These sound great! I would suggest Earl of Sandwich for your QS at DTD. We love the Hawaiian they have there. For Epcot TS I would recommend San Angel Inn. We tried it in October and now it's a must do for September. The ambiance is nice and the food was great! We also really enjoy Akershus. The chicken salad on the cold bar is amazing!

After AK another option would be to head over to AKL and do Boma's after exploring the incredible resort! We make our ADRs so the meal ends at dusk. you can then go out back and watch the evening feed of the animals and enjoy a really quiet time watching, sitting around the fire, and getting in some precious downtime before heading out again. We usually go over to DTD after AKL. it's nice to be all full and not have to stand in line at DTD for anything else

At EPCOT, Biergarten is our favorite if you are in for a bigger meal. St. Angel Inn inside the pyramid is really good for lunch. Their 3-course lunch was a very pleasant surprise for us last year. We're doing it again in 2012

EPCOT offers such a variety of cuisines that I'd suggest looking at the menus and see what you would enjoy. Everything from sushi to crepes...you really can't go wrong.

mousiemom · 11-14-2012, 02:16 PM

i would space out that 3/6 ressies cause we've learned not to do 2 ts in one day or have one for breakfast and one for dinner. your epcot dinner you have a lot to choose from: Le Chefs de France, but you know one we really enjoyed was biergarten in germany. you would never know that restaurant was back there. great entertainment and the food was great!!

goofyintoronto · 11-14-2012, 03:07 PM

for your QS dinner at DTD i would not suggest Earl of Sandwich. Unless your dying for a sandwich for dinner, id skip it. It is a sandwich after all. nothing special in my opinion. A bit over rated.

Id very highly recommend Wolfgang Puck Express, market place location. OMG its heaven! My fave dish is the bacon wrapped meatloaf with mashed potatoes. WOW VERY GOOD! The spaghetti and meatballs are also incredibly tasty. the meatballs are full of so much flavor. and the spaghetti is cooked to perfection. The pizza is great too. On the DP this is a great value as its not cheap. Whereas if paying out of pocket, maybe just maybe Earls is the way to go because its super cheap.

We love Earl of Sandwich too! Also, Ohana is one of our favorites- a great way to start your vacation!

teffy · 11-15-2012, 10:10 AM

Ohana is sooooo good. And that time of night is awesome. Also, what about Garden Grill for a meal at EPCOT?

ktnryansmom · 11-15-2012, 10:48 AM

I love all of the suggestions--thank you so much!!!

GeorgiaHoo · 11-15-2012, 11:09 AM

Looks like you'll be there about the same time as us. Here's my plan so far:

3/1 - evening arrival

3/2 - AK and then Boma for dinner

3/3 - HS and Fantasmic meal at Mama Melrose

3/4 - Epcot and dinner at Ohana (booked)

3/5 - AK and dinner at Yak and Yeti or Rainforest Cafe (not sure which)

3/6 - MK and dinner at Be Our Guest (booked)

3/7 - Do whatever day, dinner at Cape May

3/8 - departure

Any thoughts on Yak and Yeti compared to Rainforest Cafe? Need to book asap as latest current reservation at Yak and Yeti is 5:30.

Crystal824 · 11-15-2012, 12:22 PM

I think your plan looks great. The only suggestion I would have is maybe not do Crystal Palace and Liberty Tree so close together. Can you get in for dinner that night instead? We always eat at CP each trip, but we usually don't eat a full lunch on that day b/c we are typically still full from breakfast (just grab a snack or split a CS meal).

ktnryansmom · 11-15-2012, 03:07 PM

my thoughts behind the lunch at 2 was because when we are finished we can step out and watch the parade near the restaurant around 3/3:15...

I also don't want to pay an arm and a leg for dinner at Liberty because they only offer the buffet/family style at dinner...

breakfast is at 8:30 and lunch reservation is at 2 and I know sometimes they get behind so we wouldn't be eating until 2:30...

hmmmm....we also have a 2nd day at MK the following week so I can change it up if needed.

Georgiahoo--do you have a Rainforest Cafe where you live? we do so it's not something we'll do. My kids like their food, me, not so much!

hammie59 · 11-15-2012, 10:50 PM

For you Epcot day I suggest Coral Reef. The atmosphere is nice with the view of the giant aquarium and the food we had was very good.
