Help me with my dining plans...

[Bebella]

Would love some feedback on these plans, and some recommendations for a few more meals.

Details: Family of 4, kids are 4 & 2, traveling Feb 24-March 3rd, 2018 - most likely staying at POR, considering using the DDP, as we like to enjoy adult beverages - but would really need to maximize credits to make it worth it. We plan on bringing breakfast food, ordering from Garden Grocer for most breakfasts, or if we're on the DDP, we'll use snack credits for breakfast.

Feb 24 - Arrival Day/Disney Springs - Dinner at Wolfgang Puck Express
Feb 25 - Magic Kingdom - Lunch at BOG, Dinner at Ohana
Feb 26 - Epcot - Lunch at La Cantina de San Angel, Dinner at Via Napoli
Feb 27 - Animal Kingdom - Lunch at Flame Tree BBQ, Dinner at Sanaa (? Still deciding here, other suggestions for anything at DS, or another resort?)
Feb 28 - No Park Day - Breakfast at Kona or Chef Mickeys (thoughts, or other options?), Dinner at Beaches and Cream
Mar 1 - Hollywood Studios - No idea for lunch or dinner
Mar 2 - Magic Kingdom - Breakfast at Ohana (this is a maybe), no idea for dinner
Mar 3 - Departure Day - Bon Voyage Breakfast at Trattoria Al Forno

Would appreciate feedback and ideas! Have to make reservations in 3 days Thanks!

Looks like a great plan to me. We always start our trips with dinner at Wolfgang Puck Express.

I really liked the Sci Fi Dine In at HS but I know I saw some reviews about the food being bland. I didn't think so at all though - def enjoyed my burger and glass of wine! My five year old daughter also said it was one of her favorites.
I would highly suggest breakfast at Tusker House in AK. It was wonderful.
I stayed at AKL and ate at Boma which was great but didn't get a chance to go over to Kidani to try Sanaa.

Would add sci fi dine in at Hollywood studios. Standard american fare but very fun dining atmosphere, maybe try for lunch- we loved it. I would also say if you do look anywhere else at Hollywood studios, stay away from Hollywood and Vine, NOT GOOD. For Feb 25, maybe shake it up and do dinner else where if you are having breakfast at ohana later. My personal preference the breakfast is better with kids since it's characters. Dinner isn't bad there but if I chose one meal there it would be breakfast over dinner. And this is just me but I like to eat at different places my entire trip. Arrival day looks good, lots of great quick service options at disney springs too. Epcot lunch should be great, La Cantina is good. Via Napoli is good too however we can get pizza and italian food close to us so it's not very different or fun for us. We haven't been in a while but Coral Reef is good and the atmosphere is fun, kids may enjoy that more. If you have any princess admirers you could do Akershaus too. Get to see alot of princesses and it's buffet. Your no park day, the kids will like Chef Mickeys over Kona. Just beware- Mickeys is loud. It's not bad but I wouldn't describe it as great either. If you do it, do it for the kids seeing the characters. If you want a character breakfast that day, maybe try the 1900 Park - it's with Mary Poppins and friends. I prefer the food there over Chef Mickeys. Your March MK day for dinner, maybe try Cinderella?? If not there I would do QS and do Pinocchio.

Oh and inner on 2/28 your no park day, maybe try Disney Springs again. We like Dluxe burger at springs. Beaches and Cream is fun and the kids will like it but probably not a good use of dining credits. Yak and Yeti and Tusker House are good at AK for dinner options. Sanaa is good but would prefer eating at YaY or TH over Sanaa. Esp with kids.

Did you do Hollywood and vine for breakfast or lunch? I was on another thread and they said breakfast is ok...thoughts??? I have a reservation for an upcoming trip.

Has a Wolfgang Puck closed recently at DS - thought I'd read it somewhere?

 

[ENJDisneyFan]

Overall looks like a great plan! For HS I would recommend Sci Fi for lunch or dinner. If your kids are into Disney Jr characters you could also do H&V for breakfast.

 

[Micca]

Sci-Fi is cool and I had an excellent burger there a few months ago. I think if you stick with the basics at Sci-Fi you'll be fine (burgers, fries, rings, shakes.) Only do Chef Mickey if you must for the kids. Sanaa is very good but kids could become restless there. If you have any open slots for lunch/dinner at Tusker House it's worth a look.

I really liked the Sci Fi Dine In at HS but I know I saw some reviews about the food being bland. I didn't think so at all though - def enjoyed my burger and glass of wine! My five year old daughter also said it was one of her favorites.
I would highly suggest breakfast at Tusker House in AK. It was wonderful.
I stayed at AKL and ate at Boma which was great but didn't get a chance to go over to Kidani to try Sanaa.

I'm thinking I might do late breakfast at Tusker House, then do a QS like Flame Tree for dinner ...a lot of people have said TH so that's probably a good idea

I forgot about Sci Fi, my son would love it.

Tusker House was seriously awesome! I'm booked there for breakfast again for our upcoming trip

Dinner at Ohana is my one must do for dining ...so maybe I'll do Chef Mickeys instead of Ohana Breakfast. Though if I add in Tusker House on AK day, maybe they don't need another Fab 5 breakfast. I think I would prefer the food at 1900 but my kids don't know any of those characters. Was thinking of maybe doing the Hollywood and Vine Fantasmic package, is the food that terrible?

There used to be two, but the Express one at the Marketplace is still open.

Sanaa is good but would prefer eating at YaY or TH over Sanaa. Esp with kids.

I think I'm gonna add Tusker House as a late breakfast, then do quick service like Flame Tree for dinner so we can stick around for Rivers of Light. Think that DLuxe is a better value on the DDP? I'll have to check out the menu.
