Got em' all!!!!

[Disneyfreak616]

Hey everyone,

Just made my ADR's for August 17th-29th on the free DDP!!! I got everything I was looking for!! Except one for our last morning, but I think that is because I'm too far out with the 180 + 10 and that ressie will not be linked with our DDP, it will be OOP. I will call tomorrow for it! But the ones I DID get are: (in order- OOP specified if restaurant is on DDP- otherwise...DUH. )

- Kona Cafe (breakfast- OOP)
- Garden View Tea Lounge (Sally Lunn bread! Go Brits! )
- Rainforest Cafe in Downtown Disney Marketplace (dinner)
- Via Napoli (lunch- OOP)
- 'Ohana (dinner)
- Le Cellier (lunch)
- Whispering Canyon Cafe (dinner)
- Boma (dinner)
- Akershus (dinner)
- Yak and Yeti (dinner- with a trip to Beaches and Cream later for DD9! )
- Fantasmic! Dinner Package at Mama Melrose
- Kona Cafe (dinner)
- 50's Prime Time Cafe (lunch- OOP)
- Cape May Cafe Clambake (dinner)
- Garden Grill
**And hopefully 1900 Park Fare breakfast OOP for our departure day!!**

Just thought I'd share my experience with everyone and the lesson I learned: It is SOOO worth it to get up at 6 AM (even on a Sunday) to make these ADR's!! You feel so satisfied when you get everything you wanted! Have a magical day everyone! And I hope you all get your ADR's too!!

It sounds fantastic but that is a lot of food for just two night stay

OOPS! I meant 17th-29th not 19th. Thanks for catching that!

 

[hstrickland]

Those are some of my favorite restaurants!!! And the Poly is one of our favorites, too. You will love the resort!!!!!! I'm all about ADRs 180 days out!

 

[juliemcalister]

Congratulations! Having the confirmation numbers for all your thoroughly planned ADRs makes the trip seem more real.

Have a great trip!

Your ADRs look awesome! I'm sooo jealous! I have to wait untill next Sunday to book mine.

I'm starting to get worried about getting the Fantasmic dining package for Mama Melrose on the 29th, it seems like everyone is booking for that day! There are only two shows for the week we are there and the other showing is on our last day!

 

[Disneyfreak616]

ThreeKMom: Our Fantasmic Package is the 25th, but I'm sure it's still worth a try! If not, that gives you something to look forward to on your next trip! I am really surprised that we got everything but I am so excited about it!

hstrickland: The Poly is gorgeous! I have never stayed there, but I've eaten dinner at Kona and breakfast at Ohana and I absolutely love to explore the resort! My trip to the Poly this summer and the one to CSR (the monorail ticker) are actually 2 seperate trips, the dates just happen to be exactly 3 weeks apart! It's kinda crazy but I'm sooo excited! For my Poly stay my ADR's are:
- Chef Mickey's dinner
- Tutto Italia dinner
- Nine Dragons dinner
- 50's Prime Time lunch (OOP)
- Hollywood Brown Derby dinner (OOP)
- Coral Reef lunch
- California Grill (and Wishes!)
- Kona breakfast (OOP)
- T-Rex Cafe lunch in Downtown Disney

 

[hstrickland]

We just love Cali Grill!!!! One of my very favorites...probably because of the view and Wishes. Have you been? If not, you're in for a treat. This trip we are actually going to take the kids with us to CG. Last trip, my parents took them else where. Didn't know if it would be a place for our children. I think they will be fine, though.

 

[Disneyfreak616]

No I've never been! I'm so excited! No one under 16 is going with us so I'm not concerned about it being okay for children. I can't wait to try the valrhona chocolate cake!

 

[hstrickland]

The sushi is wonderful, too!!!! We had some dessert (don't remember name) that had bananas in it...to die for! The waiter told us, also, that when it was time for Wishes, that we could just get up and go to the observation deck to watch. It was GREAT!!! You will have a much better time without kids

 

[Disneyfreak616]

I hear! Is sushi considered an appetizer or an entree there??

 

[ReallyRosie]

Your ADRs look a lot like mine for August! We're even doing Garden Grill as our last night and 1900 PF for a last day breakfast!

 

[hstrickland]

]I hear! Is sushi considered an appetizer or an entree there??

We were on the DxDp, and we both ordered sushi as an appetizer and then had the steak for dinner. Honestly, though, I could have made a meal from the sushi. We had bread, too, which was wonderful. Plenty of food!!!

 

[ThreeKMom]

Disneyfreak616, I don't arrive untill the 26th so I'm hoping for Fantasmic on the 28th. The only other time it's showing is on Sept. 1st. Thats our last day, and we have a tradition of dinner at the Rose & Crown for Illuminations on our last day.

I don't think DH would be willing to give that one up! He's the one who likes to keep all the "traditions" in place. We're starting to get quite a few.

Dinner at Coral Reef on our first full day, Breakfast at Crystal Palace at 8:00 on our first MK day and now Rose & Crown on our last full day!

You're absolutely right! If we don't see Fantasmic this time we will just have to book our next trip and start planning!

Yeah, I am thinking maybe I will make sushi my meal, but I'm not sure. I'll see what I'm in the mood for that day. I'm excited to see Wishes that high up!

Really?! We LOVE doing character meals on our last morning, as they are very relaxing and a way to add one last magical memory to our trip. And I LOVE Garden Grill! If you've never been there, you won't be disappointed!

Well hopefully you will get the 28th! I would stick with your tradition of Rose & Crown, that's wonderful! We don't really have any traditions for restaurants except that we must do a character meal or a buffet (like Boma ) on our last morning, and we MUST visit the Yorkshire County Fish Shop! You have some good traditions though! Crystal Palace is a great character breakfast, and we love everything about Coral Reef!

I got Mama Melrose for Fantasmic for lunch at 2:45 on the 28th!
