our plan so far...

[Disneynutbsv]

Leaving 9/23, arriving inOrlando at 11:01am, using Magical Express. After arriving at ASMo, checking in and then heading over to Epcot, we will hopefully have a ps (or ar's now,lol) for the Garden Grill later that evening. We might not stay for Illuminations seeing how we are getting up at 3:30am (flight leaves at 6am).
9/24 going to Animal Kingdom and hopefully ps at Chef Mickey and celebrate my birthday , possibly going over to Epcot for Illuminations after dinner.
9/25 going to Magic Kingdom, hopefully ps's at CRT.
9/26 going to MGM, ps's at Mama Melrose's
9/27 up in the air, we have 1 extra day to go to another park, plus we have tickets to go to a waterpark. And then ps's to Whispering Canyon.

What do you think, should I change anything??

Changes I would make:

MGM - go counter or better yet for great italian - try Spoodles at Boardwalk. It's just a quick boatride from MGM and the food is far, far better than Mama's.

The extra day, try the water parks or go to your favorite park again. See what the weather is like!

Everything else is superb ~

Have you tried JIKO or CA GRILL?

so, we would take the boat to the Boardwalk and be able to make it back in time for Fantasmic??? I just wouldn't want to miss Fantasmic.
No, I've never tried either of those, where are they located?

It isnt part of the Fantasmic! package offerings but I love the 50's Prime Time Cafe in MGM. I dont think I have missed dinner with "Mom" in any number of trips over the past 5 or 6 years!!! Good homestyle food, served in Mom's kitchen from the 1950's. Mind your manners no elbows on the table, no talking with your outh full and if you wash your hands you better know what color the soap was!!! If you are going for the package deal Id go with the Brown Derby. I didnt like Mama Melrose AT ALL!!!!!! The wood smoky flavor was just in everything, YUCK!!!!!
As far as EPCOT, recheck the menu for the Garden Grill to see if you like the new offerings as they sound a bit unusual for me. The two restaurants I love in World Showcase are Le Cellier or Teppanyaki Grill!! Dont forget to make sure to catch a set or two of Off Kilter in the Canada Pavilion. Get there early though as this is the MOST popular music act in all of Disneyworld( All four parks) as per an issue of Disney Magazine!!!
Chef Mickeys is awesome, you will LOVE It. All else looks good!!! Belle

My daughter wants to go to the Garden Grill for the characters, we looked at the menu's at www.allearsnet.com and she said it looked good, so lets hope so. I went to Mama Melrose's last April and it was very good I saw the version of the Beatles that was playing in England and they were fantastic!

The Beatles guys in the UK pavilion are the British Invasion. Off Kilter are next door to that in Canada. 5 guys in kilts and rock & roll bagpipes!!!!! trust me if you saw them you would know it!!! They are great musicians and some of their odd takes on the tradtional Celtic music is interesting to listen to. Check out some of their stuff at www.OffKilter.net on the Music Page of that site!!
