    I chuckled when the dress code was brought up and in the frame were at least 4 individuals wearing t-shirts sitting and seemingly enjoying their meal. I think this is a great thing to show, because the "dress code" feels more like a polished way of saying "just don't look like a scrub and you can come on in to eat."

    Narcoossee's was a 10/10 for us when we went last October! The food was outstanding, the service was top notch, and the view of the fireworks was really good as they pumped in the music for the show. We can't wait to go back!!!

The food was phenomenal, the characters were super rare as you'll not be able to see them anywhere else on property, never mind getting the chance to meet with them personally and the atmosphere is phenomenal!

    For context I am speaking of pre-pandemic days. Spent hours studying DFB (thank you DFB!!!) and overall had fantastic dining experiences. I was truly impressed by the food at Disney!!!! Jiko was one that I was really looking forward to but was actually one of our most disappointing meals. I found it to be too contrived with strange flavor pairings (I am an adventurous eater so I am up to try anything). Flying Fish, which consistently gets positive reviews but never top of the list was our BEST dining experience. The restaurant is absolutely gorgeous, modern and chic, heightened design and details. The food was exceptional. Premium ingredients and balanced flavors. Would go back in a heartbeat, but it was closed during our last trip to Disney just after re-opening. Have a trip coming up in a month and with so many new places to try, we are skipping Flying Fish again. Maybe better to stay in our memories forever as a great Disney dining experience...I am a bit reluctant to go back and be disappointed!

  • @DanCrowleyNYC
    @DanCrowleyNYC 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

    We did Victoria & Albert's on our mini-Honeymoon (main Honeymoon was Europe), and it was probably the best dining experience I've ever had. (We are also foodies, so there ya go.) I had never been pampered and waited on like that so exquisitely - we also did the wine pairing which just enhanced every course we had. For any other major food and wine lovers out there, it is worth every dollar! But so many of these top-tier restaurants are always worth the cost.

    The title of this video is definitely a misnomer. I expected a review of all the signature restaurants on property since the title is “most expensive restaurants,” but a good portion of the video is spent on lounges, plus it only covers the resort restaurants, leaving out the park signature ones which are also quite expensive. Good info but not what I was expecting at all.

    I think The Outer Rim Lounge has been there since the 70's, with its roots in the old Monorail Club Car, and predates the Concourse Steak House (around 1989) as we knew it by many years. (Comments made starting at the 6:00 mark)

    Cali Grill for fireworks view is awesome. As a restaurant alone it’s not even our top 5 anymore. There’s so many great restaurants that have opened up in the last 3-5 years. Steakhouse 71 and Cali grill is more expensive than Artists Point as well. You aren’t getting appetizer entree and dessert for $60 at those places and our steak at artists point was better than 71. We were not impressed with 71.

    Was Toledo left out of this video on purpose? It's a nicer restaurant, which would fit in with the title. I was surprised to see the lounges mentioned but not the actual restaurant when other hotels had their restaurants mentioned.
    Also, with paid parking at the resorts now, do guests need to pay to park to go to a lounge at a hotel where they're not staying?

    Hey AJ, completely random question possibly you can help me with it. For the life of me I do not understand why Disneyland did not celebrate Dumbo‘s 80th birthday in 2021. Why are some characters celebrated like crazy and others are forgotten? I didn’t see much in the way of any Murch and the only place that recognized his birthday was in Tokyo. I was very disappointed being that I am a huge Dumbo fan. And on that same note do you know where I can go to get the latest in any Dumbo merchandise besides looking to Tokyo for merch

    *Rating, not ranking. Rating is giving each a number on a scale of 1-10, as in this video. Ranking would be sorting them in order of which is best. IE; if you were to say V&A is #1, Jiko is #2, and so on. Someone has nentioned this on every video in this series, so I'm guessing either no one from DFB reads these comments, or they don't care to look it up in a dictionary (or Google).
