Ok, I've made my Disney reservations for June - now I'm all excited!
But, I've gotten in a rut with our Dining, so was thinking you all could share where you like to eat. Generally, we've eaten in the following places:
Magic Kingdom - Crystal Palace and Liberty Square Tavern
Epcot - Garden Grill
MGM - Sci-Fi Cafe and fast foods
Animal Kingdom - Restaurantasaurus

My daughter is 11 now. I think we need to branch out (although I do like all the above and would highly recommend them!). No Disney Princess breakfast for us (did that once) as the pressure of getting seating is too much for me.

MK we never do a sit down thingy there (except the castle). Tomorrowland Terrace (still called that or am I dating myself)? or Peco Bills. Tomorrowland has more selection.

MGM (excuse me....Disney Studio's ) PRIME TIME CAFE!!!!!!!!!!!!! More "formal" Mama Mia's (Italian)

Epcot.....Whatever we feel like at the time. Favs are Canada and France. Many like Mexico, Italy, UK or Morocco (although not my fav) Another option is take the back walking path to the Boardwalk and grab a bite at either ESPN or the Brewery (or the bakery )

AK...never eaten there myself Not my fav park except for a quick stop. Others with me have had a quick snack at one of the fast food places.

Please excuse any speeeling errors. Too lazy to see if I speeeled anything right.....

The only one I really remember is Epcot- France. It was lovely.

We ate at the restaurant inside the hotel for Animal Kingdom. You get to use the night vision goggles to see the giraffes.

OH! Have you done the Hoop-de-du- Revue?

We did the meal plan, and had to use up 2 points (?) at once a few nights.

Ate at Les Chefs de France at Epcot with my parents a couple weekends ago. It was good. Mom and I got the lunch "special" which was french onion soup, grilled ham/cheese sandwich with unique salad, and creme brule for dessert for $19.95 each. Next time, I'm just getting the soup and dessert (too much food to eat). Dad got a tuna sandwich he did not like at all. However, he said the dessert he got (some kind of chocolate with ice cream and pastry) made up for the sandwich.
Touringplans.com has great recommendations for restaurants all over Disney but you have to be website member ($7 a year) to access each restaurant--or you can get the book The Unofficial Guide to Walt Disney World. It has been an excellent "investment" and gives you all the ins and outs of Disney.
We don't eat in restaurants with my son (due to his autism and sensitivity to noises and kids) and since we (husband and son mostly) go every weekend, we try to eat before we get to the parks to save money, but when we do eat at the Magic Kingdom the counter service places we like are the BBQ place in Frontierland, Casey's (hotdogs) on Main Street and Columbia Harbor House (fish and other items) in Liberty Square. The touringplans web page says that Cosmic Ray’s (highly rated by touringplans readers) became the first counter-service restaurant in any of the Disney theme parks to offer a kosher menu if that is of interest to you.
If you want more details from the touringplans web page, just pm me and I'll be glad to help.

"Thank you for calling Disney Dining this is Jules how can I help you?"

This is what I do for a living and for pleasure.

Here goes...

MK - I'm with Nanner on this one, I don't usually do sit down in MK. (By the way Tomorrowland Terrace is now the Noodle Station and only open "Seasonally" meaning when there are toooo many people here.)
I do like the Liberty for lunch not dinner. If you want really nice, Narcoosee's at the Grand Floridian is our Fav spot. 1900 Park Fare at the Grand Floridian is a nice meal both breakfast and dinner. Dinner is hard to get because Cindy is there. Mary Poppins is at the breakfast.

The Studios - I agree with Nanner on this one too. Prime Time is a must do. Not so much Mama Melrose and again for a Nice meal, The Brown Derby.

EPCOT - My fav is Canada and a new fav is the NEW Italian restaurant. Tutto Italia. YUM. Nanner you need to give it another try. France was ok, Teppan Edo in Japan is fun - they cook in front of you. If you like sushi or tempura try the new restaurant Tokoya Dining - great view of the fireworks. Hubbie loves the Biergarten, think its the german beer not so much the food....

AK - 2 count them 2 new sit down restaurants for you. Tusker House is now a buffet with african flavor, its ok but I prefer Boma at the lodge over this one. And Yak & Yeti (new asian one) I haven't eaten there but it sure smelled good when I walked by!!

Hoop Dee Do is a blast! My girl was 6 the first time she went and asked to go there for her 15th birthday last year.

*Takes off hat*


So when you coming? PM me and maybe we can get together again and play some!! Oh CRAZY ORVILE YOU COMING TOO THIS YEAR?

I took my sister and daughter on a carriage ride at one of the resorts in Feb. It was a really nice thing to do. Very relaxing.

Oh where do I begin? If you like down to earth and lots of variety try Trails End at Fort Wilderness, The fried chicken is out of this world, same as Hoop de doo serves it's buffet style. Another favorite is Ohana at the Polynesian, turkey, pork, sausgae and steak, grilled shrimp, and great potatoe and salad acompanyments another all you can eat, and it is a lot of food they serve, they come to table with meat on big skewers and push it off into your plate, HMmmmm getting hungry just thinking about it...Go to www.allearsnet.com they have menus listed you might find something none of us have mentioned..... I also like Casey's, best hot dog around the parks, or Tony's is good have done lunch and dinner there, don't limit yourself to the parks for food, think about the other resorts, they are just a boat or a bus ride away......

As you are coming from Fantasyland and before Liberty Square, in the Magic Kingdon, there is a restaurant called the Columbian, They have the normal Disney stuff but also have a nice fish dinner, for a fast food type place. I make sure I eat there each time I go. YUMMY!
