When going out for dinner, do you go in with a dinner in mind?

Thinking this may be the way to approach eating on the Magic. Check over the menus ahead of time, have a list of what I'll have for appetizer, dinner, desert. May spread out appetizers to have for dinner or desert - whatever, just have a plan. I know if I take the time to actually look at the menu I may be in worse trouble.

So when you go out for dinner do you go with a plan in mind?

Absolutely!!

Whenever possible, I try to get a restaurant's menu ahead of time so that I can at least have an IDEA of what I will order. It makes it so much easier, and I find I'm less likely to order something I shouldn't on an impulse.

That is exactly what I do. I find it easier, so that I am not having to take an hour to decide what is within my points. I also do this for Disney, and vacations to some destinations are harder.

I definitely like planning ahead ... it makes it easier for me to keep track of how I want to spend my points. Of course when I get to the restaurant, I usually get sidetracked by the bread basket Bread points can quickly add up for me!

I plan ahead, too. My husband had 3 dinner requests this year - San Angel Inn, Restaurant Marrakesh, and Bistro de Paris. I'm studying the menus already to see what's appropriate. It's a great way of planning.

I ALWAYS plan what I'm going to eat. I think it's kind of fun. When we went to WDW at christmas time last year, I knew every restaurant and almost every meal I was going to order.

Yes, I do. Usually steak, shrimp scampi, lobster in butter or mahi mahi. Sounds like a good idea, Barb. Thank goodness the cruise board has all kinds of information like that available
