Awesome!

You picked alot of my faves! Myself and my DF have eaten at: Kona for dinner is one of my favorites...I highly recommend the terriaki steak! YUM! Grand Floridian Cafe is very nice...we went there for lunch in December. Beaches and Cream is great--love their burgers!! We ate at the Rose and Crown for the first time this past December and loved it!! Great food and wonderful service...try to request a table outside. Spoodles was excellent too....we got lucky there and got an outside table at night; very nice with the candles on the table.

I hope you have a great time and enjoy!

 

[WDWMeg311]

Looks great! Just wondered why you are going to Rose & Crown on your Typhoon Lagoon and Fantasmic day. Nothing against it, just seems a little out of the way for me.

 

[threelilbears]

You have a lot of the same restaurants we have on our plan. The only one I love you don't have is Teppanyaki. I don't know if you've already tried it or not - but it was totally redone last year. It's very cool and as much an experience as a meal. They have the table-side food prep show & the food is fabulous. It was definitely in the top two from our last trip. So, if you haven't been there since the redo, you might want to consider that one...

Just my opinion.

 

[World Bouncer]

Your plans look great!

Things that came to mind....

arrival day, I would probably try for the Wave, great location before getting to the park for EMH.

Typhoon Lagoon Day... going to Rose & Crown is quite out of the way, I know that you're using the Deluxe plan, but I would personally just use a counter service for lunch in the water park.. this would make for a much more relaxed day there and less transportation times. - or - if you really want table service, then I would just go across to Downtown Disney and grab something there - Wolfgang puck cafe or Planet Hollywood.

Have a great trip!

 

[HappyCamper87]

Your plan looks great.

Of the restaurants you have listed we have enjoyed;

Columbia Harbour House = I think this would be a great place for lunch on arrival day. Have a very tasty lunch with a great view from the 2nd floor.

Rose & Crown - We were pretty cranky by the time we ate there but the Pub atmosphere is great and the Fish n Chips were good. '

Spoodles - We have had breakfast and dinner here and enjoyed both. It's been a while ago though and I can't remember what we had except that they have Bloody Mary's and/or Memosa's at Breakfast time.

CP - One of my all-Time favs - But, since you are going for lunch there on the 22nd I would suggest you try Ohana for breakfast on the 20th since you are not planning on going into MK that day. I think you will enjoy this character meal and the view too!

Sci-Fi - Love the atmosphere and cool environment

Flying Fish - Love, Love, Love it!

Well, there's my 2 cents hope it helps.

Have a GREAT Trip!

 

[fey_spirit]

I didn't even know Spoodles had outdoor seating so I will definitely look out for that thanks!

Because we only planned Typhoon Lagoon for the beginning part of the day because A.) Apparently it gets more crowded as the day goes on and once the crowds really hit it wont be as much fun and B.) We also plan to spend some time that day checking out the boardwalk... so at the point that we go to Rose & Crown we would have been at the boardwalk anyway.

Looks great! Just wondered why you are going to Rose & Crown on your Typhoon Lagoon and Fantasmic day. Nothing against it, just seems a little out of the way for me.

 

[fey_spirit]

We have a nice little Hibachi place literally 3 blocks over, and I wanted to focus on places with food we can't get close to home. Otherwise that would have made my list as well.

You have a lot of the same restaurants we have on our plan. The only one I love you don't have is Teppanyaki. I don't know if you've already tried it or not - but it was totally redone last year.

Sept 21st - (Sunday)
Plan: Magic Kingdom

Lunch: Tut De Itlanio, 2:00 (You can take the Monorail from the MK to Epcot right?)
Dinner: Citraco's, 8:00

From World Showcase it is quicker to take the resort bus to MK than the monorail. If you leave through the International Gateway, you are just a cuple minutes from BC. Head through the lobby out to the buses

If you take the monorail, you have to leave the World Showcase and go through Future World. Take monorail to TTC and then transfer to the MK monorail. I would allow at least an hour, you may wait up to 20 minutes or so for monorail plus the walk to the front of the park and to the monorail.

 

[starann]

I have been to LTT for lunch and found it pretty tasty. I know you can't make ADR's for that day, but if you are going to be in MK you may want to see if you could get in.

 

[fey_spirit]

Yeah, I was thinking Tonga Toast

Is the food at 1900 good then? I had heard horror stories about the food, but chose to go that night anyway assuming we wouldn't be hungry having had lunch not so long ago, and thinking the wickeds would be a great meal before the Halloween party.

Brown Derby is something I desperately wanted to do first trip but had to cancel because I got sick... I'm just happy to have a second chance to try this.

Crystal Palace lunch is so for the wife - she loved it last time and it was the one meal she most wanted to repeat

Just my opinion.

 

[fey_spirit]

CCH - the other great thing about this option is if we get there around 1 it's right by the spot where we want to catch the parade so we can just walk down and take a seat after to wait.

I am so excited about R&C it's the Who fan in me, at the moment I'm obsessed with all things British.

As for the O'Hana breakfast? I can't really do that because of the Stitch factor...

Your plan looks great.

Of the restaurants you have listed we have enjoyed;

Columbia Harbour House = I think this would be a great place for lunch on arrival day. Have a very tasty lunch with a great view from the 2nd floor.

I didn't even know Spoodles had outdoor seating so I will definitely look out for that thanks!

I never really realized it either, even though I've probably walked by it endless amounts of time! We had made our ADR's and when we showed up the hostess asked us if we'd like to sit outside. It was really nice and it was fun to "people watch" everyone on the Boardwalk.

 

[disneyfav4ever]

I love Kona, that's a great choice. Akershus is wonderful for breakfast. Brown Derby is great, so are Flying Fish, CA Grill and Citricos, I love the signature restaurants.
