Recommendations for Valentine's Day and an ADR with DDP?

[emsmommy323]

Hello everyone, we are going to be at Disney during Valentine's Day and would like to do a nice dinner . Via Napoli doesn't have any openings that work with our schedule. ANy recommendation for us (2 adults and 2 kids ages 8 and 5). Thanks! We'd like to only use 1 Table service credit here.

We will be there at the same time we are going to Captains Grill for VDay It will be our first time there but reviews seem pretty good. Also I would think Ranglan Road would be a good choice we love that place but will be there on Sunday. I would say Tutto but it will be closed for refurb. Are you wanting something at Epcot? If so Teppan is cool and the kids would have fun but don't know if it is the type of feel you are wanting for V-Day where are you already eating? If you wanted to go some where more for the kids you could also do T-Rex or RainForest your kids are the age they would probably love that.

We have ADR's for the Crystal Palace (monday lunch), Akershus (Wed dinner), Via Napoli (dinner Thursday) and Le Cellier (Fri dinner). We're only doing Akershus for dd who wants to eat with the princesses. I would cancel this one if I could.

Ok lets see

If using the buses and will be at Epcot look at
Teppan Edo
Coral Reef - our last meal wasn't the best but before that it was our favorite and very neat being in the aquarium look at the menu and recent reviews

if location doesn't matter
you might like Captain Grill it is at the Yachtclub menu might be a lot like LeCellier
You could try O'hana at the Poly it is neat but I felt I got a work out they brought the food out so fast.
We like Kona Cafe at the Poly too that might be pretty good choice

Also Raglan Road it is at downtown disney. The "it's not bleeding chowder" is my favorite meal of all time anywhere. The kids chicken it like a huge piece of white meat battered and fried it isn't like the heavy breaded chicken or nuggets. The batter is more the texture of long john silver so is the kids fish. If you go some evenings they have irish band and dancer that perform pretty neat. Also their desserts are incredible!!!!

Since T-rex and Rainforest are on the Dining plan now if you are on that you could go to either of them but would be more for the kids you know! Have fun doesn't look like we have any overlaping ADR we will be there Sunday thru Friday can't wait! Hope the weather is as great as it was this time last year

Oh I hope the weather is beautiful too! We'll be staying at Pop and have ParkHoppers. I'm foreseeing Tuesday we will be at Animal Kingdom. Is it unreasonable to think that we would still be there for dinner if we go early in the morning (kids are early risers and I know the animals are more active then). Thank you for your help!

I think Animal Kingdom closes at 6pm. For us at AK we get there when they first open because the animals are just coming out and getting fed so it seems you see more. Usually we leave around lunch time then go back after a little break last time we had a DD 15 month old and DS 8 so we had to leave for her to take a nap. This time we will get there when they open and since they close so early now we are eating lunch at the AK Rainforest Cafe then we will go back in till they are ready to go probably about 4 or so. I think if you watch all the shows and stuff you could spend all day there if you take a nice time to eat lunch, have a great trip

Well, I just combined my two questions and we are now doing a lunch (115) on Valentine's Day! That way if we are tired we will be able to go back to the hotel and have a quiet night and maybe a nap. Or wouldn't it be the perfect night to go see Wishes? Geez, now my mind's just rolling!

I hope you all have a wonderful time!!!!

DF, my mom, dad and I went to Disney last Feb over Valentine's Day. DF and I got engaged in front of the castle on the 10th.

DF and I ate at Bistro de Paris on Valentine's Day and my mom and dad ate at Libery Tree Tavern. After dinner, we all met up at MK to watch Wishes. From what I can recall, there wasn't anything more romantic or different about them. But just being at the MK with my DF watching Wishes on Valentine's Day was one of the most romantic things ever.

So I would definitely recommend Wishes on V day!

Just saw on allears that "the Magic, the Memories and You" is getting a special "romantic" theme on Valentine's Day! You should definitely check that out

I don't have any suggestions, but my husband and I are eating at Kona Cafe on Valentine's Day. Nothing fancy, but it supposedly has really great food! This will be my 1st Disney trip.
