Any thoughts?

I think it all looks great - busy, but do-able. Just a tip - not sure how old your girls are, but there's a pretty walkway between the GF and the Poly. I'm guessing the walk would be shorter than taking the monorail around. Plus the surroundings are really nice. Just a thought!

Hope you have a great time!!

Looks terrific. I've never done Citricos at GF, but we have done Narcoossee's (love it). You may want to see if you can get a 6PM or so at Citricos after the early lunch at 50s Prime Time. DH and I were stuffed after our noon meal, and ended up having a very light dinner that night. We were supposed to do Narcoossee's, but with the DxDDP we knew we wouldn't enjoy it as much because we weren't so hungry.

Have FUN!!!

Hi Perpetua:

So exciting that you will be there so soon! Here are my thoughts:
1) My hubby & I celebrated our anniversary @ Narcoossee's...It was super nice, great food & svc, white tablecloths, candles. We loved it. I've not eaten at Park Fare, so not sure about which would be the better choice.
2) Both excellent choices
3) Again, both excellent choices
4) Yak & Yeti - yes if they like Asian food. Jiko - Hmmm, with kids I personally think Boma is the better option. Jiko caters more to adults...Very high end...This is where my son proposed to his fiancee.
5)Liberty Tree is one of our family's favorites - GREAT place for kids & adults- excellent home cooking & lots of it! Never been to Flying Fish.
6) Coral Reef - Our food has always been good. However the service hasn't. Be prepared for a looooong wait, to get in, and to get service when needed. We've always gone here in Oct & Nov, so busy but not overly so. Never understood the problem. Enjoyed Princess Storybook Dining at breakfast. Had excellent service & good food.
7) You probably will not get TS without a ressie. Crystal Palace is a fun choice for b'fast.

I hope all goes well...Enjoy!!

I'm surprised you got all these great reservations so soon!

Looks yummy to me, but I would also say Boma as a PP mentioned.

 

[skyshelder]

That looks like it will be a blast! Have fun!

You should eat at the GF Cafe, it is wonderful, one of my favorite meals last trip. I wish I would ahve made 2 ressies for the week.

 

[perpetua]

THANKS...I made some changes and they lead to more questions...
My little girls are excellent eaters (very adventurous...they love sashimi and asian food) and delightful in restaurants. I will have my MIL and SIL with me and we all like to take little "walk breaks" to explore a bit and let them stretch their legs.

We plan on arriving at every park at opening and leaving at 3:00 or so unless noted.

We are doing snack credits for breakfast in room (cereal, bagel, etc)

1.Arrive to GF at around 5:45
I don't think we will make either of these ADR's as our flight lands at 4:20 (we are taking the ME bus...what was I thinking?)
D- 5:50 Narcoosees or 1900 Park Fare (dinner with Cinderella Characters...girls really wanted to do it but next time)
OR
6:55 Grand Floridian Cafe and call it a night...
OR
Go to MK and work on an ADR there (suggestions?)

L-11:00 Yeti Yeti
2:30 Go to GF and have a 2 hour Break

7. we fly out at 3:30 so leave GF for hotel at 12:30 or so
Perhaps MK... we have 10:25 Brunch ADRs at Crystal Palace? Any other ideas? Maybe just a morning at MK with counter service and rope drop arrival

Again...thank you so much...what would I do without this board!!!

 

[perpetua]

We could also ditch a lunch at Epcot and eat at the Food Wine Festival...we will have MANY snack credits!!

 

[Hopefully]

I have a question for the OP.
Have you made any of these ADR's yet? If not, you may find that there is very limited availablity as to what is available.
If you have not yet called, I urge you to do it ASAP
Have a Great Trip

 

[perpetua]

Yep...all these ADRS are made...and I had a lot to choose from...strange?
Any ideas or comments?

 

[luvpooh]

you will never make it thru breakfast at the Crystal Palace at 10:25 and back to your resort by 12:30; they are notorious for seating late.

You have all of these booked? You have 3 ADR's for some meals...

 

[MyTwoPrincesses]

On arrival day, we're going to MK and just doing CS so we don't have to worry about making it to an ADR. We think the kids will like Spectro and Wishes and the castle more than an ADR. Given your arrival time, I'd do the same.

Is it possible to move Akershus to the same day as Teppan Edo? Then I would do a 2 credit TS on the same day you have Akershus scheduled, maybe at one of the Boardwalk Area resorts? If I had DxDP, I'd want to eat at Artist's Point. It looks SO yummy!
