5/17
Magic Kingdom
BOG 4:05 pm (This day is not changing come hell or high water)

This cracked me up but I totally understand! Glad you aren't budging on this one.

We are dining at Sanaa on 2/25. I'll have to remember to let you know how it goes. We've not been there before.

I know several of the tables are quite large. We were a party of five at a table for 8. You could try to call ahead but hopefully the could accommodate you the day of. I'm sure it will work out.

Have you been for lunch? The lunch menu looks really good, so I am actually thinking of doing FP for lunch so we can all go. We called and we were told they could add to our reservation due to the popularity of the restaurant. If dinner is better then I will stick with what I have, but I can't shake the "everyone should experience it once" feeling that I have.

*Could NOT add to our reservation. Oops!

I've been and it is amazing! As long as you like Indian food that is. It was hands down the best meal, service, view, everything all rolled in to one on our last trip

We've not been for lunch but have a FP+ for our first day. Trying to move that to our last day but haven't had luck yet.

Actually we've never had Indian food so this may or not be our favorite but we are open to try it and hopefully have a good experience. I'd made an ADR at Boma but my husband was concerned about it and we changed to Sanaa. We shall see.

Where is Beaches and Cream? I know it's at the Beach Club, but where is that?

Right next to Epcot. You can walk there from the back entrance in the World Showcase or take the boat from DHS. It's the Beach Club, Boardwalk, Yacht Club and I think one more thing over there.

Oops and if you mean where in the Beach Club, it's right next to Stormalong Bay

I am following your mindset in 2015. I am earning my PhD (finally) but will go to the big graduation so they call my name) but immediately following I am looking into my first disney cruise line getaway

Freaking out a little bit. They extended their stay to five days which only gives us two days without them and my mother in law does not want to go to MAGIC KINGDOM!!!!!!!!!!

Is she, and I say this in the kindest possible way,um...coo-coo for cocoa puffs? Who doesn't want to go to the magic kingdom?! I would look at her and say, "We planned this trip before you decided to come along so, if you don't like magic kingdom then we will meet you later!"

I gave up my BOG ADR

I shed a tear when I cancelled it and I had to force my finger to click the button, but it's gone now. But for good reasons. We have friends coming down just for Saturday and they have only been to MK once, will probably not go again for a long time and their daughter REALLY wanted to eat there, so I did what I think any of us would do and gave my reservation to them. Thank God it worked and they were able to book it after I cancelled or I would have been one sad mama. So now I am going to try my best to get a lunch FP+ since we have yet to try it for lunch anway. Sigh.

Oh, I'm so sorry. Well it seems that many people are now getting the email invite when they arrive so maybe that will happen if you can't get one before you leave. :cry:

But you are helping to make someone else's trip magical and that will bring pixie dust your way!

It's a very small restaurant. We were very surprised when we walked in at it's size. There's only a few booths and tables and a small number of stools at the counter. Because one wall is all mirrors, it looks much bigger in photos.
It was a fun place though. The food and ice-cream were really good. The patio area outside has a really nice view while you're waiting. That's one wait we didn't mind at all.

I can't wait to order the No Way Jose! Of course I will have to talk my 9 year old into it cause there is no way I can eat that by myself!
