GaDawgFan.....Kelly 799 Posted October 18, 2014 Report Share Posted October 18, 2014 I just realized I haven't booked any character meals for our April trip, but I don't want any more ADRs than I already have and don't want to give up BOG, 'Ohana, Biergarten, or our anniversary dinner at CG to do a character meal. It just feels weird.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DaveInTN 3,247 Posted October 18, 2014 Report Share Posted October 18, 2014 I understand it might feel weird....but as you know, a character meal would cost as much as the dinners you already booked and have far inferior food. At least IMO. I bet you won't miss it, as long as Z gets some quality time with his future wives at the parks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jason and my dad have never eaten at `Ohana, and I know they'll love it. I'm excited to finally try CG. I'm not even sure I'll keep the BOG one, but I figure it's better to have and change my mind later. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted October 18, 2014 Report Share Posted October 18, 2014 Plus there are still fun things for Z at BOG and Ohana... BOG does have the Beast who pops in to say "howdy" and then has a photo opp in the library, and Ohana has the woman with the coconuts that leads the kids around and sings and dances with them. And yeah... the food will be better. :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DaveInTN 3,247 Posted October 18, 2014 Report Share Posted October 18, 2014 We're not doing Ohana on this next trip (I know INC is relieved LOL) but the dancing part was always fun so we'll miss that. But the little ones will get to dance at Biergarten. I did book one character meal though....I couldn't help myself. We're having breakfast at H&V. Anna is a HUGE Sofia fan and it's a surprise as the kids don't think we're doing any parks. I can't wait to see Anna's face when she sees Sofia. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

5kidsmommy 18 Posted October 18, 2014 Report Share Posted October 18, 2014 I really look forward to when I have less kids at home so we can do visit some of the awesome resort at WDW. Honestly we rarely do more than one sit down meal, it's just not in the budget when you are feeding 7 people. Anyhow I love reading all about the different restaurants and some day I look forward to eating at some of them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm just too OCD to give up the control. Booking at 180 days is the key. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Booking at 180 days is the key.I have the same problem with my vacations but I'm working on it. One thing is I'd hate to cancel a trip if Jason does all that work for me and sometimes 5 hat does happen. Yeah 180 days is key but sometimes I think disney just likes to mess things up and hold reservations for some reason. I was shocked I couldn't get an early Ohana this past time. And I guess Disney messed with BOG for that week since I wasn't the only one that had trouble. WBI Quote Link to post Share on other sites

As long as you book with me I will do anything I can to get what your looking for. Even 3 am BOG reservations if I happen to be awake.

That's one place I would eat at even if there were no characters.I used to LOVE eating at Akershus before they added the princesses. Very yummy, very nice atmosphere. When I heard the princesses were coming for all meals, I made a point to eat there and specifically told the manager I wouldn't be back. djsamuel 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GaDawgFan.....Kelly 799 Posted October 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2014 Now if they had a full time Star Wars character meal... then we'd be changing plans. I think they're really missing the boat on that. It would be super popular with boys and lots of men. 5kidsmommy 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

A beautiful unique dining venue marred by little "angels" in Bippity Boppity Brat outfits running around like little idgets.

You'll be the first one on the phone planning rezzies at BBB early enough so you can take pictures before you rush your princess to y'all's 12:10pm rezzies at Akerhaus. As your trying to figure out if her hair will stay for tomorrow's princess lunch at Cinderella Castle. And yes her hair will stay up. :rofl: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

A beautiful unique dining venue marred by little "angels" in Bippity Boppity Brat outfits running around like little idgets. (Yes, I don't have any little girls, I may change my tune however, if a granddaughter comes along). The princess thing is huge, huge, business so I can't blame them for taking full advantage of it and maximizing their return.Unless they came up with a brand new venue, there isn't another location with a theme that fits into the princess thing that wasn't already being used at Epcot. I don't have a problem with Disney converting Norway to the princess character meal as there are so many other restaurants at Epcot, but I do have 3 granddaughters and have also gone there with friends who have princesses. And with the addition of the Frozen theme, look out. Getting a rez there was doable and it's less expensive. A great alternative to the castle meal.I bet that changes significantly once the conversion is complete. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That would be INSANE....instantly the hardest ADR to get. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
