Great Choice's, might be alot of eating for one day but it can be done. You might want to add a counter-service restaurant for lunch. Enjoy

I think your plan looks great. A little crowded for some.....but we usually like to pack the meals in! You can always order light if you're not that hungry.
Congrats on getting Cindy's...and on a birthday no less! And your first night sounds great as well. LeCellier is one of our favorites...followed by Illuminations!
We're not huge fans of Whispering Canyon....a bit too weird with the servers kidding around so much....we just want to EAT! But....we absolutely love Wilderness Lodge and always make a point of visiting and/or eating there once a trip. And, the breakfast at Whispering Canyon is very good....especially the all-you-can-eat skillet!
Have fun!

You've got some great choices there. I'd also agree that there is a lot of eating and you might want to ditch one or two of the choices so you have more park time and aren't so full.

I think you picked out a lot of great places and have to admit that you have a lot of eating to do!!!

ENJOY!

I had to respond because I like eatin' alot but I'm not even sure I could handle all those sit down PS's!

When I took 36 people to WDW for my dance studio to perform ... a lot of people said I fed them too much and that was with two counter serve and one sit down meal per day!! Also, we find that sit down meals take 1 1/2 hours or so. If you times that by 3 you are looking at 4 1/2 hours out of an already short day as the parks close early that time of year.

I can't imagine two sit down meals not being enough for anyone.
Days 2 and 3 look like way too much food. I know someone said to "order light" but if you order light you will not get your $$$ worth on the wishes! I also see that you are going on the Wonder and remember you will be fed WELL on that ship! Nice meals in the evening.

But , you can always "skip" a meal if you are not hungry and use your wish for something else.

I think if you are looking at this trip as an eating adventure rather than an an attraction adventure you will be happy!

As I've said before:

a) we're on the silver package and we're going to get full value for it.
b) one of the things we LIKE at WDW is the excellent quality food
c) we're only in the parks for 3 days and will be hitting certain rides only.

We will have time to relax. Even if it IS busy, we are going on a 4 day cruise after that which we will be totally lounging around on.

I appreciate that for you this may be "a lot". For us, it's not. If by chance we need to drop something, it will be a WCC/ B&C lunch. I refuse to let the DM-Silver wishes go to waste on counter service meals and not get full value for them. I guess in my post I was looking for "do you think these are good restaurants with decent food/wait staff/character interaction". Certainly not, "do you think this is too much".

Besides, do people not eat 3 meals a day anymore?

I find your response to me quite snippity. If you did not want to hear other people's opinions than you should not have asked or you should have been more specific about what you were asking. I was only giving you MY opinion and I even stressed that it probably was not worth much.

I do not think there is anything wrong with going to WDW and having the focus being enjoying the vast variety of food. I have a friend that went on the "Grand Plan" back when they had it and ate, ate, ate! I have also been on the "Gold Key Plan" back when it was called that and had 3 full meals a day.

So there is nothing wrong with it ... I just know I would be too full to ride anything and I am not a skinny chicken and I do eat at least three meals a day! At least!!!! LOL

I didn't bother to look at your signature to see if you were a WDW Vet so I answered as I would for a person who did not know any better. What if the person was planning on using a $34 wish on a $24 breakfast at Cindy's? Not a good idea. What if the person was thinking they could do ALL that eating PLUS see most of the major attractions? You know as well as I do that you could not do that!

Perhaps I should have looked at your signature but I think if you are going to get offended when people answer a question you asked then don't ask it or at least be more specific about what you are asking!!

It wasn't to *YOU*. It was to all the replies I got and it certainly wasn't intended to be snippy so I'm sorry if it came across that way!

Like I said, perhaps it's my fault that I wasn't more specific on what I was looking for. Yes, I know it's a lot of running around and sit-down meals. We prefer that.

To go off on a tangent, here's something that I *would* like everyone's honest opinion on:

I'm thinking about ditching the Le Cellier dinner the 1st night we're there to replace it with someone else in the WS Lagoon area. However, I have to remember my wife is a picky eater so I need to make sure that whatever we do has "regular" choices and isn't too exotic.

I was thinking about Marrakesh, or perhaps Nine Dragons. We have the reserved fireworks viewing area at Epcot for illuminations so I'd like to stay on that side if possible.

 

[wdwobsessed]

Now ... to answer your real question. (And if you disagree with something I say then fine but please do not take offense.)

Beaches and Cream - How can you go wrong here? Good choice

Le Celliar - Have not tried yet but it's on my list! I'm jealous!

Cindy's - Going for my B-day too and if my hubby got this ressie for us on my B-day he'd be getting a present later. LOL

Whispering Canyon - We liked this one pretty well. I think dinner seemed more fun from what we observed. Also if you get the "family plated" food ( we did ) would be better to go when the
restaurant is busy so it's not dry. (It was not that busy and the chicken was dry .... everything else was ok ... think it would be better if the place were hoppin' and the food was coming out quicker instead of sitting and waiting to be ordered.)

Chef Mickeys - I liked , DH didn't. Love those mashed potatoes and the energy is fun, good character interaction.

Donalds - Again I liked this one "ok" , DH didn't (he is not a big buffet fan). We found the seating uncomforatable and the characters were the most rushed out of any we have experinced.

50's - I LOVE this place and anyone I have taken there still talks about it! Love it!!

Fultons - Never tried it.

I hope this is more of what you were looking for!

From everything I have heard stay away from Nine Dragons. Of course I LIKE Alfredo's (we only go there for the Fettuchini Alfredo so maybe that is why we like it) and most people do not!

I have wanted to try Marrakesh but I too am afraid because I do not really like exotic flavors.
