so there ya go, the bare bones of our trip. and if you are good at maths and adding that up on the way i am making more ADRs than i have credits, yep i cant help it, i love disney food
.
will take you through my ADR choices one by one:
Tusker house- did the breakfast last time, loved the amazing range of food, all the main characters are here so i can hit them in one go, day late birthday treat meal, in the park before it opens which I love, will probably pay OOP.
Raglan Rd- great food, think he will like the entertainment and pub feel, will be nice way to enjoy a DTD night
Rose and crown- i am trying to work my way round all the WS restaurants and i still havent done this one, lunch menu looks much nicer than dinner, quick way to see bit of WS before we tour another day, will feel familiar for him and a pub
Boma- i am showing off the AKL tonight. Jiko and sannaa i am just not sold on their menus and this is such a fab range of food, really enjoyed it years ago and wanted to come back for ages.
Crystal palace- this is the one I may cancel. in the park before it opens again
, love breakfast buffets, more characters for me. would be OOP.
50s prime Time- again may cancel this one but has my fav menu item in all of wdw, pot roast!!!!! i think will be interesting for him to experience this restaurant, we have to eat dinner somewhere, dont want to do fantasmic dinner package this time. HBD is 2 credits, Hollywood and vine is a no way for me, mama melrose i have eaten at for last 3 trips and i am sort of fed up with it. i always have a good time and a good meal here.
Tokyo Dining- we share a passion for sushi in a big way so had to fit this in somewhere, we wont be eating a huge meal here so will pay OOP
Ohana- well i have to show him my fav resort, the Poly
Kona is still on my to do list but if you are bringing someone for the first time who is a total meat lover then ohana is it really, even better if we get a window seat to watch the world. i just know he will love it here. and combine it with cocktails on the beach after and reflecting on the week..pretty perfect really..please do not rain on me this night!!
california grill- well its the last night and nowhere better to come. this is the one he saw on the planning dvd that really got his attention. the view will be stunning, the food will be fab, and we are positioned right next to MK to get in last night fun, what a great last night it should be.
so there ya go, hope you like my choices. if anyone has some better suggestions now you have seen where we are going to be then please let me know. i am sad that i cant find a way to fit the epcot resort area into it but Spoodles is closed right now, i am not an ice cream big lover so beaches and cream i have been there done that, Flying Fish is two credits, i would love to go to Bluezoo, its so amazing, but its not on the dining plan so just a bit too pricey for me.. and as its august looking round in the day is gonna be way too hot. maybe we should stroll round after Illuminations actually. right will leave it there for now and let me know what you think.
