It's time to eat again?! Deluxe dining reviews and pics 9/08 COMPLETE w/ $ breakdowns

[jwwi]

Your meals look really good. And I'm not even hungry right now.

I don't understand the whole refill mug thing. Seems like a lot of hassle sometimes. I bring my own beverages, and a insulated mug when I travel. Gotta have my diet Pepsi.

I've said this on all of your reports, but it looks so good there! We probably wouldn't go there unless we did the DDP though, which isn't likely to happen anytime soon. My parents own a timeshare about 3 minutes from AK, so we stay offsite. Oh well...maybe some year we'll either stay onsite or just splurge. Until then, I'll live through others' dining reviews. hahaha

Great review. The pictures with your husband and the claws are very funny!!!

well, we love the idea of the mugs, but since we were staying concierge, everytime we passed the lounge on teh way to our room we would grab a coke or sprite and put it in our fridge, so there was really no need to go to gasparillas to fill them up!

If you're staying on the concierge level , you do not need the refillable mugs. If you're not staying concierge , the mugs pay for themselves pretty quickly

Great so far! I am sitting w/ my kids and they loved the picture of your husband w/ the lobster claws LOL.

Hi Heather,

I came across you TR and it sounds like you had a great trip! Can't wait to read your dining review. That was great you got to go to the Halloween party after all, it looked like fun!

 

[Bondfan531]

I like reading your trip reports and the dining reviews. We'll be going back in a year (actually a little more than a year--May 2010) and we'll be doing the deluxe dining also this time. We did the regular dining plan in 2007 and there were a few times we wished we could have eaten at another table service place the same day as our other TS meal but couldn't. I'm stashing away the extra cash now

 

[MiaBella05]

Cant wait to read more, and you are right whatever that sauce is that is on those steaks is the best!!

yeah it is expensive but so worth it to us to not have to worry with what food costs on vacation!

i am drooling now thinking about it! 4 months form today we leave for disneyworld!

Oh yeah you started. Off with a bang our favorite place Narcoosee's. Cant wait to hear the rest!!

 

[aristocats_lover]

Hey heatherlynn! I am on your cruise thread and saw your dining report. Since we live in FL and have annual passes, the dining plan is really no deal for us, and I am so scared to spend SO much money at a restaurant only to hate the food. I am such a picky eater! So I am loving this because you are reviewing so many of the places we've considered. Looking forward to updates!

Great start!!!

So did this lobster have name before DH devoured him???

& btw... I always budget 20% (for my actual budget) knowing I can leave less if my service wasn't good... if that helps anyone...
