What Do You Think? Can't Stop Changing My Mind!!

[Terk-1]

Ok. Have a 5 day solo trip planned before family joins me for another 7 days. I keep changing my mind and I'm driving myself crazy. Hopefully this is the last time. What do you think? Anything you would change?

Columbia Harbour House - Lunch
Cape May Cafe - Dinner (never been here before)
Cosmic Rays - Lunch
50's Primetime Cafe - Dinner (must dine on every trip)
Crystal Palace - Breakfast (this is a must for me on every trip & got an 8:05am ADR!!)
Garden Grill - Dinner (have not been in many, many years)
Beaches & Cream - Lunch
Crystal Palace - Dinner (I know I have this twice, but I really enjoy dinner here too)
Sunshine Season - Lunch

Am also looking for one CSR either inside or near the Magic Kingdom.

Aside from Garden Grill, only because I've never been, everything looks really good and is making me hungry. I absolute love Cape May. I'm not a seafood eater but, the seafood lovers in my group loved it as well.

Love Cape May for dinner-desserts are fantastic!! Beaches n cream and CP for bfast are some of my favs

Not a fan of Sunshine Seasons-I know people do really like it but I'd rather have lunch in a country. I love France's bakery for a ham and cheese croissant and cream puff

It's good to hear about Cape May. I like seafood, but not crab claws, mussels or clams still in the shell (clam strips are ok). It looks like there is alot on the menu I would eat, and I am trying to go to some new places this trip.

I was tetering on Sunshine or Boulangerie Patisserie for lunch one day. Definitely would stop to get a chocolate mousse and eclair (but the cream puff sounds good too!

I think this looks great!

One place I definately plan to go is Earl of Sandwhich. SO worth it if you are paying OOP, and delicious. But it's not exactly near MK!

Cream Puff is my fav but there is alot I like in Boulangerie-Napoleans are good too-sometimes I just get desserts there and eat them for bfast

Was planning on getting down to DTD at least one day, so this is good to know.

If these are in the order in which you are doing them, you are park hopping between lunch and dinner every. single. day. Are you comfortable with that (for instance, because you are cherry-picking the attractions you most enjoy before the family comes and you have to go with what the group wants - a completely valid choice) or had you just not thought much about it?

We loved the Cape May dinner; hope you will too.

Would think that Garden Grill might be more fun with a larger group; could you switch this for a time when the family is all there, and try a different Epcot restaurant that night instead? Or if you were not going to do anything in Epcot after dinner, would it be a good night to try another resort restaurant? You're staying at POR; how about dinner at Boatwright's followed by Bob Jackson's show, if it's one of the nights he plays?

For a CS in/near MK: I would let the weather decide. If it's hot, I love to go to Capt Cook's at the Poly. The resort CS locations have more choices than the park CS. And for dessert you can get a Dole Whip and take it outside to eat; they have nice shady tables where you can see the volcano pool, or wander down to the beach. If it's cool/rainy and a Dole Whip is NOT on your agenda, I'd go to the Contempo Cafe. The entree choices seemed a little more 'adult' to me and everything is fresh made-to-order. Big bakery case for multiple dessert choices rather than the cake-in-a-cup you get in the park. And you still get a pretty good Disney vibe from the seating in the concourse.

Will be park hopping each day (AM EMH park, then a PM EMH, if offered). Will be staying at the All Star Sports during this time (transferring over to the French Quarter later in the trip to meet up with family members.

Been thinking about changing the Garden Grille and maybe shift it to when family arrives. Am wondering about giving the Captain's Grille a try over at the Yacht Club instead (never been there either).

Already have ADR's when family arrives at Canada, UK & Italy.

Never thought about the CS at the Poly or Contemporary. Looked at their menus and it looks really good.
