Please help with narrowed choices...

That 90 day mark is approaching and I have narrowed our Easter meal to... Brunch @ Cape May or Dinner @ California Grill or Liberty tree Tavern OR Rose & Crown.
Opinions?? It will be DH, DS (14), DD (12) and myself.
Thanks in advance!

I don't think you can go wrong with any of those choices. It really depends on your taste. Have you done all of these places before? If not, pick one you haven't tried.

I guess if it was me, I would do brunch at Cape May.

But you really have some good ones to choose from.

Wow, this is going to be a tough one.

My first choice would be dinner at the California Grill. if the park hours are out yet, see what time they have posted for fireworks that night. Most likely the park will be open late (since it's a holiday), so they will probably show Wishes at like 9 or 10pm. Plan on making a PS for around 7:30 or 8pm and ask for a table near the window. Then relax, have a great dinner and watch Wishes from either your table or if you finish before Wishes, then you can head out to the observation deck and watch them from there.

Second choice would be dinner at the Rose & Crown. Make it for 7:30pm and ask for a patio table. This way you can have a great meal, then sit back, have dessert and enjoy Illuminations from the comfort of your table.

I would also strongly recommend making PS arrangements at any of the sit-down restaurants during that time period. Since it is a holiday week, this would help on having to wait in long lines.

For a special Easter meal I would say CA Grille. Easter 2003 we made a last minute trip to Disney. We went down with no PS and Easter morning, while in the lobby of the Contemporary I called and made a PS for that night at CA Grille, at fireworks time. It was a fantastic meal window seat and all. On the next day we made PS for that evening at R&C for Illuminations worked out perfectly. PS doesn't have to be all that stressfull.

For me - I'd do the Cape May brunch, then I could spend the rest of the day at Epcot (a stroll away!). At supper time, when you feel like noshing, just grab quick bites all over World Showcase and do the attractions while others are having their Easter Dinners!

Thanks for all the replies! I am leaning towards the CA Grill, but still lingering over Cape May for Brunch.
Oh well... I love planning and pondering. I actually don't stress about it at all. Have to say though, I have been several times at Easter and never had the good fortune the above poster had with no PS's. (Shouldn't say never - rarely is more accurate!)
Happy planning everyone!
