Sunday 9/27: 4:30 Turf Grill Again
It was sort of an On The Fly mess for some of these places. Oddly, LeCellier was easy to get but Tony's Town Square & Mama Melrose were not
There were no Fantasmic packages left for Mama's any night we were there, and the only ressies for Mama's were lunch. According to the CM Sandy spoke with there are only a few Fantasmic shows during the time we are there. She suggested just coming over one night and trying to get in regular admission. ** we had that "special" reserved seating last year and it was nothing special.
Garden Grill and Liberty Tree were both panic choices. Neither was in our original setup but when pressed for something that's all we could come up with.
The second Turf stop was also a product of so many restaurant ressies booked that (O'Hana's) was another with no dinner & just lunch available. Whispering Canyon was another place we like but left it off this year because we had done it 3 years in a row and wanted something different.
It was really strange. I expected issues with LeCellier & Tutto but we got those with no issues but it seemed a lot of other less popular eateries were booked to the gills or just had unfavorable time slots.
