You are added to the list on pg. 30! What are you are your thoughts so far for dinner than night? What about someplace in DTD, like T-Rex for the kids? Or we really enjoyed Paradiso 37 and Kouzzina on the Boardwalk. Oooh, oooh, what about 'Ohana?

This is what my lovely dh gave me to work with: He wants to eat outside of a park, not somewhere that we've been before, preferably at a dvc resort, and not at downtown disney. He drives me insane! haha

That being said, we're on the dining plan and don't want to pay oop for a meal. Although if we do, we will do t-rex! So Kouzzina...sounds good right? No...doesn't like the menu. 'Ohana...good? Nope...ate there before! Well he's going to have to compromise or it's going to be my pick soon!

Yachtsman? Maybe The Wave? I really don't know....he's your problem!

You can start booking at 6am est, so 5am cst. And the website is:
http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/reservations/dining/
Also if you are staying on property have your reservation # so you can make use of the 180+10 day dining booking window. It will not allow you to book beyond your 180th day without it. Hope you get everything you want!

Thanks so much! We are staying on property so I'll be trying to get ours adrs for the week. Guess I'll be waking up at 4:30 am to get my morning coffee in my body and attempt to wake up

What about one of the Wilderness Lodge restaurants? Or, like Nikki said, Yachtsman? Captain's Grill at YC is also really good, only 1 TS credit, and no one ever talks about it, so it's not impossible to get an ADR there!

Ooh good idea! Whispering Canyon is fun! It'll be easy to get back to your resort too because you can just take the boat to MK and bus back to your resort from there.

Thanks!! A question -- we got the Deluxe Dining Plan and now I'm thinking it's unnecessary and too much. What do you guys think?

We are a family that taking the time to sit down and relax a couple of times a day. Plus we have to shows (HDDR and SoA) that we want to see as well as lunch at the castle and dinner at Jiko. Therefore it really works for us. If your family doesn't like taking the time outs then it might not be right for you. Even switching two of our TS to QS I'm still at least $100 ahead just on my personal meals.

newbies!

Everyone is on the list up to now. Please check the list to make sure your information is accurate. DS is having a bad day, so not sure if I have everything correct.

Thanks so much for doing that! Hope DS is ready for bed and has a better day tomorrow.

How about Jiko or Boma? I'm an AKL girl though so I may be biased.

I almost asked off for my day (April 18). It's too late now though. I'll get my schedule for that week tomorrow. Really hope I'm not scheduled. Of course I'll be so wired from making the ADRs I'll probably have the energy at first and then crash around lunch time.

Is your ADR date the 25th too? If so, pour me a cup-o-joe while you're at it!
I'm on central time too - so 4:30 sounds about right. Unfortunately, I already wake up at that time for work most days.

So funny you mentioned that! I DID take off on my ADR date - but was too embarrassed to mention it. Silly me - I forgot where I was!

Yes my adr date is 4/25! I'll have a steaming cup of espresso for you. Come on over I don't wake up until 6:50 am.. the benefits of living in a small city. Now, do I have my restaurants all lined up
NOOOOOOOOBut, I am meeting with my travel buddies this weekend and I intend to finish our list. I really want to get the Wishes Fireworks Dessert Party anytime during out trip 10/22-10/29. We are celebrating our birthdays together in disney

Yachtsman? Maybe The Wave? I really don't know....he's your problem!

I want to stick to a 1 TS for this one! The Wave...he's not too into that menu either! And I am fully aware of his craziness!

What about one of the Wilderness Lodge restaurants? Or, like Nikki said, Yachtsman? Captain's Grill at YC is also really good, only 1 TS credit, and no one ever talks about it, so it's not impossible to get an ADR there!

I am seriously considering Captain's Grill...have you ate there before? And I see you started your new ptr...I must have stopped your tr at some point, but I did just finish reading up on it the other day!!! Didn't you love going with all of the decorations up!?

Ooh good idea! Whispering Canyon is fun! It'll be easy to get back to your resort too because you can just take the boat to MK and bus back to your resort from there.

WCC is another one that's been done before, twice actually. UGH! haha

How about Jiko or Boma? I'm an AKL girl though so I may be biased.

Jiko's out b/c it's 2TS...we want a 1TS for this one. And Boma we're doing for breakfast and God forbid we go back there! haha



Thanks everyone for the input...I'm going to try to work on him again tomorrow. He's not even home yet from working a double today, so I'll give him a break tonight!
I'm thinking Captain's Grill or we can go to the Boardwalk and just do Beaches & Cream or Big River Grille???

Me and my 4 BFFs from high school celebrated our 40th with a trip to Fort Myers.......shopping, spa, shopping, eating, shopping, poolside, shopping.......oh, and did I mentioned we shopped a bit?

OOHH the spa and shopping sounds wonderful! I love any vacation where a beach is involved. We are heading to Cancun in June and can't wait to be drinking a pina colada by the pool. I am actually traveling with three of my best friends from junior high and high school. Two of us will be celebrating our 40th bdays. They are thrilled to be staying at Disney's Old Key West as my birthday present to them. I want to surprise them with an awesome trip

I was going to suggest Cap'ts Grille also, I have read a lot of people say they never got a bad meal there, the menu looks good and only 1 TS, I wanted to do dinner there this trip but when we moved our dates for September to October and lost 2 days do to higher room rates, I could not fit it in this trip

I would like to join in on your 4/25 ADR Party! I don't have many to plan, CRT and Tusker House for sure - would like to land a later-ish breakfast at both, maybe 9:30 or 10:00.

Here's to good luck for us all! Are you guys doing online of phone?

Hey you know what they say in Texas.. "Everything's bigger in Texas" The bigger the party the better.. I'll make the espresso coffees you all bring the croissants! I will try online first, and whatever I have an issue with I'll phone it in. Best of luck to all of us with our ADRs.

I am still trying to find a couple of people to share an Illuminations cruise with. Anyone traveling 10/25-10/29 that is interested please let me know. I believe it would be $40 per person with tip included.

 

[jjiillee]

So since I can make ADR's on 4/26 does that mean I can do it at 12am?

Woot Woot! A Party!
How do you take your coffee?

Online booking opens at 6am eastern.
Phone bookings do not open until 7am eastern.
So booking online gives you a one hour advantage over all those who need their "beauty-sleep"!

Do you know if the Wishes Dessert party is also available at the 180 day mark? Thanks..
