I noticed that we were at WDW the same time as you, we were ther from the 13th to 30th October and stayed in a 1 bed at Old Key West.

I didn't do a dining report as we ate mainly offsite...well mainly cheesecake factory. We ate there 7 times in total!!

We also discovered Toojays which is now on our list of favourites and is a must do for our next trip. Have you been there?

Looked like you had a great time : 0 )

7 times wow - we do like cheesecake factory but haven't been for a few years. We've been to toojays once but a while ago - will have to go again.

I knew that I wanted to use TS credits for signature restaurants, but now I can see we will still have plenty of food with the snack credits throughout the day. You have done a phenomenal job!!

Thank you for reading and posting - glad it helped your planning

Thank you - wish I was going back soon, have a lovely trip

Lots of great pics! Looks like you had some yummy food! I think I need to try one of those coke floats from AK.

ilovepete · 01-27-2013, 08:22 PM

Your DD is soooo cute! She just looks so happy in all the pictures and I love all of her pretty dresses.

Loved your reviews, please come back and do another one!

SusieBea · 01-28-2013, 06:13 PM

Just read through your entire report. You made some really good choices. I'm sorry your experience at Citrico's was so poor. We really had a wonderful meal there. We also enjoy Jiko, Sanaa, Flying Fish, and Artist Point, oh, and Narcoossee's. Looking forward to your next report!

VillianDiva · 01-31-2013, 03:33 PM

I loved reading your dining report. It has pretty much made me want to go deluxe this year! Your daughter is adorable and I loved her coordinating outfits!!

Thank you SO much for such wonderful reviews!! I really love the great photo's and descriptions. Your daughter is adorable!

bbn1122 · 02-15-2013, 10:59 AM

Loved your review....

... As a Mom of 3 boys ...I really enjoyed seeing your beautiful daughter in all her princess dress etc. it looks like she had a blast....she is a lucky young lady to have such nice parents to take her on such a wonderful vacation.....

Once again, thank you for your time and effort with this review ....it was very helpful for our future trip in June. This time with just 2 of my boys and my nephew is coming along with his family....so once again an all boys Disney Adventure....

Last night my 6-year-old DS and I went through your beautiful DR to remind us of our similar (alas, shorter by several days) deluxe dining trip a couple years ago - you hit all the places we did - and to gather ideas for our next trip. Thank you so much for sparking memories in my kid, a lot came flooding back! Makes me wish I had documented the details better.

I wish we could do deluxe next time but the general price increase plus my oldest is a Disney adult now - oy, painful.

AndTheyLivedHappily · 02-21-2013, 07:33 PM

All of the steak and sides looked amazing! SO JEALOUS!

chinhk · 04-15-2013, 05:18 PM

Great reviews!

One question if you remember: How long did your three course meal at Narcoossee's took?

We have a ADR there at 7.55pm in Sept and hope to catch the hallowishes and the water pageant (either by having a table with a view if we are lucky enough or if not, it has to be from the verandah of the restaurant).
Considering to change our ADR to 7.30pm or so.

Agree about the price - one of the reasons we went for it in 2012. Glad it brought back happy memories

Our ADR was 7.20 and hallo wishes at 9.30. We were seated straight away and meal took 2 hours.
