"Let There Be Food And They're Doing What To Alfredo's!?!"

This will probably be long. So if you want something to drink or need to use the bathroom, now would be a good time to get or do whatever. Ready? Good. Than here we go. As I said before I started reading with a pen and paper handy so I could take notes. I did however take the time to print off a calendar with the dates of my trip and look up the Extra Magic Hours schedule in the PassPorter and than proceeded to plot out what days I would be where at this time my plan was to take full advantage of all Extra Magic Hours after doing that I started reading. Since I had the bare bones of my trip dealt with I decided to start with dining. So I flipped to the dining section and started making a list of table service restaurants and their locations that, based on the description, I thought sounded good. There were some I knew I wanted to try without having to think or read much about them. Those were Boma, LeCellier, 50's Prime Time Cafe, and Sci Fi Dine In Theater, and Raglan Road so I had 5 of my 10 table service credits chosen and plugged them in to my calendar by location as I didn't want to be running all over WDW just for dinner. Now came the hard part. I needed to choose 5 more table service restaurants that fit with where I was going to be on the days I had left. After repeated viewings of the menus on AllEars and multiple readings of descriptions in my PassPorter I had my list of 10 restaurants. The list was as follows: L' Orinale Alfredo, Le Cellier, Restaurant Marrakesh, 50's Prime Time Cafe, Sci-Fi Dine In Theater, Raglan Road, Boma, Ohana, Whispering Canyon Cafe, and Kona Cafe and they fit in the days I had available on my calendar and would not have me going from the Magic Kingdom to Epcot just for dinner.. Whew! Got that figured out. Now I just had wait for June 10, 2007 so I could make my adr's. Well, that's what I thought anyway. What happened? Disney announced Alfredo's was closing permenantly. Arrrrgh!!!!!! I had to come up with another restaurant that fit with my plan. While I was attempting to come up with another restaurant (and quite unsuccessfully I might add), Disney went and changed the Extra Magic Hours Schedule and having heard nothing but great things about him I subscribed to Tour Guide Mike.

Thanks for the encouragement. Glad you're enjoying this.
