My Table-Service Dining Reservations

Not sure why you'd want to read this, but they, I get to post trivial stuff like this because its my blog! :)

We don't normally plan our sit-down meals this much on our visits to WDW. Usually, we'd have maybe 1, or 2 dinners already planned and reservations made for the whole week's stay. The rest of the time, we play it by ear. However, since we're doing the Disney Dining Plan on this trip and we want to make sure we get to use our table-service plan, we decided to try and make reservations for almost every night that we're there. We still have one table service plan that we don't have any plans yet, but we thought it might be a good idea to have one "floating" in case we need it.

So anyway, here are our table service reservations for our whole stay:

May 28 - Garden Grill, Epcot.
May 30 - Donald's Breakfastosaurus, Animal Kingdom.
May 31 - Marakesh, Epcot.
June 1 - Boma (of course!), Animal Kingdom Lodge.
June 2 - Crystal Palace, Magic Kingdom.

We'd probably use our last table service plan on our last day, which is June 3rd, somewhere at Epcot because that's where we plan to be for most of the day before we leave for the airport. Still, I think we'll decide this early in the week after we're there.

Speaking of Donald breakfastosaurus, I guess the rumors from months ago of Tusker House changing into a character buffet will come true. This is reported from Laughing Place:

Tusker House to Become a Buffet
Tusker House Restaurant at Disney's Animal Kingdom is being converted to a buffet restaurant. It will offer a character breakfast buffet, called Donald's Safari Breakfast, and a lunch/dinner buffet. It will be open from 8 a.m. - 10:30 a.m. for the character breakfast and 11:30 a.m. until park close for the lunch/dinner buffet. The restaurant will accept reservation. To accomplish the conversion, Tusker House will be closed from August 20 until November 17th. During the rehab the Safair Celebration Dinner Grand Gathering experience wiill not take place. The new character breakfast will replace Donald's Breakfastosaurus which will not be offered after November 5th.

I guess it was good timing that we're doing the Breakfastosaurus now. We've never done it before, although we have done character breakfast at Cape May at the Disney's Beach Club, and Chef Mickey breakfast at the Contemporary. It would be sad to see Tusker House being changed, because other than Flame Tree BBQ, this was our other favorite place to eat at Animal Kingdom. I suppose it is inevitable, since other than a non-Disney owned Rainforest Cafe, there's no table service restaurant at Animal Kingdom for lunch/dinner. Now they not only have that, but also a character dining.
