Oy. Now I have to go to the Polish Deli this week. Your fault. Beyond the Gołąbki's I'll have to pick up some potato pancakes and some fresh Polish Sausage and while I am at it some kielbasa. All JenniferS's fault.
I am a big fan of Kona, especially for dinner. Teppan Edo is a must do for us, service is spot on as are their ressies. Chef's I like for dinner more than breakfast, gives you more for the dollar on DP or out of pocket. I've done Ohana's for both breakfast and dinner. It isn't what it once was for dinner and I believe it is tie for worst holding to ADR times along with Coral Reef, though I've never had a bad meal at Coral, I enjoy the food, it is no longer romantic, thanks to dining plan. I've given Mama Melrose a couple of tries I am done likely forever. I love the concept of SciFi but the food has never lived up to the atmosphere though if the reviews ever came back that their food became better I'd give it a try. Big River Grille that gets some bad press, it has the bestest burger on property in my opinion. It is amazing Kobe burger that leaves ones mouth so happy. They also have some interesting drink offerings. I'd hit this one in a heartbeat as a young'n. I thank my DS for reintroducing me to this place. Even the bun itself is wondrous.Whatever floats your boat. Coral Reef I just warn everyone about. Last time, the wait was long, the restaurant was noisy, and the food was not that great (plus, I don't like fish. The steak was okay, though).
And you know I've never had a boyfriend, so the concept of romance just escapes me. I get asked the questions on online quizzes about perfect dates, and I'm like, "Couldn't we just stay in, order a pizza and watch some Netflix?"Cape May is nice and leisurely, though, plenty of time for talking. And they tend to leave you alone other than asking if you want a refill.
We might have been down there at the same time...I too was there for Katrina. Charlie was the other one we were there for. Charlie was definitely worse than Katrina; I don't recall Katrina doing too much.
Chefs is my favorite(although, even with my lack of knowledge about what is romantic, it's not romantic). I can see why your son wants to eat there. Sad because they took it off TIW and we haven't been in over a year (last time I went was with bestie). When I went with my Bestie, as teens, we sometimes got subpar service from waiters and waitresses who clearly did not want to be serving two teens. There were places that were great, like BOG, SciFi, and Teppan Edo, and there were places where the wait staff definitely had an attitude, like definitely Kona. Chefs was the definite exception. The service was excellent, the waitress probably the most friendly one the entire trip, and the entire wait staff was great. So I can see why your son wants to eat there. Great food + staff that doesn't mind waiting on young people = excellent.
We've liked Tutto the past few times. It was not great there for a while, but now it's gotten better.
Have not been to Ohana. Love Kona. Went twice in one day with Bestie. We went for breakfast, pulled a long MK day, and came back for dinner. Oddly enough, there was a staff member there for both meals. We recognized her and said, "Boy, you've been here a long time." Evidently, she started at 6 am, went to midnight, and then came back the next day (Sunday) and did the exact same thing.We felt really bad for her. Learned an important lesson, though. Sometimes, when a CM is not smiling or looking the best, it's good to remember that while you are on vacation, they are not, and sometimes, their job just plain sucks. They're just trying to support themselves and/or their families.
Any Disney mail is exciting to me.I don't know how I missed this coming in the mail:

Not nearly as exciting as MagicBands, but we don't get those until we check into the hotel.
These ones are from Denninger's, the German deli where we get our Christmas/Easter hams.

Remember, I'm also the guy that loves these bottom feeders...
Slurp. 
Why don't you get the magic bands sent to you? Is it because you are in Canada?I don't know how I missed this coming in the mail:

Yes. They only ship domestic US.
Do you still get to customize them?
Yes, but they hold them at the resort, iirc.
Another TS I was thinking they might like is the Garden Grill in the Land. Is it a character meal but it's also all you can eat with some very tasty food. The rolls with honey butter are so good.
Thanks!
Oh thank you for the reminder. I tried very hard to get that last trip, with zero luck.
