My ADR choices - need ideas

[nicwoodard]

My day to call and set ADR's is less than 2 weeks away (March 11th). We will be there June 9-16 (staying at Beach Club), and are on the Dining Plan.

We went two year's ago and did Boma, 50's Prime Time, CRT, and Hoopty De Do Revue. We liked all of them but decided to not return to those and do some new ones. CP and Le Cellier were family favorites and we want to return to them.

Many of my choices are family requests, but I still am playing with a couple, so I would love anyone's input. My son is 12 and my daughter is 8.

Here goes:

Chef Mickey's breakfast is already booked for the 13th.
Coral Reef- dinner - hubby's request
1900 Park Fare dinner - daughter request so she can see Cindy
Le Cellier dinner - we all wanted this
Crystal Palace breakfast - son request so we can be in the park before it opens
Sci Fi lunch - we all agreed to do something at HS


SO, we have ONE left. And is hard to narrow down to one other, plus I am not opposed to changing some of the above. Nothing is set except for CM. These are some of the other restaurants we thought about:

Tutto Italia
Spoodles
Whispering Canyon Creek

Please give me your thoughts. The kids and I aren't big on Asian food. Although, I think my hubby and I might try Tangerine Cafe for a CS in Epcot while the kids get something else.

Thanks!

I would go with Spoodles or Tutto Italia...you will be close to the BC and not have to travel so far. I didn't think that WCC was all the great.

We really like Cape May at Beach Club - Dinner or Breakfast. Biergarten is a fun experience.

Le Cellier is my kids favorite restaurant in the whole world. Enjoy them all!!!

If you don't mind me asking how did you book Chef Mickeys before your 90 day adr time?

 

[nicwoodard]

You can book CM, CRT, or Victoria & Alberts 180 days out...

I was told last week by a CM at the dining desk I could not.

I forgot totally about giving suggestions! I got caught up in the 90/180 day window. Which is, btw, for visits prior to June 19 CM, CRT, and V&A could be made 180 days out. After June 19th visits, the window for all restaurants including those 3 are 90 days. I called to check.

My comments are in Magenta. Looks like you are going to have a delicious trip.

Coral Reef- dinner - hubby's request This is a great meal--I love it!
1900 Park Fare dinner - daughter request so she can see Cindy Great way to see Cinderella without having to fork out extra to eat in the castle
Le Cellier dinner - we all wanted this Great dinner, but I did not like any of the appetizers there.
Crystal Palace breakfast - son request so we can be in the park before it opens Try for an 8:05 ressie. Otherwise you could miss important park touring time.
Sci Fi lunch - we all agreed to do something at HS This is good, but I like Mama Melrose's better.

Tutto Italia This one has had great reviews, but I would go with Spoodles so you have more play in your itinerary. You have a lot of park meals, few resort meals. Also, I said Spoodles because it looks like you are planning Epcot that day, and Whispering Canyon is a bit farther away. Spoodles is also in a great central location for the entire resort, IMO.

Really? I am sorry then if I am giving false info.

My husband booked the trip back in December. That was when they were in the process of chaging the ADR system. At that time, the CM he talked to said that those three would be 180 days out, so would he like to book one. So, we did Chef Mickey's. If they switched Chef Mickey's to 90 days, I did not know that.

Sounds like we booked right in the midst of the change over and perhaps CM's has now been changed to 90 days...

I did call yesterday to double check and make sure the date I thought (March11th) was the right day to call. At that time, the CM confirmed our Chef Mickey date. I think they are honoring all ADR's previously set.

Again, apologies if I caused any confusion!
