Hey guys and gals!! So 180 days has come and gone for not one, but TWO trips coming up for me and my family! Our first trip is a 1 night WDW stay followed by 4 nights on the Dream then 3 nights back at WDW. Here's our dining itineraries:
Saturday Sept 7th
Check into the Poly - Dinner @ 4:30pm Garden Grill (First for us! We had breakfast here in 2000 when they still had a character breakfast)
Sunday Sept 8th
No ADR's planned but we are debating on making an ADR at 'Ohana before heading to the Dream
Monday Sept 9 - Weds Sept 11
No ADRs on the Dream but we will over-indulge on all the cruise food, I'm sure!!
Thursday Sept 12
Disembark the Dream - Check into Bay Lake Tower - Dinner 5:30pm @ Via Napoli (Not new for us. We LOVE the pizza here!)
Friday Sept 13
Breakfast 7:50am @ Kona Cafe
Dinner 5:00pm @ 'Ohana (yes, two ADRs at the Poly in one day!)
Saturday Sept 14
Dinner 5:30pm @ 50s Prime Time Cafe (We skipped this last month so we're excited to go back!)
Sunday Sept 15
Departure day - but not before lunch 11:55am @ Liberty Tree Tavern (This will be a first for my sister but Mom and I have eaten here on our last 2 trips plus back in 2001 when it was a character dinner)
Not too many new things for us this trip. Sometimes we do 2 sit-down ADRs a day but since this trip is expensive enough as it is with the cruise (including 2 excursions: dolphin swim and cabana at Castaway Cay) plus splurging to stay at the Poly for the one night before the cruise, we decided to limit our ADRs a bit.
... Now for the second trip, this right now is scheduled to be my cousin's first ever trip to WDW! She's 15 and has been talking about it non-stop since we decided last year to take her. It will be me, my sister and Emily (cousin) Here are our dining plans:
Friday November 8th
Arrival day - we arrive at 10pm so no ADR's
Saturday November 9th
Dinner at 4pm @ 50s Prime Time Cafe (we figured my cousin would get a kick out of the antics here plus there is something on the menu for everyone)
Sunday November 10th
Breakfast at 8:20am @ Akershus (This was Emily's character meal of the trip! We let her pick one and she picked this one. This is new for my sister and I as well.)
Dinner at 5:30pm @ Via Napoli (Emily loves pizza so this was no contest)
This day will also consist of snacking around the world for the F&W Festival!! YUM!!
Monday November 11th
Dinner at 5pm @ Kona Cafe (We keep trying to get Ohana but for some reason this one was booked solid on 180 days. Never had an issue getting an ADR before, ever on 180 days out.)
Tuesday November 12
Breakfast at 8:25am @ Crystal Palace (This is mine and my sister's pick for character meal. Gotta love being in MK before the crowds!!)
Wednesday November 13
Depending on our flights, we might throw in a breakfast at Kona Cafe or Grand Floridian Cafe. Haven't booked the flights yet but I think the one we want is at 12:30pm so DME would pick us up around 9:30am so there might not be time for a sit down meal.
So we've pretty much stuck with our old stand bys for most of the meals for both trips. Emily is not a very adventurous eater so we decided to play it safe with our picks with her. Can't wait! Only 82 days til the first of our two adventures!
