Has anyone had success booking dining? I mean......for the love of churros!


Nothing has dropped at all for Nov. 23rd and on that I'm seeing... I have a billion alerts from both mouse dining and mouse watcher so my phone should explode if it happens. :scared: No Minnie or Carnation at all for the week either.

Good to know it’s not just me that hasn’t seen anything come up.
 
I got Minnie for Nov 12. Still waiting for Carnation or Trader... Thank you all for the help so far!

Hi everyone, I am new to DL having been going to WDW for 20 years I am making my first DL trip in December and I am very excited about it. I would be interested in seasoned visitors thoughts on must do restaurants for a first timer. I only want to book a couple of dinners as I have seen a million snacks I want to try also haha. Also thanks for so many tips on this forum, it has been really useful :)

DL:
Blue Bayou (it’s definitely a favorite, not mine, but it would be the #1 must do.)

Carnation Cafe (Main Street staple. Personally I’d chose it for breakfast, but I know the fried pickles may have others disagreeing with me.)

Cafe Orleans , the famous monte cristo. I’d do lunch there, not dinner.

DCA:
Carthay Circle (this would be my #1)

Lamplight Lounge (brunch is said to be the best. Haven’t experienced it but had a great lunch there. Very unique!)

DGC:
Napa Rose (this is fine dining, would also tie for #1 depending upon its seasonal menu)

Thanks so much for this, really want to do some classic must do's as part of my first trip.

We went to DL for the first time in August and went to most of the restaurants on the list (blue bayou, new Orleans cafe, and lamplight lounge). They were all really good. I think we enjoyed Lamplight the most. Between the food and the view, it's an excellent experience.
We also did River Belle Terrace in DL (probably the least favorite), Wine Country Trattoria in DCA, and Storytellers in GCH, this was the only character meal we did, breakfast buffet. Food was pretty good and always fun to have breakfast with Mickey and friends.
 
I still see Plaza Inn breakfast right now (7am PT)for early nov to the 23rd

no Magic Key DL openings the weekend I’m going so I will pass. (I already have Lamplight brunch)

Agree with Fly Girl’s list. Although I have yet to try Napa. I do prefer the brunch at Lamplight.

There is also Trader Sam’s near DL Hotel. They also offer Dole Whips next door at Tangoroa Terrace.

We aren’t into buffets. But Plaza Inn breakfast with Minnie is popular and favored.

Awesome! I have seen some really cool reviews and pictures of lamplight lounge so that is definitely a reservation I'll be trying to get :)
 
FYI - To anyone who was interested in the Napa Rose chef's counter on Christmas Day, they are not doing chef's counter service that day. I unfortunately found that out after a midnight wakeup alarm to leave my reservation message yesterday morning when they first opened up. Now to struggle with a regular reservation for my party of 11....
