My Dining Plan for August

[honeymo78]

Since my fiance doesn't want to hear any more about what I have planned I figured I'd share my dining plan for our August trip with all of you. Keep in mind we are on the Gold Dream Maker so all our meals are sit down. And I am looking for recommendations for one of our meals but you'll see that later.

Just my 2 cents worth.

Liberty Tree Tavern -- I like this place.
1900 Park Fare -- I had dinner here on my last trip and was very pleased.
50's Primetime -- I dine here on each trip and really like it.
Yachtman Steakhouse -- Very good
Rose & Crown -- This is a must-dine place for me. Make sure to request a patio table in advance and then again when you check in.
Rainforest -- I dined at the one at DTD a few years ago and really did not like it. The food was so-so and the service was not great either. I'd recommend Tusker House at AK. I think you'd be very happy here.
Concourse Steakhouse -- Dined here for dinner on my last trip and it is now on my must-dine list.
Crystal Palace -- Really enjoy this one.
Cindy's -- Excellent place to dine. Make sure to request a window seat.

Suggestions:
O'Hana's
Garden Grill
Le Cellier
Spoodle's (Definite must-dine)

Hi there...

Everything sounds great - my only concern are the days with three fairly big meals planned - it is so easy to screw up plans because you are tempted for treats at a park and then you are not hungry for your PS.

You have Park Fare, Prime Time and Yachtsman on the same day - I feel 5 lbs going to my butt when I think of this LOL

Try to leave room for snacking - so you can have ice cream & treats too.

>>^..^<<

THanks for your concern but I'm fairly used to three big meals especially at Disney since I have been on the Gold plan at least 5 other times so I know what to expect. I'm not a big snacker b/w meals, just give me my water and I'm good. I'd much rather eat a nice meal with dessert than grab an ice cream or cookie or popcorn, etc in the park. I guess that's why the gold makes more sense for me and others might not be able to handle the 3 heavy meals. My goal is to eat as much apple pie and prime rib as possible lol.

Unfortunately V&A is not included. I'm tempted to try California Grill though since Shula's is not included and we don't eat fish which I'm assuming Flying Fish is best for. Have you eaten at California Grill? I haven't been up there since it was Top of the World. My fiance is more of a meat and potatoes guy and I wasn't sure he would find something he'd like there.

WooHoo!!!

I can't wait to read your trip report!!

[honeymo78]

I'm finally going to remember to take notes this time lol. By the time I get back and try to piece it all together the days get blurred. Not only will it help me write a good trip report but it will help me remember the vacation and them when I go to put my pics in the scrapbook I'll know what was going on lol.

I love the food and view (of course) at California Grill. Look at www.wdwig.com for the menu. The

Center Cut Beef Filet with cheddar potato gratin, Swiss chard and tamarind barbecue $32.50

is awsome for a meat lover!

 

[disdreams]

Oh my gosh!!! I have never seen anyone plan out where they will eat every meal. You must be a VERY organized kinda person....or else just extremely excited to go (I can relate!). We are more spontanious, except we did plan a character meal a couple of times. Gotta do that!

 

[wdw_dine_junkie]

I would definitely fit in the California Grill and Jiko if possible. Both are excellent!

 

[tinkie]

Le Cellier
Boma
O'Hanas

 

[topcat011]

I, too thought that was a lot of eating...especially on some of those days. Did you leave time to tour the parks?
I loved Ohanas. Nothing bad about that place.
If you do Chef Mickeys make sure they dont put you in that back room. I hated that and felt left out.

Biergarten I enjoyed everything about this restaurant but the food.

 

[luvmarypoppins]

Wow, you are making me hungry. I guess with the gold plan the skys the limit. What park will you be in on the 14th, that might influence your lunch choice. We like Kona Cafe. There doesnt seem to be too many kids there at lunch time. We send our own ds to captain cooks so we can get some lunch time sanity. Food is great there too. Just allow travel time to all your ps and the aug. heat can really get to you so keep hydrated and cool. Sometimes I dont even feel like eating such a big meal in the hot summer. Happy Honeymoon.

I would choose CG over Concourse. I would add LeCellier and think about Coral Reef for lunch on your final day if you're at Epcot as the ambience is fantastic and a great way to end your trip!
