    We may have to make some last minute tentative dinner reservation for family members that may possibly join us. This is for June.

    We've already made reservations at Kouzzina, Teppan Edo, and O'hana (Best Friends Breakfast). The restaurant doesn't have to be inside any of the parks and doesn't have to be a character meal. It simply has to be on property. Preferably not too dressy.

    We'd also prefer to eat somewhere we haven't eaten before. So basically any place but these: Chef Mickeys (eaten there for breakfast and dinner not that reservations are available right now anyway ), O'hana (for dinner), Coral Reef, Grand Floridian Cafe, Boma, and The Castle (for lunch, again not that we could get in this late in the game anyway).

    No trips currently booked but planning on a first time trip without the family to F&W this fall and DD's Eight Grade end of year trip summer 2014.

    How about Sanaa? I think it's enough off the beaten track that you'd be able to get an ADR for lunch. It's new and I've heard good things about it.

    We have a June trip as well, and I'm considering Sanaa for a spur of the moment meal. I think we might get a member discount there too!

    Sanaa does sound incredible. My husband has been looking at their menu and really wants to try it. Definitely adding to my list of possibilities.

    I'll be checking out the menus this evening. Thanks for the suggestions. If you think of anymore keep 'em coming.

    If you're in the MK area I highly recommend Kona Cafe in the Polynesian resort. If you can time your ressies so you can see the fireworks and/or electrical water pageant from the Poly beach before or afterwards that's even better. (Just to clarify,you cannot see either from the restaurant itself)

    I think Kona is one of WDW's best restaurants, and you can usually get a let minute ressie there.

    How about the Wave?
    Next to Disney, my favorite thing to do!



    If you fail to prepare, you prepare to fail.

    Kona's ressies are much harder to come by now, Mar. I think our secret is out on how great this restaurant is.
    You might want to try The Wave. This restaurant is great, but usually has some availablity. Also Restaurant Marakesh in Epcot tends to have openings.
    But, I'm telling you, it is harder and harder to get those reservations now.

    We tried Whispering Canyon Cafe but it was full. However the beautiful Disney Dining page gave us a few options and we went with The Wave.

    Thanks again for all of the suggestions. They're all going on the list of places to try on our next visit.

    Biergarten is at the top of that list. With Sanaa a close second.
