Hi Frank,
Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel! I am thrilled to hear that you are already planning for Mother's Day and your anniversary!
For a little inspiration, I suggest that you review last year's Mother's Day activities and treats featured in the
Celebrate Mother's Day at Disney Parks blog article. And, consider participating in the
Mother's Day Weekend at Disney Springs activities. They are featuring several dining deals that might be of interest.
A few of my favorite restaurants are Cinderella's Royal Table, Be Our Guest Restaurant, California Grill and The Edison. At Cinderella's Royal Table, several Disney princesses visit your table while you dine. At Be Our Guest Restaurant, I recommend the dinner experience - the food is delicious and, after dinner, you can meet your host, the Beast. At California Grill, we prefer to dine during the
Happily Ever After fireworks, so check the time of the fireworks and schedule your dinner reservation at least 30 minutes prior. Finally, at The Edison, the decorative theme of this restaurant combined with the entertainment and great food make it a delightful experience for the whole family.
Frank, remember that if you select a restaurant in a theme park, you will need park admission as well. For that reason, my family often celebrates special occasions at restaurants outside of the parks - California Grill and The Edison are both outside of the parks. The BoardWalk is also a nice outside of the park experience - try Flying Fish for dinner and then enjoy the shops and entertainment along the BoardWalk!
Magic, memories and Minnie Mouse hugs,
Donyell
