Shellydon Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Planning a trip for spring and need help deciding where to eat. We do the dining plan... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennifer in MI Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Boma California Grill O'Hana Bongo's Wolfgang Puck Dh and I are split, but I really like Coral Reef. Dh is just "meh" Whispering Canyon for the experience, the food is ok What about the dinner shows? Hoop-De-Do is hilarious! And we liked the hula show too. I know there are more, but I can't think of them right now. Enjoy!!! Do you want counter service places too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carrie Sue Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Crystal Palace in the Magic Kingdom Le Cellier in Epcot Boma (if you like a big variety of exotic flavors) Coral Reef in Epcot We were not impressed with Tutto Italia. I spent some time looking at menus on allears.net and tried to find places that had dishes that were within our tastes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On our short list: Be Our Guest (for lunch, evening meals are hard to come by, I've heard), T-Rex Cafe (my kids love dinosaurs), Sanaa (at Animal Kingdom Lodge).

Jennifer in MI Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Oh DUH!!! How can I forget Be our Guest!!!! It is one of our new favorites! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Momof3littles Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 We enjoyed sushi at California Grill, but that's not the best bang for your buck if you are concerned with that part of the dining plan. Kona for breakfast was great Crystal Palace was wonderful for an early breakfast Tusker House was a decent character meal, although I was not that impressed with the food. It might have been an off day. It was nice to see the characters though. Boma's atmosphere was quite nice; I might try a different AKL restaurant next time. We like all kinds of ethnic food, spices, exotic but I didn't find the food *that* fantastic. Our meal was very "buffet" in quality, iykwim. Good though and we enjoyed it. I really liked our server and the atmosphere. We enjoyed BoG for lunch We liked Morocco's platters, Uk's fish and chips, ham and cheese croissants (was a snack credit and we were tired of sweet everything) in France. Grapefruit beer was lovely as well :) Starring Rolls for cupcakes. Next time I'd like to hit Boardwalk Bakery Via Napoli was decent. ice cream at Beaches and Cream was fun after we rode around on a surrey bike. I think we paid OOP. I wish I had kept our Le Cellier ADR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shellydon Posted October 21, 2014 Author Share Posted October 21, 2014 I haven't been able to get Be Our Guest reservations, but I'll keep trying! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DawnM Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 We do Be Our Guest for lunch, late lunch, around 2pm. They don't take reservations for lunch, and the lines can be long, but at 2pm, we got in within 20 min. and had a great time. Dawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DawnM Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Oh, and not to need a reservation, but we love getting the Kitchen Sink at Beaches and Cream. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QueenCat Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 We're going in April. On our short list: Be Our Guest (for lunch, evening meals are hard to come by, I've heard), T-Rex Cafe (my kids love dinosaurs), Sanaa (at Animal Kingdom Lodge). Be Our Guest isn't easy at lunch either. It's counter service. Opens at 10:30. When we got there at 10:45am, about two weeks ago, they weren't taking any more customers without fast passes for the rest of lunch that day. Only specially invited people get an invite to get a fast pass for BOG at lunch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zoobie Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Oh, and not to need a reservation, but we love getting the Kitchen Sink at Beaches and Cream. You can make reservations for Beaches and Cream now! :) Crystal Palace (early breakfast before park opens) 1900 PF with the evil stepmother and sisters for excellent character interaction Boma (breakfast is good too!) Be Our Guest is doing invited FastPass + reservations only for lunch right now, per an article on Chip and Company's blog. They said it's possibly just a trial, but thought I'd mention it. http://www.chipandco.com/guest-quick-service-serving-fastpass-guests-200615/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kroe1 Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 I thought you would never ask. MAGIC KINGDOM Cinderella’s Royal Table only if traveling with a young child. Crystal Palace only for super early breakfast so I can get some castle photos before the park opens Liberty Tree Tavern for turkey and dressing. You have to ask for the cranberry sauce. Do not forget. EPCOT Rose and Crown Pub and Dining Room for the fish and chips, baby! San Angel Inn for a fish with olives. I cannot remember the name. ANIMAL KINGDOM Rainforest Cafe is very loud, but very good food. Yak and Yeti Restaurant same chain owners as Rainforest. All is good. DISNEY’S HOLLYWOOD STUDIOS ’50s Prime Time Cafe, burger, fries, and a malt. Hollywood Brown Derby. THE COBB SALAD! Just lay your face in the bowl. Top it off with grapefruit cake. ANIMAL KINGDOM LODGE AND VILLAS Jiko just slice your wallet open and do the safari on the savannah with the chef's table dining. BOARDWALK Kouzzina. Get the breakfast flatbread. Yeah, you will be thanking me. CONTEMPORARY California Grill. Waiter named Bill. Steaks and, well, everything is great. CORONADO SPRINGS Maya Grill. Owned by the San Angel Inn people. Everything is awesome! DOLPHIN The Fountain. Just get dessert. No need to eat anything else. You will collapse from ecstasy as you stand to leave. Shula’s Steak House, well duh, the steaks. To die for. Todd English’s bluezoo. Weird, but always new, crazy good food. Portions smaller so cannot share. FORT WILDERNESS Hoop Dee Doo Revue. Food is terrible, show is corny fun. GRAND FLORIDIAN RESORT AND SPA 1900 Park Fare. Only for a character meal when traveling with small children. Alice in Wonderland Tea Party. A must for young children. Citricos. MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE!!! I love it so much that I had my wedding reception there, top it all off with the Fairytale Cuvée. POLYNESIAN Kona Cafe best sundae in America. ‘Ohana a must for everyone, both breakfast and dinner. Bring an empty stomach because the food just keeps coming. PORT ORLEANS RIVERSIDE Boatwright’s Dining Hall. Call in advance and ask the chef to buy stuff for the old pot roast that was dumped on mash potatoes. If you beg enough, they will put it on as a special. Just lay your face in it and suck it up your nose. Pure pleasure. SWAN Il Mulino New York Trattoria- let's just say I still have pleasure dreams about the gnocchi. Um, um, good. WILDERNESS LODGE Artist Point great atmosphere and mildly romantic. Ask for the table in the corner. Whispering Canyon Cafe, fun with a capital "F". Do not ask for ketchup under any circumstances. YACHT CLUB Yachtsman Steakhouse, steak, steak, steak. DOWNTOWN DISNEY Marketplace Rainforest Cafe see above T-Rex see rainforest cafe Pleasure Island Portobello. Love it! Again, try the gnocchi. Raglan Road, Shepherd's pie!

Ellyndria Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Here are our reservations for our next trip: Liberty Tree Tavern Coral Reef 50's Prime Time Biergarten La Hacienda de San Angel Tusker House T-Rex San Angel Inn Garden Grill Yak & Yeti Le Cellier Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater Be Our Guest Tokyo Dining With the exception of Be Our Guest, we've been to all of these at least once, and some multiple times, so we like them all. However, some are more for the fun/atmosphere (T-Rex, Sci-Fi) rather than the food. On our recent (short) trip, we went to: San Angel Inn (we end up there every time) Rose and Crown Tutto Italia (Our second time, although we agreed that we were done there and wouldn't be going there anymore. The food was okay, but just not that special for the price, and there's nothing compelling about the restaurant itself either.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alisoncooks Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 I forgot Sci-Fi when I posted before. My girls are excited to go to that one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shellydon Posted October 22, 2014 Author Share Posted October 22, 2014 This helps a lot. Thanks! I have ADRs for Rose and Crown for dinner at Epcot and Park Fare for breakfast.
