We also had a great experience at 50's too. Our 15 yr old niece didn't eat her peas and the waitress brought them back as a pea sundae complete with whipped cream, sprinkles and a cherry on top.
Can't wait to hear all about it!
YEAH! Back on board! I'm along for the ride, I can't wait. I love the last picture of the boys too. Deluxe dining, good for you. We really enjoyed 1900 Park Fare until we went this past Aug. The food quality had declined quite a bit but the entertainment more than made up for the food. We never laughed so hard
about the pea ice cream sundae! 1900 Park Fare was a huge deal for me! The boys wanted to "visit" the Grand Floridian and when I told them we could eat there, they were excited.....then I told them about the Princess being there and they said "Good mom, now you can finally eat with a princess"
I am glad you are here, thanks for joining us! whoo hoo... count me in
BTW, we stayed in the Grandstand this past September and LOVED IT! We've also stayed in Congress Park two or three times and the Paddock once.
We have Congress Park, DTD view as first priority for next month's trip and Grandstand as our second preference. We'll see!
thanks for joining us! I was so torn between Grandstand and Congress Park but June isvery busy and I like the idea of being first on and off with the busses. How were your bus experiences while staying there?
. The food at dinner is pretty good as long as the boys don't mind Cinderella and Prince charming. It's a fun meal though. Thomas is at a stage where he doesn't like any Princesses, except Jasmine 
. So I guess maybe I would try one of those for breakfast. Also have you thought of Cape May Cafe for breakfast? We just ate there last month and it was pretty good. But Park fare gets best breakfast IMO. Just making suggestions though since you still have time to think your ADR's over. from them every trip. 1900 park Fare is good for breakfast & dinner but I say breakfast is one of the best on property. California Grill is back on our list too since we haven't been there since 2006.
WELCOME
Hi Diane,
Thanks for PMing me. Things have just been so crazy here. I love the new pics of the boys, adorable. They are growing up so fast. The rockband party looks great too. That is what Kaylee wants to do for her Bday, sort of. Just have her all girlfriends over to play Rockband and sleep over.
Anyway onto the ADR's. I guess you will be just paying OOP when your at AKLV after your credits end. Breakfast opinions first. I have never been to Tusker House but it's on the must do list for next trip. I see you have that and Crystal Palce twice?? Have you thought of Boma for breakfast because I hear it is very good. Our favorite character breakfast's are 'Ohana for characters/atmosphere, food is pretty good too. But we loved 1900 Park Fare for breakfast. The food was excellent! The characters there are Tigger, Pooh, Mad Hatter, ALice, and Mary Poppins. I see you have it booked for dinner though
Your lunches look great. Yak & Yeti is my list to try because of your review. Teppan Edo also is on my list. Rose & Crown gets mixed reviews but a few people I have talked to love it especially during Illuminations. Of course they lucky and got and outside table. I think and ADR for 7:30 would work best. The rest look great.
Your dinners look excellent too! A few of those are on my list for next trip. Do you like Mama Melrose or are you doing the Fantasmic pkg? My DH hates the food there, I thought it was okay though. I would still choose there or HOllywood Brown Derby for FDP though. One other I was not too sure about was Cape May Cafe for dinner. We loved the breakfast and haven't had dinner there yet. Our friends from Jackson have though and they said it was just okay. Yachtsman has always got
Anyway I think your ADR's look great and you will have fun trying a few new places.
The one really great thing about the buffets is that the kids can have a break from the chicken nuggets, mac & cheese, pizza & ice cream standard kids menu stuff! 1900 Park Fare is 100% for me! I NEVER get to eat with the princess because well......I birthed pirates! Anyway, the boys and Bryan were totally on board and I showed them reviews of how funny the step sisters are! Let's hope that by June it is still the same set up! Yes, we will be paying OOP for those last 4 days at AKLV. We are hoping to go to the new T-Rex restaurant! WOO HOO something for boys! At Mama's we will be doing the fantasmic package, I have always read mixed reviews of Mama's but we have never had a bad experience. Thanks so much for all your sweet comments about the boys and your imput! I love all of your beautiful pictures! I am really excited about SSR! I hope we get our requests!
I have thought this ENTIRE time I could make our SSR ressie on Thursday, but I CAN'T.
I am off by a day and will have to wait until Friday! Not really a BIG deal but still I can't wait to just have it made already, kwim? If you find the answers before me, I'll send your kids a postcard from WDW! 
. Have you been to CRT before? Thomas loved eating in the castle and the food was excellent too. I haven't gotten to those days on my trippie yet.The only one I can help with is HDD. I believe it is every night and there are two (maybe 3) sittings each night. If you pay by credit card, you will be charged in full at that time.
HTH
I can help you with one
this applies to Cirque de Soleil show:
Performances are held from Tuesday through Saturday at 6:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m. There are no performances on Sundays and Mondays.
Reservations can be made up to six months in advance
Okay, I found some more info, this time regarding Fantasmic
In an effort to cut costs due to rising gasoline prices and a predicted drop in the tourist industry because of a potential economic crisis, Disney is setting Fantasmic on a reduced performance schedule. Starting January 4th, 2009, Fantasmic will only be performed twice a week, meaning crowds for this already popular performance will be even bigger. If you're planning on seeing this show, you'd better stand in line early.
Disney has confirmed it is reducing the amount of performances on its entertainment schedule, with the nighttime spectacular now generally being performed on Monday and Thursday evenings
I copied and pasted that. When I Read a bit further it said, more shows would be offered during busier times of year. So I am not sure if the time you are going falls in that category
Another reason for this is that AMerican Idol is going to be opening and their shows are going to be performed at the same time. This way guests will not have to make a choice between Fantasmic or American Idol since they will be operated on different days.
Just a few more day until you make your SSR ressie. Grandstand should be great! Hoop Dee Doo is our next trip list too. Looks really fun. Cirque has been on Kaylee's to do list for a while. But she would rather stay at a deluxe then go to a show. SO I have to keep it in mind. I agree keep 1900 Park Far for dinner, you need to have a Princess meal too
Wow 8 days you must be soooooooooo excited! Thanks for the info!
Have you decided yet?
