Hello everyone! I'm Mykiah (age 15) and I'm in charge of helping my mom with ADR's for our upcoming June 2012 Walt Disney World/Universal Studios Vacation. Our vacation will last 15 days, 10 of which we will be spending in Walt Disney World. As of right now we have scheduled 5 ADR's for our vacation. The first reservation we made is for the third day of our vacation. This day also happens to be father's day, so we let my dad choose the meal for this day. My dad choose 50's Prime Time Cafe because of the comfort food, fun atmosphere, and our many family memories!

This photo was taken during our 2007 Walt Disney World vacation when my entire family was in Florida. We had a blast eating together. Our waiter was in character and had a few family members laughing until they cried! Below is the current lunch menu for 50's Prime Time:

The next dining reservation we schedued was for lunch 2 days later at Tusker House. The reasoning behind this reservation is actually partly because of my influence. I would consider my brother and I adventurous eaters...for the most part. My sister will pretty much eat anything you put in front of her. My mom and dad..not so much. This is why Tusker House took my siblings and I a little more convincing than other ADR's. The lunch menu includes an assortment African and American dishes. Below is a list of items included in the Lunch Buffet and a few pictures of the Buffet itself:
Lunch Buffet - Appetizers: Spicy South African preserves, Tabbouleh, Hummus and Baba Ghanoush, Endive/Apple/Walnut salad, Caesar salad, Mixed Greens salad, Tomato & Cucumber salad, Sliced Turkey/Ham/Cheese, Tunisian Couscous salad, Green bean & onion salad, Curried rice salad and Fresh fruit. Vegetarian Table: Marrakesh couscous, Vegetable samaosa, Spiced Tandoori Tofu, Jollaf rice, and Pearl couscous with sweet basil essence. Kids Selections: PB&J sandwich, Corn dog nuggets, Mac & Cheese, Corn medley, Chicken Drumsticks, Green beans, and Mashed potatoes. Adult Selections: Salmon filet, Root veggies, Seafood stew, Orzo pasta, green bean medley, Rotisserie chicken, potato wedges, mashed potatoes, Carved top sirloin and pork loin, Cape Malay curry chicken, and Basmati rice with almonds. Dessert Selections: Fruit cobbler, Warm banana-cinnamon bread pudding with vanilla sauce, and assorted pastries.




I'm super pumped to try some of the traditional African dishes and Brady will like the many vegetarian options! There's a 99.9% chane my dad's plate will come entirely from the kid's selections, but It's one meal that the rest of the family is really looking forward to! The third ADR we made is for dinner at the Plaza the following day. This reservation was made because we wanted at least one "sit down" meal at each park and we needed one for Magic Kingdom. The time we scheduled it for is around an hour later than we would normally eat, but we are planning to stay for fireworks this night because the following day is a break day, and It's a good way to pass the time. The Plaza is a fairly safe place to eat. They have burgers for dad, salads for me, and a veterian option for Brady.
