Teppan edo looks amazing

We've got two reservations here, never eaten there before. It looks really good.

Great updates

It's such fun keeping up with your trip

Great updates Wayne, not eaten anything apart from cheescake at the CF, but that Chicken Masala looks lovely, that's my sort of dish

Sounds silly of me to ask this with it being at Disneyworld and all, but is Teppan Edo child friendly? DH and I would love to go there but we'll have the girls (8 & 5) with us!

I wondered the same thing - always fancied it, but will wait til DS2 is a bit older - not sure how much older he will need to be though.

Enjoying your trip report.

More great updates Wanye! Only had chance to skim over it, but will catch up properly later today

i ate at teppon edo for the first time this trip and absolutely LOVED it!!!

i was with my mom and sister and we all thought the food was excellent, as was the service!!

as for toddlers, as with any restaurant of this kind, you have the hot table right in front of you, so i suppose it depends on your child...whether they'll try to touch it or not..

but i would think that kids would enjoy watching the preparation (the volcano and the like)..

Great update! Wish we were at Teppan Edo! I took my DF, DB and DN there last year and had to cancel a later reservation for somewhere else and take them back to Japan! They loved it! DF and I are planning on having one, or two, reservations there next trip

There were three children on our table, and all of them loved it!

EDIT: Just to say, give the green tea pudding a go..its my favourite!

Ooh yes do love Teppan Edo - we're 'topping and tailing' our 1 week trip with Tokyo Dining at the start and Teppan Edo at the end!

As Beth says there is a hot plate right infront of you but you have to reach over to it. There should be no problem with that. The chefs will play to the age group, they all have their own little tricks, ours tossed the shrimp tails down a small waste hole from about 2 feet away, another tossed his in the air and caught them in his hat. They make the volcano from onions, make a Mickey head from oil on the hotplate. Its fun with food and most kids should love it.
Matt took some vodeo, he will try upload to youtube today.

Thanks for the updates

We are trying teppan edo this trip with our 4 year old - looks great.

How is okw? Did you get a renovated studio room?

 

[irenep]

Just got back from our west coast trip so a bit late subscribing. Have enjoyed reading about the trip so far and can't wait to hear more

Are you enjoying OKW?Are you in a studio? I am so tempted to book for FD next year but as I don't like SSR I can't see myself liking OKW either

 

[disney_princess_85]

I don't like SSR I can't see myself liking OKW either

SSR and OKW are totally different. What didn't you like about SSR?

 

[irenep]

SSR and OKW are totally different. What didn't you like about SSR?

What I don't like about SSR is that it feels really impersonal with its outside corridors and the distances between the rooms and the facilities, and the dirve to the parks.

I think I have just been spoiled by the Beach Club -I love being able to walk to Epcot and MGM and having the pools and restaurants so close to the rooms.

Some rooms are close to the facilities, it just depends on where you're placed. Many people enjoy SSR's proximity to Downtown Disney too. As for the drive to the parks, that's the case for all the resorts- none of them are close to all four parks.

Hopefully Wayne will return with some OKW info for you soon.

Epcot is my favourite park so I would love to be able to walk there. We visited the Boardwalk last year and were quite impressed with it.

brilliant updates Wayne ( as usual) making me wish I was there!

Have to say I agree. We stayed there for 10 days at Easter and were sorry DD had signed the clause in her Disney contract promising she wouldn't take squatters rights and try to live there at the end of our break Liked it so much we finished our 5 week summer hole with a stay there. It's just so handy for everything - Boardwalk, Epcot, Studios, bus to MK only took 10 minutes and dropped you off at the gate rather than the TTC and it just feels so relaxed and comfortable.

Just a bit of defines for SSR, its our first onsite stay and I'm loving it! We have a view of downtown disney which is amazing, will post it when I get back

We're eating at cheesecake factory today too Wayne, in fact I'm standing right outside it!!

How bout that weather yesterday too! Although MK was pretty empty because of it
