I have really enjoyed reading about your disneymoon. We are leaving for ours on Dec. 27th and have several of the same ADR's you did. Thanks so much for such a great thread to get me excited about going even more.
We're staying AKV Concierge next Sept and I'm thinking of doing DDxP for the first time- but it looks like a TON of food! But SOOOOO fun!!Thanks for keeping me entertained while I wait for trick-or-treaters!
Congratulations!!!
It was very informative. We are going on our honeymoon next month and will also be staying at the AKL and doing the DxDP. I can't wait to try Cali Grill! We are also doing Jiko and I am kind of scared about the "exotic" tastes too. We are not fancy eaters at all, but want to go all out on our honeymoon. I plan to try the steak and macaroni too. That's a good idea to ask for the sauce on the side! 
As for the cheese soup, I do not think I would order it again. This was another I was realy looking forward to, but tasted completely different than I thought it would. Now in the Midwest *maybe elsewhere too, I'm not sure* we have a restaurant called Cheddar's and they have an amazng cheese soup. Very cheesey, slight ham/bacon taste. I can't go there without eating it. In my head that is what Lecellieres would taste like, but it almsot seemed more like a mix between cheddar/potato soup without the potato chunks. I ended up dipping my bread in it and that wasn't bad. As for the filets- Mine was good....Dh's was GREAT!! I stupidly made the mistake of being a chicken, not wanting to go out of the box and subbed for the mashed potatoes. Don't get me wrong, the mashed was good, but when I tried his risotto with the filet it just went together perfectly. P.S.- I also do not like mushrooms, but you really don't notice them, so don't let that scare you away from this dish. DH was very kind and let me have some of his risotto. DH loved his creme brulee, which was also a first for him. My smores wasn't that great, really wished I had gone with the chocolate cake, but the whiskey in the name scared me So after 3 rouns of Smore's desserts, 50's Primetime definitely won in that category!!
I only gained 2, but I was doing alot more excercise than I normally do at my desk job. I am currently planning a trip for us for end of nov- early december, provided things work out. Am I planning on doing the dining plan? Only if its free. I don't have anything against it, I just think I am currently remembering how full I was and am shell shocked and need a break. Even at breakfast on our last day at Boma, we hadn't ate anything that day and barely ate one plate bc the thought of more food just turned our stomachs. The waitress even couldn't believe we were finished already and I actually said "Well, this is our last day of deluxe dining and can't take anymore of it." Being CL didn't help either, if we hadn't been CL, we could have spread it more out and did more breakfasts and did snacks for lunch. I hope you all find me on my next report. Currently the ideas that I am running for next time are *subject to change* -Ohana, T-Rex, Cape May, Kona, California Grill....but I keep changing my mind so who knows We are wanting to stay at Port Orleans Riverside. I am so glad you all tuned in and hope you all have a great time on your next trips!! I am leaving you with our Top Picks of our trip!
I also love that you are a newlywed (I got married in May), a scrapbooker, and from IL. We also spent half of our honeymoon in the World. I have no review though, b/c I didn't find out about DIS until last week. :-O I know!
