At Yak & Yeti I would suggest sharing the ribs. They are AWESOME and there is more than enough to share.

You have lots of great choices on here!

no way jose is GREAT.
Also, if u like shakes- their choco pb shakes are delicious

The only "sushi" i've had at cali grill is a cali roll adn that was delicious but HUGE. If you're sharing things you might not need more than 1 maybe 2 sushi items cuz they're HUGE.

I figured we'd have way too much food at Cali Grill....but it was so hard to narrow it down...it all looks so fantastic!!!

and choco pb shake...I'm on it!

thanks!!!

Great choices! We enjoyed our experiences at the California Grill, Kona, Tutto Italia and Wolfgang Puck Express.

Another suggestion for Kona is the ribeye steak. It was probably the best ribeye I've eaten and was melt-in-your-mouth tender. A steak knife was not necessary because it was so tender.

The sweet corn bisque soup at California Grill was delicious too! Don't forget to consider the Valrhona Chocolate Cake with ice cream (I believe mine was cherry) for dessert. Heaven on a plate!!

On Wed. have you considered a later breakfast? We enjoyed our breakfast at Ohana and the kids were thrilled with the characters too.

You are welcome. If you decide not to get the dim sum basket the Lettuce Cups and the Pot Stickers are also AWESOME!

The Tavern Fried Cheese at LTT is my favorite WDW food. They give you two different types of cheese sticks and I love them both!

The Tuna Oscar at Kona is FABULOUS as well as the nachos at T-Rex. They are enough to share plus maybe share an entree...you won't need much more!!!

The flame tree bbq at ak is wonderful. |Delicious and gorgeous scenery. Cape May Clambake also very wonderful and pretty a good night for Epcot. Not to be too Canadian, but you can not beat the steaks at Le Celier in the Canada pavilion

Wow.. I'm impressed with your list! The only thing I noticed was the fish and chips at the Pub. The food wasn't anything extra I wouldn't find anywhere else. I was kinda disappointed (of course things could have changed since I had it last). If you're in EPCOT, I would highly suggest something else.. Maybe in Morocco?

I've had that ribeye from Kona and you're right..it's wonderful!!

I'm one of those weirdos that can't eat breakfast....it will turn me into a sleepy slug...but I wish I could get that giant stuffed French toast thing at like 2am!!...mmmmm

Thanks so much for all your input!!

That Fried Cheese and the Ooey Gooey Toffee Cake are EXACTLY why we are going there....I have never had either before...but the pictures I've seen are irresistable!!....totally excited...

whoever said "hey...let's take cheese...then we'll roll it in flour...then deep fry it...."....oh they have a special place in my heart...

Good to know about the Nachos...I wasn't sure about portion size and figured we'd end up with WAY too much food...thank you!!!

I concur...the steaks at Le Celier are wonderful...and those pretzel breadsticks RULE!!...

we ate lunch at Le Cellier last trip...we were so stuffed that we had to spend an hour on one of the little benches outside letting our food digest so we would be able to drag ourselves back to the monorail!! I can't believe I'm admitting that!
