Thank you the girls are 6 and 8 yrs budget is not really that much of an issue. We are open to any ideas, thank you in advance
Hello! I actually searched "most romantic restaurants in WDW" for a lark, and found this:
The Disney Sweetheart Dinner for Two
Disney even has a special Sweetheart Dinner for Two package. Included is a 3 course fixed price meal at a Signature Dining Restaurant. The meal includes an appetizer, entrée and a shared celebratory dessert. Youll also appreciate a specially selected beverage in 2 commemorative etched champagne flutes which are yours to keep as a commemoration of your special dinner.
The Sweetheart Dinner for 2 is available at Citricos, Narcoossees, California Grill, Jiko, Yachtsman Steakhouse, Flying Fish, Artist Point, and Hollywood Brown Derby.
The price is $150 for all participating Signature Dining locations except California Grill; $170 at California Grill. Tax and Gratuity are extra.
Here's a link to info on the WDW website:

We've eaten at Cali Grill, Narcoossee's, Citrico's and Artist Point. All were delicious. The reason I recommend the first two are that there are lots of kids at both (Artist Point OK too, fewer at Citrico's). Cali Grill & Narcoossee's are not terribly quiet - a good or bad thing depending on what you are looking for. We were concerned about our boys being a bit loud when we first went (they are twins and they were 8 at the time). Both have kids menu's beyond the usual mac & cheese (like steak, salmon, grilled chicken, as well as the mac & cheese which seems to be everywhere!). Cali Grill features sushi among lots of other things and has the cutest dessert for the kids: dessert sushi made with rice krispie squares shaped like sushi -uses fruit gummies for the "fish", fruit roll-ups for "seaweed" and chocolate sauce for the "soy" sauce. The boys have put Cali Grill on the top of their list for each of our 2 other trips and are bummed we won't get there when we are at WDW for 2 nights pre-cruise in March.
The other appeal for these restaurants is fireworks viewing if you can manage. If need be, call and explain about the Wish Trip (they "pixie-dusted" our table and made sure we had a window seat at Cali Grill). Cali Grill is on the 15th (16th?) floor at the COntemporary, and has an observation deck with a unique view of the MK. It's a fabulous view of the Wishes fireworks, music piped in...has been a special moment of our trips. Narcoossee's is at the ferry dock at the Grand Floridian - a lovely boat ride away from MK. For Wishes, restaurant patrons are invited to step outside to a private deck to watch Wishes, music piped in etc.
In both cases, they lower the lights and pipe the music inside as well, I think...but we always want to be outside!
I am sure there are romantic options at Epcot, but our better meals there have been at Coral Reef (not romantic to me, but maybe being with 3 guys affects this!), Rose & Crown (I won't do a pub for an anniversary, but it's good) and TeppenEdo (yummy, but you'll be seated at a teppan/Cooking table with a total of up to 8. When we were there we helped a mother celebrate her birthday which was fun, but not necessarily romantic.
We love Cali Grill and Narcoossee's for "nicer but not stuffy and it is kid-friendly" atmospheres, the wider range of kids options yet still very kid appropriate menus - while we get delicious options on the main menus...and fantastic firworks options!
I'd take a look at the menu's and see what you think - and who knows...maybe this Sweetheart deal is for you...or do your own thing but make sure they know this is your own celebration within the Wish celebration. We did something special for one meal during Mark's Wish Trip - celebrating Douglas being such a great brother. There were some unique things that Coral Reef used to be able to do with menu and the divers, together with great seating and extra special attention to the "non-Wish" child. It helped Doulgas understand that while this was Mark's Wish Trip, he is very special too...helped a lot given that they are twins.
Happy deciding!

- I know this can be done at the magic kingdom and I think at Epcot but I would love some advice on what you all would recommend. This was such an awesome source of advice and friendship for our trip and I am so thankful that this DIS community still exsists.
They upped her meds so hopefully this will keep them at bay. She is home now and back to her happy usually self which is more than I can say for Mommy, Daddy, or brother. We are all kinda bummed here but I just keep telling myself it could have been a much worse seizure because with her pattern they usually are big, bad and long. This one was more like a little blip on her brain waves.
