    March Visit

    We are going at the same time and are hoping the crowds won't be bad given Easter isn't until March 27 and Passover isn't until April 22, meaning spring break is still a few weeks away. Like others said I would expect Epcot to be a little crazy on the weekend since its the first week of the...

    New Year's Eve...Eve

    When I went 2011-12 MK's NYE fireworks were exactly the same on 12/30 and 12/31, Epcot's was just on 12/31. We watched the MK fireworks on 12/30 from the Poly Beach and went into Epcot at like 11pm on 12/31 to watch those.

    Do you put any faith in crowd calendars?

    I skipped a couple of pages of this thread so someone might have mentioned this already, but its a Jewish Holiday (yesterday and today) which I'm sure I had a lot to do with public schools being off, so I would guess the crowds will decrease tomorrow.There is another holiday next week as well...

    Via Napoli ADR

    ArtieJim and I were finally able to make a reservation at Via Napoli for March 7 last night! So if anyone is looking to book as well, I would start checking again.

    Le Cellier vs Yachtsman's

    I have been to the top steakhouses in New York, California, Texas and everywhere in between and have never had this happen. I have cut into my steak and been promptly approached by the head waiter who then asked me if everything was cooked to my liking but I have never had anyone stick a pen...

    Le Cellier vs Yachtsman's

    I was really put off by Shula's -- after my steak arrived, the waiter took out a pen light (it was so dark in the restaurant I couldn't see 3 inches in front of me) and instructed me to cut into my steak. I asked why, as I have never been asked to do this before at a steak house, and he got...

    Le Cellier vs Yachtsman's

    So true!! I would rather a properly cooked flank steak most days over a filet.

    Le Cellier vs Yachtsman's

    Don't get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with a filet however its very lean and not much natural flavor. Most of the time a cut of meat with more fat and marbling will be more flavorful along with the bone-in. There is a reason some of the most famous steakhouse (Peter Luger's for example)...

    Dining on final night of honeymoon??

    If you are thinking about somewhere near the Beach and Yacht Club, I would suggest Yachtsman. You can have drinks before in the lounge followed by a great dinner. Also, in another post you mentioned finding extra special things to do -- I would do a horse and carriage ride around Port Orleans...

    Le Cellier vs Yachtsman's

    Yachtsman all the way -- a true steakhouse's "famous dish" should never be a filet.

    Christmas tips

    We went 12/25-1/3 a few years ago and had an amazing time. Christmas day we of course went to MK however we took a pool break back at the resort and then went back for dinner at Tonys and then the Wishes dessert party and had no trouble getting back in. The park was also open till 3am so we were...

    Trip Report *Completed* The Running Princesses PHM 2015

    Your family seems to like Disney glow drinks just as much as I do...I'm not sure if you know, but you can order those drinks but ask for them without glow cubes and they are like $3-4 cheaper. So now I order my first drink of the trip with the cube, save it, and it to all my other drinks the...

    How do you plan Food and Wine?

    After going to the festival a few times now our plan is to have no plan, except for the special ticket items like the 3D dessert party, which is not to be missed. We like to just walk slowly in circles. See something you like, then stop. Line too long, make a mental note to stop there on the...

    Food & Wine Festival - Drunkytown?

    We are currently in Disney and have been here since Wednesday (October 9), I am in awe of this thread. We have been to the festival almost every night and have not seen any of the behavior discussed in some of these responses. Yes people have been having fun and being a little loud, but I can...

    An October PTR - It's Good to be Back

    The first year we went during F&W we had at least one dining reservation per day if not two, we ended up canceling most of them because we either weren't hungry or didn't want to leave. I'm sure you will be fine with whatever reservations you have. Have a great time and have a drink for us!!

    An October PTR - It's Good to be Back

    Its finally October which means only 8 more days till we are in DISNEY!! This trip cannot come at a more perfect time because my stress levels are at an all time high. Working for the government on this particular day, not the best thing in the world considering the budget crisis. So in order...
