Where should I take DW for dinner on "Date Night" at WDW

[LORNADUCK 261]

It's a bit of a drive, but I'm thinking Yoder's in Sarasota might fit the bill.

I wish there was a up arrow, best pies in town, Lou you should try it sometime

No pie is worth a 4 hour round trip.

The trick is to come up with a "better" excuse for why you need to be there anyway.

Kind of like what I do when I say to Brian "Hey, we haven't seen the castle lighting ceremony yet, let's pop over to the Magic Kingdom for a bit"...and then make a bee line to Aloha Isle when we get there!

You are suggesting Aaron take his wife out for Dole Whip on their Date Night?

[Gots2pitt.. Jeff 64]

The Iron Horse!! I recommend the pork sandwich.

That would work for me!

Hey, sometimes it's the little (and delicious) things.

Thanks for the additional ideas and comic relief!

I have to say that I also recommend Flying Fish. And I like their steak better than Yachtsman. They have a fun bar, incredible food and top notch wait staff. It's loud in there though.

So here is the verdict.....I chose Rose & Crown for two reasons:

1. We have never dined there before

but the bigger reason is:

2. I splurged for Cinderella's Royal Table for a subsequent breakfast because DD has done nothing but talk about eating breakfast with princesses since we went to WDW last and saw all the girls in their outfits walking around near the castle......and she has yet to meet any princesses. Daddy wants DD to have her big chance. Daddy will probably also buy her a dress to wear to the breakfast too.....because Daddy turns to mush when DD is happy!

Don't think DS is being left out....he'll get his chance to fight Darth Vader too!

So anyway rather than spend extra money on La Cellier or Yachtsman......which were the two more expensive places I was trying to decide between.....I went a bit cheaper so DD could have her magic moment at CRT.

Thanks for all the input as it will be put to good use during future trips!!

Great choice, Aaron!

And if you are Costco members, they have awesome Disney Princess costumes now for $18.99. Compared to about $65 at Disney!

Or, you could do what INC did and sew it yourself, although it's pretty easy to spend $19 on fabric these days.

We are Costco members. Thanks for the tip Dave!!

I'm telling you, GAG! You could always get "lost" in River Country afterwards. First biker bar then river country.....oh the stories....

I wouldn't mind a mission into RC if a certain Dominican National was up for it.....but not with DW....she is scared of panthers.

:jumpforjoy I win :jumpforjoy and all because Daddy turns to mush!

Seriously, I hope you like. My favorite thing... Roasted Potatoes..... yum, yum, yum.

I know DH and I had a fabulous "date night" in January just walking around Epcot. Kids were with the grandparents and we didn't ride any rides but the one in Mexico...we walked, held hands, talked (without being interupted) and ate little snackies with drinks and grabbed a table by the Crepe cart in France and watched the fireworks. It was lovely!

[AC in A2......Aaron 693]

Well I will have to try those Nicki. Thanks for the heads up!

I wrote a review on the Rose and Crown somewhere on the site.

If you can, make the reservation for about 7:30, then politely ask for a table by the water. If it is possible you can watch Illuminations right from your table :)
