I have to agree with you. My goal is to dine in every restaurant on property.
I'm getting close to that goal, as I try to dine at one "new to me"
restaurant on each trip. I have a tendency to revisit my favorite
places, but I usually manage to squeeze something "new" in.
I also want to spend at least one night at each resort, and I
only have a few that I haven't stayed in at this point.
In May, my "new to me" place was Fresh at the Dolphin. I had
a nice breakfast there. Todd English's bluezoo will be on my
"new to me" plan for December, as I don't have any regular
meals planned for my November trip during the Food and Wine
Festival!
I still want to have sushi at Kimono's, but I never seem to manage
time for it. I've had sushi at Matsu No Ma Lounge and Wolfgang
Puck Cafe sushi bar, so one trip I'm sure I'll get to Kimono's.
There are certain places I just won't want to touch with a ten
foot....fork. Nine Dragons and Alfredo's both don't appeal to me.
The first because it's a rotten value, and the second because
it smelled funky when I went there for a cooking demo during
last year's F&WF. I thought the place smelled like "Eau de Wet
Dog". Ick.
I've been to most restaurants at the resorts, but there are a
couple of places at Downtown Disney I haven't dined in, either.
I realize that I also skip Planet Hollywood and Rainforest Cafe
simply because I don't want to eat at a restaurant on vacation
when I have that same restaurant chain available in Chicago!
I'm curious to which restaurants I have left!
Magic Kingdom:
Tony's Town Square
Plaza Restaurant
Epcot:
Tempura Kiku
(And I won't eat at Nine Dragons or Alfredo's, so I
won't count them!)
Disney-MGM Studios and Animal Kingdom: Done all the biggies!
(Rainforest exemption, though....won't eat there.)
Caribbean Beach:
Shutters
Contemporary:
Concourse Steakhouse
Coronado Springs:
Maya Grill
Dolphin:
Shula's Steakhouse
Todd English's bluezoo
Swan:
Kimono's (just gotta have sushi!)
Downtown Disney:
Fulton's Crabhouse
Cap'n Jacks (heard bad stuff about this place; might put it in the
same category as Nine Dragons and Alfredo's.)
And the chain restaurants.....exempt, won't eat there.
As for everything else, if it's not listed, I've eaten there.
Basically, since I mentally crossed off Cap'n Jack's, too....there are
10 on my list that I need to conquer. Cool.
