So out of curiousity on your trip where have you booked for breakfast, lunch , etc.?

[Master Yoda]

Not to change the direction of this thread, but can anyone tell me when the buses start in the mornings? We are staying at the Caribbean Resort, but do not have a rental car. We have booked several pre-park breakfasts at the resorts (Contemporary Steakhouse, Boma, Polynesian), but I have heard the buses do not start until 8:00AM, which is much later than I would have hoped (Wanna get into the parks when they open!). If anyone can explain this or point me to a relavant thread I would appreciate it!:hammer:

I think the transportation starts a bit earlier that that, around 7:00 or 7:30 if I remember correctly. I have also heard that Disney will transport you to other resorts or the parks via a van if you have a dinning reservation before transportation starts running. I have never personally used it but I have heard it mentioned many times on this board.

Going in Sept and have reservations every day:
1st Day: Crystal Palace Dinner

Last Day: 1900 Park Fare - Breakfast

We are on the dining plan. We have:
...
Restaurant Marrakesh- though I might cancel this now


Don't cancel this one! I think you'll be in for a treat if you go ahead and keep your ressie. Yes, it does sound exotic and all... but everybody in my family has thoroughly enjoyed their meal at this locale... and a lot of my family tends to be picky eaters (they're the steak and potatoes kind!)

You made me hungry with all your selections... and anxious for our next trip in Dec.

ENJOY!

We leave in 29 days for 10 days.

We only have 4 ressies.

California Grill, Citricos, Rose n Crown and Fantasmic Package (don't remember which resturant)

I think this is more ressies than I did for our trip last year. We've never had problems getting into meals. Then again most of our dinners end up with a conversaton at the pool saying "What should we do for dinner?"!

My trip isn't until Dec. 27th (141 more days. . sigh. .but it's coming, just slowly!) but the other day I called to make ADRs at the following places. We got the DDP this time around. Some might say it was a waste because I normally never get dessert and I’m not used to getting any appetizers. But I figure I’ll eat what I can and that’s life. Plus I never used to hit a nice restaurant everyday because I didn’t want to carry the money around. Now the DDP makes it easier for me to go and try out places I’ve wanted to enjoy or I wanted to go back again to.

Day 1 – Dinner at San Angel Inn in Mexico/Epcot
Day 2 – Dinner at the 50’s Prime Time Café in MGM (tell you the truth, after hearing stories about your very hyper or maybe not so hyper service, I’m a bit nervous!)
Day 3 – Dinner at Shutters, at the Caribbean Beach Resort (where we are staying)
Day 4 – Dinner at the Nine Dragons in China/Epcot
Day 5 – Late lunch/early dinner at the Hollywood Brown Derby in MGM
Day 6 – Dinner at the Concourse Steakhouse in the Contemporary Resort
Day 7 – Probably lunch at the Rainforest Café (off the DDP sadly)
Day 8 – Breakfast at Cinderella’s Royal Table at the Magic Kingdom
Day 9 – Either lunch or dinner at Planet Hollywood (off the DDP too)
Day 10 – Lunch at L’Originale Alfredo di Roma Ristorante in Italy/Epcot

I only like one main, big meal a day, so the rest we just plan to get whatever looks good at the moment.

[dixiegirl]

Where to begin...we're 45 days away and we are going to the following:
California Grill, Crystal Palace, Kona Cafe, Hollywood Brown Derby (1st time), Alfredo's, Artist Point (1st time) & Cinderella's Royal Table. Yikes, you can tell we're on the dining plan. There goes the diet, I should gain a good 10 pounds!

oh i hear ya there with the diet...i try and lose extra before we leave because when we are at disney.....there is no such thing as "a diet"....oh yes can taste those turkey legs now mmmmmmmm...

Day5-Nothing planned
Day6-Hoop De Doo- My favorite!
Day7-Last day in the parks so we are leaving it open. We don't really like to have something everyday because I don't want to HAVE to be somewhere if I am having a good time.

 

[monorailguy01]

I called a few days before the trip, and got great seats, but if we decide to eat at a sit down and dont have a reservation we would just go to guest services and they would always hook us up with a time..... so eather way we ate where we wanted to.. the best is when we went to LTT and it was around lunch time and 2 partys did not show or were late and we went in asked for a table for 4 and they sat us with in 10 min.. IT was sooo good

 

[Tenny317]

Day 1- Liberty Tree Tavern
Day 2- California Grill
Day 3- San Angel Inn
Day 4- Teppanyaki
Day 5- Last Day/leaving/Animal Kingdom so we're not sure yet..maybe rainforest

 

[Tenny317]

P.S.-
I totally hear you on the dieting...it sucks! This is my third vacation in 3 months haha..I'm spoiled! My boyfriend came to my cabin with my family and I for 8 days...I gained 7lbs hahaha...Go me lol...Then I'm going to cape cod with his family in 10 days for a week...weight gaining there and then back to college and then to disney at the end of september...i have found weight watchers to be the most effective weight lose...when i was 17 i lost 40lbs and have pretty much kept it all off granted 5-10lbs up and down! I am now a size like 4 from a size 15...so it works! But before I go to Disney I need to work up my appetite!
