Rate the following (1-5, five being the best!)
Food: 4
Service: 5
Atmosphere: 5
Okay for Children: Absolutely!
Okay for Couples: Yes!
Be Sure to Try: Breakfast pizza; quiche (awesome!). No made-to-order
omelettes
General tips: Okay - here is the deal. Do this ONLY if you are getting
the 8 a.m. ressies. I got this tip from the list and decided to try it out
this trip - this was a MAJOR plus. We were put into the park an hour before
it opened, and we finished eating right at 9 (park opening time) and we were
already inside the park and near attractions so we had a big leg up.
However - we were late for our ressies. Definitely add on 30 minutes travel
time to park, wait in line to get into AK (before it opens) and walk to the
restaurant, which is in DinoLand.
Also - this is a big plus - when we finished at 9 a.m., hubby ran to go ride
Everest and it had a 5 minute wait!!! He got 3 fastpasses for 30 mins later
(using our tix and 4 year old son's tix) and came back... while he was gone
I took both kids on Triceratop Spin and we rode it EIGHT times without
getting off! The kids loved it. We could've stayed on it, but I thought
they needed a rest. When he came back, I went on Primeval Whirl (again,
folks were riding it over and over without getting off) and he took the kids
on the Spin again and when I finished he rode Primeval Whirl. We then left
and went to Everest, and we took turns riding it to use the 3 fastpasses.
Then - we went to the Safari and got fastpasses for 30 minutes later...
waited in 20 minute line and rode it, then got out and went on again with
fastpasses.
At this time it was 11:45 a.m., and we decided to leave so the kids could
nap - as we were leaving we were facing TONS OF CROWDS COMING IN. So - the
moral here, is that because we did Restaurantosaurus, in like 3 hours we got
to ride Triceratops Spin like 10x, Expedition Everest 4x, Primeval Whirl 2x,
and Kilimanjaro Safaris 2x - and keep in mind that we have a 2 and a 4 year
old in tow. This is DEFINITELY the way to do AK in the future.
Extra Comments: Use DDE card to save 20% - we usually tip the amount saved
Extra Comments: They seat rooms at once, so you basically have to sit and
wait for your room to be seated

Okay for Children: Yes, what kid doesn't love the characters and the waiters
played all kinds of tricks on us.
Okay for Couples: Yes don't we all love the characters.
Not romantic but who needs a romantic breakfast?
Be Sure to Try: Everything was great and they even had crispy cream donuts.
YUM
General tips: Get seating first thing in the morning and then wait in line
for Dinosaur to be the first on. The first family gets a special tour and
their own vehicle while they tell the others waiting that they sent them in
to feed to the dinosaurs so they were not hungry when we got in. lol
TheMouseForLess tips: All you can eat and one of the least expensive breakfasts
with characters how can you get better than that.
Extra Comments: This is the one breakfast that we will do again on our next
trip.

General tips: We arrived before the park opened. It was a long walk
from the gate.
TheMouseForLess tips: I can't say enough about the Dining Plan. We are
a family that prefers sitting to eat and character meals. The
Dining Plan is the only way to go in this case!
Extra Comments: We stayed at Wilderness Lodge and it is a long bus
ride to Animal Kingdom. We were lucky enough to get a driver that
changed his route to take us directly there so we wouldn't be late.
Be sure to take the earliest but possible.

Be Sure to Try: they serve a tremendous amount of food there!
General tips: I made my ADR for 8am before the park opened. It worked out
great. We were done just as the park was opening.
TheMouseForLess tips: we used our DDE card there
Extra Comments: I felt the characters rushed through. There was not quality
time spent like at the other character meals we go to. They made me feel like
I was taking too long because I wanted to take a picture. But the food was
great and DH wants to eat here again on our next trip!
