I'll be taking a 10 day trip with a few girl friends during food & wine so I expect most of our eating to be grazing but I would like to do one character breakfast and one reasonably priced great dinner. What would you recommend?

Breakfast I would recommend the Crystal Palace at MK. We love the Pooh and all his friends:mickey:

Reasonably priced great dinner:confused:?
I think I'd have to recommend a few places at Epcot. Coral Reef, Rose & Crown and Tutto Italia:cloud9:

Have fun deciding and have a great trip:number1:

What is your idea of reasonably priced? My wife and I love Artist Point and the California Grill. They're not Victoria & Albert's pricey, but they're also not Tony's Town Square.

I would say entrees in the low-mid 20s and maybe good appetizers to cut back on cost. I don't want anyone in the group to get too much sticker shock....although I know that won't be easy!

We did a bunch of appetizers and sat in the lounge area of "the Wave" in the contemporary. Really cool atmosphere in the lounge. Great appetizers to split and a wonderful drink menu!

My friends and I have enjoyed Narcoossee's (Grand Floridian) and Flying Fish (Boardwalk) when we do girls only trips.

Breakfast at Crystal Palace before the park opens is our must do character meal every trip.


I'll meet you at the Rainbow Bridge.

As someone who always goes to WDW on adults-only trips, usually during Food and Wine, might I suggest a bar crawl? Now, I'm not talking about pub crawls like they have in Philly around St. Patrick's Day ;). I am saying having a drink and appetizers at each of the resort lounges.

My sister and I will be doing the following tour next month-

  1. Take the boat from MK to Wilderness Lodge. Have a glass of wine and either the charcuterie plate or mussels to share in the Territory Lounge.
  2. Take the boat from Wilderness Lodge to the Contemporary. We are DVC members, so we are going to Top of the World lounge for a drink and the beef tenderloin sliders. You can substitute the Outer Rim or California Grill Lounge (if there is seating).
  3. Take monorail from the Contemporary to Grand Floridian. I know the Poly is before it, but we are staying at the Poly DVC so we want to end the night there. At GF, we are either going to go to Mizner's or walk over to Narcoossee's to see if one of our favorite bartenders, Sergio, is working. Both places have good appetizer menus
  4. Lastly, hop on the monorail to the Poly, or possible take the boat or just walk back. Trader Sam's will be open when we get there, so that is our destination. Have not seen their appetizer menu yet, but hoping for the sticky wings to be on there!

I would suggest the Cape May character buffet or Crystal Palace. Both have a lot to offer & neither are as chaotic as Chef Mickey or the princess Bfast in Norway. What about 'Ohano for dinner. All you can eat buffet with phenomenal view. We love Narcoosses but I am thinking that is over your forementioned price.

We like Ohana for breakfast. It's fun and the food is so good.

Have you considered the Fantasmic Dinner Package for dinner? That way you don't have to stand in a huge line to see the show.


I'll meet you at the Rainbow Bridge.
