For all the hype about Cinderella's Royal Table, we were not impressed. Unless you love the characters, the food is not worth 2 credits each. At least in my opinion.Happy Thursday! I don't have any REAL updates for our September WDW vacation,
However, I'm definitely in full blown planning stage!
According to the trip countdown on my phone, we have 226 Days until our trip. It makes me happy every time I think about it!!
The 4th of July is our Disney Fast Pass + day... which is going to be such a bummer! I will have the day off from work since its a National Holiday, but I will still need to wake up at 6:00am to be sitting at my laptop to make my FP's. Too early on my day off.... but of course I do what I gotta do!
March 6th is our Disney ADR Day which is only 48 days away! We really need to make a plan, and then a back up plan for our dining options. Kevin literally always gets up with me and makes me coffee on ADR day... he is my cheerleader while I am trying to get what we want and the times we want!
Kevin and I have continued our Disney ADR conversation, and we are in agreement that we are going to try our very best to ONLY eat at new restaurants that we haven't eaten at before. There are a couple of restaurants that I've eaten at years ago before I met my husband, so I'm including them to be in the running.
After going through every single WDW park and resort restaurant and removing every restaurant that we have eaten at, here is the final list that we have to choose from:

We have the Disney Dining Plan, so we will have 7 Table Service Credits to make ADR's with. I know that a lot of the restaurants listed use 2 table service restaurants and we are ok with that!
Over the next couple of days, we are going to sit down with this list and look at menus to see which ones look delicious!
I would LOVE some suggestions from anyone who is reading this PTR! Are any of the restaurants on this list YOUR favorites? Or are any of the restaurants on this list your least favorites? I would love some recommendations!
Since it's fairly new, we've never been to Skippers Canteen.
Tony's Town plaza is okay. Just your basic Italian food. Although if you can get a ADR around the times of the parade and get a seat in the room overlooking Main Street, it offers a great view of the parade.
My family and I love Garden Grill. The food is served family style and I love that it rotates around the Living with the Land ride. My son has loved it since he was 3. Plus, the character interaction is amazing. They usually come around 3 or 4 times. Definitely a thumbs up on that one.
Biergarten was just okay. The food isn't really remarkable. It's just okay for us.
Teppan Edo was a fun experience. Even my picky son was able to find something to eat. And you get to watch them cook the food in front of you. It's pretty neat.
Coral Reef is one we only did once. Mostly because I'm allergic to shellfish so we stay away from places where there could be a problem. The food was pricey, but good. If you can get a seat by the tank, it's fun.
50s Prime Time is fun if you get a cast member that is in character. We had one that was so so and it was kind of a let down. But the food was good and filling.
Bongos Cuban Cafe is fun. We were seated in the main room and their show is pretty fun to watch.
