Dining Anyone???
We has the Deluxe Dining again...YAY!
There are 4 of us...Me (mom) 48 years old and a lover of the Deluxe Dining Plan, Cary (step dad) 45 year old lover of doing what he wants when he wants but generally just follows along, Tyler (son) 20 years old and loved steak as much as possible, and Skyler (daughter) 15 year old semi-picky eater.
ADRs were remarkably easy to get and I could have gotten the hard ones even...Ohana for dinner (which we don't like), Cinderella's, Be Our Guest for dinner (eh), etc...if I had wanted to.
So here's the important stuff...
Planet Hollywood 7-27-19 @ 8:15pm (cancelled the day before we left)
T-Rex 7-28-19 @ 11:00am
Sci-Fi 7-29-19 @ 11:00am 3
Cape May Cafe 7-29-19 @ 5:50pm 4
Crystal Palace 7-30-19 @ 8:10am' 4
California Grill 7-30-19 @ 5:00pm 6
Akershus 7-31-19 @ 8:10am 4
Via Napoli 7-31-19 @ 2:00pm 3
Coral Reef 7-31-19 @ 8:55pm 3
Tuskerhouse 8-1-19 @ 10:30am 4
Yak &Yeti 8-1-19 @ 8:30pm 3
Garden Grill 8-2-19 @ 8:10am 4
Mama Melrose 8-2-19 @ 1:45pm 4
Narcoossees 8-2-19 @ 8:45pm 6
House of Blues 8-3-19 @ 11:00am
All of these are places and meals we have done before but most of them have been a while.
Planet Hollywood may get scrapped because while it was a good meal, it was an expensive one if you're not on a dining plan, and at that time we will not be. So, it still may get cancelled in lieu of better options and more flexibility.
Even at 20 and 15 the kids still ask for T-Rex every time. We have Rainforest Cafes around here so we never go to them in Orlando but T- Rex is a different story!
As you can see by the numbers to the right, we do not intend to use four or eight credits at all meals.
Like at Sci-Fi, Skye usually does not want any of the entrees so she will get the wings appetizer and share anything else she does want and the rest of us will order for the rest of the credits. She loves the venue and if she does not feel full, there are snack credits to use up. And then, like at California Grill, her favorite is the Kid's Mac & Cheese...so she will get that and we'll pay out of pocket for it. She will share the other things we all order too. So she has never left hungry. She and I usually share a lot. Deluxe Dining is a lot of food!
House of Blues is new for us...I reserved through Open Table because the Disney site did not have any times listed for the Bayou Brunch. I have never used Open Table before. Skye went to the House of Blues with choir when they were on a weekend trip to Downtown Chicago and she said it was fun. So hopefully this one is the same before we head home. This will be out of pocket too!
