    Le Cellier vs Yachtsman's

    We have taken our daughter there on 3 occasions now and this will be her 4th. Each time she has ranged in age from 11 months to 4. She loves the restaurant and is actually treated better there than some of the restaurants that cater to kids. However, we are lucky my daughter is extremely well...

    Le Cellier vs Yachtsman's

    I agree the food is much better at Yachtsman as is the atmosphere. Yachtsman is a much slower paced meal, if you are doing three course plan on being there 2 hours. Le Cellier often feels rushed. Yachtsman's atmosphere is also more subdued. Le Cellier often seems much more crowded and...

    Le Cellier: truffle butter or bust?

    What about Citricos which seems to have a variety, you can get a filet if you are beef lover, there is a chicken breast dish, a veal shank as well as several fish choices including striped bass and tuna. It should satisfy the picky eater and your sister who doesn't like steak. We haven't eaten...

    Others using your magic band-I am not in Park

    You are right the band requires you to be in the park. This is no different than the old system. Even the key to the world card required entry into the park before it would allow a fastpass to be retrieved from the machines. This stopped people from sending one person to the park at opening...

    I get it and there is nothing wrong with doing it that way.

    Disney Vacation Account

    That then is an advantage of the Disney savings account. Of course though its not the equivalent of interest considering the money has to be spent with Disney and no harm no foul for Disney because they are banking on the $20 gift cards being used towards additional purchases exceeding $20.00.

    Disney Vacation Account

    This is sort of like the age old tax question, is it better to overpay your taxes and get a refund every April or is it better to underpay your taxes and the government money in April. Neither way is wrong but I believe most financial experts would argue its your money and you would be better...

    Disney Vacation Account

    Yes but if you are going to attach your debit card then there is no real advantage. Why not just save it in a bank account. I am not advocating a monthly payment by credit card just stating it seems to be the only reason to do it, aside from the potential $20 gift card. Otherwise why not keep...

    Disney Vacation Account

    I agree. But if you are using a card that must be paid completely down monthly and you are doing it for credit card points that could help.

    Disney Vacation Account

    Though it would be more of a hassle couldn't you just give the gift cards over the phone to pay for MNSHP? Nonetheless if they are giving $20 gift cards that is better than any interest from a bank account.

    Disney Vacation Account

    We have been going every August as of late and always try to get a bounce back deal when we go. We usually start putting away money in September for the next trip. Typically we have the money saved by March/April. Our 45 day out payment is usually around July. We tend to hold the money to the...

    Le Cellier: truffle butter or bust?

    Maybe you can do it by just eating the best thing on the menu at each place, such as Tonga Toast at Kona, Ooey Gooey Toffee Cake at LTT and Truffle Mac and Cheese at Yachtsman. I know it may be taboo to say the best thing on Yachtsman's menu is not steak but a side dish but that could make the...

    Le Cellier: truffle butter or bust?

    I think the decision to make it a signature restaurant was based on its popularity more than its food and service. Disney simply looked at the multiple reviews of it being one of the best non-signature restaurants and one table credit they thought it would be just as good as a signature. That...

    Magical Express, Taxi, rent a Car? HELP

    Not sure how you can tell them the flight is later than it is as every time we have used Magical Express Disney has asked for the flight numbers. We have used a tax on one other occasion. Believe it or not it didn't give us all that more additional park time over ME no more than 1/2 to an...

    Le Cellier: truffle butter or bust?

    We have been to Le Cellier three times now and I have to be honest I don't see the appeal. Yachtsman, which is staple of our trips, is hands down the better restaurant particularly since Le Cellier was given Signature status. In fact the last trip and our present trip we are skipping Le Cellier...

    Favorite "non park" activities..

    We love walking the Boardwalk at night. One thing I haven't seen mentioned though is a horse drawn carriage ride. We took a carriage ride around POR around dusk and it was incredible, we then had drinks and dinner. It was a nice break from the parks.

    Frozen fireworks

    Yep that's the night of Villain's Unleashed. There are no Frozen fireworks that night. We are going to be there for Villain's so I asked if I could purchase the Frozen package the same night and was informed Frozen fireworks will not happen that night so we had to purchase the Frozen Package for...

    Planning babys 1st visit - Please help pick where to stay and why.

    We used to stay at French Quarter. Then four years ago when we had our first child we brought her at eleven months. We had the same inclination as you to stay at a monorail resort. We choose Contemporary. The rooms were just ok and the housekeeping did leave a little to be desired...

    Beaches and Cream - Kitchen Sink

    I think the problem is the restaurant is quite small. In years past it was not available for ADRs and was simply walk up only. You often would wait about 30 minutes at lunch hour to be seated, though it could get fairly busy. We were able to make an ADR for lunch on the day we arrive in...
