Recommended "Special Requests" For Restaurants?

[chippydale33]

Hi all!

We'll be Disneymoon-ing in late October into November with the Deluxe Dining plan and staying at the GF. I've seen for restaurants like Sanaa where folks suggest requesting a table by the window for best viewing of animals, etc.

We're planning on going to the below restaurants (whether it be for breakfast, lunch, or dinner), so what would you recommend we request at time of reservation, if anything?

Aside from our list, what restaurants do you enjoy going to where you can put in a request for something to make the experience extra special?

Le Chefs de France
Grand Floridian Cafe (mostly for breakfast due to location)
Kona Cafe (mostly for breakfast due to location)
Be Our Guest
Yak & Yeti
Tiffins
The Boathouse
Via Napoli Ristorante
Garden Grill
Sanaa
California Grill
Rose & Crown Dining Room
Ale & Compass
Teppan Edo

Loved the Boathouse. Heard great things about STK as well. Be Our Guest, dinner has really gone downhill IMO with its new menu, so I would go for lunch if possible. Beaches and Cream is at the Beach Club and totally worth the walk if at Epcot one day for lunch even if just for the kitchen sink. GF Cafe was ok, DH didn't care for it. But keep in mind, your on the monorail line so getting to CR for the Wave or to the Poly for Kona Cafe is worth it. Haven't been to the others mentioned. Have fun.

Yes I did plan to go to Beaches and Cream one day for lunch! I think I assumed there wouldn't be a possibility to any "special request" there Did you go to GF Cafe for breakfast? We plan on going to Kona/GF Cafe each every other day for breakfast. In your opinion should we skip GF Cafe and do Kona/The Wave?

We did GF Cafe for breakfast one day - DH didn't care for it, I did though. They had a pretty decent eggs benedict. Not sure what you mean by "special request" but Beaches and Cream is very small inside so there's not much in way of seating being any better or different wherever you get seated.

I realized your on DxDp which we go to Disney on as well -- the kitchen sink wont be included so that's just an FYI. You have to be a party of 4 and all on the dining plan to have that included as the table dessert.

At Chefs de France ask to be seated near the windows & y’all can people watch.
