Honeymoon Dining

[ChewieIsMyCoPilot]

So I am trying to narrow down which ADRs I want for my honeymoon. We will be on the Platinum Plan for the first 3 nights so I need to use 9 credits days 1-4. On Platinum, everything is 1 credit, including Signatures and V&A. After Day 4, everything will be OOP. I would appreciate recommendations/favorite dishes since most of these will be a first for me

Day 1:
Lunch LeCellier
Dinner Narcoosees (for lobster)

Day 2:
Breakfast CRT
Dinner V&A (hopefully Chef's Table)

Day 3:
Breakfast Kona Cafe
Lunch Brown Derby
Dinner Yachtsman

Day 4:
Breakfast Ohana
Dinner Fultons (for king crab legs)

Day 5:
Lunch Sanaa- Dine w/Animal Specialist
Dinner Boma

Day 6:
Lunch Earl of Sandwich
Dinner AMC dine in

Day 7:
Lunch Sci Fi Diner
Dinner Flying Fish

Day 8:
Lunch Via Napoli
Dinner Ohana

Day 9:
Breakfast 1900 Park Fare
(Early) Dinner BOG
Fireworks Dessert Party

I'm drooling!

Do you know what parks you plan to visit each day? Where are you staying? I ask only because you are dining all over the World and transportation can be a huge pain in the you-know-where if you aren't careful to sync everything up.

As for things I've eaten and loved:
-The filet and the cheddar cheese soup at LeCellier; the pretzel bread is also delish, and my DH liked the Whiskey flite they do

-The bread service appetizer at Sanaa is awesome...and so is pretty much everything else on the menu! After going there on our trip last summer we feel like this place is our favorite WDW hidden gem. The short ribs and the trandoori chicken were also great.

My only suggestion for a different restaurant might be to not do 'Ohana twice (the juice at breakfast is good...but the rest is pretty standard) and to squeeze in a trip to California Grill if you can. I kicked off my honeymoon with dinner there and a viewing of Wishes from the roofdeck - an unforgettable and super-romantic way to get things off to a great start! That said...you may be getting a similar experience at Narcoosee's, so it's your call.

All of the lunches I planned are in the park we will be for the day and we will also have a car to get around. We are staying at AKL.

I love the soup at LeCellier! DFi is wanting to get some Unibroue as well. Never been to Sanaa but it looks delish.

Ohana is twice because I have yet to try dinner and DFi and I did breakfast there on our first trip together and he loved it (huge Stitch fan).

I really really wanted to do Cali Grill but it is unfortunately under refurb when we will be there

I was gonna suggest the same thing as the previous poster as far as trying to get a California Grill reservation in. Your plans look great, however the one thing I may suggest is doing something else instead of Fultons. Our food and service was horrible. It wasn't a cheap meal either, and the food was no better than a Red Lobster. I think after doing V&A, Yachtsman and Flying Fish, you may be disappointed.

Does anywhere else have good crab legs? The price doesn't really matter as I would still be on the platinum plan and it is one credit no matter what. Doesn't necessarily have to be seafood either, I am open to suggestions

Cape May Cafe has a buffet for dinner that has crab legs along with other seafood, and we really enjoyed it when we went! That's too bad about California Grill being closed when you go, we're trying it for the first time this October but have heard amazing things about it. Artist Point is a wonderful restaurant, have you checked it out at all?

Yachtsman Steakhouse, Narcoossee's and Le Cellier are all excellent choices!!! We haven't eaten at V&A but I would love to at some point some day....

We will be on the Dream for 4 days previous to this, and that is pretty much my plan . Nothing beats mickey bars and champagne on the verandah. I am pretty sure I will eat them out of mickey bars

Dinner V&A (hopefully Chef's Table) {I don't think Chef Table is an option}

Breakfast Kona Café {Why us Platinum Plan for this?}

Dinner Fultons (for king crab legs) {Do the Crab Claws, as the legs are low quality}

Lunch Earl of Sandwich {Why use Platinum Plan for a QS?}

NOTE: I think you are getting very low value from the Platinum Plan. You
are buying too many "cheaper" meals for such a high price plan. Plus, I
see no activities such as fishing, para-sailing, etc which are included.

I second Artist Point, its very nice and romantic

You can do the Chef's Table and just pay the difference. It is stated in the Platinum brochure.

Doing Kona because three heavy meals would be too much and I had to space the 9 credits over 4 days. And I want Tonga Toast

The cheaper meals I listed are after the first 4 days. We are only doing 3 nights on the platinum plan, so after that everything is OOP. Outside of Kona and Ohana everything would traditionally be 2 credits so I think I am getting good use. We will be doing tours as well (dolphins in depth, segway, seas aqua tour, keys to the kingdom, and several hours of recreation at sammy duvalls), I was just asking about my dining choices here.

Thank you for the advice on the crab claws though. Sounds delicious

 

[mickeysbestfriend]

lots of energy! That much food would weigh most people down but you have made some excellent choices for dining

I vote for Artist Point too! It's our favorite place to eat a romantic dinner together, and the food has always been stellar!
