    Rose and Crown ADR around Illuminations

    I don't mean to high-jack OP, but how is the view of IllumiNations from the viewing area? We haven't been to R&C yet but are considering it for our next trip. Is the view as good as, say, the areas right next to the private party area (or the steps leading to the private party area if there is...

    Restaurant To Propose!

    But I said "No offense". Doesn't that get me off the hook? :D

    Restaurant To Propose!

    While I get where you are trying to go with this, Hatter, in all honesty a restaurant proposal is far too cliche for my taste. The only thing worse is a proposal in front of Cinderella's Castle. No offense to the ladies out there who have or want this kind of proposal, but as a guy I think the...

    Your Final Trip!

    My fiancee and I don't have any kids and, to be perfectly honest, can't see being able to handle going WITH kids. Of course I say that in jest (sort of) since once we have kids we'll deffinately be taking them. But right now, in my opinion, as great a feeling taking children must be, right now...

    My ADR's

    Most of your breakfasts should get you out early enough to still enjoy the lower morning crowds, IMO. Breakfasts tend to run a lot quicker and smoother than other meals of the day, especially at the character meals. Breakfast we are usually in and out in under an hour, with seeing all the...

    Happy Retirement Yoshie!

    I know I am in the minority here, but CG over the last few years went from being a memorable meal to a totally forgetable meal. Yes, it is better than most 1 TS restaurants and is better than a couple other Signatures, I just don't see why this bland food still gets all the love it does. The...

    The Big Three.

    I will see your "Big Three" and raise you The Mara (the CS restaurant). Between the African Stew and the Zebra Domes (while I don't think they deserve all the hype the get, they are pretty good and even better out of the fridge at The Mara), it's an often overlooked CS. Durring our stay there...

    The Dream is Mean

    The first port we shared with her, we were right next to her. We spent most of the time in port (which wasn't too long, but that is a different gripe towards a different company) pacing forward and aft looking over the ship before pulling up a chair and watching "Dumbo" on her huge screen (the...

    The Dream is Mean

    We were on a cruise in December where we were next to the Fantasy in 2 different ports. When we left the second port we shared with her, she gave us a "When You Wish Upon A Star" send off, which drove my fiancee into a tizzy. When we got home, she looked for a video so she could hear the horn...

    Tips for my ADR's....

    I'm not going to comment on your choices. What I may not like, you may love and what I may love you may not like. I always say to each their own and if you want to book something, go for it. With that being said, Disney should not allow first time visitors to get the DxDP. For a first (and...

    DVC Rental points

    There are DVC rooms at both AKL buildings, Kidani is all DVC and Jambo which is mixed. Both have pros and cons over the other (i.e. Kidani is usually picked up first except to DTD, Jambo has The Mara, a CS restaurant).

    In Room surprises

    I had something placed in our room before we arrived on our last trip (it was part of my proposal to my now fiancee). I was told while planning for this that the only way you can have something waiting in your room for when you arrive is if you are staying CL or staying DVC (we happened to be...

    DVC Rental points

    We are going down on similar dates to when you are looking to go. We booked through David's at the 11 month mark (back in November) and were not able to get a BWV Boardwalk view. We did get a different prefered BWV studio, but again that was almost 2 months ago. While you may have your hearts...

    Renting dvc points-vs-booking mmy at a moderate?

    For part 2 of our honeymoon for this coming October, we rented points through David's (this is our first time renting). While you have to pay the full amount at the time the reservation is made, David's only gives the DVC member half of the amount and doesn't give the other half until you are...

    Most Over Rated Restaurant At WDW.

    Le Cellier, 'Ohana and CG are all really overrated and don't deserve the hype they get.

    Gee I didn't Realize

    That's pretty close to what I thought. My fiancee was convinced there were actual bunnies in it. Both of us were pretty wrong. It was veggies with curry served in a bread bowl.

    "Are you a mexi-can or a mexi-can't"

    My fiancee and I are planning on having a meal at SAI durring our honeymoon in October. I ate there years ago and she loves the whole atmosphere of the Mexico pavillion. The only reason why we never made an ADR for there is that there was a time where it got some not so great reviews, but things...

    My Reservations

    Another thing I would consider is are you on a dining plan? If so, did you pay for the dining plan? If you paid for the DDP, breakfast is a real poor use of TS credits (value-wise). It might work out less expensive for you to pay OOP than to use most of your TS credits on breakfasts. However...

    Your Surprise Steak House!

    While I personally won't really bother with steak from any restaurant on property besides Shula's, my fiancee got the grilled tenderloin of beef with the peppercorn sauce from Les Chefs a couple of years ago and it was really good. Tender and tastey.
