Intimate Dinner Reception

[WineGalTina]

So our wedding is still 16 months away but I am planning like crazy (and trying not to drive DF nuts in the process!!!)

We have pretty much decided on Boardwalk SBP mid-afternoon wedding with a dinner reception afterwards and then a dessert party for Illuminations. However on where to have dinner I am somewhat stumped. We don't want to spend a fortune since there will be 20 people but we do want something nice enough. We were hoping to keep the price to around $75 a head including alcohol not including gratuity. I thought it might be nice just to stay on the Boardwalk and go to Spoodles and then walk over for the dessert party but I was looking at their updated menu and wasn't really impressed, it was missing several of the things I really enjoyed when we went there last year. I know it will change again in the next 16 months but I still am wanting ideas on other places too. My other thought was to do California Grill and then take the monorail back to Epcot but I am thinking that will be really spendy and maybe we should just save it for a romantic "just the 2 of us" dinner later in the honeymoon. Can you do the Epcot restaurants still in your wedding dress?

I am going crazy over this!!! Any suggestions or ideas?

Thanks,
~Tina

You can't go into the parks with your wedding dress. Only if you have your wedding before the park opens or I guess the dessert party (when I worked at DW, I saw people in their wedding dresses at the dessert party all the time)... My DF and I are having an intimate wedding and are going to have a reception at the Biergarten. It's like $30 a person. I think the buffets would be the cheapest there. Just an idea....

Have you thought about going over to Downtown Disney? Portobello Yacht Club, Fulton's Crab House, or Raglan Road are good choices...
