Running The Half, Dis Meets, Deluxe Dining,& SSR! BACK. Had a great time!

[Lynn5700]

Any new planning updates? We've decided to go back for a long weekend in Feb and I need to start thinking about ADRs!

Hey! No not really...but can you believe we are only 72 days away!! Crazy!

Good for you! Where you want to eat?

That's so awesome! How cheap are tickets there? They get so crazy expensive here! You have to get really lucky to get good seats that don't cost $300! You'll have to show me pictures if you go!!

Hey you!! Oh they are expensive here too!! I'm trying to get tickets on the Denver sideline... I will let you know!! Tim is supposed to be getting me a ticket for Christmas. He is looking into getting the tickets now, but won't tell me where they are. I can't wait!!

Hey Lynn!! I am coming over from my PTR to yours!

And I am going back now to Page 1 to read more but I just wanted to say that we will also be at Saratoga Springs when you are there!! We're starting at AKV from the 26th-31st and then moving over to SSR until January 4th. Maybe I'll see you there!

Have a great afternoon!
Katie

Hi Katie! OOOH that's awesome!! I hope I get to see you! That would be cool. I requested to be in Congress Park. Love that section!

Just wanted to say hey Lynn!

Hi girlie!!! What's going on? I have been so busy with school. I'm sure you are too!


I should have an update soon everybody!! Some plans have changed so I will post them.. nothing bad. It's all good

School is going well and so is my training! I have a Halloween party on Halloween and a 10K on Nov 1st. That's about it going on in my life right now!

What are you going to be for Halloween?

I'm thinking of Sci Fi because we didn't get to go our last trip even though we had an ADR. Also thinking of Captain's Grill and Liberty Tree Tavern.

Yeah he's pretty awesome, lol.

I'm being a pirate. I will post pics.

OOOH Sci fi is a good one!!! I have never been to Captains Grill. Is it good?

Hey Lynn~ Thought I wouldn't just lurk and come out and say "hi." Love your trip report! So fun you are doing the half! I'm going to do it in a couple of years. I've been running 5 & 10k's for 2 years now. Just need to take that leap to a 1/2 marathon. I hope to do the 1/2 the year a turn 40 at disney I still have a few years before that happens
Can't wait to hear all about it!!
Take care~

Hey guys! Okay, so, I had to cancel our lunch at LTT the day of the half marathon because I heard that LTT is going back to having the characters until CP reopens. They will also be serving the family style food like they do at dinner. I have seen reviews on LTT dinner and in my opinion the food looks like microwave stouffers food. We are know going to have lunch at Kona instead. YUM! We love Kona. I have been for dinner before, but I have never been for lunch.

Now this is where I need your help. On one of our DHS days, we are having lunch at Mama Melrose. I'm not so sure I want to go there now because I looked over the menu again and it doesn't sound all that great to me. Where do you think we should go... we were going to do 50s PTC, but they are not offering lunch in January and we are already eating at Sci Fi for lunch and eating at Brown Derby for dinner and H&V is out of the picture, lol!

I was thinking of going over to one of the resorts like Boardwalk, Yacht Club or Beach Club... what do you guys recommend?

 

[disneygirlinnj]

Hmm... I'm not really sure what restaurants are open for lunch at the hotels? I was going to suggest Kouzzina at the BW but I know they don't have lunch... let me think a bit and get back to you

yeah I was thinking about Kouzina but they don't serve lunch. Ugh IDK. Maybe we should just hop over to Epcot for lunch.

Should I just keep Mama Melrose?

 

[jenny105]

Why don't you eat at Beaches & Cream? It's cute and quick! I've never tried any of the other restaurants around there other than ESPN Zone but I've heard Captain's Grille is pretty good.

 

[manntra]

I was going to mention Kouzzina's too but yeah they don't serve lunch. The Captain's Grille doesn't look too bad at the YC. Beaches and Cream is good...have eaten there but mostly because it was out of convenience when staying at the BC.
I would probably head over to Epcot...endless options there and it always seems that I go to my favorites there and there is so much left to try. Maybe you could try someplace new too.
The only places I really like at HS are the choices you mentioned.....Sci-Fi, HBD and PTC.

We went to ESPN at the Boardwalk and it was really good. It was a lot of food and only ate a few bites of my sandwhich. There is also Captain's Grill at either Yacht or Beach club that I head was really good.

 

[Charleston Princess]

If I were you, I would head over to Beaches and Cream for lunch -- if you like hamburgers and ice cream. I always catch myself drooling over pictures from there.

 

[wdwgirl03]

Mama Melrose's is good but I agree with the people who said go to Beaches and Cream. Totally forgot about that place!

 

[xoktenox]

Mama Melrose is good, on par with Olive Garden I would say. But I'm going to go with the others who say Beaches and Cream too. Cheaper and probably better food including amazing ice cream! lol

 

[Lynn5700]

I was thinking either Beaches & Cream, or Captain's Grille. Does Beaches & Cream take the DP and reservations?

I was going to mention Kouzzina's too but yeah they don't serve lunch. The Captain's Grille doesn't look too bad at the YC. Beaches and Cream is good...have eaten there but mostly because it was out of convenience when staying at the BC.

Epcot is a choice as well... the only other restaurant I would want to try, that we have never been to, is Rose & Crown. I'm going to look into B&C and CG...we are eating at Yachtsman later that night so I may be leaning towards B&C.

We went to ESPN at the Boardwalk and it was really good. It was a lot of food and only ate a few bites of my sandwhich. There is also Captain's Grill at either Yacht or Beach club that I head was really good.

Hey Tori! Did you start your TR yet? I'm going to look into CG.

If I were you, I would head over to Beaches and Cream for lunch -- if you like hamburgers and ice cream. I always catch myself drooling over pictures from there.

Hi! I know Tim would love it there!

Mama Melrose's is good but I agree with the people who said go to Beaches and Cream. Totally forgot about that place!

Looks like B&C is winning, lol!!

Mama Melrose is good, on par with Olive Garden I would say. But I'm going to go with the others who say Beaches and Cream too. Cheaper and probably better food including amazing ice cream! lol

Oh no, it's like Olive Garden? Forget it then.. the only thing I like at Olive Garden is soup and salad lol!

I'm going to look into the places you guys recommended. I will let you know what I decided. Thank you soooooo much for the help! I knew I could count on you all

 

[Lynn5700]

Okay so I looked into Beaches & Cream.. I think we will just go there to get ice cream to go or something... Captain's Grille looks good, BUT I looked into Big River Grille & Brewing Works and WOW that menu looks really good. I feel like we would get great use out of the Deluxe Dining plan if we go there.

Have any of you been there? I don't hear much about it in the restaurant forums.

 

[tlhbdm]

Lynn-no I haven't started my TR yet, I'm busy scrapbooking and stuff, I just don't have time. I may just do a dining report. I have not of pictures to upload though, that is what takes forever!

 

[Lynn5700]

Well let me know when you start it

Okay so I think I'm going to go with Captains Grille, lol.

I forgot today is the 180 ADR day so of course I can't book it right now because the online system is down and the phone line is busy. Oh well.

Ok I will! I heard a bunch of people saying that captains grille was really good, good luck with booking the ADR.

 

[Lynn5700]

Thanks Tori. I'm sure I'll get it.... I'll just book it later.
