Ol' reliable, or something new???

[Ellie Webbs]

So with rumours going round about Takumi Tei maybe not being on the DDP it maybe time to change our plans. We aren't going until April next year but I like to have everything planned well ( well WELL ) in advance so my question is this, if TT isn't on the dining plan do we try another 2er (2 credits as me and DH call it) or 2 1ers.
We have 2 weeks and so far we have the following restaurants we want to book:
Flying fish
Jiko
Boathouse
California grill (brunch if we can get it)
Narcoossees
Hoop Dee doo with my parents

So do we go for 2 1credits or another 2 credit. We've done:
Coral reef
Olivia's
San angel
Teppan Edo
Bongos (although that will be shut soon)
Rainforest cafe (meh)
Planet Hollywood (meh)
Sci fi
Garden grove
Yak and yeti

I wouldn't mind trying Jaleo or Morimoto but after our experience at Morimoto street food DH has vetoed Morimoto. What about Homecomin'?

Do we try something new or stick with something reliable.... too many choices!

First off, why so wedded to the dining plan? It's not designed to save money. Otherwise, California Grill brunch, Sanaa, Jiko, Flying Fish.

I vote for something new. For our January trip we are planning to eat all places we haven’t eaten at yet. My goal is to eat at every restaurant at least once.

Hi sorry I didn't mention we are coming from the UK so the dining plan is free for is as part of the package.
We already have most of what you suggested planned but will keep sanaa in mind as we are staying at AKL.

I love this goal! How far have you got with it? I just showed hubby a review of restaurant marrakesh and he wasn't overly impressed but that's the trouble with reviews, they are subjective. I always think it's better to try something once though, even if you don't like it.

I think we are around 40%. I have a list printed out and I mark them off as we go. My hubby thinks I’m a little on the crazy side. He just humors me and will try each one at least once with me. Lol

Our hubbys have that in common lol. Good going though, I hope you get 100%! For every 10% you should allow yourself a souvenir as a reward. All this Disney is hard work
And I'm seriously considering doing this

You should do it too! And that means I’m 4 souvenirs behind already! . Our next trip is in 8 days and it’s just a mom/daughter trip. I can sneak in lots of stuff then. If hubby questions it, I’m gonna blame you!

Sanaa is excellent, I would definitely book that if you are staying at AKL.

I've heard good things about the bread service so it's good to hear as a whole it's a great restaurant.

I try to do at least 1 new restaurant each trip. Last trip was the 1st time we tried Bongos and it was excellent. We're sad to see it leaving ( although there is rumor that it's moving to Margaritaville Resort ).

We really enjoy Teppan Edo and that is one of our repeats every trip. It's your typical teppanyaki experience but we enjoy that.
Olivia's is a sleeper pick - lots of comfort food and a few Floridian delicacies thrown in. We hit this restaurant every few trips.

We've heard good things about Homecomin' but haven't tried it yet. It's on the list for the next trip.

As much as a overplan I still like doing at least 2 new restaurants every trip. My goal is to eat every where eventually. BTW if you have never tried Jiko you should do so.
