm also spending too much time here. I also find myself saying "I found out on the dis board..." way too much. I think my family thinks I'm crazy!!

I think the trick is to go with a wide variety of places. It will be hit or miss, but at least you'll get the flavor. Sometimes it's less about the food and more about the atmosphere (for us, that's CRT and sometimes Chef Mickey). You're list sounds pretty good...it's makng me hungry!

The forums are wonderful, but you are right. There isn't much that everyone agrees on. In fact, there is only one restaurant that I can think of that everyone who has been there agrees that it's incredible food. Some may disagree that it's worth the expense, but all agree the food is amazing!

Beyond that one (very expensive) place, you will find that there are those that like and dislike every single restaurant on property.

Read the menus, see what appeals to you and fits with your budget and schedule, and go there. Don't waiver. I quite often found that the most recommended ended up being my biggest disappointments and those that were under the radar were my best experiences.

I agree that this forum is both a blessing and a curse. I love knowing so much about WDW, even though I have only been there a few times. However, last time I went I tried to cram SO MUCH into the week that I got home and said "never again". I had wanted to eat at all the favorite restaurants, try all the favorite snacks, etc. etc. It turned out that my days were so scheduled by trying to fit everything in, that it was fun at the time, but just too much scheduling. I was also disappointed in a lot of the "must haves" because a lot of the restaurants/snacks that were raved about, I didn't like at all (even though I am not a pickey eater at all). I am going back for a Magical Gathering next year, and this time I am just going to decided what park to go to on what days so I can schedule one ADR a day, and that is it.

I agree..this site is WAAAYYY too addicting, I'm on it day and night and my DH thinks I need a support group for Disboard addicts!

But, I have gotten alot of good tips from it and have tried to share my knowledge. Even though I've been to WDW too many times to count, I sometimes feel like an amateur next to some of these people!

I try not to go by the reviews of restaurants or resorts. Everyone has their own opinions and may not like what we like or have different expectations. We have our personal favorites and try to go back to them and maybe try one or two new places every time we go back. My DH and I are pretty easy going when we are on vacation no matter where we go. As long as the room is clean and when we go to dinner, the server is nice, the food is correct and hot, we are fine.

After reading the reviews here, we are going to try the Cape May Buffet for breakfast for the first time the morning of our anniversary. If it's good, we'll go back, if not, we'll try someplace else.

I would just make your reservations where you want to dine and stick with them, you may be surprised.

Have a good time!

I don't pay attention to the opinions of others when it comes to food. We look at the menus and go with the kind of foods that we like. For instance, we ate once at Marrekesh. I thought it was horrible. Easily the worst restaurant meal I have ever had, but lots of people love it.
