We FINALLY booked our next WDW trip!!

[DisneyPrincess5]

Hi all! :wave:

It's been a long road this past year-between graduating from college and finding a job, it was difficult to be able to plan a trip a trip not knowing if I'd be able to take time off and what not, not to mention contributing to footing the bill. Now that I got a great job-we're good to go! This weekend we finally booked our next magical Disney trip!

We'll be in The World from 4/30-5/8 at the Coronado. We've never been at that time of year! Ryan has never been to the Coronado-I stayed there about 5 years ago but it'll be new to me too due to the refurb.
****UPDATE: We switched our reservation to the Dolphin!****

We're super excited!!! :sohappy:

Our last trip was during the cold front Florida experienced this past January so it'll be nice to not have to worry about that come early May.

Now for dining-so far we know we want to eat at Mexico, Crystal Palace, and Narcoossee's and we might splurge for CRT. Any suggestions are welcomed!

Thanks for all the well wishes everyone-you guys are so sweet.

Tiaragirl- thank you and glad to hear you enjoyed May!! Like I said it's something new for us and were super pumped about it.

Zurgandfriend- thank you and best wishes to DW! Thanks for the suggestions. We love Cali Grill and the more people bring it up the more I want to go
back! Bistro de Paris sounds good-do they have something in particular you like to get?

The last time we ate there we enjoyed the following:
Appetizer;
DW - Escargot Cassolette with porcini mushrooms and parsley butter
Me - Sautéed Jumbo Shrimp - with parsley and garlic, crab and sesame seed croquette, cocktail sauce
Entrée;
DW - Grilled Beef Tenderloin - beef Parmentier, asparagus, peppercorn sauce
Me - Rack of Lamb - roasted with thyme, ratatouille, and thin onion tart with rosemary and eggplant caviar gratin with parmesan
Before dessert we shared a French Assortment of Cow and Goats Cheeses - served with mixed salad
Dessert;
DW Warm Grand-Marnier Soufflé
Me Dessert Crepes Duo - one Suzette, the other like a purse with warm apples
Have your server recommend a bottle of wine to go with your meal. We did and loved it and he loved that we trusted him. We had a wonderful romantic meal.
Bon Appetite.

Hmm we have considered Ohana...the only glitch is that we normally stay at the Poly and unless Disney offers a big room discount deal, we'll be sticking with the Coronado sooo it might be too painful to go back to the Poly just to eat

OOO That jumbo shrimp at Bistro sounds great!!

UPDATE: We switched to the Dolphin!!!

Awww...that is so great. Booking that trip is always such a rush. And you will love the Dolphin. GREAT location and decent restaurants too. Also, thought I would throw out a recommendation for Boma for breakfast. We loved it!

Have a great trip.

Thanks! I stayed at the Dolphin a few times as well as the Swan and always loved them-great resorts!
Thanks for the Boma recommendation-I don't think Ryan will like it though hmm we'll see.
