Have you eaten at V&A's? I have an ADR there and I glanced at a sample menu. I am a little concerned that I may not like thier choices for main courses...so I may change those ressies to Narcoosee's. I was also thinking maybe emailing the IPO staff and asking them if they could suggest something special to be awaiting us when we arrive, as a nice "Thank you" to my Prince Charming. Ever done anything like that?
Litlpixie, I apologize for not having been on the Dis since the beginning of last month,
~gulp~. I am now reading through the last several pages of this thread so that I can bring myself up-to-speed regarding whats new with the resort.
I saw your post that asked about Victoria & Alberts. My family has dined there many times over the years. That includes taking my (at the time) young son with us to many of our dinner reservations. If you have kids, you probably know that they arent always the most adventurous types when it comes to food. But for some crazy reason my son had a ball trying things like buffalo carpaccio (thinly, sliced raw meat) or melon soup (chilled soup). I was amazed at how adventuresome he was each time we dined at the restaurant.
I will be at Victoria & Alberts again very soon. This will be my young daughters first visit to the restaurant and she is very excited about it. Well be joined at dinner by a few of our friends, and for a majority of them, this will be their first visit to the restaurant too. Most of us have been exchanging photos via e-mail of what were going to wear (we live in various states across the country). Besides discussing our attire, I think everyone has pretty much decided to go with the wine-pairings (*hiccup*). My daughter has already volunteered to be our designated driver. Shell be the one who will be pushing the buttons in the elevator, handling the room keys, and then making sure that everyone arrives safely in their actual room (most of us are staying at the resort). It should really be a fun dinner. Some of my favorite Victoria & Albert's memories are of group dinners that were spent there.
Litlpixie, Im hopeful that youll keep your Victoria & Alberts reservation. Their food really is quite scrumptious (even if the names of the dishes are fancy-sounding). But if you decide to switch your reservation over to Narcoossees, I'm sure you'll have a yummy meal.
You asked about potential treats for your significant other. My family has experienced a lot of really fun ones. Weve been the recipients of everything from chocolate chip cookies & milk (

click here). My uneducated guess is that one of the most requested treats probably is a plate full of tuxedo (a.k.a., chocolate-covered) strawberries (
click here). Theyre yummy. Dont forget that you can either arrange for something to be delivered to your room via the IPO / Private Dining or via the
Disney Florist. Please note that the Disney Florist is capable of putting together some really fun items (
click here). Simply let them know what you want and they should be able to take care of it for you. I used them earlier this year and they did not disappoint.
Have fun planning your vacation. If you have any further questions, please post them (Ill try to hang around here a little more frequently!).
) and asked them to go to town, so to speak, and find me dinner ressies.......I wished them luck. Boy, I'll tell you, if they come through for me on this, I would be forever grateful.....
waiting to see what happens!!!
