I always end up sitting with my legs crossed and never thought about why! I'm also getting at least some new chairs soon, if not whole dining set. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/comfortable-dining-chairs#post-2463739 Tue, 16 Feb 2016 19:49:24 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2463739@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PawPrints: LOL, I sit that way too all the time too. :grin: With shoes I'm sure my feet touch! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/comfortable-dining-chairs#post-2463733 Tue, 16 Feb 2016 19:44:26 +0000 PawPrints 2463733@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah I actually went years without thinking about it, but eventually I started to wonder why I always wound up sitting cross-legged on the chair like a little kid, and I realized it was because it was bugging me that my heels weren't resting on the floor. At work and in my home office, I use a footrest. But that seems silly under a dining table. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/comfortable-dining-chairs#post-2463730 Tue, 16 Feb 2016 19:42:56 +0000 PawPrints 2463730@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: Sorry if I ruined your favorite chairs forever! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/comfortable-dining-chairs#post-2463684 Tue, 16 Feb 2016 19:07:14 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2463684@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just tested out my favorite chairs in our house (we have two sets) and never thought about it before, but at 5'2" the balls of my feet touch the ground only. :meh: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/comfortable-dining-chairs#post-2463679 Tue, 16 Feb 2016 19:01:29 +0000 PawPrints 2463679@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bump </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/comfortable-dining-chairs#post-2463328 Tue, 16 Feb 2016 14:54:09 +0000 PawPrints 2463328@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are thinking of swapping out our dining chairs for a new look. My issue is that I want my feet to rest comfortably on the floor when I'm sitting normally in the chair. Our current dining chairs (and, like, all chairs ever) are too tall and only my toes and the balls of my feet touch the floor, which is not exactly ergonomic. I'm 5'3" so it's not like I'm abnormally short. This seems like it should be a solvable problem!</p> <p>Can anyone recommend dining chairs that are comfortable for a somewhat vertically challenged adult? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-place-to-eat-at-walt-disney-world#post-2376401 Thu, 03 Dec 2015 07:26:11 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2376401@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Epcot- German restaurant ;-)</p> <p>That's Bongos @erinpye: , the restaurant is owned by Gloria Estefan.

The lingonberry* sauce is so uniquely divine. My fave for sure. Ask for a window table for castle like ambience! </p> <p>Sci fi was fun but not tasty enough for the price tag. Columbia Harbor was pretty decent for the price range.<br /> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lingonberry_jam" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lingonberry_jam</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-place-to-eat-at-walt-disney-world#post-2375573 Wed, 02 Dec 2015 12:11:01 +0000 MrsADS 2375573@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U. for a really fun afternoon/evening, go visit Port Orleans French Quarter (hotel). You can take the boat from there to Downtown Disney, which is a beautiful and relaxing ride. Eat dinner/walk around at Downtown Disney, take the boat back. And make sure to get dessert at French Quarter - they have homemade beignets that they fry in front of you and OMG they are so good! You don't have to be staying at the hotel - we just tell the guard we want to walk around/eat there and they are glad to let you in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-place-to-eat-at-walt-disney-world#post-2375184 Wed, 02 Dec 2015 07:55:45 +0000 looch 2375184@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really liked the food at the HoopDeeDoo Review, but I am really not sure it's a kid friendly place.

We liked the Cuban place in Downtown Disney and all of the food we had at Epcot was good, especially the Mexican place. I didn't pay enough attention to the names, apparently! HAHA! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-place-to-eat-at-walt-disney-world#post-2374620 Tue, 01 Dec 2015 16:20:58 +0000 csross217 2374620@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We loved Sleepy Hollow at MK, they have delicious waffle sandwiches! Be Our Guest is fun too because of the great atmosphere/theme. Flame Tree BBQ and Tusker House (character breakfast) at AK, Prime Time Cafe at HS. California Grill at Contemporary is great for fine dining, and it has a beautiful view of MK.</p> <p>@MrsADS: I second Disney Food Blog!

I haven't tried any of the sit down restaurants at Hollywood studios but I an sure they're good! The counter service food is just nothing special. </p> <p>Also check out the Disney Food Blog! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-place-to-eat-at-walt-disney-world#post-2374440 Tue, 01 Dec 2015 14:10:07 +0000 Charm54 2374440@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ms.line: oh I forgot about Prime Time!

This helps too. We try to go about once every other year so splurging a bit for one sit down meal per day and then snacks or something small. Maybe on our HS day we will just pack PBJ. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-place-to-eat-at-walt-disney-world#post-2374430 Tue, 01 Dec 2015 14:04:00 +0000 Charm54 2374430@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: haven't done either of those at HS so can't comment...but character dining at Chef Mickey's (in the Contemporary hotel) is SO much fun - food isn't foodie quality but there's a wide variety. The atmosphere (and the sundar bar silly: is awesome). I can't wait to take DD there in March! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-place-to-eat-at-walt-disney-world#post-2374429 Tue, 01 Dec 2015 14:03:48 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2374429@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Charm54: Tusker house was great at AK! And I just had Raglan Road a few weeks ago (although I didn't like my entree). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-place-to-eat-at-walt-disney-world#post-2374427 Tue, 01 Dec 2015 14:02:20 +0000 MrsADS 2374427@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh! Disney! My favorite topic! We are Florida residents and annual passholders (well, we didn't get passes this year since we have a new baby, but we have been for several years). We usually don't eat sit-down meals because I'm cheap and sit down meals are expensive at Disney. So here are my favorites for snacks/counter service meals!</p> <p>Magic Kingdom:<br /> - best snack ever, DOLE WHIP - it's a pineapple soft serve. So gooood. I get this every time I am at Magic Kingdom.<br /> - my favorite counter service is Columbia Harbor House in Fantasyland/Liberty Square. They have fried fish/shrimp but I usually get a salad, which are really good. They also have a hummus and broccoli slaw sandwich that I really like. Take your food and sit upstairs - it is air conditioned and you're in a little alcove overlooking Fantasyland. Great to people watch!<br /> - Sleepy Hollow in Liberty Square: not really a full restaurant, more snacks, but they have ice cream cookie sandwiches, and different kinds of waffle sandwiches (one is spicy chicken, but they have one that's Nutella and fruit yummmm).</p> <p>Epcot:<br /> - Sunshine Seasons at the Land Pavilion. Lots of different kind of food (the grilled salmon, or rotisserie chicken) - all fresh stuff with veggies, etc. I think possibly best counter service in WDW.<br /> - Tangerine Cafe: the counter service in Morocco. Super tasty Middle Eastern food, a little pricey for a quick service but the plates are large enough to split.<br /> - In France: the kiosks with crepes and the frozen slushy drinks (Grand Marnier slushy and lemon vodka slushy!).<br /> - In Germany: the Karamel Kuche, it's a bakery with all kinds of homemade caramel stuff. Everything I've had is amazing.<br /> - Via Napoli (sit down restaurant) in Italy - awesome pizza, but $$$. Big portions, good for splitting.</p> <p>Hollywood Studios: all the food is bad!</p> <p>Animal Kingdom: Flame Tree BBQ is the best counter service place to eat. Everything is pretty good, they smoke the meat there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-place-to-eat-at-walt-disney-world#post-2374424 Tue, 01 Dec 2015 14:00:19 +0000 PawPrints 2374424@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>California Grill in the Contemporary Resort for fine dining - go when you can watch the Magic Kingdom fireworks in the evening. I also love the Mexican restaurant in Epcot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-place-to-eat-at-walt-disney-world#post-2374420 Tue, 01 Dec 2015 13:59:25 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2374420@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm trying to decide right now between Minnie's character buffet and Hollywood and Vine versus the Brown Derby. 2 kids, 2 parents, 2 grandparents. </p> <p>Also possibly booking something for dinner at MK. If we dont do character dinner at HS maybe do something at MK? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-place-to-eat-at-walt-disney-world#post-2374413 Tue, 01 Dec 2015 13:54:38 +0000 Charm54 2374413@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love Liberty Tree Tavern at MK, Sci-Fi Dine-In at HS, Le Cellier and Biergarten at Epcot, Tusker House at AK, Raglan Road at DTD, Ohana Breakfast at the Poly..... Ahhh I have so many favourites! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-place-to-eat-at-walt-disney-world#post-2374407 Tue, 01 Dec 2015 13:51:15 +0000 Mamasig 2374407@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The food at Ohana was great. I also liked the place in Norway at Epcot with the princesses. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-place-to-eat-at-walt-disney-world#post-2374387 Tue, 01 Dec 2015 13:32:22 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2374387@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What's your favorite list of food/restaurants/snacks for WDW? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-budget-for-eating-out-per-month#post-593722 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 10:24:26 +0000 betsyboop 593722@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We spend about $400 a month on groceries (I really can't figure out how to get this number down much) and $150 on eating out but that's only lunch out. If we go out to dinner, it's probably $100 more. DH buys lunch every day, which I think is $10+. Too much but he says he feels anti-social when he brings lunch. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-budget-for-eating-out-per-month#post-593707 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 10:20:24 +0000 MrsTiz 593707@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I spend about $300 per month on groceries and probably another $50-$75 on eating out. We don't go out for dinner, but DH is bad for buying fast food for lunch. </p>
