My ADR for October trip

[Tinkerbell 8]

My boyfriend and I are going to WDW in October, this will be his first time, my 13th, and I wanted to make sure he got the full Disney experience. He loves food, so I upgraded the free dining plan to the deluxe (i've had the deluxe before and I enjoyed being able to go to the signature restaurants and we will be there during the F&W festival so we can use our snack credits there). Here is a list of my ADR's, let me know your opinions. (We booked our trip a few weeks ago so I was a little limited as to where we could get ADR's)

10/26- dinner at Artist Point
10/27- breakfast at Kona Cafe, dinner at Narcossee's
10/28- breakfast at Akershus Royal Banquet Hall, dinner at Flying Fish (never been here)
10/29- breakfast at Boma, dinner at Jiko
10/30- breakfast at 1900 Park Fare, dinner at California Grill
10/31- dinner at Brown Derby
11/1- breakfast at Cinderella's Royal Table

*I keep checking to see if anything opens up at Le Cellier or Bistro de Paris, I have never eaten at either but I keep hearing great stuff about them.

Congrats on your trip!!! The only one I can advise on is Le Cellier. DF ate there in 2011, and the food was good, however the service was really BAD!! We will never waste 2 credits there ever again. I was extremely disappointed. I wouldn't waste 2 Credits for dinner there. You could try for lunch if you want, I'm just saying...
Have a Magical trip!!

Looks like a fantastic line-up!

I think you should try to include the Hoop-Dee-Doo Revue......it's a WDW classic experience all on its own.

All of your selections sound great. However my DW was at the flying fish for a corporate event and she said that the food was not that great. If you can't get Bistro de Paris, I would try to Chefs de France. The food is really good and may be able to get an ADR. I agree with BamaDisneyFan's post about Le Cellier. We had a very similar experience.

Think about Jiko vs Sanaa; I haven't been to either, but hear good things about Sanaa if you're thinking about being in the AK area for dinner that evening.

Everything thing else looks good - lucky guy!

Looks like an awesome lineup

As far as I know Bistro de Paris will be closed during your trip, mine too. On the bright side you will be there during the food and wine festival so I suggest sampling your way around Epcot for dinner.

Hope you have a wonderful trip.

Congrats on your trip! I loved doing the Deluxe for that reason too - lots of Signature experiences!

We loved going to Akershus for bfast! I did not care for lunch/dinner. But bfast was great!
1900 Park Fare and CRT are a fave - as is Brown Derby! Kona is fab for bfast!
I have not been to the others - well, Boma for dinner and it was great so I am sure bfast will be too! Since I do not eat seafood, we have not been to Narcossee's and Flying Fish.

10/26- dinner at Artist Point (never been here)
10/27- breakfast at Kona Cafe, dinner at Narcossee's (Kona breakfast was great when we went in May.. dining at 'Coosee's for the first time next month!)
10/28- breakfast at Akershus Royal Banquet Hall, dinner at Flying Fish (never been here) (we have an ADR for breakfast at Akershus next month. Never been so we're excited)
10/29- breakfast at Boma, dinner at Jiko (never been to either but her rave reviews about both!)
10/30- breakfast at 1900 Park Fare, dinner at California Grill (been to both. Had great character interactions at 1900 last time we went. Cand Cali Grill was the best meal I had in May. I had the filet and it was DELISH!!)
10/31- dinner at Brown Derby (never been)
11/1- breakfast at Cinderella's Royal Table (never been)

Looks like you have quite a variety of places!!
Some people have pointed out bad service at Le Cellier but I dined there twice in May and we had 2 different servers both times and they were great. We were a little skeptical because we have the Tables in Wonderland card and 18% tip is automatically added so we thought our service might slip where the tip is included but it didn't. Both our servers were excellent. If something opens up, I suggest grabbing it!!

10/26- dinner at Artist Point Never been but sounds good
10/27- breakfast at Kona Cafe, Never been but heard the coffee and Tonga toast is good
dinner at Narcossee's Loved it! I have reservations to go again in January. Great view of the lake.
10/28- breakfast at Akershus Royal Banquet Hall,No desire to go ( I don't have a daughter), too many Princesses
dinner at Flying Fish (never been here) Never been but the menu looks good, had good reviews
10/29- breakfast at Boma Love breakfast at Boma, went there last November
dinner at Jiko absolute favorite restaurant on Disney property. The flat bread is fantastic! Service is top notch
10/30- breakfast at 1900 Park Fare Never been, looks cute
dinner at California Grill Never been, menu looks good and is supposed to have a beautiful view
10/31- dinner at Brown Derby Been there twice, first time was wonderful, food was excellent, so was service. The last time we went(last November) they double booked all of the ADRs for the evening. Supposedly a computer glitch. It was a MESS. We had ADRs for 4:30 and did not get seated until 5:30. My son fell asleep in the foyer. Everyone around us was Grumpy.We were planning on seeing Fantasmic at 6:30. Our server promised to get our food PRONTO. We had deluxe plan so we ordered appetizer, entree and dessert all at once. We left at 6:15 and RAN to Fantasmic. We found seats at the very far left of the stage. Barely made it. I was out of breath and mad that I did not get to relax for dinner. It was my first Fantasmic and I did not want to miss it.
11/1- breakfast at Cinderella's Royal Table Never been, want to go but my husband won't let me. It is plated and is 2 dining credits so he does not want to waist them on a plate of bacon and eggs. Too many little kids in a confined area for him.

If you can score a reservation for Le Cellier take it! It is my second favorite signature restaurant. The service was good and the food was excellent. I had the Cheese soup with pretzel bread. Yummy! I had a steak filet for entree and the maple creme brule for dessert. We also like the Yachtsman for dinner and the Crystal Palace for breakfast. Enjoy your stay!
