ADR's for Christmas Trip

[threeyoda]

So I have been planning this trip to Disney for Christmas to check out New Fantasyland (and to see the decorations in the parks again!) since April. I looked last week at restaurants and noticed that a lot were already booked solid, so I made reservations as soon as I could. So, these are our ADRs:

December 23

None, but might schedule this week. Any suggestions?

December 24 - Christmas Eve

8:50am at Kona Cafe
7:40pm at Teppan Edo

December 25 - Christmas Day

8:55am at Kouzzina
6:55pm at Sanaa

December 26

6:25pm at Tony's Town Square Restaurant

This is our first year making ADR's anywhere, usually we just eat at quick service places and maybe a table service for lunch here or there, if we can get in to one. So what do you guys think? We've never been to any of these restaurants so everything will be new!

Are you visiting a park on the 23rd or do you want a resort restaurant?

We'll be in the parks the 23, 24, 25, and 26. I'm fine with anything though. It can be a park or hotel.

Which park are you visiting?

Kona is probably my favorite resort restaurant, but Whispering Canyon, Boma, and Cape May Cafe are also great and you have a reasonable chance of getting an ADR. Depending on which park you are visiting, I would recommend Tusker House (AKL), '50s Primetime (DHS), Biergarten or Les Chefs du France (Epcot).

I'll look into those! Have you been to any of the restaurant I already have ADR's for? If so how are they?

I haven't been to Sanaa or Kouzzina. Sanaa seems to get good reviews across the board and the breakfast at Kouzzina gets rave reviews. Teppan Edo is very good, but very similar to most other Japanese hibachi grills that I have been to. I have eaten at Tony's twice. The food has been good both times. During my first visit, I had exceptional service and an exceptional waiter and during the second visit the service was a bit rushed. I absolutely loved their calamari with olive relish. It's one of my favorite appetizer's at WDW.

'Ohana
Whispering Canyon
Chef Mickey's
Sci-Fi
Teppan Edo
Princess Storybook
1900 Park Fare
Cinderella's Royal Table
Donald's Safari Breakfast

Sounds great!

We also just booked a December 24 breakfast reservation at Kona Cafe, based on all the good things I've heard.

I've had a taste for the Biergarten lately so I would suggest that. Fun show to see and good food and beer!
Whispering Canyon is a fun restaurant too.

I agree with Sci Fi for the atmosphere, and would add San Angel for the same reason. Should not be hard to get a ressie ofr either.

We went to Sanaa in May and it was delicious! The bread appetizer was great. We got the mango chutney, cilantro chutney and roasted red pepper hummus. We split it between 3 and it was perfect. The entrees were also good as well.

Kona Cafe breakfast is great as well. I had the pineapple macadamia pancakes and they were so yummy!

Kouzzina is great, my favorite breakfast place so far. . Be sure to get the sweet potato hash and French pressed coffee. Love Teppan Edo too, very fun. Never been to Tony's but have heard mixed reviews, I would love to hear your thoughts after you go.

What park are you visiting on the 23rd? Are you going with kids?

Ooh and Sanaa, I've been for drinks and apps and loved it! The staff was awesome, we have an ADR for our upcoming trip, I'm sure you will enjoy it.
