Our ADR's for September

They sound awesome! For the Hollywood Studios days, 5 & 17--for one of the days, have you considered doing the Fantasmic! package at either Hollywood Brown Derby (which usually gets quite good reviews) or Mama Melrose's (which gets mixed reviews)? We have one at Mama Melrose's and despite the mixed reviews, we're hoping to have a good time there--we'll let you know after our May trip! You could also go off-property and try something at an Epcot-area resort, like the Boardwalk or Yacht/Beach Club

If you are eating out of Disney, we really like Bahama Breeze on the 535.

We love Il Mulino at the Swan for Italian.

I went to The Maya Grill many years ago, when Coronado Springs first opened. It was nice and I was planning to revisit. However, the review on The Disney Food Blog was average, so check it out before you book.

Everything else sounds great.

Maybe do counter service on your HS day. We have always liked backlot express. It is where we go for hot dog/burger type meal.

We enjoyed the food at Margartiaville on the City Walk when we were there (just had poor service but hopefully that was a fluke). It also was practically empty when we went there on a weekday around 11:30am but I'm sure it would be more lively around the dinner hour.

at Hollywood studios we always enjoy the Brown Derby very much and for a quick sandwich there is a litte cafe---I think it is called starring rolls that is right next to the Brown Derby that serves a great sandwich and pastry items. I did see where somebody suggested going to the boardwalk from Hollywood studios. It is a pleasant boat ride and you will find Kouzina there which is fabulous. I will be there in September and will be making my reservations tomorrow!! Have a fabulous time.

Wonderful plans!

Have you tried Sci-Fi Dine-in Theater at DHS? It gets mixed reviews, and I've had both good and mediocre meals there, but it would give you a feel for the old drive-in movie theaters that used to be everywhere here in the U.S. (Amazingly, we still have one just a few minutes from our home and another about an hour's drive away.)

Also, I can't recommend anyplace in Universal's City Walk, but Mythos in Islands of Adventure and Lombard's in Universal Studios are pretty good.

Evening Robyn have done the Fantasmic package at the Brown Derby and it did save money and it was great strolling through to the reserved seating. Although some people dont like the seats as it is off to one side but we enjoyed it. I ate at Mythos nearly 10 years ago and the food was fab back then, the reviews last year weren't that great. Ate at Bubba Gumps last year and that was fun, and you have just reminded me of the lost little boy in the ladies loo there!

You're going for 20 days!!!???
I am so jealous!

You must be self employed to be able to take all the long vacations. So jealous. Its even longer for us to travel to Florida.

Don't want to gloat but I have 33 and am carrying over 5 so 38 and the bank holidays the only reason I stay in the NHS!

Boo. I get 10. Hubby gets 30 plus Christmas to new years.

Those plans look great, i do have one suggestion though since you are going off property anyway we love the Black Angus steak house, always go when we have a car it is on 535, and very reasonable prices. as far as hollywood studio's goes if you don't mind a quick service i love the fairfax fare, ribs chicken gourmet hot dogs, it is really good

Happy ADR day for tomorrow, hope you get all the bookings you planned and don't forget to let us know

You have some of my favorites on there, especially the Kona Cafe! Yum!

Let us know what you were able to get!

Well done, now just have to wait for the trip report!

I'm jealous too but then I realise in 7 months Im going to be there for 4, then 4 months after that 4 days in DL, then a month after that 10 days in the world! So I'm pretty close on the Disney goodness scale over a 5 month period.
