Some of the people I met while on vacation in December had flown Air Tahiti Nui (and Air Tahiti, but not Nui is the only way to island-hop) from LAX to Tahiti and had no complaints about it. If they fly the same route as Air France, good luck getting off in LA and not 'deciding' to stay on the plane to continue on to Tahiti! (Air France does Paris - LAX - Tahiti and back)

just wanted to pop in and say congrats, its a wonderful trip, were there 7 days like you, and its hard to see everything. Have fun, take lots of pictures..

Gah! 2 weeks away!!!

In the spirit of people reviving old threads...I'm reviving an old thread

So I just thought of something to ask about that we probably should have been looking into a while ago. Dining at the resort. What's good, what's not so good, what's quick and good, what will we need/want reservations for, and are we too late for reservations?

I'm sure most of our meals will be of the quick, easy, and as inexpensive (hah!) as we can get variety while we're at the resort. But, I'm also sure that we'll want one high calibur Disney dining experience. So, what's the one can't be missed dining experience?

Discuss.

It's all my fault! First I kill threads, then I utterly derail them with as much carnage as possible, then I ressurect them from the dead! Mwahahahaha!

I have no Disney Paris recommendations. But just the thought of Disney + Parisian chefs has me super jealous. If I was going, I'd want to check out "Auberge de Cendrillon" and their Pirates restaurant. And March Hare Refreshments.

California Grill at the DLH. It is the absolute best restaurant at the resort. It is neither Californian nor particularry grill-like. It is just incredibly presented and delicious neuvo French food. Yum

The Fish and Chips at Toad Hall are great.

Popcorn is yummy.

Ice Cream on MS in flavors such as Apple is a must have

I've eaten at a bunch of others, but don't want to review them all. Let me know if there is anything you are particularly interested in and I'll let you know how it was.

Too bad we don't have GSM cell phones. We could call you to consult before very meal.

Not Afraid · 10-07-2005, 03:39 PM

Ummmmmm, I might be sleeping when you do and then I'd just be pissed and send you to the worst place I could think of.

Oh, and GSM phones were a GODSEND on our trip. When we split up, I'd just call ISM and hook back up with them. I also could talk VERY LOUDLY on the Metro.

Have a wonderful, swonderful time, you two!

Ghoulish Delight · 10-07-2005, 04:05 PM

Yeah, we'll be "roughing it" sans cell phone. We survived it in Italy. Of course, when we went to Italy we had never owned a cell to begin with, so we weren't missing anything. But still, with just the two of us, we won't be donig much splitting up. I'll have my laptop and our hotel in Paris has wireless, so we'll have state-side communication that way.

California Grill is definately an extravagant treat - though you can skip the €300 Bottle Champagne to cut a corner or two

. Great view of the castle at night, elegant dining, yeah.

I'd also recommend at least checking out Walt's in the park, the themed dining rooms (to each of the DLP lands) is something you'll want to see.

You absolutely need reservations. There are kiosks in the park where you can make them, it should be one of your first tasks. If you don't you'll be waiting long into the night to get something to eat - and that includes counter service. Meals are long a liesurely, accept that, relax, and enjoy your dinners.
