What Should I Cut Out???

[disneyfav4ever]

Can't decide where I want to make my ADR's, here's my plan so far, but I know it's to big. (This is for next Oct/Nov so I still have plenty of time to work it out.)

Dinner - Boma

24th

Lunch - Liberty Tree Tavern
Dinner - Ohana

25th

Breakfast - Fresh
Dinner - Brown Derby

26th

Lunch - Olivia's
Dinner - Chefs de France

27th

I'll either be solo, or with my boyfriend, (who likes to try new restaurants.) I've already eaten at a couple of these places, but he's never even been to WDW, let alone eaten at the restaurants, so I know I want him to try my favorites.

 

[Got Quattro?]

way too much....just pick 1 place to sit down a day either brkfst, lunch, or dinner then snack or counter service when needed.

We like to do 2-3 TS per day, if we have a full day at Disney, so I don't see that being a problem.

Things I would cut out - don't do Boma on the same day that you're doing PftS - WAAAY too much. Switch Boma with another day, do a regular TS breakfast on your Party day.

I would also not do anything for lunch the day of the Party, on the 4th, just have a late breakfast.

I'm not sure if you have your heart set on 'Ohana, but I now recommend Texas de Brazil on Sand Lake Rd instead of 'Ohana. Much higher quality and more variety.

Also, I'm not sure if you've done a Sweet Sunday before, but I've really only ever heard disappointing reviews of them.

 

[disneyfav4ever]

As far as doing 2-3 TS meals a day, I believe what it says in Forever 42's sig, the best part about Disney is the food, though I'm not sure I'd be able to do three meals a day, I did that once last trip with CP, Tony's and Ohana, so a buffet breakfast, and then Tony's, and then all - u - can eat at Ohana's was way to much.

I'll be staying on Disney property, probably without a rental car, and I really like Ohana, so that's something I really want to do.

The 4th is too crowded, I know that, but my only option would be to switch Plaza from that day, and put it on the 29th, and possibly only do one Sweet Sunday, (never done before.) I don't know what day to switch Boma, the breakfast to.

These are the ones I really want to keep -

At least one Boma, Ohana, Blue Zoo, Le Cellier, California Grill, Brown Derby, and Flying Fish for dinners, as well as Party for the Senses.

Crystal Palace is the only breakfast I'm absoultly set on. I really want to try Liberty Tree and Crystal Palace for lunch, as well as going to Mama Melrose's for their flatbread, and Beaches & Cream for ice cream.

Since you're going to be at WDW when the F&W is taking place, I would cut out some of the restaurants at Epcot. For the days you're going to Epcot, you might not want to eat breakfast or not eat lunch. We end up eating our way around the world showcase at the different food booths and it can be very filling!

 

[Forever42]

Are you absolutely set on going to the Plaza? We've only been the one time and just haven't had the desire to go back.

Also, yeah, we did two buffets in one day (with no lunch in between, even), and never, ever, ever again

What about switching Boma and the Yacht Club Galley breakfasts? Er...and maybe doing B+C another day for just ice cream?

 

[disneyfav4ever]

If I take out the Boma breakfast, and Plaza lunch, and move the Yacht Club Galley breakfast to the 28th, that makes my list look much more managable. I still would have three meals on the 26th and 27th, which may be too much two days in a row, unless I get rid of Kona - ate there before, want to try more of the food, but could save for a later trip.

 

[Cookie Princess]

Crystal Palace for lunch which is a buffet and CA Grill for dinner would be too much food for me. CA Grill is awesome and when I show up, I want to be starving. If it were me, I would do a big breakfast that day instead. Just my thoughts...

 

[disneyfav4ever]

I made some changes to my list. Any opionins on what I have planned? Or on the restaurants themselves?

 

[snowbunny]

This seems doable to me, you've got two meals a day; I assume you are not going to have more than a bite in the a.m. on the day you are having sitdown lunch and dinner. Just because you're not doing counter service (we avoid it if at all possible) doesn't mean you're going to eat until you burst.

I agree with the poster who advised to lighten up on some of the World Showcase restaurants, though, especially at lunch - you are going to want to sample Food & Wine offerings. I would delete Nine Dragons and eat lunch by walking around the F&W booths that day.

I've gone on 4 solo trips (with the 5th planned for next year) and found myself cutting back on alot of sit-down's, as it is alot after awhile. I found myself eating lighter lunches, when I had nicer sit-down dinners & vice-versa.

23rd
Dinner - Boma

24th
Lunch - Liberty Tree Tavern -- Cut this as it will be alot with O'hana's that night.
Dinner - Ohana

25th
Breakfast - Fresh
Dinner - Brown Derby -- Would do 50's Primetime before I did this place.

26th
Lunch - Olivia's
Dinner - Chefs de France

27th
Breakfast - Crystal Palace
Dinner - Blue Zoo

28th
Breakfast - Boatwright's
Dinner - Party for the Senses

29th
Lunch - Concourse Steakhouse
Dinner - Citricos

30th
Lunch - Mama Melrose's
Dinner - Le Cellier

31st
Lunch - Crystal Palace -- Favorite place to dine at the MK!
Dinner - California Grill -- I would do this later in the evening, say 8pm. This way you can dine, then watch Wishes from either your table or their private deck.

1st
Lunch - Wolfgang Puck Cafe
Dinner - Jiko

2nd
Breakfast - Yacht Club Galley
Dinner - Garden Grill

3rd
Lunch - Nine Dragons -- Have not heard of good things from here. Try Sunshine Season.
Dinner - San Angel Inn -- Have not heard of good things from here either.

4th
Breakfast - Kona -- Thought this was just ok the last time I dined here.
Dinner - Party for the Senses

5th
Lunch - Rose & Crown - Would do this for dinner versus lunch. Get a 7:15-7:30pm PS. This way you can eat a great meal, then view Illuminations.
Dinner - Flying Fish -- Would recommend Spoodles over here.

I would not cut out Citrico's from your list, that is probably the best food I have had in a long time on property. JMO

We ate at Crystal Palace for lunch and then LTT for dinner and we were STUFFED! In fact, I would have only had reservations for one or the other.
