The Most Popular Restaurant in Walt Disney World

Here is my opinion of the list...

1) I have gotten a reservation here every time I have tried as long as I am 180 days out. Maybe I have been lucky but so far so good.

2) No comment here as we don't do character meals....well we did The Garden Grill one time

3) I completely agree but Victoria & Albert's is ABSOLUTELY worth it. As for California Grill, the only time I have been there was with a large group and we had no problem getting a table.

4) It is difficult to get so just be flexible with the day you are looking for.

5) The one time we wanted to eat at 'Ohana, we got the time we wanted and the table we wanted but that was 6 years ago. I was told then that if we wanted a window seat for the fireworks to arrive about an hour before your reservation time which allows them time to get your table for you. We did that (as it was for my birthday) and within 20 minutes, they called us to the table. Again for California Grill, we have only been there one time (but had been there when it was called Top of The World) and probably won't go back. It was too loud for the experience we were expecting. As for the fireworks, even if you aren't dining during the exact time of the fireworks and as long as you dining there during that day, they will allow you back up to view the fireworks from the balacony or lounge. That is what we did as we got done dining about 45 minutes to the fireworks happening.

1) BoG does not do much for our family...we much prefer Ohana for dinner

2) Character Meals
Totally agree with these:
•Chef Mickey's
•Cinderella's Royal Table
As much as we love Pooh Bear we are not blown away by:
•Crystal Palace
We love Garden Grill, but not as much for the characters. The one I am shocked that's missing is the Tusker House Breakfast - it is always amazing!


3) Premium Dining Experience
These are TBD - once my wife and I get a few solo trips we will be knocking these off, but currently our trips are to keep the whole family happy, and my son is not a foodie.


4) Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue
On our list, but it has to be better than the Spirit of Aloha - we liked it but were not blown away like we had hoped.

5) Popular Fireworks Dining Experience
Ohana! Love the Poly, food and view!

Although truth be told- I do not equate fireworks with a meal -
Drinks in the Top of the World Lounge -Yes
S'mores on the Poly Beach -Yes
Drinks on the Patio of my Lakeview room at the Poly - Yes
Fine dining and explosions - not the best of matches (at least to us).

1. 'Ohana - Dinner

2. Character Meals:
Chef Mickey's
Tusker House
The Garden Grill (just love Chip 'n Dale!)

3. Premium Dining:
Narcoosee's
Jiko-The Cooking Place

4. Hoop-Dee-Doo is a blast

5. Fireworks Dining Experience:
'Ohana (24-7...love it!)
Narcoosee's

Briar yet AGAIN you seem to mirror my ideas.....we probably HAVE been at the same places at the same time and not even known!
