Julezdisney's Sept. PTR: Free Dining and my Birthday!

[kschafer]

Nope, no appetizers and no tips. I would spend some time on Allears looking at menus (which I'm sure you have done already) to ballpark the cost of your meals then calculate your tips. I think we averaged about $15 for the 4 of us IF we didn't get appetizers and/or alcohol.

Wow! The punch card is a great idea to keep track of your dining credits! Too cute.

And on the tease of your idea for your departure day. Can't wait to hear what it is.

I'm trying Ohana's breakfast this summer. Taking my dear nephew 9 on our summer trip and I really want to take him to a character breakfast. So I picked Ohana's breakfast cause it something new for me.

I personally like the San Angel Inn, although many people don't. I've eaten there three times and have had a good meal each time. Yeah the tables are a bit close together, but the scenery is fun.

The views are from the 70's building. I payed for a non perferred room, but I'm pretty sure that was a preferred room cause it was so close to everything! sorry, I don't have any 50's view pics!

Thank you! So was it good for parking as well?

Thanks, K. And yes, I've been hooked on the ALLears menus. And one of the threads in dining has an approved list of snack on DDP.

So was $15 per meal?

I love the punch card. I'll probably use a pen of course and just cross them off but it's fun!

Na Nah Nah boo boo... I'm not telling....

Oh yay for O'hana's! Can't wait to hear about it!

Our family is ALL ABOUT theming so I think they'll really like it. Not many people seem to love Sci-Fi either but we adored it. AND the food was good, IMO- I'm easy to please though- def. no "foodie"!

Nope, no tips or appetizers. The punch card is too cute! Ohana's and Akershus are good choices -- are you just doing Epcot and MK on this trip?

Thank you! So was it good for parking as well?

My two main trips there I was "carless". We did park there one night for a single night stay and it was definately a walk to the car from our location in the 50's. I bet the parking lot near the furthest 50's and 80's buildings would be the best for walking to the car. Not sure if DH and I will rent a car for our free dining trip. I think the best resorts for being close to the car are the mods and SSR. It's like valet parking, so everything seems inferior to me

I am not a foodie either, so that's probably why I like San Angel! My kids ask to go back there every trip cause they LOVE the food and surroundings, but we are skipping this summer!

I believe the characters at LTT are due to come back anytime now. I'll let you know if I hear anything for sure. I think that would be a great value meal for your TS credits plus it's a great food and I adored the characters. Oh, man. I want to go back to LTT.

I believe San Angel is going under a refurb sometime soon too so that usually means good things too.

Hey Julez.....

Looking forward to an update! Told Dh I wanted to stay at POFQ this September, but then I said, " naaaahhhhhh - I want to go to POP"

 

[Roxychica7]

How in the heck do I always miss the Gnomies PTR!!?
Subbing now so that I don't forget to later!

First off, LOVING the PTR so far. You will love Ohana's and San Angel Inn. LOVE the punch out card and P's design for your book cover. Cosmic Ray's is a definite for us, we always eat there twice on each trip, just ordering something different each visit. Blake and I loved the Ribs and Mashed Potato, Green Beans combo when we ate their for dinner. YUM YUM!

Hi Jess! You pokey girl! I'm glad to you!! I'm thinking we're gonna have to drop San Angel Inn though because I looked at the menus, and there is NOTHING there that my step-son will eat! My daughter loves tacos but Ebin is a very meat-and-potatos boy so I may have to save that one for the future. I'm disappointed but... there's always Gnomefest!
