Vacation
Simple suggestions that could save you some serious money
The reservations have been made for your
Walt Disney World®
vacation and

anything.

The fact that we were staying at Disney's Grand Floridian
Resort & Spa, which is the Flag Ship Resort at Walt Disney World®,
seemed to mandate a special dining experience.
With three magnificent fine dining restaurants all located within
this Grand Victorian 19th century styled ocean resort our decision
would not be easy.
Narcoossee’s with its market evoked cuisine with innovative
offerings of seafood, meats and vegetarian dishes was certainly in
the running. Victoria & Albert’s the elite and elegant
restaurant that serves as the resort’s retreat for world-class
dining would be a certain memory maker. And there was Citricos
with its European ambiance and South of France inspired cuisine.
So which of these great restaurants did we choose?
For the answer to that question and a
