Sounds wonderful ! The Wave isn't for any thing special, we have a ressie for Crystal Palace and we ate at Liberty Tree in March, we also have ressies for Ds at chef Mickeys later in the week. It was mostly by default I guess ( boy, my typing is bad) I heard that they do away with the fillet during free dining though.

A lot of things mysteriously disappear during free dining. Le cellier used to offer filet + lobster all included on the dining plan... until Disney realised. Some steaks have been removed etc.

Still, Le cellier can be a lot of fun and is probably still the best single dining plan credit meal

Wave, just isnt great but it's not a disaster either. I'm a HUGE contemporary fan and I wanted something just a bit different from the truly excellent california grill. Well Wave *ISNT* that, nowhere close. I think of it more as a place you'd go to if you were staying at the resort, just got in from travelling and wanted something better than quick service but hadnt got any reservations

Keith, I'm glad you mentioned the Wave. I feel lately, like all I do is criticize Disney dining places. We were not pleased with the Wave either, and Herself's Mom had lunch there recently (MUCH easier to please than I) and she was unimpressed.

Boma is almost consistently good. You will have a wide variety of foods from which to choose, and honestly-if you don't like something, it's no big deal! They take it away. I've even seen some diners speak with a chef and get something specially prepared.

As Keith says, arrive early so you can enjoy the resort. The "Savannah comes alive after 5:00 pm." That's what a CM told me on our first visit there and it's true!!!

DH is not that picky, I on the other hand am quite picky. Like you I'm a fair cook and baker ( it comes from all those pesky kids of ours) and i agree, if I can make it better and healthier at home than thats where we'll have it! Disney however is a time that we're able to sit down and enjoy our meals together as a family and talk and relax. With Bens' work schedule and Tylers' sport and school schedule it has sadly become almost impossible. How is Kona cafe or the Grand Floridian Cafe?

Gasp, you mean that's not what the foodcourt is at Pop like DS Tyler thinks?! Fine cuisine indeed!

[Keith]

Actually the food court at the contemporary is arguably better than wave now! They've totally revamped it with electronic ordering and they do some wicked steak sandwiches

[Rosie0610]

I've heard some good things about the Wave and now some bad. Tinkfan please let us know how you feel when you come back. I'll be interested in dining here in November!

BTW: I recently ate at the Sushi Bar outside Kona Cafe. They serve the Kona menu and the sushi menu! It was great! No wait and we got to watch them make all the rolls!

[Mari]

wow!!

glad you got all the ressies you wanted!

We had dinner in DTD at Cap'n jacks... we really enjoyed it.. the clam chowder was superb... we sat on the bar side of the restaurant and had great views of DTD
