I along with lots of other people got up early this morning to make Candlelight Dining package reservation.
My son is singing in the 6:45 and the 8:15 show. I prefer going to the last show as that would be the last thing we do on our week long stay
Here is the dilemma. I got a 4:00 reservation with a 6:45 show at Napoli. Been told still need to be in line by 6 even with the dinning package. I also booked a 1:00 at Coral reef with the 8:15 show. would need to be in line at 7:30
We have never eaten at either restaurant.
I hear everyone talking about Napoli. And we do have reservations there on a day earlier in our trip. So we will have eaten there already in the week.
So here is my question: Is Coral Reef good enough in order to get the 8:15 show time I prefer or will I regret spending the money. I hear mixed reviews. I could not get the last show with Napoli as all the late times were already taken when I got on at 6:30 this morning I even called and the CM said no more 8:15 with Napoli regardless of meal time.
My son is singing in both of these shows so I would see him regardless. I just prefer to have more time between eating and the show as not to feel so rushed. But also don’t want to waste money on a bad meal.
Restaurants are so subjective that it’s hard to say. Our family loves Coral Reef, which we go to every trip. However, we will never go back to Napoli.
You know how much I hate to derail a thread…but the language you are using there is confusing. I mean, if one is one’s WORST enemy, does that make them a friend?
“As enemies go, he’s really bad at it. He keeps chatting with me and stuff!”
We enjoy Via Napoli, but more from a “we can buy 1 large pizza and feed 3 of us for less than $50” kind of meal. I can’t imagine eating anything other than pizza there (there are other Italian restaurants including Tutto Italia which would be better for a 3 course meal, in my opinion).
Coral Reef on the other hand, seems to be worth the upcharge for the Candlelight Processional. I had not eaten there since I was a child, and we did the CP package there last December. It was excellent. We had wonderful service and a fabulous table right next to the tank. We ate around 5 for the 8:15 show if I remember correctly. I was there with friends, and all 3 of us enjoyed it very much. I would go with Coral Reef and go to your preferred 8:15 show. I will see if I can post some pictures from my phone.
I have only had the pizza and house salad there. Both were good. I have never eaten at coral reef, but I want to say they serve shrimp and grits that a lot of liners seem to like.
Edit: just checked, shrimp and grits is on the menu at coral reef
Was about to add our vote for Coral Reef and then saw this. Enjoy! We have loved both our meals there. Delicious food in an interesting and relaxing setting.
I even called and the CM said no more 8:15 with Napoli regardless of meal time.
