.Good for you! I’m doing the same in December (primarily because I couldn’t book the top tier restaurants I was trying for). So, I’m setting myself up to really enjoy places I’ve never eaten (hello Nine Dragons and The Plaza). It will be a different type of trip. But I know we’ll enjoy it. I know there’s a WDW “premium” built into restaurant pricing, but, like you, I don’t want to get so little value for so spending much money. I could have booked Monsieur Paul, but $195 per person before wines are purchased is over the top for me. I know others will enjoy it more than I would.
For my family and I, the prices would be okay if the food quality made up for it but most of the time it hasn't. Decreased food quality in many Disney restaurants is what is making us do more offsite dining and other places instead. We're also not bothering with any prix fixe meals since they seem overpriced for what you're really getting.
We have all of our offsite dining booked (including Cowfish at Universal) and we plan on doing Jaleo, Ale and Compass and Jiko in terms of Disney dining.
Not only that - but sometimes Disney serves WAY too much food. It's like - here's your trough of food. LOL
This has been a big factor for us, especially since it is my pickiest eater.We will have a "Disney adult" 11 yr old for our next trip and it has caused me to re-evaluate my ADR wish list.
I am literally here about that same issue. I have a very particular (read picky), vegetarian 11 year old kid and it is almost impossible to feed him on-site from the kids menu let alone the adult menu. They say they will accommodate, but then it's an issue when we get there. Can't find a simple grilled cheese sandwich. My day 60 is tomorrow at 3 am. Rethinking everything! ugh...(This post sounds fussy, but I'm really just exhausted and worn out. I know that sounds redundant, but it's really both )We will have a "Disney adult" 11 yr old for our next trip and it has caused me to re-evaluate my ADR wish list.
Yup, cause they gotta get fancy and use multiple cheeses...once we were between staying at POR and POFQ and the deciding factor was POFQ had a grilled cheese at the CS.Can't find a simple grilled cheese sandwich.
We have kids with multiple allergies. Unfortunately QS takes just as long as TS (tracking down the chef, placing multiple separate orders etc). We can’t just pick up something from a gift shop (AKL directed us to do that when they had no openings for the last 2 hours for mobile orders at Sanaa - our worst deluxe stay by far).I am literally here about that same issue.
