DH and I will be there next week. Last min change, my brother and SIL who live in Orlando are joining us for dinner one night–our treat. They don’t have park tickets so it has to be at a resort or DS. We would need to use our 4 remaining deluxe dining plan credits since it’s the last night of our split stay and we had planned on a signature restaurant for the 2 of us already. So this would need to be a 1 credit TS for 4 of us. We’ve been with them to Boma, Ohana, Raglan Road and Wine Bar George on previous visits. Would prefer something new. Bonus points if it’s a “good use” of a TS credit. So many of the nicer restaurants are 2 credits.
Alternatively we could still go to Topolino’s like we planned, but pay for them OOP. I do have AP and DVC discounts. Normally we don’t go with them to Signature restaurants. I don’t want them to feel awkward when they see the prices and order the cheapest thing! Also, there’s no availability for 4 that night at Topolino’s right now. I could keep looking but I hate to show up with extra people.
Well… we are never disappointed at T-Rex, it’s not a signature res. but the food is very good! It’s a fun atmosphere too. And Chef Mickey’s in Contemporary at Brunch is really good because you have both breakfast and lunch buffet lines; of course all the characters are there.
I haven’t been myself, but I have heard wonderful things about the Wave if you want something in the MK area that would allow for catching some fireworks. You could even try for an early drink at California Grill Lounge to get a receipt and get back up there at the end of the evening.
Thanks for all the suggestions. There are so many TS I’d like to try. We’ve been over 20 times but don’t do that many TS meals, so there are a lot on my bucket list. I broke down and asked DH his opinion, haha, and he really wants to go to DS. Wolfgang Puck says that it’s Signature Dining, but I see some google evidence that people were only charged 1 TS credit. Anyone know for sure? That menu looks great.
I originally wanted to recommend something at The Boardwalk, but Flying Fish is Signature Dining. The Boardwalk area is just a great place to go and walk around while you are waiting for your reservation.
With that in mind, I think I would recommend The Edison at Disney Springs.
I’m not sure I would recommend Sanaa for dinner, it is a little more casual feeling than a dinner spot for two couples, plus being there for dinner feels like it loses the draw of seeing the animals during the day. Just my two cents.
