Second Guessing my ADR's

[kamikazecat]

Let me preface this by saying that this is our first visit to WDW. We are DL veterans but have never planned a trip of this magnitude. We are going to be in WDW for two weeks and doing the basic dining plan. I am starting to stress about our ADR's and would love any feedback from anyone on them. There are three of us DH, DS (3), and myself.

If I am counting correctly you have 15 meals planned on DDP and 3 out of pocket. I'm not sure how many nights you're there. I just want to make sure you know that your dining credits are tied to the number of NIGHTS you spend, not the number of days you are there. So if you are there 13 nights/14 days you may have to pay for some additional meals out of pocket in your current plan.

Ooops. I forgot to mention that Sci-fi would be OOP as well. Thanks! We are actually staying 14 nights and have a 7am flight the next morning.

Just a warning that many of us going in June have not been able to get a Sci Fi ADR. Call ASAP

I can comment on the ones we tried.....

Chef Mickey's Breakfast~ We loved the pictures we got of our son with the characters but the food was so so.

Coral Reef Dinner ~ we enjoyed it both times we were there and got seated up against the aquarium the second time

Kona Dinner~ I know you are doing breakfast but I can say Dinner was very good - I have wanted to try breakfast there and if we go in December it will be on my list.

Turf Club was good.

Ohana's was VERY good and fun too.

Wolfgang Pucks we ate at the counter service one and it is really good but crowded.


My all time favorite is Crystal Palace for BREAKFAST and here is why:
early ADR's get you in the park for great picture taking ops with no photo intruders

Breakfast Lasagne and those Pooh Bear Puffs I CRAVE these!

Oh and my son wanted to be in MK all day and loves Winnie and friends.

It did help that we were staying at the WL so all we had to do was catch the boat over to MK. It was harder getting there early when we stayed at SSR and CSR.

I can't comment on the others but it really looks like you have a good selection.

Have fun!

These are the ADR's that we already have booked.

Thanks for your input!!! We are going to rent a car so I think that might help us in getting to our ADR's as well

Day 1
Teppan Edo (Dinner)

Everything I have read has been positive!

Day 2
Chef Mickey's (Breakfast)
T-Rex (Dinner- OOP)

We didn't like CMs for dinner but hopefully breakfast is good. We are trying T-Rex for the 1st time so we'll see.

Day 3
Sci-Fi (Lunch) May just have some Appetizers/Milkshakes (or cancel)
The Wave (Dinner)

Again, never read a bad thing about Sci-Fi and have read that The Wave is good and has some healthier choices.

Day 4
Ohana (breakfast)
1900 Park Faire (Dinner)

Love 'Ohana and one of only 2 ADRs we are repeating but for dinner.

Day 5
Coral Reef (Dinner)

Food was good, view of the tank was awesome!

Day 6
Kona (Breakfast-OOP)
Tony's Town Square (Dinner)

Tony's is the other ADR we are repeating. I love Lady and the Tramp. Both the food and atmosphere were wonderful.

Day 7
Planet Hollywood (OOP)

I have never been been a Planet Hollywood fan. It's like Denny's food with a better theme. Sorry.

Day 8
Le Cellier (Lunch)

Again, trying for the 1st time. Heard the steak with mushroom risotto is amazing!

Day 9
Ohana (Dinner)

See above.

Day 10
Hollywood and Vine (Breakfast)

Haven't heard much about it.

Day 11
Turf Club (Dinner)

Day 12
Wolfgang Pick Cafe (Dinner)

Haven't been to either.

Day 13
Crystal Palace (Dinner)

Will be trying this trip. Looks really fun!

Day 14
Tutto Italia (Dinner)

I think this menu looks tasty.

 

[kamikazecat]

Thanks Rentayenta. The main reason we are doing Planet Hollywood is because we will have the $15 credit so it makes sense to use it.

 

[MariDisney]

I'll comment on the ones we've tried.

Chef Mickey's (Breakfast)We like it for dinner, but don't care for it at breakfast. We like the other character breakfasts better.

Sci-Fi (Lunch) May just have some Appetizers/Milkshakes We like it here for the atmosphere. Very fun! And good shakes!

Ohana (breakfast) A great breakfast. Very fun. Good food.
1900 Park Faire (Dinner) Another fun choice with good food.

Coral Reef (Dinner) We hate it here. Loud. Loud. Loud. Chaotic. Good food. Horrible service. We've been twice and that's enough for us. It's impossible to relax at all in here.

Tony's Town Square (Dinner) We didn't like it. We thought the food was 2 steps below Olive Garden and we felt rushed by the service.

Planet Hollywood (OOP) Pretty standard chain restaurant experience.

Le Cellier (Lunch) Love! Great food and great atmosphere.

Ohana (Dinner) One of our favorites. We love the food. We try to schedule it so we watch Wishes from here.

Crystal Palace (Dinner) Our absolute favorite breakfast sport. We haven't ever tried for dinner.
