We are also thinking of returning to Coopers Hawk (last went many years ago, it's on Magical Dining this year so even better value). We also like Millers, Teak, Red Lobster, Cracker Barrell etc. Saltgrass might make it onto the list (don't eat meat so for the fish) as it's Landry's and somewhere new to try.

Thanks Mossyflossy 😁 There are so many fantastic restaurants that are part of Magical Dining, it would be well worth a visit to Cooper’s Hawk Winery for that price.

I love my Landry’s Card, there are some great restaurants attached to their Programme and it also seems that we have really similar taste in restaurants!

Disney’s Yacht Club.

Now I have really struggled with plans for whilst we are at Disney. 😬 I don’t know how well I will manage with Genie + (I am not very tech savvy) and as it will be at the end of our holiday, I’m not sure Cooper is going to manage early mornings. It means I have no idea when to make reservations as I don’t know when we will get to the parks or what ride times I will manage to get. First world problems right! 😂

I am aiming for a mix of Quick Service, Table Service and also Hotel lounges.

Baseline Taphouse, love the look of the charcuterie board and the pretzel.

ABC Commissary- Adam saw their buffalo chicken sandwich and hasn’t stopped talking about it. 😆

The Australia Booth at Epcot. I miss home so much (Australia) and I haven’t had a good lamington in over 5 years 😱 as our 2020 trip home was cancelled. This is totally on my list!

Homecoming’ has been reserved, we have eaten here before and the thigh high cheddar biscuits have our hearts!

Beaches and Cream is also reserved for Cooper’s birthday. We love the diner vibe and their sundaes are awesome!

Sanaa’ is also booked. Normally we pop to the bar and share the bread service but I wasn’t sure if that was still possible, so I made a reservation just in case. It is just soooo good. 😍

Liberty Tree Tavern has also been booked for the day we are going to MNSSHP. I think Adam wanted me to book this for the ooey gooey toffee cake, he loved it last time!

Geyser Point, thankfully no reservations required. We would love to try the Bison Burger and after seeing Abby’s (Goldia) recent post, it looks well worth the trip!

Yak and Yeti restaurant, thankfully we have a Landry’s Card, so if we can pop in without a reservation if we fancy it on the day. This is a new one for us.

The Boathouse at Disney Springs, I have a confession, the only reason I booked this is for The Duck Duck Razz cocktail. Thankfully the food is meant to be good too! 😆

Ale and Compass Lounge, this may be our second home 😂 food and cocktails look fab and it means that Cooper can relax in the room and we won’t be far.

If you have managed to stick with me this far then thank you! 💝 It’s so nice to see everyone with countdowns again! 🍾🥂🇺🇸 Xxx

I’m partial to a cocktail in a pineapple 🍍 and Adam is currently obsessed with an Old Fashioned. Cooper will most likely order a steak. 😂 You may notice a theme by the end of our trip!

We will no doubt be up early (well I will be and I will gently encourage the other two to get up!) then we can walk down to Denny’s for Breakfast. 😁

Where we will then pop back to the Hotel to meet Angelbabe (Debbie) to collect our mountains of shopping before driving down to Naples! 🤩

Oh Denny’s
YES 😋😋😋😋😋

Thanks Nicki, I’m trying to find the perfect balance of being spontaneous and also remembering that we are at Disney and that lots of places need ADR’s. I can’t wait to compare notes. 😍💖 xxx

Eeek, you'd be started! I so excited for you guys to get here. The Florida sunshine and all the cocktails are waiting for you! Just a dream away!

You should be fine at Yak and Yeti with the Landry card. I way over thoguht this and it was easy peasy

We are at LTT on Wednesday. I'll tell them to hold a barrel full of the ooey gooey toffee cake in reserve for Adam after we've had our fill it of course

You'll be fine with Genie+, I'm sure of it. I'm also the least techy person in the world and I'm getting by. I will do a Matrix style brain dump when we see you.

Oh and I suspect Kate and Cooper will get on like a house on fire, while completely ignoring each other on their phones. Kate has perfected the "oh I didn't hear you" this trip she loves her bed and is currently there while we are enjoying the pool. I'm happy enough to let her have some space, but Dave really feels she is missing out on the whole holiday experience. I guess he's so used to afternoon rain that he feels we need to make the most of uninterrupted pool time. Can you believe we've not had a spot of rain the whole time we've been here? Unheard of not to worry we are off to a water park tomorrow so it's a cast iron guarantee there will be rain

I hope you can enjoy the build up to travel day and get excited. I'm waiting for you xx

Edited to add - I forgot about the Geyser Point bison burger. I think I'm gonna get Paula, our server, to make a list of all the people who come here are seeing it in the trippie. I'll check with her next year when we come back
