F&G first timer! Pre-trip report...

[FoodieFriend]

While I've been to WDW a few times, this is our first trip during F&G and Spring Training! Our last trip was during '15 F&W which we really loved. Here's where we've booked our ADRs:
Morimoto Asia
Shula's Steakhouse
Sci-Fi Drive in
Beaches & Cream (2nd time because we loved it in '15)
Tiffins ROL (I was able to change this to include ROL when it was released)
Homecoming Kitchen
Wanyama Safari/Jiko
Garden Grove (S&D crab buffet night)
Flying Fish

We've cut down on ADRs since we're planning to enjoy the F&G booths. Can't wait! only a week away! We also have some "open" nights in case we hear good things about Paddlefish or any other new places that open up.

Hi there! I'm in!! Can not wait for pics!!! We're doing F&G for the first time & I can't wait to see the offerings. This trip will be ALL about F&G for us. So excited,have an amazing time!

Yay for experiencing F&G! We're actually going TWICE this year March and May. We went during F&G in 2013 and then in 2015 but the first time they didn't have the food booths yet and in 2015 I just hadn't planned accordingly so we didn't try enough of them. Going to remedy that this year!
We've actually only eaten at two restaurants on your list - SciFi and B&C so I'll be interested in what you think of all the others. And we're doing the RoL dining package at Tiffins on March 26th

Flower and Garden is my faaaaaaaavorittteeee! When are you going? How long are you staying? Can I sneak into your backpack for the Wanyama Safari??? SO many questions! Can't wait to drool along with you!

We're going to F&G too in like, 2 weeks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The last time we were in WDW for F&G was in 2010 and they weren't really doing the food booths. It was really just amazingly gorgeous flowers and topiaries everywhere. I can't wait to see which booths you visited! I've got mine picked out:

Burnt Ends with cheddar sauce and jalapenos
Pineapple dog
Tarte a l'onion alsacienne
Berry buckle
chocolate cake with bourbon caramel sauce

I'll be sure to post our Tiffins ROL experience. We'll be there for lunch at 12noon & our return time for ROL is 645 which conflicts with the info on the WDW website about having to dine within 3 hours of our showtime? oh well. I booked it directly with a CM over the phone, so I'm hoping it will work out somehow!

We'll be in FL from March 1-11, but there are a few non-park days as we're going to USO & Spring Training. I'm glad that they've opened Wanyama to everyone & I've read good reviews here about it, so crossing fingers it will be awesome.

I'm very sure we're trying all of that and MORE!! We had a great time at our 1st F&W in '15, so we're looking forward to F&G.

The wording that Disney used was super weird but what they meant was that you must check in for your reservation at least three hours before the show. "Not less than three hours prior" or whatever they actually said was just about the most convoluted way to phrase it. You should be fine! So exciting. Looks like a great trip. We love baseball and Universal too so please take notes on all of it to share!!! You are so close to departure! I am leaving on the 2nd after work and can barely contain myself.

Whohoo for your trip!!! I know you've been waiting a while for it. Can't wait to hear all about it.

We are going to F&G the first time this year too, and also haven't been since F&W 2015. Looking forward to your F&G reviews!
