lesson learned: when in apac do not ask your client to take you to their favorite restaurant. wound up eating "turtle sex organ soup" and century eggs last night.
century eggs!!! lucky!!!
just be careful afterwards when eating, you don't want to pop out the clot and get dry socket. i had that and wouldn't wish it upon my worst enemy. hello katie! i hope this reaches you in time to make your adrs!! i just made my own dining reservations last week, and the night before i made a list of all the places i wanted to make adrs. from there i made another list showing which ones i wanted to ask for first. i started off with the most popular choices (crt, chef mickey's 'ohana, le cellier), even though a majority of these were planned for later in my vacation. i suggest always booking the most popular places first, even if you find yourself skipping around and not going in chronological order. i am happy to say that this worked for me and i was able to get most of the places for the times and dates i wanted. the cast member on the phone will follow your lead and look for the restaurants you ask for on the dates you give. they won't try to make you go in any certain order. good luck getting those adrs!! hi, tara! every doctor is different with regard to your post-op regimen. by four months, i was on regular food, but you still may want to talk to the chefs at the restaurants. once you've been gastrically altered, protein is your very best friend, so they may be able to adapt a meal to make it heavy on the proteins. i even had a chef make me a pasta dish without the pasta on one of my walt disney world trips post-op. for the most part, you should be able to browse the menu and find something, but if you don't see something you think you can safely eat, you can ask for something else. you'll learn once you have your surgery and start eating real food again that some things are more tolerable than others, and you will want to stick with the things you know you can eat. i speak from experience that it is no fun to try a new food on vacation and end up laying on a theme park bathroom floor until your stomach feels better! talk to your surgeon to make sure you know what his dos and donts are, browse the menus at allears.net to see what is typically on the menus at the restaurants you want to try, and go from there. i'm so excited to have a new neighbor in loserville! good luck with your upcoming surgery, and if you need me, i'm right here! hi amy - my daughter absolutely loves the princesses also. we've eaten at all three of those restaurants, and while we enjoyed all three, i'd have to say our overall favorites were cinderella's royal table (for the location) and akershus (for the food). if you do choose cinderella's royal table, keep in mind that it's an extremely popular restaurant, so you'll have to call right at the 90 day mark. in addition, choose breakfast or lunch (dinner is hosted by the fairy godmother and doesn't include the princesses). have a great vacation! hi abagayle! palo is my favorite restaurant of all time! please order the chocolate souffle and the panna cotta for dessert...you will love it! you can check your personal navigator, disney cruise line's daily newsletter to check for the times that the youth clubs take the kids to eat. if it coincides with your palo reservation then she will be taken to dine. i never took advantage of that during the dinner hours. i would take my kids upstairs (pool deck) before i had to get ready for palo and get them a meal there. this way, i would spend some time with them and i would make sure that they ate something. after that, they were off to their youth club for more fun! don't worry about her being hungry later on...you can always order room service at the end of the evening...it's included in the price of your fare and no one goes to sleep hungry! i hope this helps abagayle. have a wonderful trip! let me know if there is anything else i can do for you. thanks for visiting the moms panel. Um. That gal did not hold an “appointed” position. Nice try. holly: when i was there a few weeks ago and ate at the new sanaa restaurant located at the animal kingdom villas, the bus i rode from epcot stopped at both the villas and the lodge. in fact, i almost got off at the wrong stop, not realizing that sanaa was located at the villas.... so whether you're going to its lodge or the vacation villas, just look for the signs that say animal kingdom lodge/villas at the bus stop and you'll be good to go! (and make sure you listen to the bus driver so you get off at the right stop!) wishing y'all a magical vacation! whitney i didn't really know how to take it or what it meant but i certainly didn't assume what you've suggested! hi ashley! disney requests that all dietary restrictions be added to your dining reservation when they are made. if this has not been done then please do this before your arrival. when you are greeted by your wait staff at the restaurants please communicate this restriction to him/her at that time as well. never think the information has been successfully transmitted to the chef before your arrival as many things can happen that might not allow this to take place. the most important person to relate your information to will be your server at the restaurant. you will then be introduced to a chef who will take down all the information that is needed to prepare you a safe and allergy free meal. if you are wishing to eat at a quick service location anywhere on property please ask to speak to a manager and ask to see the menu's list of ingredients for each of the choices served. this will allow you to make good choices for yourself. disney is prepared to help all their guests with any sort of dietary restriction. please don't ever hesitate to ask questions to the chefs as they are there to prepare the best meal for your needs! last sunday i along with my friends decided to go to the riverside for a picnic. we planned to spend the whole day there, but an unfortunate event took place. we got an unknown call from somebody who introduced himself as our well-wisher. he cautioned us to avoid staying for a longer duration at the riverside for a picnic because there was a fear of a crocodile near the riverside. but, we were not sure whether it was a hoax or real news. nonetheless, there was no chance of taking a risk. hearing this news, we all became tensed and started looking for an alternative location for the picnic. but, we had already travelled for four hours to reach this destination and then the fear of crocodile was making us tremble with fear. all our excitement and happiness were reduced to zero and we couldn't think of anything better than keeping all our things back in the car and making our way towards our respective homes. therefore, the day which was supposed to be a happy and exciting one turned out to be a sheer waste for all of us and we all returned back with a sad face cursing the very presence of crocodile near the riverside.
