I Can't Wait Any Longer, Starting My DxDP Pretrip Report April 2010

[tink713]

following along. Curious also about BLT we will be staying there in December.

Welcome! I will be writing a TR when I get back as well, and will have plenty of pictures of BLT there!

So I guess this PFR is at a stand still. I'm not exactly sure what else to put into a pre food report. But only 16 more days(not including today).

Now that the Wishes Dessert Party is coming back, I'm debating on whether or not to book it and if I will even have any room left for all those desserts! I guess I have until the 28th to decide. Any opinions on the party? I've heard the viewing is good but everyone rushes to the rail to watch and that seems kind of inconvenient.

Also, I tried to post this on the main dining forum...does anyone have suggestions as to where to get the best Ahi Tuna? I've never tried ahi tuna anywhere before so any help would be appreciated!

I thought about the dessert party- but ultimately I think it will be waaaay to much dessert for us after 2 snacks and 2 desserts already/day.

And, it's hard for us to fit in- I wanted to go Tues the 13th, but Wishes is at 9,
I'd need to make my lunch and dinner ADR's earlier, and it messes up my whole touring plan

BUT, you could easily do it after Kona on the 11th and stay for EMH Kona is an easy one to make a little earlier if you need to, and it's early enough in your trip that you wouldn't be sick of dessert yet. I say if it's still less than $20/pp, go for it!

Ok so I fit the dessert party into our schedule. Exactly where you said too. We will be missing Spectromagic but it's worth it to us, in case they decide to discontinue it again. So we will be at the dessert party April 11th! Yay! Is anyone else going this night?

Your ADR's sound good! Are you doing a food review when you get back?
As for lunches DH and I love 50's Primetime! Another favorite of ours is The Turf Club at Saratoga Springs. We weren't able to fit it in this trip but it's very yummy!

I will definitely post a food review when I get back. I also write a blog that details travel stories, reviews, etc.

Thanks for the lunch recommendations!

Jiko was my favorite restaurant when we went in Jan

I'm jealous you are only two weeks away. April is going to go by slow for me, I know it

I got our yellow tags for ME today, that made me super happy

Danyel, you found me! I've heard such good things about Jiko I can't wait to try it. What did you get there?

The next two weeks will drag by for me, and then when I get back I will be soo jealous that your trip is so close.

can't wait for your dining reviews!! Your trip is almost here!!

They made us a vegan flatbread for an app
I had the shrimp curry and Dan had the salmon dish
all of it was super yummy. If I wasn't embarassed to do so, I would have licked the plate clean

SO tired this morning. I was up until after 1am reading dis! I got addicted to peoples food reports.

The DIS is too addicting sometimes. Somedays I'm on it way too many hours!

It's a short trip and we only have tickets for one day so we're focusing on food this trip. We're planning on eating at Jiko, Boma, House of Blues(OOP), Narcoossee's and Teppan Edo.

Looking forward to your reviews.

You have some good choices! Three of my favorites actually, Boma, Narcoossee's and Teppan Edo. Are you doing Boma for breakfast or dinner? Have fun on your trip!

I feel so bad, I must have missed your post! Welcome to my pre food report!

Your ADR's sound soooo good! You will love DxDp. Alot of the restaurants you're doing DH and I are thinking about doing on our next trip (Nov). Have you ever done Hoop de doo Review before? It looks so fun, this is a must try for us next time.

 

[tink1957]

We're doing Boma for breakfast. We also had dinner scheduled there before we decided to go deluxe, so we sacrificed dinner there for Narcoossee's. Even with DXDP there's not enough table services if you only stay 2 nights.

Oh, don't feel bad! I figured you had missed my post. I just wanted to introduce myself, because we had so many similar ADR's and you and your DH seem like a lot of fun!

No, we have not done HDDR before, but we are looking forward to it, as it has been a must-do for my Aunt and her family for many years now. My DD has a cowgirl outfit (cowgirl hat, pink cowgirl boots and a denim skirt with pink bandanna trim) that my parents bought her from TX. We plan to dress her up in that, and I hope she gets to take part in the show! I'll let you know how it goes!

I am really hoping that your Cali Grill dinner is better this time around. I am sacrificing one of the many World Showcase meals that I have been wanting to do in order to go there. I hope it is worth it!
