Any suggestions? Is Monseiur Paul worth the money or should I just do food and wine? I’ve heard mixed reviews but I love French food.

Bring a ponch or a small 1 person umbrella. U could get rain… Usually afternoon, normally passes. U have a very relaxed schedule. U should do fine. Any showers will just help cool it off if anything. Just dress with “easy dry” clothes. I would love to do a solo trip to wdw and us. I hope u have a great time!

Wow!! Thats one heck of a trip. Ive been contemplating a solo trip myself and would love to add 2 days at Uni as well. Not sure I could swing the cost though.
Right off the back on day #1 you’re eating at Boma for breakfast, Sanaa for Lunch and then Jiko for dinner. I dont think id be able to move the next day hahaha.
I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you for good weather. One of the reasons why Im contemplating Feb/Mar for my solo trip. Dont care much about water parks or pools if its just me.

I went in February and had a great time. Only one rainy day and one sunny 80 degree pool day but great walking around weather in a light hoodie.
You’re right about the food! I’m going to TRY to control my portions but I want to try all these places and I have the dining plan for 2 days haha. I know I’m going to love them all.
Enjoy. DP makes it worth it then. Im looking forward to a more food oriented trip myself. Want to try all new experiences and the 3 @ AKL are all on my to do list. 
Wow! You have an amazing trip planned. Your dining choices are impressive–and there are a lot of them.

Do F&W. Monseiur Paul’s is not what it used to be / worth the money.
Ok thanks. I suspected that and by that point I might be done spending a lot on food. I’d hate to be disappointed and it gives me more flexibility my last Disney night.

I went to Monsieur Paul’s a couple of weeks ago. It was good but there are other restaurants I prefer.

I think I have decided to go to Bull and Bear instead of Monsieur Paul. I still have my reservation to decide the night before but I will have time to leave Epcot, bus to the Waldorf for 6:00 and bus back and make the 10pm illuminations.
Where do you get the bus to the Waldorf?
Waldorf has a private Mears bus that goes between Epcot and Waldorf. They have a schedule on their website.

I don’t know. I have to call to find out. I’ve never been to Epcot. I’d assume it is where all the buses pick up and drop offs are and look for the signage.
I think the bus stops are only for Disney buses but I could be wrong?
I called. It’s in the same area as the Disney buses but they have their own private space. Platform #25 at Epcot.
