I just realized that there was a "business casual" dress code at restaurants like California Grill, Yachtsman Steakhouse, Flying Fish, etc. I'm kinda amazed why they would do this as it's fine for people that actually are staying in those resorts, but for those that don't and want to experience the dining at these locations would really need to hike it back to their own resort and change clothes to hike it back to the restaurant of choice.
This seriously hurts the time value of spending at the parks.
I had planned a nice 8 day trip and having the deluxe dining plan, we want to eat at the best restaurants but we would have to leave parks early to take buses back to our resort to change and then buses back to the restaurant resort.
Example:
Day 6:
- Morning thru Late Afternoon at Animal Kingdom
- Then bus over to Magic Kingdom for some additional FP+ attractions
- Dinner reservation at California Grill at 8:30pm. We figure we could just walk over or take the Monorail.
But now we would need to take the bus back to Pop Century, change clothes, and then bus it back to MK again.
Just seems like a huge waste of time. What have you guys done? Just leave the parks early?
