Where are your ADRs?

[tappenfeat]

Sunday...8/29. It will be our first time there. I'm excited to try it out! And also the Garden Grill is a first for us also!

[TinaMouse]

I've added another ADR....gee whiz!

Tea at GF. Big surprise !

[MousePal]

Day 1 - Ohana (D)
Day 2 - Sci-Fi (L) / Rose and Crown (D)
Day 3 - Crystal Palace (D)
Day 4 - Shula's (D)
Day 5 - LeCellier (D)
Day 6 - Raglan Road (D)
Day 7 - Liberty Tree (D)
Day 8 - Biergarten (D)
Day 9 - Benihana (D)
Day 10 - Mama Melrose (L) / Crystal Palace (D)
Day 11 - California Grill (D)

Note: These ADR's took many a night having coctails on my patio with the laptop to secure. Have decided that this is the final with no more tweaking as I've had enough just thinking about them.

[Karin]

Ok, finally got it all the ADRs squared away for our Nov. WDW trip.

Day 1 - Yak & Yeti (lunch), Boma (dinner)
Day 2 - none
Day 3 - Raglan Road (lunch), 'Ohana (dinner)
Day 4 - Girl's Drinking Day Around the World at F&W (can't wait!), Boys to Kennedy Space Center
Day 5 - Date Nite for our friends while we watch their DS6
Day 6 - Portobello (our date nite while they watch Cub)

[tappenfeat]

Can anyone give a review on Raglan Road? We wanted to check that place out too.

[Drince88]

Thumbs up on Raglan Road.
I don't think I've read a negative review about it.
In fact, since we're staying at POFQ next trip, we might have to schedule a meal there!

[TinaMouse]

HUGE thumbs up for Raglan Road. It is absolutely wonderful. Sometimes you have to wait a while for a table even with an ADR. They seem to run about 30 minutes behind (all three times!). It's worth it.

[danyoung]

Karin, nice list - and you even wrote 'Ohana correctly!!! On your F&W day, make sure you try some of the plum wine from China. It's kinda cinnimon-y, really really tasty!

[danyoung]

So I booked my ADR's for October before I've even decided if I'm really going to go then or not - that's just how screwed up the dining booking has become! Here's what I got -

Day 1 - Sunday, 10/10
Dinner at the new pizza place in Italy (haven't booked this one yet)

Day 2 - Monday, 10/11
Lunch at the Flame Tree
Dinner at California Grill (my alltime favorite!)

Day 3 - Tuesday, 10/12
Lunch at Rose & Crown
Dinner at the Coral Reef

Day 4 - Wednesday, 10/13
Lunch at the DHS market - turkey leg, chili dog, just general junk!
Dinner at the Brown Derby

Day 5 - Thursday, 10/14
Lunch at Cosmic Ray's
Dinner at the San Angel Inn

Day 6 - Lunch at Columbia Harbour House, just before heading for the airport (sob!!)

Breakfasts are usually just quickies at my hotel food court, depending on where I'm staying. Or if it's a big eating day I'll just start out with a granola bar. Hate to get to the California Grill and not be totally HUNGRY!!

[Drince88]

Dan, you have no F&W fest meals?
Or do you just try a few things as snacks?

I'm just glad my sister is going to be with me this year (I usually go every year, she goes about every-other year) - because then I can still try everything, but it's half as expensive and takes half as long!

Other than some F&W fest kiosk meals, we'll probably do Raglan Road, Tea at the GF and maybe the upstairs at France place - and play the rest by ear. Maybe make a couple more ADRs after they announce the special events related to F&W fest (like Sweet Sundays, special dinners, and food & wine pairings).

[danyoung]

Dan, you have no F&W fest meals?

I can't believe I missed that! I knew I was going during F&W, but it just never occurred to me! So, let's forget the pizza place on the first night. And I could probably live without the San Angel Inn on the last night. There - problem solved!

One of my favorite things in the world (and the World) to do is to eat and drink around the World Showcase during the F&W Festival, munching (mostly) delicious morsels of food while consuming a wide variety of (mostly) excellent wine. Thanks for making sure I didn't miss it!

[Drince88]

Dan, I have no doubt that you would have figured it out, if not before arrival, then as soon as you were walking to the pizza place!

[texasgal]

My travel agent booked these about 4 months ago, but I have been tweaking them recently. I don't think I posted on here already - I looked back and didn't see any posts from me on this thread.

Day 1 arrive around lunchtime
dinner - Whispering Canyon - I'm trying to move some ADRs around, and this one may go if I am successful with that.

Day 2 - lunch - Biergarten
dinner - 'Ohana
desert - Wishes dessert party
(this day is probably too much food for DH. I'm going to keep trying to reorganize 'Ohana - I added it late, I'm on my third ADR, I change every time I find something better! hopefully I'll get it perfect before we go!)

Day 3
dinner - Akershus (request of my youngest for a princess dinner)

Day 4 - nothing
Well we do have Yachtsman for two while the kids are in kids club, but DH doesn't want to dress up, even though I showed him it isn't that much. I'm holding on to this one until we pack a few days before. If he doesn't pack nice shorts and shirt I'll cancel.

Day 5 - dinner - Le Cellier

Day 6 - dinner Boma

Day 7 - dinner - Rose and Crown at 7:05 - We're hoping for Illuminations view, plus this one is DH's request. This is one of the few table service places we've been to in the past, and he likes a good fish and chips to remind him of home. (He's from England originally) I'm trying to move this earlier in the week

Day 8 - nothing
We actually have Chef Mickey booked for breakfast, but this is another one DH is protesting

Day 9 - dessert - Sci Fi dinner

Day 10 - breakfast - Crystal Palace - request of my middle child, it is his birthday on day 10

Oldest DS didn't have any specific dining requests, he just wants to eat at as many countries in Epcot as possible. I figured 4 is good, plus Boma and 'Ohana are different cultures so that is making him happy as well.

Thanks to everyone for helping me figure out some great places to go. And I love my travel agent for making all the initial ADRs!

[littlej]

Newly refurbished ADRs for my May trip:
Friday, Cape May Cafe dinner (an old favorite)
Saturday, Citricos dinner (new for us)
Sunday, Crystal Palace (an hour before park opening!) for breakfast (love it), Jiko for dinner (new for us)
Monday, no ADRs, probably Earl of Sandwich for breakfast (another old favorite), going home that afternoon.

[KJSJpipe]

Can anyone give a review on Raglan Road? We wanted to check that place out too.

We love it and usually try to get there every time we go. If it's an adults only trip we go later at night and have drinks and appetizers while we listen to the live band and watch the Irish Dancer who comes out every now and again to dance on a small stage in the middle of the dining room.

Day 4 - Wednesday, 10/13
Lunch at the DHS market - turkey leg, chili dog, just general junk!
Dinner at the Brown Derby

Bummer we will miss you by one day we are eating there thursday.

[Karin]

Day 1 - Sunday, 10/10
Dinner at the new pizza place in Italy (haven't booked this one yet)

Oh yeah! That was in my head to go there, too, but I temporarily forgot about it since it's not open to booking yet. Thanks for the reminder, dan!

Other than some F&W fest kiosk meals

We'll do this, too, as well as Harbor House dan mentioned, but since I don't need ADRs for those, I didn't mention them.

[danyoung]

Karin, when you get your food at Harbour House, make sure to take it upstairs and eat in the room that overlooks a back walkway into Fantasyland. Very cool place to dine!

[Drince88]

I thought the new pizza place was counter service?

[danyoung]

Nope. According to a site called disneyfoodblog -

Via Napoli, operated by the Patina Restaurant Group, is coming to Italy in Epcot World Showcase in time for fall 2010. ... the 300-seat restaurant will feature a menu inspired by the famous pizzerias of southern Italy.

Sounds pretty terrific to me!

[Drince88]

But that could still be describing counter service with seating...

[Karin]

Karin, when you get your food at Harbour House, make sure to take it upstairs and eat in the room that overlooks a back walkway into Fantasyland. Very cool place to dine!

That's exactly where we always go, dan! Except this last trip, I have to admit. It was VERY crowded and nowhere to sit in that room... made us very sad. we were with friends so were a party of 6 instead of 3, harder to find seating for.

[TinaMouse]

I had it my head that it was a CS too. I don't know how I got that in my brain, though.

[Drince88]

I just looked at 3 of Mark's updates that mentioned it, and none said specifically either way (counter or table service).

[danyoung]

I'm gonna go out on a limb, read between the lines, and say that i THINK it's a sitdown. It's run by the Patina Group, same people that currently run Tutto Italia. Plus, you don't usually hear of a counter service place advertising how many seats they have in their dining room. Everything about this seems to indicate that it's upscale, which would indicate table service. We'll see, but my money's on a sitdown, full service restaurant.

[DoodleMushyBoo]

We are going in Oct/Nov of this year

Our ADR's are. . .
Liberty Tree
Tutto Italia
Chef's de France
Rose and Crown
Rainforest Cafe
The dinner show at the Polynesian
Crystal Palace bfast w/ Pooh
Sci Fi place at DHS

More to come i'm sure!
