Zazu wrote:The restaurants I would recommend for first-time guests on a budget include (in no particular order):
Boma
Prime Time Cafe
Crystal Palace
Sand Trap Bar & Grill
Trail's End
Whispering Canyon
Kona Cafe
Sci-Fi Dine-in Theater (but only for dessert)
Tony's Town Square
Tangierine Cafe
Cape May Cafe
Mama Melrose's
But I'd still like to consider the Hoop-De-Doo Review. Half price seats for the 9:30 show!
I'd definately put in another vote for Prime Time Cafe. That was probably my most memorable meal ever in the parks. We had a fantastic waitress and a great table next to us. The trouble we got into... :twisted:

Hoop and Whispering Canyon are similar theming (western)so I would pick one or the other and since there is a sort of budget for this, I would go for WC and while they are there they can take a tour of the lodge and even head over to where Walt's train is on Display.
How about OHANA for Dinner. The food is more varied there then at WC plus seeing the fireworks was SOOOOOO COOOOL.
HMMMM...other things to do. More exploring the other resorts, DTD -adventurer's club, Boardwalk in the evening with an ice cream over at Beaches and Cream. (KITCHEN SINK BABY!) Rent a surrey bike to take a ride around in at the resorts that have them. Play mini-golf. Water mice, take a ride around the waters. Day trip to Univeral....LMAO (kidding ppl) There is also some Orlando stuff if that is an option, or are they going to be pretty much just staying on property.

As far as the order into which we go into the parks, I'm thinking Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Studios and Animal.
Oh sounds like a good order, maybe more then one day at Epcot and the MK would be good tho. Breakup the days kinda thing. ???

I agree, the MK and Epcot are both to large to do in one day.
Around here, however, we don’t look backwards for very long.
We keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things, because we're curious…
and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.

I was thinking too that a break/no park day between the MK and Epcot days oughta be good. They have a lot of hoofing it ground in both of them. Maybe one day focus on World Showcase and the fireworks and the other day Future World and a special tour.

Still thinking (smell the smoke?) What about some sort of get together where everyone can play some games or some sort of other relaxing type thing at the pool or a meeting place indoors.

Ooh! Good call! Maybe Behind the Seeds as it's inexpensive and cool enough that some people have done it multiple times!
Edited to add: I'm a huge fan of doing the parks in the order they were created....

It is good timing on the Behind the Seeds tour too since the Flower Festival doesnt start till the 14th you wont get all the gardener enthusiasts booking it up.

Now that !900 Park Fare has the Tremaine family as characters, how fun would it be to have dinner there and mess with A & D a bit. I saw a clip on youtube of Anastasia singing...OH MY GOD! Too funny. Lady T came over and said something to the effect of "what have I told you about your voice" TOO FUNNY. Imagine how the comments would fly with the bubble ladies at the table and them being twins besides.
Regardless, y'all have to set up some sort of meet and greet with the Tremaines and Cindy at the same time. I wanna be there for that one tho. **Vix wonders if Cindy would haul off and slug one of the steps. LOL

We had fun with the Tremaine family, too. I can't remember who was who, but one sister kept crawling under people's tables while wearing her Victorian gown (I don't know what she was looking for). Lady Tremaine and the other stepsister came to our table and I told SS that people would be nicer to her if she wasn't so mean to everyone, and she burst into tears!
Her mother made me apologize and there was an instant transformation back into her old (bratty) self. They really stayed in character through the whole meal and we got some great pictures and video.
