Question Need Suggestions for Adult-Only Dinner

OK, all of you WDW experts:

I hope this is the right place to ask this....

So, we are going to WDW with a group of friends. It is the first trip to WDW for everyone. One of the evenings, we would like to give the older teenagers the opportunity to babysit the younger siblings ....so the adults could all go out to a nice dinner.

Do you have any suggestions? We want to stay close to the hotel, even though the older kids are very responsible, etc. We just want to be within walking distance. We will be staying at the BWI.

Thanks!

If you want to stay within walking distance your best bet would be either Spoodles or the Flying Fish. I have had great meals at both of them. Spoodles is a little more casual (and less expensive) than Flying Fish. If it's just the adults I would go to Flying Fish. It's Yummy!

We haven't decided on that yet. We are just not sure. I have been reading all about it today on this website. Would being on the Plan make a difference as to where we should go? Would it matter if just my DH and I had the plan and the others in our group did not?

marisag, I will put the Flying Fish on our list. I looked at some of the menu items and it seems like there is a pretty good variety, especially if you like seafood. I think most of the adults in our group do....I will have to see. Thanks for the suggestion.

We've never eaten at Flying Fish but I agree that it or Spoodles are your best choices if you want to stay close to the hotel...
How close is "close"? You could walk in the back entrance to Epcot and have a nice meal in one of the countries in that area... Le Cellier, Chefs de France...

Or you could walk over to the BC/YC and try the Yachtsman...

Check the menus at Spoodles, Flying Fish, and Yachtsman, get the "decision maker" from the other couples to do the same and then make a group decision. Where ever you decide you will have a wonderful time.

I'd skip Spoodles for an Adults Only meal. Go for the Flying Fish or the International Gateway into Epcot!!! It's a short walk from the BWI to Epcot over the bridge. OR How about the Yachtsman Steakhouse at the Yacht Club? I agree, check out the menus with the other couple on allears.net!

I would go for either the Flying Fish Cafe or the Yachtsman Steakhouse. Both are excellent.

Thanks everyone! I looked at the menus and those spots sound great. I think it will be between the Flying Fish and the Yachtsman. I will suggest those two and see what everyone else thinks.

BTW, where is Shula's? I can't find it anywhere on the boardwalk. Is it in Epcot? Is that like the Coach Shula's resteraunt or is it something else?

Shula's is in the Dolphin across the lake from the Boardwalk. It is an upscale chain steak house themed after the undefeated Miami Dolphins season. Its owned by Don Shula, although his son now runs the company. If you need more info about Shula's . . . let me know I work at the one in New Orleans.

Ohhh, I think the guys might like that option.... Is it more fancy than the ESPN Zone? Does it have lots of memorabilia? Thanks!
