Disney World Dining Tip

February 17, 2010 · Posted in Dining · Comment 

I just booked our dining reservations for our trip in August 2010.  It makes me so excited to do this because I feel one step closer to our next trip.  If you have a trip coming up, you need to call and make advance dining reservations 180 days out from the start of your trip.  I called on day 179 and was surprised to find out that all the Fantasmic dinner packages for Mama Melrose’s for the night that I wanted was all sold out.  Well, I will keep trying back in case someone cancels.  If not, I guess I will be showing up and waiting an hour and half before the show.

If you are not on Disney Dining, here is another good tip.  Schedule your sit down meals for lunch instead of dinner.  They mostly serve the same items and you can save $5-$10 per person.  Most restaurants serve lunch from 11:00 to 3:00.  Go to www.allears.net and compare prices between lunch and dinner for your favorite restaurants.

Romantic Dining at Walt Disney World

February 14, 2010 · Posted in Dining, Uncategorized · Comment 

Happy Valentines Day everyone!!  Are you looking for a little romance on your next trip to Disney.  Here are my top 5 romantic places to eat at Disney World.  And yes 3 of the 5 are in the World showcase at Epcot.

1. Victoria and Alberts - Grand Floridian Resort & Spa

2. California Grill - Contemporary Resort

3. Tutto’s - Epcot Italy

4. Le Cellier - Epcot Canada

5. and last, but definitely not least.. San Angel Inn - Epcot Mexico.. I just love that Mexican atmosphere.

Ok here is a little lagniappe… I also find Cap’n Jacks at downtown disney to be romantic.  Get a seat next to the window overlooking the water.  I guess it is the southern girl in me that makes this place romantic to me.

Walt Disney World Space Mountain Changes

February 14, 2010 · Posted in Attractions · Comment 

If you are like me, a day at Magic Kingdom has to include the “three mountains”.  Well on our last trip in June 2009, we had to skip Space Mountain because as the cast members would say, it was going through a “Rehab”.  Well we are headed back to disney in August and I have been snooping around to see if there were any major changes made to Space Mountain.  I found a good article below that details some of the changes you will see when going on Space Mountain now…check it out.
