Help me add a resort TS meal!!

[Villains_Rock]

OK here's my ADRs:

Day 1 - Undecided (no park day)
Day 2 - 50's Prime Time
Day 3 - Crystal Palace
Day 4 - Le Cellier (dinner) and/or Corral Reef (lunch)
Day 5 - Raglan Road

We have decided to add an extra day to our trip so we aren't so rushed upon arrival. We didn't opt for another day of hopper's though. I am looking for a good suggestion for a resort TS meal for Day 1.

We can have any combo since we are not against payin OOP for 50PT. We have thought of Jiko, Boma, Cali Grill, WCC, Kona, Flying Fish and Captain's Grill. If we go with WCC then I would try to get into Brown Derby on Day 2 and give up 50PT. If we do that, then we wouild also have to cancel one of our Epcot ADR's as that is the one we are holding assuming we would pay OOP for 50's as of now. Confused yet?!?! Decisions...decisions!

I'd say Kona. It's really under-appreciated.

 

[Ron from Michigan]

California Grill or Jiko.

 

[tink774]

Kona, definitely!!!

 

[DreaGirl]

We really liked Emerils at DTD. We also ate at WCC and had a great time, but you have to be in the mood IKWIM.

 

[donaldseeyore]

I agree with Konas!!!

We just returned (May 2-9) and really enjoyed Boma and Jiko. However, we thought CG is overrated due to the fireworks and actually enjoyed our meal at O'hana and the view of the fireworks from here is better (fireworks are actually centered over the castle).

OK...I just called for Kona and they were pretty booked. I grabbed the last evening slot of 8:15. I think that Wishes is a late run that night too due to EMH so I may have lucked out! Unfortunatly we will miss the water pageant though. Ooooh well!

Kona it is. I've never eated there! Can anyone tell me about it?!?!

I ordered the prime rib w/ mashed potatoes and broccoli florets during our meal there in Dec. It rates as one of the best WDW meals I've ever eaten! The prime rib was perfectly seasoned for me (I ordered mine cooked medium) and I still tell people about the mashed potatoes. Typically I don't care for potatoes with the skins mixed in, but these were fantastic. Unfortunately we didn't get to try the butter (as I remember it has macadamia in it? Mom has an allergy so we didn't want to take the risk) but I've heard wonderful things about it. I'll definitely be trying it during our next trip.

Two others in our party ordered the prime rib and agreed that everything on the plate was wonderful. I believe Dad ordered the beef teriyaki dish and said it was delicious, as well. Unfortunately I can't remember if anyone ordered appetizers. We got salads prior to our entrees being brought out, but I didn't eat mine because I didn't care for the sweet dressing. Next time I'll try to order it without the dressing and see how that goes. All in all, a wonderful meal!

Hope you enjoy, and have a great trip!

I like the idea of going to the Boardwalk when you have time to kill... It is fun down there at night... Therefore, Flying Fish might be a good option...There is ESPN down there also and Cape May Cafe across the way at the Beach Club...It just might be nice for you guys to spend some time down by the Boardwalk...Taking a walk, watching all the fun activities and grabbing a sweet snack is a great time for us.

Here's a link to my review of Kona on our recent trip. It was our 3rd time eating there and it was very good!!

Here's a couple of pics of what we ate there from a previous visit:

Appetizer: Sticky Wings

Entree: Terriyaki Beef(looked exactly the same on our visit in April)

Entree: Filet Mignon

Oooooh yuuummmmmm!!!

We really liked Emerils at DTD. We also ate at WCC and had a great time, but you have to be in the mood IKWIM.

Emeril has two places, neither are within Disney property. One is in Universal's CityWalk, and the other restaurant, Tchoup Chop, is at one of Universal's resorts, the Royal Pacific.

I'm wondering if you're confusing Wolfgang Puck's with Emeril.

Villains Rock, I had the prime rib and agree with the other person that it was done very nicely. My sister's teriyaki steak was good, as I had to taste hers.

My mother ordered the pork chop, and when she said it was the best pork chop she ever had, I had to taste it. I think she might be right.

Boma, hands down!!!
