Please help me with kid free trip and meal planning!

Alright I have a package booked 3/10-3/15, if we actually go that is another story. I actually made ADRs before I made the reservation LOL. But I've messed with them so many times and I am still not happy.

3/10 I booked WCC DH loved it when we went before and since the parks close at 7 and its our first day there I figured we could do the parks and eat when we get back to the resort which is WL.

3/11 is our 10th anniversary I have a later CP breakfast because I LOVE Pooh
9:05pm ADR for California grill which I am not happy with. 1 because its later then fireworks and 2 they changed the menu and I am not feeling it. So help with a nice romantic place for us to celebrate.

3/12 50's PT mainly because its our DHS day and I promised the kids we would not try sci fi without them.

3/13 I have switched a million times. Right now its Coral Reef what are the odds of walking up to LeCellier that day?

3/14 Kona

So anyone have any other suggestions for places for us to eat that I am missing. Where would you eat if you were on your 10th anniversary trip with the kids at home. Right now we have DDP BUT we will be getting APs and TIW card so we might drop that.

For your anniversary dinner you might want to try Citricos in the Grand Floridian. Really nice food and a good, quiet atmosphere. I personally feel it's more romantic than California Grill because it's not as loud.

Another option for your special dinner is Yachtmen's Steakhouse at the Yacht Club. It is a traditional steak house with great atmosphere and wonderful menu.

I have a couple of thoughts for you.
First off, even though I know we are in the minority here on the DIS, we did not enjoy Yachtsman Steakhouse. We have tried it 3 times and we will never go back. It is a beautiful restaurant and the service was great, but the food just was not good.
I would go to Jiko for my special dinner. It is a beautiful restaurant and we had warm friendly servers. The food was delicious, and the wine recommended by our server was great. It is quiet and I think romantic.
We have AP's and the TIW card on our last trip and we used the DDP. We were 4 adults and we used it to pay for our appetizers and adult beverages. Since we will use it on more than one trip it definitly paid for itself, even with the DDP
Have a Great Trip

I can share what we did for our 10th anniversary and kid-free trip ...

Anniversary Dinner -- Narcoossee's
I would also rececommend Artist Point where were had dinner for our 8th Anniversary.

Other meals ---
Breakfast
CRT -- Anniversary breakfast before the park opened
Cape May Cafe -- since we stayed at the Beach Club

Lunch
LeCellier -- Always try for a walk-up, but don't count on it. Might be best to try right when opens for lunch or dinner. Can also check earlier in the morning for any cancels that day.

Dinner
Chefs de France
Yachtsman Steakhouse
Flying Fish -- really enjoyed this meal & would recommend for anniversary dinner as well

HAPPY CELEBRATING!

Thanks everyone so far! I appreciate it. For some reason I just can not make up my mind. Too many choices LOL. Can you believe I saw 3 different times for CRT dinner on our anniversary? I am going to talk to DH and see if he wants to do that. I really wanted CG at first but with such a late time, 9pm and the menu just not doing it for me, I am just not that excited.

Artist Pointe is one of the few places I have no interest in ever dining. The menu is not my cup of tea. I was looking at Narcossee's as well as Yachtman's and flying fish.

Jiko is a great suggestion. I also love Flying Fish - it's got great energy and food is fantastic.

I ended up canceling CG for Le Cellier and it ended up being our best meal one trip. Tried Bluezoo that trip also and it was very good, but super expensive. Super-duper expensive!

How about going out to DTD the first night and trying Fulton's Crab House. I love to sit at their bar and eat. Or how about that new place in Pleasure Island? I can't remember the name but it always looked fun!

I can't really offer any suggestions...but my husband and I are planning a trip in May with no kids! Our DDs keep telling us we can't go without them. But, my husband and I have not been on an adult only trip in about 3 years, so we are long overdue! We took the girls to DW 2 X in 09 so they can skip out this go round. I have made our ressies ( so far) at Ohana, Le Cellier, and Flying Fish. Now I need to make our room ressies! LOL! Had to get my priorities straight...food then room.

DH and I are also going kid-free in March. I've booked Il Mulino (but we're staying at the Dolphin anyway), Biergarten (dh wants the beer flight and I figured I'd try the wine flight - what the heck, we're not driving!), CRT for dinner (now I understand there will be princesses so I'm debating canceling), and Brown Derby. We've not been to any of these with our kids which was the goal - all new experiences. Have a great trip!

LOL I did the same thing. We talked about it while we were in WDW for Christmas and I was booking ADRs for the trip in the car on the way home. Of course I've changed them about a million times. Now we are discussing doing the DxDDP so we can get a few of the signature places in. This trip is giving me a headache LOL

As a couple you can get into a lot of restaurants if you're willing to eat at the bar. For your anniversary I'm sure you want a table, but for other meals it may not be a bad plan.
