Your plans sound great!
Thanks.
Oh, Hollywood & Vine....I am soooo relieved that Reid is over those characters. It felt good to not even have to contemplate that ADR for our upcoming trip.
Yeah, I know. Rub it in.
Chef Mickey's is a must for our family as well. And I really love Via Napoli. I can't believe I didn't book it for October. I will probably regret that choice.....
But don't they do a walk up window sometime during F&W? Would you maybe be able to do that?
You are going to love breakfast at Tusker House.
The variety is great. Has a few things that I had never heard of until I saw the name tag. And if you like to play it safe, there's always the waffles and Krispy Kremes.
The character interaction is great, too. And you get the family pic with Donald in safari gear.
Yeah, I've heard nothing but good things about it. Well, excluding Kathy, but she usually doesn't like things I like and I usually don't like things she likes so I take her words of caution as a ringing endorsement.
Love all your ADRs. I really enjoyed CRT for breakfast and I had the most fantastic seat EVER with a beautiful view out towards the carousel! Loved it! :good vibes
I hope it is good. I guess we're going for the ambience and experience anyway, but hopefully our dinner will be good as well.
I am a big Via Napoli fan. I don't think I can plan a trip and leave that one out! The pizza is so fab!
I know. I mean anyone who hasn't tried it just doesn't know what they're missing.
That's a great list of ADR's! And of course, I'm totally understanding of visiting VN twice.
Hopefully H&V is better than your last experience, but the kids will definitely have a great time with that group of characters. It seems kind of silly that they haven't moved Doc into the park for meet & greet yet since the rest of them are. I guess that's how they keep up the demand for meals there?
Yeah, they've got to keep the money rolling in somehow.
As long as the kids enjoy the characters, it will all be worthwhile. I mean, it is the cheapest meal in our plans, aside from VN, and I'm sure they'll at least have cereal and fruit. But I'd like to think the eggs and bacon will at least be marginally warmer than the cold food we ate there before.
No need to hold back. You know I wouldn't!
We had a really good meal at Mama Melrose. I'm sure that will make you change that one now.
The rest I'll just be a good girl.
Well, we've got to stay with it if we want to get the Fantasmic! package! I love that show, I just hate the sea of humanity/time requirement it takes to see the show otherwise. This ADR is mainly for convenience.
I actually have Via Napoli booked for September but I am cancelling it. I've had to cancel several with the situation here at home. I figure there is always another time to try it.
I understand completely.
You're right, if there was one place that could screw up breakfast, it would be H+V.
Hopefully, it will be okay but I can say that the characters were enough to make up for the food quality when we did lunch there in January.
I hope that is the case for us. Your TR is really what basically made my mind up about trying it.
King's Island - despite having lived 4 years in Columbus, OH and 3 years in Indianapolis, I never made it down there. Sounds like you had a good time!
Oh man... so close and you never made it there???
I love it. I liked it more when I was younger, but it is still pretty great!
Sounds like the little guy had a good time.
Can't wait to read all about it.
We all had a good time, really. It was a fun weekend.
ADRs look good!
I love how inexpensive Via Napoli is; the food is well worth the cost.
I see how it could be expensive if you order appetizers, salads or entrees. It adds up quickly. But if you just want pizza, it is a heck of a deal for Disney World.
A CP package really is the way to go when you've got young kids. It just makes things is much easier in terms of standby lines and time management. The GG menu does look good, and you can't beat a painless character meet and greet. I don't know if it matters to you or not, but I've heard rumors that the restaurant doesn't spin anymore. Not sure if that weighs in on your dinner package decision or not.
Absolutely. I wouldn't want to try CP any other way. With or without kids, really. It is hard enough to get them to sit through a show like that, but doing it after standing who knows how long in a line... no way.
I'd like to do GG while it is rotating, but it isn't really anything that would be make or break for us.
No criticism about not booking Be Our Guest from me. I haven't read many stellar reviews of the meals. In fact, the overall consensus seems to be that lunch is much better. Not to mention, in terms of quick service inside that park, it is the best, so it's probably best for you to save your TS slots for better locations.
That's really exactly how I feel about it...
Tuskegee House must have gotten better over the past few years, because I've heard pretty good things about it. Besides, early entry into AK means hopefully getting a jump start on the park.
I've seen nothing but good reviews about it lately, excluding Kathy. I'll take my chances.
That's really what appeals to us anyway. Getting into AK early and seeing some characters before a short walk over to the Safari.
Now, Hollywood and Vine.....
I'm sure your kids happiness over seeing the Disney Junior folks will make it worth it.
Yeah... you'll be eating there in a couple of years. Just wait!
At least it is hard to screw up breakfast, but if there's any place that can do it...
