GaDawgFan.....Kelly 799 Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 I can't decide what to do for Easter. I've asked Jason, and he's no help. Oh, Easter is also our official 12 year anniversary, but we're celebrating it just the 2 of us at CG a few days later. Here are our choices for Easter: Hoop Dee Doo ReviewPros:It's at the Fort, so makes the day easy. Plan for the day is a Fort day.I booked early, so we'll have good seats.It's always a good time, and it makes Z laugh until he snorts.Maybe a holiday twist? Cons:We've done it semi-recently. Raglan RoadPros:We've never eaten there and like to try new things.Jason is a fan of craft beer, and they seem to have the largest selection in DisneyMenu looks pretty goodCons:Not very Easter-likeConstruction at Downtown DisneyWe can't just drive the golf cart there.

twiceblessed....nacole 433 Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 I'd say go with something new... but the traffic at DTD makes me nervous for you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Family of Bears 98 Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 I was so anti DD during construction until this weekend. The parking garage is NOT BAD!!! Yay!! The little light up number things to show you how many spaces are available were awesome. The traffic kept moving to get in, we did not sit still. And the walk is really not bad. And I did this with a baby and a stroller. On the way out we saw the valet, and since you have TIW, that would be free. We didnt use it bc we couldn't find it at first. It was by la nouba. As far as easter, I bet they'll throw bunny ears on the dancers :)Tip: dancing starts earlier than band. If you want live music, make your ressie a little closer to 7. Dancing to iPod music starts at 5. Both good. Raglan is the best. Don't miss it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DaveInTN 3,247 Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 Since you'll be doing all the fun Fort activities during the day, I'd get cleaned up and bus it to DTD for a special evening. You HAVE to go to Raglan Road....I mean seriously, it is one of the reasons I may return to Disney at some point. Z will love dancing with the Irish dancers....and you will love watching it! It will seem more like a nice night out since you've already done the Hoop and will be at the Fort all day anyways. Just tell Jason.....BEER, fish and chips, BEER, more beer.....and BREAD PUDDING! C'mon. Just do it already. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
h2odivers...Ray 952 Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 Kelly your making this way more complicated than it needs to be. Solution. Ragland road for lunch. HDDR. For dinner. That's just how I roll. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 Another vote for Raglan here. Just take your time and don't sweat the transportation. :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Enjoy your Easter activities early in the day. then hop the bus around 5-ish and take a stroll through the Marketplace on your way to Raglan. :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
h2odivers...Ray 952 Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 Seriously. My vote is for RR. It's our favorite DTD restaurant. It has a great bar. Z will love the dancing. And the band is always good. I love the crock o pate. It's not for everyone but I love liver pate. But I disagree with Mo. I'd catch the bus around 4:00-4:30. You want to sit at the bar and have drink before dinner. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
momof3kids-Yvonne 596 Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 I vote Raglan Road. Now mind you I have never been there, but we need pictures of Z dancing there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I disagree with me too. Do what Ray said. ... we need pictures of Z dancing there. Yes! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Family of Bears 98 Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 Doesn't change my mind at all. Bus...even better. 545...enjoy your table and stay for the show at 7. Here's the deal though. Tables in the dancing room, stage room, main room, whatever you want to call it, are pretty much reserved for people with reservations. You have a reservation. When you check in, make sure you verbally tell them you'd like a table in that room. It's two different experiences and since you are planning ahead, you get experience #1. :)If you can push that reservation to later, like 630-645, that wouldn't be a bad idea. 7 is when things really get good. But 545 isn't bad. Just wait for a table in the main room and stay put for the show. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
