Not On Dining Plan - Any ADRS That You'd Suggest

[Scaramouche]

Via Napoli for us. It’s a must even if we’re on the QS and have to pay for it. Absolutely LOVE it.

Teppan Edo will also now be on our list going forward as we enjoyed it there last year .

I'm usually not on the dining plan. My absolute must-do these days is brunch at California Grill (it's the only ADR I've booked for my upcoming trip so far) - it's a signature though so prices will be higher!

Other places I've been to that I'll happily go back to (not on dining plan) would include
Garden Grill - some of the best character interaction ever, food was OK
Kona Cafe - thinking of going back again this trip
Sanaa - cool animals (though some construction ongoing now) and bread service is yummy!

Places that I'm thinking of trying on upcoming trip (which would be OOP) include
Boma
Art Smith's homecoming
Yak and yeti
Jiko
Le cellier
Liberty Tree Tavern
Akershus
The Boathouse

Nine dragons and spice road table are good ones to pay for at Epcot.

Nomad lounge for small plates at AK. Yak and Yeti.

Skippers at MK.

We really liked the big meat and cheese plate at wine bar George and paid oop for that.

I really like Tuskers and we paid for it at Christmas and it isn’t really worth the cost imo, happily do it on the dining plan.

Were not on a dining plan this year but have spent 2 nights at all Star Sports and currently at French Quarter. Didn’t book any ADRs in advance as just wanted to go with the flow. We ate at T Rex on Monday night - used fhe Landrys card and was seated in 5 mins. Last night we managed to get an adr for 7pm at Sanaa, one that is always on our list but never quite makes the final cut, and I’m so glad we decided to go, the food was lovely and it was such a relaxed environment. We will go to Yak and Yeti next week when back at AK, again no ADR as will use the Landrys card. We’ve really enjoyed being more flexible this trip, and not having to stick to anything, there’s been plenty of adrs available on the day if we have wanted to have a sit down.

We are not on the DDP; and have paid OOP for Raglan Road ( awful service and food); Tusker House - breakfast but booked late time so got lunch too - excellent; Sanaa - booked for the bread service and shared entree - fantastic!

Thanks. I had forgotten about 1900 Park Fare. Did this with DS and DD on our very first trip. Might be one to add into the mix.

Oh the pizzas at Via Napoli are lush. Another to consider. Thanks.

Thanks so much for this. Garden Grill I'm considering for breakfast after reading a Kenny The Prate article. We had lunch there several years ago and the characters were fab! Brunch at the Cali Grill I will definitely look into.

Thanks for the feedback on Tuskers. I'll look into the others you mention.

That's great about the Landrys card. We will do the same. Good to know that you've managed to get ADRs on the day. Thanks.

Thanks. What a shame you had such poor service and food at Raglan Rd. We've also had not great service there before but return as I love their "sod the stew". Hope that they still do it!
