Please post your Disney dining plans

Depending on the time we get to the lodge we might eat at jiko.

The following 8 days:
Jiko
Boathouse
Il Mulino
Paridisco 37
Narcoossee’s
Yatchsman for thanksgiving with a custom Cale for my daughter.
Flying fish
Morimoto

Breakfast we punt cause we rope drop. Lunch we punt based on park cause I love my dinners at Disney. Hs day we will prob go to mama melrose if we can get in. Epcot day we will go food stands. Animal kingdom days r canteen hands down! Magic kingdom food does nothing for us. I will say this summer the special burger for incredibles summer was pretty good. There r so many holiday random foods we will just junk out probably a lot. Lol.
 
(Almost) the same dates as you @aml3679 ! DH and I are going to be at the Grand Floridian January 5th until the 10th. We are staying club level so will likely have breakfast in the lounge most days.


Saturday - Arrival day - Narcoossee's for dinner (timed for the Fireworks) (Probably will not go into the parks)
Though we live in Ohio, we will be driving up from Fort Myers Beach that day after spending New Year's with DH's family (his mom is a New Year's Eve Baby)

Sunday - MK Day: late lunch at Tony's and dinner at Citricos

Monday - AK Day: Tiffins for late lunch (this may change based on Fast Passes Shifting). We currently have dinner reservations at California Grill, however, I will cancel those if we are able to get tickets to Disney After Hours at MK (need to call them today). DH said he'd rather ride rides over that coveted Cali Grill reservation that I made ages ago - and there are so many places to eat at Grand Floridian...

Tuesday - HS AM/Epcot PM: We have a Grand Floridian Cafe breakfast scheduled (we love their pancakes). Currently have lunch @ Brown Derby (though I may cancel this - we preferred the appetizers on their patio over the meal last time). And dinner at Teppan Edo.

Wednesday: Back to MK? Currently have FP's for MK. That may shift based on how our week goes. If we go to MK, we have a lunch reservation at Liberty Tree Tavern. And, i just snagged a dinner reservation at California Grill (later than I'd like, but we can keep trying to shift that)

Thursday: Departure Day. We have a long drive (10+ hours day 1, 6 more hours day 2) so will likely just have a nice relaxing breakfast at Grand Floridian Cafe again and hit the road ;-)
 
So glad you are staying at the Grand Floridian - maybe someday. We are staying at Port Orleans Riverside.

Your dining plans sound great. Never ate at Narcoossee's - my husband has a severe seafood allergy. Tiffins looks great. California Grill is expensive but amazing - make sure you are there around the time the fireworks go off - they have an outdoor balcony you can watch them from. Have fun. I am sure we will see each other and not even know it. We cannot wait.

We stayed at the Contemporary last year, and it was such a treat to see the fireworks from the balcony in our room - our dinner reservation is at 9 PM so we'll have to head over early and watch from the balcony while we wait for our table! (or hopefully move our reservation up!)

This is our first time at the Grand Floridian. We went to breakfast there last year on our last day and DH said he wanted to stay there next time. I am hoping that the Gingerbread house is still up when we get there. Last year, they didn't remove the Christmas decorations in MK, HS, or in the hotel until the 7th or so!!

First Disney trip for us. Celebrating both our birthdays plus our anniversary. Also first trip alone since the kids are born. We are very excited.

Thank you all also for the Epcot suggestions :D Will make getting lunch easier.
 
We swore we would never be those people to visit WDW just for a resort stay but when super cheap flights pop up and you can snag a moderate for under $200/night it’s hard to pass up. WDW just makes it easy with their free transportation, sucked us right in! Anywho our January mini vacation from the cold without any parks means the food becomes the attraction:

Day 1, Arrival night: straight to Disney Springs for Morimoto Street Food for egg rolls, cold sesame noodles and ribs. And a lot of adults beverages along the way.

Day 2: brunch at Boma, drinks at Mizner’s and California Grill for dinner & fireworks in the evening.

Day 3: POR food court for lunch unless we feel like taking the boat back to DS for some Boathouse eats. Drinks at Geyser Point then Storybook dining in the evening.

Day 4: breakfast at the resort, ESPN Club (ugh not my call, but the probowl is on; I’m just going for the drinks) then Belle Vue lounge at Boardwalk and dinner TBD in that area.

Day 5: on a plane back home and back to keto :laughing:
