WDW, Disney Cruise, Disneyland Trip 2013

[KeithS]

Flights, accommodation and cruise are all confirmed, and I've linked it all to my Disney Online account. I never knew there was a whole online section once your WDW and Cruise reservation numbers come through, with tonnes of material to read and the ability to book all the extras - Della and I will start dining reservations this weekend as we are now just into the 180 day window. We really want to check out the new Be Our Guest restaurant in the Fantasyland expansion at Magic Kingdom.

I'm happy to take other dining suggestions from all you WDW experts out there!

wow awesome trip. You are up for such a great time. Cant wait to get over there myself next year again.

We really enjoyed the 50's Prime Time and Sci-Fi Dine In at Hollywood Studios. At EPCOT I loved the Rose & Crown, but there are so many other decent places there. The Tuska House lunch buffet is a highlight at AK as well. It is so different to the standard fare that other buffets serve up. My favourite hamburger was at the Plaza Restaurant in MK. The best view in my mind of anywhere and at dusk the colours on the castle are just incredible.

I am sure other have many more suggestions.

Thanks Anthony - we enjoyed 50's Prime Time during the World Tour, it was a fun night. Haven't tried Sci-Fi Dine In, so may have to add it this time. I've downloaded 130 menus from the WDW site (and that was just for the restaurant that had them available - there were heaps that didn't!) so we'll take a look today and start booking.

So I am 150 days out from departure.

We have some restaurants booked, including the new Be Our Guest restaurant in the new Fantasyland.

I'd like some more advice though on tours - Gerard, which was the safari tour you took that you recommended? And was the Segway tour at Epcot good? Do you know how far in advance you can book them? Any guided tour information will be greatly appreciated

I think Colin is ideal to get Segway tour advice. He's a regular! Hows the cruise stuff going Keith?

Thanks Anthony - I haven't seen Colin around in a while - hope he's still out there!

The cruise stuff is fine - booking for port adventures don't open until 7 January, so I have to wait. As it is a new itinerary, they still haven't announced what adventures will be available on our cruise, but they should be published in the next week or two.

Hi Keith
dont know how i missed this thread!

Dining suggestions: Akhusers just for the princess photos!, COral reef (amazing food and view), le chefs de france and of course la cellier. We also LOVED BOMA!!

Akhusers just for the princess photos!

I've managed to get a book for Cinderella Royal Table in the MK - so that's my Princess fix sorted

COral reef (amazing food and view)

Yep - we booked this too - Della has a thing for fish.

We also LOVED BOMA!!

I LOVED Boma when we went in 2006 and would kill to do it again, but Della's not a fan of African spices

Wow, what a trip!

Will be interested to hear what you think of AoA and POR as they're the two we are considering for our 2015 trip.

I am still here! Been a bit ballistic work wise, hopefully all finished in a few weeks ready for the next trip.

Segway tour I would do at Fort Wilderness, we always do the 11.30 tour and then wander around for the afternoon and finish with 4.30 dinner at Trails End Buffet.

We have done the one in Epcot, much prefer Fort Wilderness.

The tour takes you around the back of Wilderness Lodge. A small bit of video on Youtube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WfWDdiRiX6c Ignore the date on the video.

Hi Colin, thanks for the Segway tip. Not long before you guys head off again!

[ColinA]

Too close for comfort, almost wish I had another week up my sleeve. When you start working sat nights to get things it means the rush is on.

[KeithS]

Oooh!

I got a letter from Disney Cruise Line today thanking us for booking our first cruise and giving us details about booking port adventures etc. It is getting very exciting now

81 sleeps!
