FortWildernessFan 10 Posted May 24, 2013 Report Share Posted May 24, 2013 My wife and I went to Artist Point, at Wilderness Lodge, a couple of years ago for our anniversary dinner. We really enjoyed it. I highly recommend it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Family of Bears 98 Posted May 24, 2013 Report Share Posted May 24, 2013 Kouzzina at boardwalk. It's great and romantic. You can even get away with just an appetizer and splitting the sampler meal. That's what we do and it's a cheap date :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Family of Bears 98 Posted May 24, 2013 Report Share Posted May 24, 2013 Or Sanaa at animal lodge. That feels fancy but you can do the bread service and tandoori and its not too pricey. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Judy in Texas 150 Posted May 24, 2013 Report Share Posted May 24, 2013 A window table at House of Blues DTD. Casual, a good menu selection, nice view.How about a picnic supper at The Fort's Clementine Beach and then hang around for the fireworks and Electric Water Parade. A thermos of your favorite drinks. Maybe a few appetizers. A small bouquet of flowers. (I don't know how bad the bugs are that time of year.) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Judy in Texas 150 Posted May 24, 2013 Report Share Posted May 24, 2013 I liked my ideas so much I posted them twice. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lou... 3,118 Posted May 24, 2013 Report Share Posted May 24, 2013 Florida boy, really, you're going to go by the recommendations from the knuckleheads on here? Did you attend Florida public schools or something? Getting any sort of useable advice from Fiends is impossible.What, because someone you've never met says that they like a restaurant is enough for you. Snap out of it man.Make up your own mind and go to the official WDW website, not one of the blood sucking leech websites, and select a restaurant based on the price range, positive reviews, location, and type of food you like. Oh BTW, skip Judy's cheapo idea. You'll be sleeping on the couch for a week if you try that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CCIntrigue...aka Gwen 547 Posted May 24, 2013 Report Share Posted May 24, 2013 I liked Judy's idea! Especially if he does all the work putting a great picnic together -- no bologna sandwiches or pb&j! :rofl2: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Especially if he does all the work putting a great picnic together -- no bologna sandwiches or pb&j! :rofl2:Thank you Gwen. I like the small bouquet from the grocery store where the person has to take the time to pick out just the right one personally rather than pick up the phone (or worse, have the secretary make the call - do the shopping) and have a dozen roses delivered.The thought and the effort count. If they don't, you either are or you picked the wrong person. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CCIntrigue...aka Gwen 547 Posted May 24, 2013 Report Share Posted May 24, 2013 Okay, we have a hand-picked bouquet of flowers to start. I'll add a good Antipasto platter and a bottle of Rieseling. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lou... 3,118 Posted May 24, 2013 Report Share Posted May 24, 2013 Ok guys, here it is, and after they throw a pillow and blanket at you, tell your your wives that Judy and Gwen said that it was better than sending roses and taking them out for a night on the town. I'm assuming that this will work for anniversaries and mothers day too?So all you have to do is go to Walmart and pick out a few cheap flowers, a salad, take them home and impress the heck out of your wife.

Do it with love and sincerity and if she's worth her salt, she'll appreciate it. If you put on your "Lou Attitude" I hope you get your butt kicked.Now, if you take the $$ you would have spent and buy a new set of golf clubs or a new boat to spend the weekend at the lake with the guys, that's a whole 'nother story.

Now, if you take the $$ you would have spent and buy a new set of golf clubsI DON'T GOLF. or a new boat to spend the weekend at the lake with the guys, that's a whole 'nother story.THERE IS BRAIN EATING AMOEBA IN THE LAKES.

How did my suggestion of an Antipasto platter and a bottle of Rieseling turn into a salad? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lou... 3,118 Posted May 24, 2013 Report Share Posted May 24, 2013 How did my suggestion of an Antipasto platter and a bottle of Rieseling turn into a salad? OK, in addition to the salad, or as Gwen likes to call it, Antipasto, which is a salad with cold cuts, like that makes a big difference, add a bottle of cheap white wine.

CCIntrigue...aka Gwen 547 Posted May 24, 2013 Report Share Posted May 24, 2013 Antipasto isn't a salad in my neck of the woods. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lou... 3,118 Posted May 24, 2013 Report Share Posted May 24, 2013 Antipasto isn't a salad in my neck of the woods. I hope you're not going to tell me it's fried squirrel with grits or something like that? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
alexwyattmommy 181 Posted May 24, 2013 Report Share Posted May 24, 2013 Cheesy grits. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Starbuc71 162 Posted May 24, 2013 Report Share Posted May 24, 2013 Victoria and Alberts is the nicest and cheapest dinner at WDW. Go there Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Starbuc71 162 Posted May 24, 2013 Report Share Posted May 24, 2013 lol......... I hope you didn't believe my above post :rofl3: Seriously, after you find a nice place for dinner, Jellyrolls for some after diner drinks and entertainment can't be beat Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CCIntrigue...aka Gwen 547 Posted May 24, 2013 Report Share Posted May 24, 2013 I hope you're not going to tell me it's fried squirrel with grits or something like that? No, it's fried roadkill. :rofl2: Seriously, if I were making an antipasto platter I'd include imported prosciutto, hard salami, several types of marinated olives, a wheel of brie, several other types of cheese including gorgonzola, some veggies like marinated artichoke hearts or roasted peppers, and honeydew or cantaloupe. NO LETTUCE! Geez, I'm making myself hungry. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
flaboy1968 3 Posted May 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 Thank you for all the great ideas. I took Lou's advice and went to the Disney site and have picked out a few places and will decide when we get there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
flaboy1968 3 Posted May 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 I still might do the beach idea as a suprise one night anyway. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
