TRIP PLANNING MUST HAVE sit down

We love snacking around Epcot, truly the best!

But I’m taking my mother who hasn’t been since 2003 and want to make sure she loves it as much as i do

What’s the one special meal you would reserve and make happen ?

Takumi Tei is the Japanese Victoria and Albert’s, but at half the price.

Le Cellier. That filet. That cheese soup. Those sprouts. That crème brûlée.

Takumi Tei is kinda surreal. Don't think I'll ever forget that experience.

Would you really say it’s worth it? I’m a fan of Michelin star places and high end Japanese but wasn’t sure about shelling out that much for a Disney-fied version of omakase.

Yeah, I hear you on that. But for us, it was worth it. There were a lot of special touches with that place, it was really quiet and serene. Each dining room has a different vibe/theme based on Earth elements like from Avatar. Service was very sincere, delivered by the Japanese Disney international cast members.

Vs going upstairs to teppan edo, which is pretty much the opposite. We didn't like our last meal there. It feels kinda rushed, impersonal, super loud, chaotic. I think takumi tei is a better value.

But I would understand how it might not be everyone's vibe.

Ah ok. Yeah I’ve been really intrigued by it. I may try it out in a future trip (one where I’m not already spending out my butt with grand Floridian and other things 😂) thanks for the input!!

No problem! Yeah, it's a bit expensive, but like the other guy said, you could almost look at it like a value when compared to V&A's. 😂
