    Meals That You Miss at WDW

    Yes, this was a good burger! I miss lunch overall at R&C. I was surprised to learn recently that they're now only open for dinner.

    Meals That You Miss at WDW

    So many. The croque monsieur sandwich with salad at Chefs de France for lunch. The burger for lunch at Brown Derby. I miss "lighter" lunch menus overall. The burger at Crew's Cup lounge. Flying Fish used to have this appetizer with ahi tuna and compressed watermelon (sounds weird but very...

    News 2024 EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival

    I'm looking forward to seeing what they do with the space. I'm curious if the half for seating looks like it does now -- tables and chairs for guests to eat, take a break etc. - or if it looks like seating for demonstrations? They have not, as yet, advertised any demos or opened up any...

    EPCOT Mission:Space - Status and Future

    For Your Amusement has quickly become one of my favorite shows/podcasts. Fantastic content from true theme park fans. They are deep in the details, and I love it. As for Mission Space, it was a one and done for me as someone who does not enjoy small, enclosed spaces. Can't wait to see if it...

    News from the New York Times today: "Is a Disney Theme Park Vacation Still Worth the Price?"

    Thanks, Len. Great article. To see prices have gone up 25% is one thing but to see 70% of that is due to now charging for things that used to be free is another. Wow. And this is so true: “I’ve had a number of people in the last few years say, ‘We priced it out and we could take our children...

    News Joe Rohde Reveals He Thought Avatar Might End His Career: Insights from the Legendary Disney Imagineer

    I was able to attend a special talk Joe gave at Tiffins back in 2018 in association with the park's 20th anniversary and even luckier to sit at his table. He was nicer and even more interesting than you could hope he'd be. He was so generous with his time and made sure every single person...

    News 2024 EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival

    I'm probably delusional and naive but I'm still hoping they'll bring back the special events -- culinary demos, wine tastings, luncheons at various restaurants around the lagoon, celebrity chef events, Party for the Senses etc. Sigh. The festival used to be so fun. Now that the food booths are...

    Flavors of Florida Returns to Disney Springs in Summer 2024

    I haven't seen the ticket prices but the various pairing dinners at certain restaurants are nice. Reminds me of the old Food & Wine festival events in EPCOT (tequila lunch, Parisian breakfast etc.).

    Walt Disney World Holiday Season 2024

    I agree, would love to see Jollywood extend into other areas. Would also like to see it start earlier. You're never going to be able to 'do it all' but there wasn't enough time to do even a quarter of things between the food options, music, shows, character meet and greets - not to mention the...

    MK New Beak and Barrel - Pirates of the Caribbean-themed lounge

    Is it confirmed that this lounge will serve alcoholic beverages? Really hope it's not mirroring the "standing room only" aspect of Oga's.

    Italian Restaurant Suggestion?

    If wanting to try something different and use the dining plan, I think Tutto Italia is a good choice. I really enjoyed the lasagna on a recent visit. Trattoria al Forno (on the Boardwalk) is also good - the chicken parm and wood-fired pizza are some favorites. I've not been in a long time but...

    Choice of restaurants

    The Fantasmic package includes an entree and either appetizer OR dessert ... not all three courses. But, yes, if you wanted to purchase an alcoholic beverage or additional food, you can do that and be billed separately. Generally, for packages you're able to select anything on the menu but...

    Choice of restaurants

    Brown Derby is very convenient and centrally located. We enjoy it very much and is probably our favorite in the park. 50's Prime Time and Sci Fi Dine-In are also very popular for their respective theming. Boathouse is an excellent choice at Disney Springs.

    Choice of restaurants

    Food for the lounge and restaurant come from the same kitchen. There is no difference in food. The difference is the menu. In terms of view, the room is tiered. I think you can have a good view from anywhere. As another poster stated, you have more perspective of the full scope the further...

    I think that's a good swap! Although the tables are set closer together than I'd like, the atmosphere of San Angel Inn is absolutely beautiful and a quintessential Disney experience. The food is very good - we love the guacamole and enchiladas. We do also enjoy Via Napoli and getting a whole...

    Choice of restaurants

    In the lounge you're able to order a la carte from a different menu OR order the full prix fixe from the restaurant menu. I think you might be able to order appetizers and desserts from the prix fixe menu individually as well in the lounge. You can make reservations for the lounge...

    Choice of restaurants

    I think these are good choices and, yes, cash/credit/debit would be acceptable payment at any of them. The 2-hour cancellation policy applies to all ... my one caution is I had a situation where the app was down/not working when trying to cancel so I called (imagine I could have taken a screen...

    Ale and Compass

    I very much enjoy the breakfast with the buffet add-on (not a traditional buffet but a 'buffet of sides'). The omelet is my go-to ... standard but good. On the buffet are fruits, granola, yogurt, some pastries. Basically if you were planning to order an entree plus both juice and coffee and...
