Me and my partner are coming to Florida we have no kids and both in our mid 20s

I have done a plan up and I would like to no if you would change anything or if you think am missing anything

Everything looks good. You may want to use uber to the Hilton. A taxi will be close to $40.

For the 15th, I'll suggest Toothsome Chocolate Emporium at Universal City Walk. It has great food and desserts and was a fun place. We went on the official Grand Opening day a couple of weeks ago. Well worth eating there!

Is this the taxi from airport to sea world ?

How much is an uber. Do they have an app ?

Do u think am trying to rush things or do u think it's a good plan and what u make of my restaurants in Disney I picked

 

[jeepnjudy]

Um, when do you plan on getting engaged in there? On the cruise? I would want to make that moment very special and Disney is all about that! If not on the cruise, I would explore one of the nicer restaurants at WDW for your celebration. If on the cruise, Palos and Remy are both nice options. Just my opinion.

I was referencing the Disney to Hilton.

Uber is an app and you pre-pay through it.

I think your Disney portion looks good with one exception. Because it's such a special trip, forego Tusker and book Tiffins for the 12th. Amazing food there! We recently ate at Club 33 at DLand and felt Tiffins was better in many ways. Really, you won't regret it!!

Many families can't get a 1 week vacation to WDW with domestic airfare to come out to the price you got for 2 weeks, more of florida and a cruise as part of it...

I'm not a big fan of Cinderella's Royal Table so I would probably go with somewhere else but also need to add it's been years since I've done it so maybe I'd like it now. Overall your not overloaded with expensive food places or nonstop character dining and constantly eating so you got that right. The best food at disney is not in the parks so maybe consider a break for lunch your animal kingdom day for a quick run over to jiko or sanaa at animal kingdom lodge which is very close by. If you don't do the break, switch tusker to tiffins unless the characters are important to you at tusker

I think this looks like a great central florida + cruise vacation to me...

Where in WDW is special

I see the most in front of the castle at MK. it's that iconic mage of a disney park. double it with a photopass photographer and they will get a lot of pictures of it happening.. I think disney's wedding site lists helping you find that perfect spot and moment but i'm sure that's priced like disney is helping and probably overkill unless you have a special place on property you want to do it in mind.

I checked with the hotel and they offer a shuttle bus to the parks

How much do u think airport to hilton sea world would cost with uber

Do u not think $10500 for the whole trip is mental lol

Nicer restaurants include Victoria & Alberts (but super expensive), California Grill, and
Narcoossee's to name a few.

Airport to Sea World is pretty close but I'm not good at estimating costs. Maybe google uber?

Considering you have a Fantasy cruise, the pricing isn't that outrageous. Plus, this will be the most memorable vacation ever.

I do agree with the PP's Palo and/or Remy suggestion. Very nice atmosphere and meals!

 

[Garyjames220]

Everyone is making this tiffins sound really good to eat.

Is it costly

 

[hiroMYhero]

Well, a nice meal at Tiffins for you two would be equivalent to only 2% of your total vacation. Quite doable: we had 3 appetizers, 2 entrees, and 2 desserts and it was $150 pre-tip.

 

[Accident]

I don't think tusker is worth the price and for a little more tiffins IS worth the price. I did tusker for the first time a couple weeks ago and I wont be heading back but tiffins I'll hit again many times.

If characters are important to see, it's not a bad choice for a character meal.

Overall - its pretty good!

On the 3rd - I have to admit - I don't love Cinderella's Royal Table. I'd pick something else, personally. But the general concept of eating a TS meal about that time is good.

The 11th is the only day I think isn't perfect. Between getting from the cruise, to your hotel room, to a park - and then dinner AND the Illuminations Dessert Party? I think the Dessert Party that day is too much. I'd cut that. I think you might be too tired to really enjoy that. But - that is an opinion. I also think there are better places to eat than Coral Reef.

Table service at Universal - at CityWalk outside the parks - you can make same day reservations without much problem. I don't think there are alot of table service places in the parks. I know there is one. Given the time of year - I think you might get a reservation last minute in the park - but they do hold some for folks staying at their on-property resorts hotels - and the Doubletree doesn't qualify (I couldn't get in one time - but I could have had I been an on-property guest). I like the QS places in the Harry Potter sections of each park. I would not plan Universal Dining in advance. If you REALLY want a particular restaurant in CityWalk - you could call/book online in advance.

Haha I think how u think however there needs to be a limit. But mybe make this the last lol

How much is tusker anyway

Sanaa at AKL/Kidani is also very good and has an Indian flare. Less pricey than Tiffins but the food and theming are very nice. You'll have a view of the savanna with a variety of animals.

See I wasn't to sure about coral reef. What does everyone else think and where else is good to eat in Epcot

I picked the desert party that night cos I'll Probley only be eating fish so I'd still be hungry for desert lol

The menus are available on the disneyworld website with prices so you can figure out what it would cost you. I forget the site that everyone recommends where you can put in what your eating to see what it would run and if any meal plan would save you money.

I completely missed you had this. I've had an ok meal there but it's just ok. Epcot, especially around world showcase has tons of places themed after the countries they are with.. I would avoid china and mexico as the food isn't really great at the places in those countries or it's not much better than you can get at any low cost chinese take out. the rest I can't really say there is any avoid. they vary in quality but the price reflects that also.
