Originally Posted By LadyandtheTramp IMHO, the only true 5 star restaurant at WDW is Vic & Als. That was a meal - went there for an anniversary last year. Great service, great food (came away full even though each course was very small), and great wine selection. Downside, of course, was that it was over $200 for the two of us. Cali Grill, Jiko, Narcossee's, Flying Fish, the Bistro in France have always been top caliber, but not up to the 5 level. But lunch at the MK is very limited - we do as per the suggestion above, hop the monorail (or more likely one of the boats) and go to Concourse Steakhouse (though the menu has gotten smallish recently), Kona Cafe, or the Grand Floridian Cafe. For a different spin, take one of the boats over to Wilderness Lodge and eat at Whispering Canyon (if you can take the noise).

Originally Posted By crazyformickey I used the Disney Dining on my last trip and I did pay for it almost $900 for 2 adults and 2 children. Most of the places we ate were buffet. I did have a few sit down places and I tried to keep it reasonable but to be honest we ate at places we normally don't go to because of cost. The dining plan was worth it for me I didn't have to budget I knew what I had to pay at check-in and then I didn't have to worry the rest of the trip about money for food. For a family who KNOWS they want to eat only at WDW it is a great deal. We kept our receipts to make sure it was worth it for future trips I would say the total was well $1200 so we saved a few hundred bucks and still had 4 counter services on our card when we left.

Enjoy the personalities here and the opinions no matter what method of delivery people use. Half the fun of this board is dealing with the variety of temperments here. Enjoy the interaction, be yourself, and let everyone else be themselves.
Originally Posted By danyoung Sorry, demderedoseguys, but you weren't clued in to the subtext of my relationships with Spirit and TDLFAN. We all go back a ways, have had our ups and downs, and somehow have come out OK. I'd say Spirit & I are pretty good online friends, while TDLFAN and I enjoy a lively banter. I would even call him a friend, but I'm not sure what he'd call me back. And I do think that there is plenty of room for civility here in cyberspace. If you disagree with someone, you don't have to call them stupid or freak out at their idiot comments. I don't see any room for that, from me or anyone else. But I really dig a spirited debate, even one that gets a little hot from time to time. I've had many with Spirit and TDLFAN, and I look forward to many many more.

Dan ... I've been attacked on here for fighting back because of mean spirited attacks on memebrs because they choose to disagree.. I believe everyone has their opinion and it can get heated and that's fine.. but when it comes to berating people and name calling, that is NOT "a variety of temperments" that's just plain rude...
