Where would you have dinner?

Wow, how awesome is that. Makes me wish I made a thread suggesting where to take the wife for her surprise dinner I booked on April 8th

OMG I'm sooooooooooooooooo excited for you!!!!

This really made me smile ! I think it's amazing when people pay it forward in such a way. I hope you enjoy everything with your family !

Yes, I'm going with *that* option and I'm ecstatic. The offer to make a reservation for my family truly came from out of the blue and from a total stranger. I'm still in shock and keep reading the confirmation over and over. To be able to share this experience with my family is so meaningful. Dinner time is a nightly-sit-around-the-table ritual for us and this is going to rock!

DH's birthday is less than a week before so I'm going to surprise him and the kids. This is truly so unexpected and I agree, I have been lucky enough to meet some very wonderful people on the DIS. I met one of my best girlfriends here and we've been great friends ever since, that was in 2007. Our families have vacationed together several times. Kids, hubbies, we all have so much fun together.

We're doing just this one commando day at the parks so a lovely relaxed sit down meal sounds perfect. In fact it prompted me to use some DVC points and get a room at the Disneyland Hotel so we can have a midday break. I want us all to really appreciate and experience dinner so what better way than after a nice swim and nap? After our long night, instead of driving back to my friends, we'll get to sleep with the amazing light up headboards at the DLH.

You just never know when kindness will show itself. I've been shown some incredible kindnesses lately and am grateful.

Anyone know where I can find good dinner threads or photos? I'm freaking out and so glad I only have to keep it a secret from my whole family for another two weeks. My middle DD is a huge Walt Disney fans, she reads all kinds of biographies on him and she's going to flip. I can't wait for the reveal.

I appreciate everyone's input on where to eat and one day I'll get to try Napa, Carthay, and Steakhouse 55.

Dinner is amazing! When I went they could tell I was geeking out and showed me around everywhere. They also let us watch fantasmic from the balcony, which actually wasn't the best view, but still was awesome. Food, service and drinks were amazing! It's very surreal and I'm so happy for you and your family! Take lots of photos! Have FUN!

I'm beyond excited and have about 100 questions. Maybe I should start a new thread for those? My geek flag always flies high when I'm at Disneyland. What did you eat and drink?
