    Thanks...no restaurant should have an off night at that price point.

    Which of the following highly rated WDW restaurants has the best Food Quality?

    I've eaten at Nomad Lounge several times and Tiffins 1X. Completely agree that the entrees seemed a bit bland. IMO the apps are the best offerings on the menu and if that is all I am doing, I'd rather enjoy them in the lounge.

    Which of the following highly rated WDW restaurants has the best Food Quality?

    Jiko is my go to for almost every trip. The food is pretty good. It has become a bit homogenized, but still has some inventive offerings and flavors. The environment at AKL/Jiko is second to none. For wine drinkers, I cannot overstate the fun of getting there early and sitting down with the...

    Which of the following highly rated WDW restaurants has the best Food Quality?

    I've seen enough of your posts to think we have some parallel restaurant tastes. I am very curious if you could break this one down for me? I have eaten at Capa and agree that it is outstanding....excellent food quality, excellent service, excellent environment, and I like that is it...

    Which of the following highly rated WDW restaurants has the best Food Quality?

    I had this same thought when I was originally reading this thread...I'm sure it is great, but I have rarely heard anyone rave about anything but the bread service when talking about this Sanaa. I love virtually all forms of the carb, but I don't know that I would ever pick a restaurant based...

    Tangierine Cafe closes at EPCOT

    Sad, but kind of inevitable. Apparently the crowds are too limited for EPCOT to support the diversity of offerings. We always get park hoppers and use them on about 1/2 the days we are at WDW to go to EPCOT for food and drink. The lack of park hoppers has to be hurting the World Showcase. I...

    Liquor

    I've had pretty good luck packing a bottle in between lots of clothing in checked luggage. I also have a neoprene wine carrier that adds additional padding to bottles. Alternatively, I've gotten a couple of the screw-top metal water bottles and used them for my traveling bar. All of this...

    Which of the following highly rated WDW restaurants has the best Food Quality?

    I kind of feel like you have to take V&A off this list to have a meaningful conversation. I haven't had the opportunity to eat there yet, but I am confident it is in a class by itself.

    Favorite place to grab a cold one?

    I love the environment of Dawa Bar and La Cava...the theming and settings are immersive/excellent and truly make you feel like you are in a different and special place. Unfortunately they have gone from bars where you have a relatively limited number of tables/bar seats being served by a couple...

    Favorite place to grab a cold one?

    I thought that was the case, but I kind of like doing a couple of small plates/sushi rolls/salads and maybe leaving room for a dessert, so I couldn't remember for sure. Although Disney is very accomodating to whatever you want to do for dining, I always feel a little better eating lite and...

    Favorite place to grab a cold one?

    For some reason, this doesn't seem to be all that well known, but there is walk up seating available in the lounge area at California Grill. I've had pretty good luck with a table for 2 shortly after opening (I'm sure it is much harder to get later in the evening or near fireworks time). I...

    Are smart phones essential at the parks?

    Depending on the time of year, a good weather app can be a real benefit...it is nice to check the weather radar now and then to anticipate storms or get an idea of how long they will last. In the past, we have flexed our restaurant time or indoor attraction visits to a period of time when we...

    Favorite place to grab a cold one?

    This is a subject near and dear to my heart. If I still feel like moving, it is always a beer in the world showcase while enjoy the AC in the various shops. I used to love the cool serenity of the La Cava in Mexico, but it been discovered by the masses and will probably never be the same. In...

    Poly DVC Studios vs Resort Rooms

    Thanks. I am deferring the trip for now...was going to go late fall, but it appears there are zero military discounts available on rooms. Don't think I want to pay full price for the current experience there. Based on the pics, it also looks like the studios sacrifice nearly all storage space...

    Poly DVC Studios vs Resort Rooms

    I am looking at trip to the Poly, and I have not stayed there since the renovation and debut of the DVC buildings. The price is close enough between a DVC studio and a resort room that it doesn't matter to me. We will be a party of 4 with 2 kids and 2 adults. Our last stay at Yacht club, one...

    Shanghai Disneyland September 2019 Trip Report & Photos

    Curious about the face characters. Were the princesses/etc traditional characters played by Chinese people with obviously Asian features or do they try to give them a more Western look with makeup/masks etc. Just wondering how Disney handles the integration of a Western story/character with an...

    Actual Size of Shanghai's Theme Park?

    Just watched a video walkthrough of this park. I guess it may not be quite as immersive due to the wide walkways and openness, but the theming looks extremely well done, everything still appears new and shiny, and it feels much less claustrophopic than MK. On a crowded day, I can't wait to...

    Best Epcot area deluxe?

    YC has better room design than Beach Club and is essentially the same hotel. It appears most folks like the decor of the Beach Club better, but the YC has more balconies, and probably the best room design on property if that matters to you.

    Worth the hype?/Unpopular Opinion

    IMO the lounge at Tiffans is better than the restaurant...if there is anything you want from the main menu, you can also order it in the lounge.

    Worth the hype?/Unpopular Opinion

    Plus it took about 90 minutes. I couldn't stop thinking about the mini muffins in my room I could have had instead, while on the way to attactions with short lines for about ~$150 less.
