Nervous to try new restaurants
Last June my family went to WDW for the first time. I chose all our dining places based on info from here and from some disney books. We were very pleased with all our choices. We ate at LeCellier (excellent-will go again), Liberty tree tavern, Crystal palace, and AK Restaurantosaurus. We are planning a trip next Jan. and I really don't want to eat at all the same places but I'm afraid to choose a place and not be happy with it. I'm also thinking since we've done three character meals last year we shouldn't next year.
But I hear Norways Princess buffet is good and Cinderella's castle must be really neat. It will be me, my DH, DS 15, and DD 9. So many choices I don't know what to do!!  Last edited by caln; 03-07-2006 at 01:05 AM. Reason: correct spelling |

Re: Nervous to try new restaurants
You tried some great stuff last time!
There are SO many great choices at WDW! I don't think you'll go wrong trying just a few more new places. YOu should keep 2 of your favorites that you already tried, and then add to the rest... :c)

Re: Nervous to try new restaurants
I know what you are saying, but there are tons more places just as good/better than where you went last time.
Don't be afraid to venture out. I'm sure you'll find it well worth it. LeCellier is one of thos eplace many people keeping going back to. We are going back there for the 3rd time this year. Erin made a great point to pick 2 favorites and try some other new places. Great idea!

Re: Nervous to try new restaurants
My suggesstion would be to make a list of "possible" restaurants you'd be interested in trying then look at the "reviews" section of Disney Central, which can be found off the front page. There you will find all the WDW restaurants and honest reviews from vacations. Have fun!

Re: Nervous to try new restaurants
I agree with everyone else, get out there and try some new places. And if DC didn't steer you wrong last time, trust us again this time! There are some great reviews and advice to be found here.
Good luck and Buon Appetito!

Re: Nervous to try new restaurants
I was going to write my thing here and then thought, what more can I add to Buzz's post? I could add Erin's.

Re: Nervous to try new restaurants
And really, this isn't something to stress about- just have fun! You know yourself- if you're adventurous, try new things. If you're a creature of habit, just do what you're comfortable with.

Re: Nervous to try new restaurants
Most of our restaurant choices are family favorites but each trip I try to add one new restaurant to our plan. Believe it or not, that restaurant usually ends up becoming another family favorite.

Re: Nervous to try new restaurants
We keep trying new places each trip and we have not been dissapointed yet. I would keep with the advice of everyone here. Go back to something you know you like and then step out and try something new. I am sure you will find a couple more new favorites!

Re: Nervous to try new restaurants
The Princess gig is a tough call. Your DD is the magic age for it, but DS is a bit past it. That being said, everyone should eat in the Castle at least once in their life.
See what the family is into. We will be doing the Lilo and Stitch - Ohana breakfast for the firs time this year. And it is based on reviews from our friends and those silly Yankee fans here at DC.

Re: Nervous to try new restaurants
Part of the reason we keep going back to Disney is that there are so many different things/places, that our vacation is never the same thing twice! So go be adventurous and try different things. It's all Disney. You really won't find anything that's truly bad.

Re: Nervous to try new restaurants
Thanks for all the info. I'll definitely keep my options open. I'm thinking O'hana's, Boma's and maybe Hoop dee doo sound good. We've been staying with restaurants in the parks because it just seems easier. I read that if you go to another resort that you have to take a bus to downtown then transfer. It seems like a pain. My kids can get impatient quickly waiting for buses, although we won't be there this time in a 90 degrees, humid, crowded season, so that will help. Does anyone know if the buses at POP go to the other resorts?
