Dress Code Guidelines:
Men: Khakis, slacks, jeans, dress shorts, collared shirts. Sport coats are optional.
Ladies: Capris, skirts, dresses, jeans, dress shorts.

Not permitted in dining room: Tank tops, swimwear, hats for gentleman, cut offs, or torn clothing. While T-shirts are now allowed, the policy remains that T-shirts with offensive language or graphics are not acceptable.

3:

Because the Winter Summerland Miniature Golf is directly adjacent to the Blizzard Beach, Disney transportation uses the Blizzard Beach as the transport area for the Winter Summerland Miniature Golf.

Because the Fantasia Miniature Golf is directly adjacent to the Swan and Dolphin Resort, Disney transportation uses the Swan and Dolphin Resort as the transport area for the Fantasia Miniature Golf.

5: I like the food at Pop Century and find it good - the menu has a lot of variety.

1. What are the dress code requirements for California Grill? As above however, I've been (by mistake) in shorts and tshirt and it wasn't a problem at all.

2. Which of the 2 mini-golf courses is best? I prefer Winter Summer Land but if possible you should try both!

3. Is there a way to get to the mini-golf courses using Disney Transportation? Winter Summer Land is just off the entrance to Blizzard Beach so that's easy enough. Fantasia can be reach by either going to the Swan & Dolphin, Epcot (international gateway) or DHS. There is a bit of a walk either way but S&D is your best bet.

4. Is there a restaurant other than Rose & Crown that has a good view of Illuminations?
Not really (I think...). If your worried, just finish dinner by 8 and you will still have time to go and pick out a great spot for a 9pm showing. Just use that hour to sit down in your chosen spot and let dinner go down. I personally like it near Canada or at the end of Future World but there are lot's of other great spots.

5. Food at Pop Centry. Is it good?
I've never eaten there but my sister say's it's not great. It's not terrible, just not great. If I was staying there I would eat the food as a snack or an occasional meal.

6. Is Characters in Flight worth the price?
Sorry, no idea.

2. Which of the 2 mini-golf courses is best?
I have Visited both I LOVE fantasia Gardens.


3. Is there a way to get to the mini-golf courses using Disney Transportation?
I don't believe so. Fantasia Gardens is between Epcot and DHS and is about half a mile away from the Swan and Dolphin. If you go to AllEars, it also tells you how to walk there from the Boardwalk.

Getting to Winter Summerland is really easy all you have to do it hop on the bus to BB.

4. Is there a restaurant other than Rose & Crown that has a good view of Illuminations?
Not that i know of. and if you make ADR's at rose and Crown you aren't guaranteed a seat outside.

5. Food at Pop Centry. Is it good?
Not bad at all. It has a good variety of things to choose from...Make sure to try the Tye-Die cheese cake.:slurp:

6. Is Characters in Flight worth the price?
I haven't been on it but i have seen videos of the flight and I think it's worth it. I mean its not Extremely expensive and you get to see WDW from a hot air balloon how cool is that?

 

[JustInTime]

I was wondering about number 6 too. I am thinking about going on it. I would like to hear a report form somebody who has ridden it.

 

[DisneyJoe]

if you make ADR's at rose and Crown you aren't guaranteed a seat outside.

True, but they will escort you outside just before the show so you can view it with a pretty good view.

Characters in Flight is worth doing once.

True, but they will escort you outside just before the show so you can view it with a pretty good view.

Also, if you eat earlier in the evening and are really nice to your waiter/waitress, they will tell you to come back to the podium and give their name so you can get into the viewing area (though it is standing only).
