Help us choose our 1st night dinner/activity!

**WishUponAStar** · 08-13-2006

This Friday evening we will be arriving into MCO at 4:45 pm, boarding our Magical Express bus to Boardwalk, checking in and at that point I think we will be so H-U-N-G-R-Y!!!! So our options are located in the poll, what do you think we should do for the evening?

PS: if we arrive at MCO at 4:45pm, what time would YOU estimate we can hit the road running after checking-in and dropping our bags REAL FAST? hehehe.

It might affect your answer to know; we have annual passes so going into a park won't matter, the dining plan won't be effetive until the next day when we re-check in for our DVC reservations so we are paying for dinner cash, and ummm I am sure we will be SUPER hungry!!!

The Big River Grille and Brewery.We ate there in October. The food and service was magnificent.

**cinderbella** · 08-13-2006

Beaches and Cream sounds like so much fun! Although, the first night is always the hardest to tell..I always make Dave go to DTD and then 30 minutes after we get there we are soooooooo sleepy we always turn around and go right back to the hotel...so my real answer is wing it...and see what you really feel like in that moment!

Erin · 08-13-2006

Big River Grille, or Boardwalk/Spoodles - whatever makes it so you don't have to change into your swimsuit! That might take too long, and you'll be too sleepy!

**Dana** · 08-13-2006

beaches and cream.

PhilliesFan · 08-13-2006

Ditto on Beaches and Cream. After a long day of getting to the airport and flying, I always found it relaxing to just grab a quick meal and then chill by the pool.

ingamba · 08-13-2006

Jess, at first I was going to suggest Beaches and Cream, which I've been to once and really liked a lot. But thinking about your suggestions, for some reason right now I'm leaning towards Big River Grille.

Who knows, it could only be because right now I'm really in the mood for a cold one.

PrincessPooh · 08-13-2006

I like the idea of a little r&r before getting park commando. I think beaches and cream with a little pool time sounds just right!

**WishUponAStar** · 08-13-2006

Does anyone think Beaches & Cream will be overly busy on a Friday night?!!? It will most likely be prime dinner time, like between 6:45-7:30 sometime when we get there.

**BDavis932** · 08-13-2006

I would jump right in to the Disney Magic and hit EPCoT! My fav fast food there is in Japan Udon noodles and tempra shrimp! Yummy! Then grab a spot near international gateway for Illuminations and sneak out the back right when the fireworks are over. Then you could still hit the pool or go back to your room and turn in early.

**BDavis932** · 08-13-2006

by the way, you should get to your resort by 5:45 and bags in room by 6:15. you could be in epcot by 7:00, easy!!

jk8 · 08-13-2006

I voted for Spoodles Pizza window only because it sounds like it will be quick for you. Beaches and Cream would probably be quite a wait.

mickaholic4077 · 08-13-2006

I said Beaches and Cream because if you're really hungry,you can have the kitchen sink!!!

gingita · 08-13-2006

Big River Grille! After flying and dealing with airports, you will definitely want some good brews with the dinner.

diisneygeek · 08-14-2006

"eat at "Beaches & Cream" & go swimming at the BWV pool" sounds really fun!
