So I am an overplanner. I admit it but I really enjoy the process of planning a vacation. Researching, reading, and coming up with a gameplan is fun to me. I had posted my reservations before and got some good tips that I took to heart. This is my updated reservations and plans. Thoughts?
Basic info - This trip is my wife and I only. No dining plan and no park hopper passes. Because of this, planning is essential. We are both adventurous eaters and want to be able to try as much as possible. We are staying at Kidani Village and unless I list a breakfast, we will be eating in our room.
Day 1
Arrival
Lunch - snacks on the run
Dinner - Sanaa
Day 2
EPCOT
Lunch - World Showcase snacks
Dinner - Chef Art Smith's Homecomin'
Day 3
Magic Kingdom
Lunch - Be Our Guest
Dinner - snacks
I am also surprising my wife with a Happily Ever After Dessert Party that night
Day 4
Animal Kingdom
Lunch - Harambe Market (with dessert at Tamu Tamu)
Dinner - Nomad Lounge
We also have the Caring for Giants tour on this day
Day 5
Disney Springs/relaxing
This day we will be eating and drinking around Disney Springs while doing a little shopping as well
Lunch - Jock Lindsey's Hangar Bar, Morimoto Street Food, Coca Cola Roof Top Bar, etc (we have quite a few places we want to sample things at)
Dinner - Raglan Road
Day 6
EPCOT for the afternoon
Brunch - California Grill
Dinner - World Showcase snacks
We are returning to California Grill to watch Happily Ever After
Day 7
Hollywood Studios
Lunch - 50's Prime Time
Dinner - Sci Fi Dine-In Theatre
Typically I wouldn't do two reservations in one day (unless it was breakfast and dinner) but this is the only day we are going to HS. We have 8 hours between these reservations.
Day 8
Magic Kingdom
Breakfast - 1900 Park Fare
Lunch - snack
Dinner - Snacking around the Polynesian (Captain Cooks, Kona Island, Tambu Lounge)
Day 9
Animal Kingdom
Breakfast - Boma
Lunch - split meal at Satu'li Canteen
Dinner - Frontera Cocina
Day 10
Magic Kingdom
Lunch - Columbia Harbor House
Dinner - Maji Pool Bar or In Room Dining at Kidani Village...possibly a 2nd Sanaa trip?
Day 11
EPCOT
Lunch - World Showcase
Dinner - World Showcase
Then we go to Magic Kingdom for Disney's After Hours event
Day 12
departure
I will also say we have tried a number of restaurants in the past including Biergarten, 'Ohana, The Wave, Liberty Tree Tavern, Garden Grill, Akershus Royal Banquet Hall, Hoop Dee Doo, Le Cellier, Cinderella's Royal Table, Crystal Palace, Chef Mickeys, Boatwrights, Olivias, Kona Cafe, etc. We wanted to hit a couple old favorites and try mostly new places this trip.
