    Must do must eat!

    Because I usually drive and arrive midday, I usually eat lunch at either Wolfgang Puck Express or Earl of Sandwich at Downtown Disney. While at DD, I always pick up a Ghiradelli's chocolate disk in the shop next to the ice cream parlour. For quick service, I eat breakfast at Starring Rolls at...

    From Average to Superb to Average.

    I tried Narcoossee's about a year ago. While it wasn't my favorite experience of the trip (Artist Point and Brown Derby were), it was good. I wasn't that pleased with the service, so I grant you that point. The food was good (one side dish was outstanding). Even if food and service are subpar...

    Food Court in EPCOT

    Many years ago, the foodcourt at The Land offered what they called "Handwiches." I especially liked a beef and cheese Handwich. As is typical with Disney, once they got me hooked on a specific product, they did away with it. I could probably build the best vacation spot in the world with the...

    Breakfast suggestion

    Another I would recommend is Grand Floridian Cafe. Check out their menu, then decide if it's something you'd like. Personally, I love it.

    Caribe Royale Hotel

    The Caribe Royale web site also offers a special each Wednesday: "Sale hours are every Wednesday from 8am-10pm EST."

    Hilton Orlando Bonnet Creek Resort

    Although I'm not certain, I don't believe the resort is within easy walking distance of Downtown Disney. It's not far, but the walk would not be convenient. The resort offers free transportation, but I don't know the schedule. You may want to call to find out how often the buses run. Were...

    Spirited Thoughts, News, Observations etc.

    I just got back from a quick spur-of-the-moment trip and had a wonderful time. POR seemed immaculate; my room was refurbished (one building was closed for refurbishment). The parks were in generally good repair, but MK was probably in the worst shape. Several buildings have coverings (I joked...

    Unplanned Quick Spring Break Trip

    My son in college arrived for Spring Break expecting a week to rest and relax, but I surprised him with a quick trip to WDW. I hadn't expected to be able to take the trip, but I coordinated it with my office and, so, my son and I drove to WDW Saturday after making reservations at POR. We didn't...

    Favorite Bar in Disney World?

    I just got back from WDW (quick spur-of-the-moment trip) and enjoyed Le Cava de Tequila. They have a special $5 tequila shot special if you follow them on Twitter. My favorite drink there is the passionfruit Margarita (I tried the blood orange, too, which was good). The bar at the Poly is...

    Cookes of Dublin

    I love the fish and chips, but avoid the fried burger.

    Restaurant Suggestions Needed

    Consider Yak & Yeti at AK. Also, a nice little get-away is to pick up a sandwich or cheese plate at Boulangerie Pâtisserie in the France pavilion (couple it with a Grand Marnier slushie).

    Disney's Hollywood Studios Major Park Refurb Idea

    Logistically, I have no idea how much of this would be doable. Some, I would suspect, but not all. Strangely, one of the smaller ideas above I really love: the Swedish Chef restaurant. The technology could be similar to the Turtle Talk technology, enabling interaction between the Swedish Chef...

    If these are still offered, consider the following at MK: Tomorrowland Terrace Fireworks Dessert Party during Wishes Nighttime Spectacular Backstage Magic Tour Keys to the Kingdom Tour Pirates and Pals Fireworks Voyage (starts at the Contemporary Resort) And the following at Epcot...

    Cat Cora's Restaurant Kouzzina

    I would definitely recommend trying it. I've eaten there once, alone, and enjoyed the lamb burger. When at WDW with my wife, we chose not to eat there, in part because the menu seemed heavy on lamb and cinnamon, neither of which is her favorite (naturally, you can find plenty of non-lamb...

    Narcoossee's at Grand Floridian, Any Good?

    My wife and I ate there last spring for the first time. The food was good, with the potatoes au gratin the best I've ever had. Overall, though, this was not our best experience on this trip (Artist Point and Brown Derby stood out): the food was good, the service was okay (not my favorite...

    Coronado Springs

    For many years, my favorite Moderate resort has been POFQ (I love the grounds and the boat ride to Downtown Disney). A couple of years ago, my wife and I had a split stay, first at POFQ, then at CS. She had never stayed at either, so both were new to her. She preferred CS to POFQ "by a country...

    Best Burger at WDW.

    My wife had the fried burger with tomato chutney at Cooke's. The chutney was delicious, but the burger itself wasn't good: the "fried patty" was dry.

    Hello from the Florida Panhandle

    We are a couple on the Emerald Coast, another resort area of Florida. I, the DH, have been to WDW 30+ times, and am more the Disney fanatic. My DW has only been three times (she is from Thailand, so hasn't had quite the opportunities I've had to go). My sons, both adults, are Disney fanatics...
