I am having a little trouble trying to plan it all out so all of your expert inputs would be much appreciated. So the park hours are 9-11 everyday and we usually tend to avoid DL from 12-5 or so. And we will be in the park everyday. We are planning to eat at the following places: Vineyard Room (preferably for EP if its running), Blue Bayou (lunch), Napa Rose (probably dinner), Minnie + Friends, Ariel's Grotto, and we might possibly eating lunch at Club 33. Any suggestions of order, which restaurants not to miss, and things of that nature would be much appreciated. Thanks so much!

Originally Posted By LuLu Don't miss Napa Rose. I've heard Vineyard Room is good but haven't tried it. Blue Bayou is more for the experience / atmosphere than the food, tho I've heard mixed reviews lately. But, I'd wait for riverside seating there (for the best experience). I've heard the Club has some type of buffet in addition to your lunch entree. The Club would be a must if your friends are really into DL history.

Blue Bayou is always a must for us but, yes, we enjoy going for an early lunch so we can get riverside seating. I am not sure about whether we for sure get to go to Club 33, cross my fingers!
