I'd cancel Rainforest Cafe since it is not unique to Disney.

Yes, it's worth it.

From your list I'd probably cancel the Plaza or Mickey's BBQ. However, if you chose Boma, I'd stick with that. I was underwhelmed by the California Grill, but given your time slot, you'll be there for the fireworks, so I'd keep it. O'hana might be another skip, but Fantasmic may finish to late.

Going your last night might be good or bad. It might be a nice send off...or you could be exhausted from a week at the world.

Is Victoria & Alberts on the Dining Plan???

Is Victoria & Alberts on the Dining Plan???

Only if you have the Platinum Plan vacation package.

 

[deej696]

I'd cancel any one of those for V&A's... But if I had to choose, I'd drop Boma...

 

[LaLalovesWDW]

V&A is totally worth every dime for the experience, the food, the service.. and even watching the coffee brew was fascinating.

I would first call and see what reservations they have available during your time frame and then that way, it will narrow down which you have to choose from to cancel. I don't anticipate you would have an issue getting a reservation, but it doesn't hurt to work that way first. Enjoy the experience!

 

[princessreilly]

I have checked on reservations, and there are several available for V&A. Coffee brewing is fasinating? Interesting.... As of now, I am torn between cancelling and keeping Mickey's Backyard BBQ. My parents couldn't get this reservation and I have read a lot of bad reviews on it. I think it would be really hot too.

 

[Cheshire Figment]

Since it would have to be a dinner, I would suggest your dropping out of either the California Grill or 'Ohana. Let the others go there while you go to V&A.

(And if it did taker the DDP, it would require at least five credits per person.)

For what its worth, I didn't like the backyard BBQ at all.. neither did my Godchildren, who were 5 and 6 at the time. I would take V&A over that any day of the week!

Yes, coffee brewing was fascinating. Even our waiter said it was the most photographed coffee pot in the world. Here is a pic I took of it. But you really gotta see it happening to appreciate it.

 

[princessreilly]

Wow that doesn't even look like a coffee pot! Ok now, decisions, decisions...thanks for your help!

 

[princessreilly]

What is their policy when booking? Credit card hold or advance payment? Which expenience should I do? If I book online, which one is it?

 

[Colleen27]

I'd drop the BBQ, not because of anything about the food or anything but just because when we were there in late Sept it was HOT and I wouldn't want to dine outdoors at that time of year! Or alternatively, since you didn't add your parents to that one maybe you could work things out to "give" them that reservation to take your kids to the BBQ while you and your husband go to V&A?

 

[princessreilly]

Steve's girl--Like your siggy. ds would go crazy if he saw the three caballeros!!

 

[princessreilly]

Thanks everyone for your help! I called VICTORIA & ALBERTS--#4079393862 this morning and made my reservations! I decided to cancel MBYBBQ for it. It was just a credit card hold, so I made an online reservation.

Ouch. No way. Boma is great. The BBQ is very bad...bad food, boring show...

Yay...you and DH will absolutely love it. I can't wait to read about your experience.

 

[PrincessBelle39]

For us, as I'm adding an adult type meal, I'd cancel and adult meal. As much as we love Boma, I'd probably cancel that as apart from it being a buffet, its not a stand out for the kids. Even though RFC is not special, my kids loved it as it had some novelty value for them. MBYBBQ was one of our kids favourites and they have asked for it again this trip.

Edit: Sorry, I hadn't read the entire thread and just saw you had canceled the BBQ.
