    Favorite resort lobby...

    My favorite is still Animal Kingdom Lodge - being able to sit at the fireplace, look out the massive windows at the beautiful view, sit in the club-room alcove, soak in the ambiance / excellent background music - I just love it there. I also love Grand Floridian, but that's 90% because of the...

    Do you know someone who didn't enjoy their disney trip??

    I figured that like most are saying here, anyone who did not enjoy it just did not do it 'right' - they had a bad plan or no plan, went at the wrong time of year, etc., but I proved myself wrong. I took a girl I was dating for what I thought would be a fantastic trip - during the Food & Wine...

    Cheap Eats!

    AK - Flame Tree BBQ (accepts TiW) MK - Pecos Bill & Cosmic Rays - fixins' bars turn every order in to a feast ;) EP - Sunshine Seasons & Electric Umbrella HS - I save money by not eating, except for a cupcake at Starring Rolls

    How many $100 meals do you have per week at disney?

    I recently realized that all of my dinners on all of my visits for many years now are at 'signature' dining restaurants. (Jiko, Cali. Grill, Citricos, Le Cellier, and the former Bistro de Paris are my most frequented) However, I rarely break $100 for 2 reasons: 1) I'm often travelling &...

    Restaurant Of The Year Award!

    I'm going to go with California Grill, since it combines excellent food (with a good variety, and great seasonal / local menu), a great wine list, the beautiful view, very good service, and the best sushi on property. This is also a sentimental vote to honor Yoshi's retirement as the head sushi...

    Ever Find Yourself.....?

    I do my best to stay out of the photos and videos of other guests, so I'd be surpised if there was anything more of a passing glimpse of me in someone else's - even my own photos are almost exclusively places / things, and not people ...

    Fireworks and California Grill question

    Also, they will hold your order / food if you want to step outside to watch Wishes on either of the decks - they are very accustomed to that, and have always been very gracious about it for me ...

    Experanice or quality when dining

    As a fine-food lover who also loves to cook, I'm primarily interested in the quality of the food, however the overall dining experience is still important to me - I'm just looking for a different experience than a family with young kids. I want the beautiful view, nice setting and great food...

    Is it just me, or did free dining kill the finer restaurants?

    I agree that Disney's 'fine dining' has suffered since the offering of the DDP, but not to a terrible extent. I am a long-time Tables in Wonderland member (from back well before it was re-named as such), and have been eating at most of the Signature Dining restaurants for many years. I have...

    Quick service poll

    Yet another vote for Flame Tree BBQ - the food is very good, but it is the setting that distinguishes it from 'the rest' for me. I love the lake-side tables with the view of Everest ...:)

    Animal Kingdom Lodge Restaurants

    Jiko is excellent, has a great atmosphere, and incredible wine selection, and is a beautiful restaurant. It can also be fun to sit at the Cooking Place and watch them work, fire things in the wood-burning ovens, and chat with the interesting array of folks who sit there. (a couple of...

    Quiet, calm restaurants at WDW?

    Jiko is excellent, and offers a pretty tranquil dining room. I think you would find the same at Saana. I don't know if it is just my good luck, or because of the 'unusual' menu, but I've not encountered many kids at Jiko, and I've dined there many, many times. Citricos has some tables away...

    Opinions please!

    Boma has an excellent breakfast, and it's always great to be over at AKL ...

    Where to dine at GF

    Citricos is excellent - Chef Ponticelli is great about selecting really, really great ingredients and turning out fantastic food. Take a look at the menu, and unless it's really not your style, go! (http://allears.net/menu/men_cit.htm) I would have linked to the menu here on WDW Magic, but...

    Had To Cancel Trip

    Very sorry to hear about the cancellation, but congratulations on the new job! Yes, I've had to cancel on very short notice, and was not happy about it!! We had a case that, at the 'last minute', got set for an arbitration for just days after I was scheduled to return from the World. Since...

    Restaurant To Propose!

    Coral Reef provides an interesting option - my original idea was to have one of the dolphins carry a sign down to the window - but the trainers were not all that confident it would work as planned, so they sent a diver down with the sign - and he brought it right up to hold against the tank wall...

    V&A's

    It is a great dining experience, and in the context of truly fine dining, it's actually not that terribly expensive. Also, with the exception of the Chef's Table, they do take Tables in Wonderland, so you can almost pay for your annual membership with a single meal @ V&A. I can't answer for...
