Our Nov. ADRs

[OswaldTheRabbit]

So we are heading down in november for 9 days and just thought I would share our final ADRs. They are kid/character focused for our DSs (3 and 8) but figured this will be only last character focused trip! Any thoughts? We have more ADRs than dining credits so we will have to pay it of pocket for 2.

Friday 11/09: arrive at AoA and do a QS at a park

Saturday 11/10: dinner at Tony's Town Square (REALLY not sure about this one)

Sunday 11/11: food and wine
dinner @ Biergarten

Monday 11/12: Christmas party
Breakfast at Crystal Palace
dinner @ Liberty Tree

Tuesday11/13: dinner at Citricos

Wednesday 11/14: breakfast @ Hollywood and Vine (for OSO)
Dinner @ Mama Melrose

Thursday 11/15: lunch @ Le Cellier

Friday 11/16: dinner @ 'Ohana

Saturday 11/17: breakfast @ Chef Mickey

New restaurants for us are:
Tony's town square
Crystal palace
Hollywood and vine
Citricos

Any thoughts? I am thinking of paying OOP for Tony's and one of the breakfast buffets.

Looks awesome!

From what I have seen lately Tony's looks a lot better than it was. I've spleen sipome fantastic looking dishes so I don't think I would be too worried!

That said how about 1900 park fair at the GF?

Check out my new pics in my food report

Tell me about Germany and 'ohana. I've done mama melrose and was very upset with quality. I'm from the north east so when it comes to italian I'm picky.

I am from Philly so I completely hear you about Italian food. That is one reason the Italy restaurants in Epcot never make the list and why I am leary of Tony's Town Square!

For us Germany is super fun but my family is polish and my husbands is German so we love that type of food. The show is fun and loud so we don't have to worry about the kids being loud! The desserts are yummy.

'Ohana is our favorite restaurant we have every tried in the world. Everything is beyond yummy! The dessert is something I dream about but I love bread pudding. The only issue we have is there is always a long wait even with an ADR so we made an early reservation this time (5:20) and just will skip lunch. We have been there when wishes is going on in MK and it is great to watch while eating. There is a cute parade for the kids where they get leis and parade around the restaurant but it isn't obnoxious where if you didn't have kids it would bug you!

I would highly recommend both. 'Ohana wins between them but both super fun!

 

[quirkle]

Thanks. I have 2 kids so anything to drown them out is a plus. Lol

We were going to do Tonys last time but I have thats issue and MM was so subpar. I also don't bother with Italy for food.

I am in an area known for pizza and don't ever. Eat it out of my general area.

I never think about 1900 Park Fair! Your pics are great! The strawberry soup looks amazing!

Philly has great pizza too so I completely understand! Now that I am in KY I do not even touch it! The big thing here is Little Ceasars $5 pizzas.... AWFUL!

I am so sorry. That is horrible. To think people think that is good.

They LOVE it! Crazy!

 

[Pooh Lover]

Really outstanding choices! We never do breakfasts but know that there are several great ones out there. The only ADR I would have flinched a little at was Tony's but I've never been there, just a little gun shy about it. If you keep it, come back and let us all know how it was.

And yes, I agree, Little Caesars IS horrible!

This is why we ordered steak when we went. I grew up in NJ and DH just doesn't get why I'm so picky. I will say this- the steak was very good.

I ate at Biergarten many years ago...it was great then, but it was also pre-buffet days. We enjoyed 'Ohana dinner as well...I mean, I wouldn't expect Brazilian steakhouse quality, but it was good, plentiful, and a fun atmosphere.

We LOVE Crystal Palace breakfast...so much so that I decided to add it to our schedule- although I'm giving the kids the option of that vs. Chef Mickey's breakfast...we which also like.

We did Hollywood & Vine last summer and we thought it was WONDEFUL. Oso was incredible. All of the characters came back multiple times, but Oso was the rock star of the meal. He even "bear" hugged DH. He also brought the girls up to dance with him when they did their Playhouse Disney spot.

Tony's Town square was in my original line up, but I changed a few things and ultimately got scared away from mixed reviews...so I'm no help there. And Citrico's is the one I want to try every single trip, but there's just never enough time/space.

Beyond that, I haven't eaten at LTT in eons, but we're returning again this trip for lunch. Did Le Cellier for lunch last trip- nice meal...same for 'Ohana dinner. It's been many years since I've been to Biergarten, so no recent thoughts on that, but Crystal Palace breakfast and Chef Mickey's breakfast are two of our faves. Sadly, our girls will have to pick one or the other for this trip. We've done Mama Melrose before and enjoyed it and will be trying it again for lunch this trip since I like doing the F! pkg.

All in all- looks like some great choices. Looks like we'll also be there some of the time you're there. We arrive on Nov 15th

I have eaten at Tony's Town Square the past 4 trips (2007-2011) and we have enjoyed it each time. The food is pretty good, its a great location and the theme is cute. I've had the eggplant parm and veal parm and both were good. The DH got the seafood alfredo each time and he LOVED it. The portions are a very good size and we've always had leftovers.

Crystal Palace is always a must do for us, we have eaten there for all 3 meals and have enjoyed them all. The characters are great and the view is amazing if you are seated on the side facing the castle.

I've only eaten at Hollywood & Vine for dinner, it was okay, it was pretty loud and kids were running around, but that's expected at Disney.

We went to Citricos for the first time in March, the food was good but our waiter was horrible. I think it would have made a huge difference if we had a good server, this actually put Citricos at the bottom of my signature dining list.

Tony's isn't terrible. If it were pizza, I wouldn't categorize it with Little Caesar's, lol. It isn't BAD; it just isn't any good. If you were offsite and passing one, you could go to Olive Garden, which is better and cheaper. Either switch to the Plaza or just know that at least you'll have done Tony's for yourself.

I really like the CP for breakfast, but a friend of mine said she thinks they changed the potatoes, which will seriously bum me out. Still, the puffed French Toast is good. It's really like having dessert for breakfast, but I don't care. Not like I eat there every day. . CP and RFC are my favorite breakfasts.

I like H&V for breakfast, although I haven't been there since last spring. It isn't up there with CP, RFC, 1900 or CM's...but it's good. Well, breakfast food is my favorite kind, so I have a hard time not liking any breakfast...but I enjoy it.

 

[PolynesianPrincess]

CP for breakfast is great! Especially if you havea pre-park opening dining time. There's just something about being able to walk down a nearly empty Main Street in the morning. OH, and the food at CP is pretty good too. Standard buffet fare but be sure to try the Pooh's puffy french toast. It's on the kids table but it's SO GOOD!!

Le Cellier is one of ours favs as is Ohana. We're actually trying breakfast for the first time at Ohana in 3 weeks along with our regular dinner there. We also had Tony's booked but changed it since we changed to AK that day. Still would like to try it, especially for lunch eating out on the patio watching the 3:00 parade!

Great choices!!

ughh...Little Ceasars

 

[tracyandalex]

I suggest checking prices on the buffets because it might be cheaper to pay for Biergarten OOP and use the DP for a character meal.

Now on to your picks:

Tony's - we enjoyed it, the Lady 7 the Tramp theming is different. It's not the best Italian, but it's far from the worst.
Biergarten - we love this place!
Crystal Palace breakfast - DD4 enjoys this because of the characters and the food is good. This one may cost more than Biergarten.
Liberty Tree Tavern - this one is a good family style Thanksgiving style all you can eat. We always enjoy it. A tip - the bathrooms are very small, one time the men's room even had a line so you may want to take hte kids before the food arrives
Hollywood & Vine breakfast - DD makes us eat here every visit, she loves meeting the characters here. They also have dances that they do with the kids, very interactive and fun for them.
Mama Melrose - We like it, not great, not bad either. The spaghetti & meatball cupcake looks awesome!
Ohana dinner - we always enjoy this one! It is not my favorite (I'm pretty sure DH disagrees with me), but it is definietly good. They have a parade that they do with the kids. The Lapu Lapus are great for the adults
Chef Mickey's breakfast - we do this one on our last day every trip! We love it! This one also may be more expensive then Biergarten.

Your list looks awesome, enjoy!!

For us Germany is super fun but my family is polish and my husbands is German so we love that type of food.

(high-five) I'm Polish too!

 

[real mad hatter]

Yep,Looks awesome.I know some reviews of Tony's haven't been too kind but altho I haven't been,I'd give it a go anyway.
