Your thoughts on Disney restaurants

[dwkay8]

Take anything the dining line gives you with a grain of salt. Here is a PDF of the 2011 dining plan brochure, just so I know we're looking at the same thing. On pages 4 and 5 you can see the restaurants that have a purple 2 next to them. They are the only restaurants that take two credits. Cinderalla's Royal Table is the only character dining, and the only change that happens next year is Le Cellier will be 2 for dinner, but that doesn't even go into effect until March.

Kouzzina - good choice if you like the menu.

Biergarten - good if you like German food

Akershus - good princess interaction and you get your photo will Belle included, so it's like a bonus freebie!

Boma - it will be easy peasy to get to Boma from AK. There will be a bus, and it is a very short ride. Just be sure to get off on the Jambo House stop, not Kidani Village, which will be the first stop. If AK is already closed when you're done eating dinner just hop on a Hollywood Studios bus and walk to the Beach Club. You could do other transfer situations, but that one is probably easiest.

AK restaurants in general - I do see that on the 2011 brochure only Tusker House is listed as a TS. Yak & Yeti should be on that list, and most likely will be in the next few months.

Mama Melrose Fantasmic Package - yum! It's only 1 TS, and I haven't heard anything about that changing.

1900 Park Fare - it's a character meal, so a bonus for your daughter. While there are other options in MK/monorail resorts I wouldn't dissuade you from eating there.

DTD restaurants - the reason you don't see them on the 2011 brochure is that they are not owned by Disney, so they have to negotiate each year to be on the Dining Plan. Most likely, if something was on 2010's dining plan, it will be on 2011's. All of that will transpire over the next two months.

Finally, but don't forget you can get 1% back from Mouse Unlimited, including reservations made with a PIN. We will also transfer your reservation so you can still get 1% back if you've already made the reservation
