My husband and I are going to Disney from January 5th until the 12th. We are staying at Port Orleans Riverside for the first time (unless a good deal opens up for Florida residents between now and then). Here are our dining plans for the week:

Saturday: Arrival day - Tutto Italia - we have eaten here before and just love it.

Sunday: Art Smith's Homecoming - never eaten here - I am going for the fried chicken myself

Monday: Be Our Guest for breakfast. We have eaten there before for dinner and were not that impressed. That being said, it was 5 years ago.

T-Rex for dinner - never eaten here before - a request from my husband.

Tuesday: San Angel Inn - we have eaten here before and love it.

Wednesday: Fronteria Cochina - we have never eaten here before but are big fans of Rick Bayless.

Thursday: Via Napoli - we have eaten here before and love it.

Friday: Hoop-de-Doo Review - have eaten here before and love it - it was fun and the food was great.

Saturday: Sadly, our last day - Kona for breakfast.

Thank goodness we only live 90 minutes from the magic.

Restaurants we love:

Raglan Road
50's Prime Time
House of Blues
 
My brother, sister-in-law, and I are going December 6th-9th for a slightly more relaxed trip than we usually take. Here are our plans:

Dec. 6th - Arrival day - late breakfast/early lunch in the car (it's a 3.5-4 hour drive), then Ohana before MVMCP (none of us has eaten at Ohana)

Dec. 7th - 1900 Park Fare breakfast (again, this is new to all of us and also all of our first character meal), QS lunch and QS dinner at AK

Dec. 8th - breakfast in-room, QS lunch in Epcot, and Raglan Road for dinner (Raglan Road is a favorite and we go there every trip)

Dec. 9th - Departure day - breakfast in-room, Sci-Fi Dine In for lunch before heading home (we've all done Sci-Fi before and liked it)
 
Myself, Mom, Stepdad, sister her DH and DD3 and my bestfriend and her DD12 - We are going a week from tomorrow Nov 10-18th at POR! Here are our plans:

11/10 - We arrive in the morning around 8:30am, but will be in Epcot later in the day so me and my BFF and her DD are meeting her sisters (their last day) for dinner at Teppan Edo in Japan. My sister, her DH and DD are heading to Beaches & Cream for dinner and my parents are just doing QS

11/11 - MK morning - Sleepy Hollow for fruit and nutella waffles for breakfast - this is a tradition on our first full day of each trip! Back to POR in the afternoon - My sister and her DH are having a meal just the 2 of them at Boatwrights at POR while we take my niece to the Riverside Mill food court and then we plan on walking over to FQ for Mickey beignets!

11/12 - DHS morning - No ADR's! We will just do QS at DHS and we are going to Disney Springs in the evening and we plan on eating at The Polite Pig for dinner (I cannot wait for this place!)

11/13 - Early Morning Magic at MK - we have a breakfast buffet at Pinocchios Village Haus and our dinner is at Epcot at the Garden Grill - one of our absolute favorites!

11/14 - This morning we are splitting up for 3 different early breakfast ADR's - Myself, BFF and her DD have a PPO 8am at Crystal Palace, my parents have a 8am Grand Floridian Cafe and my sister, DH are taking my niece to CRT at 8am

11/15 - AK - PPO 8:20am Tusker House and MVMCP that evening, so we will just get something quick for dinner at either POR or MK before the party

11/16 - Hoop Dee Doo Revue 6:15pm, Category 1 Seating - this is our absolute favorite meals every trip! It is a must do in our family.

11/17 - Epcot - Myself, BFF and her DD have a 8am PPO Garden Grill breakfast, midday break at the resort and we will all be back at Epcot for our last dinner of the trip at Via Napoli

11/18 - We are heading home so no plans but probably grab something quick at the food court before DME picks us up
 
My cousin and I are going Dec 7-13 for my 50th birthday!

Dec 7th - Paradiso 37 for dinner (never been before but menu sounded good)
Dec 8th - BOG breakfast (have been for lunch - not impressed and dinner before the new menu change and we loved it but this new menu for dinner does not appeal to us), Plaza for birthday milkshake, Pecos Bills for dinner

Dec 10th - not sure about lunch yet, Homecoming for dinner (can't wait for this one)

We rarely make ADR's, preferring to wing (most of) it, and reserve day-of. However, we do have a few this upcoming trip, as I was not sure how busy things would be around T-giving.

We have Jiko on night one, Boma breakfast on our departure day, and Biergarten (for Candelight Processional) one day.

Our other plans include Splitsville for sushi and bowling, Earl of Sandwich for breakfast, and I would like to try somewhere new - Turf Club is on my radar, but we will see where the days take us....

Our plans are in progress while I’m finalizing plans. I’ve been having a hard time finding the ADRs we are looking for. Hope things will open up as we get closer to FP day and then arrival.

Day 1 (Epcot):

B = Garden Grill PPO (hopeful)
L = QS - Katsura Grill?
S = Akershus

Day 2 (HS EMM and MK DAH):

B = ABC Commissary (included)
L = Woody’s Lunch Box or QS
S = 1900 Park Fare (hopeful)

Day 3 (MK):

B = Kona Cafe (late breakfast)
L = Unsure. May skip.
S = BOG reserved, but unsure. I think I’d rather do BOG QS for breakfast or lunch.

I’m thinking maybe BOG lunch and LTT supper if I can get the ADRs.

Day 4 (AK):

B = Boma PPO
L = Flame Tree BBQ
S = Yak & Yeti (I have FoLK Tier 1 reserved for Tiffins, but thinking of cancelling for YY as Tiffins just doesn’t appeal to me much)

Day 5 (Park Unknown as of yet but thinking MK):

B = BOG PPO
L = Liberty Tree Tavern for a late lunch before departing the park around 4:15 pm)

Then we head to the airport at supper time.
