Fun, fun, fun. I totally agree, it's weird the lengths otherwise rational people will go to to get dinner reservations months away. But what can you do? Gotta play the game, I guess, if you want to get a table.
Saturday:
We had a great time at Beaches & Cream in January 2007 - and even got the Kitchen Sink, which I can not actually recommend even if you are with a big group of ice cream eaters. Too many flavors that don't go together.
But the regular sundaes look great, and the meals we had there were good as well.
I always make a reservation at Spoodles and never manage to eat there. Something always goes wrong and I am beginning to think I have a Spoodles curse. But more power to you if you can actually follow through and eat there!
Cape May Buffet could be good as well - it's one I always want to try but never actually get a reservation for.
Have you ever eaten at Fresh at the Dolphin? I guess it's not on the DP, but it seems like you're planning this Saturday dinner as an extra?? I had lunch there once and it was really good and very cool. OH, but they are only breakfast and lunch. Well, it might be worth looking at the Swan and Dolphin's restaurants for dinner as well - they're places I never even really think to go with the kids.
Sunday:
DHS is the toughest. I can definitely reccommend that rather than Mama Melrose, you could just go to Olive Garden at home and it would be about as good. We didn't have any complaints, per se (we LIKE the Olive Garden), but it was just not that thrilling, especially for the cost. We can get better Italian food at home. Except for the Tiramisu, which we were told was brought over from the Brown Derby. That was really, REALLY good. Unusual presentation, but delicious.
50's Primetime would probably be more fun and a unique dining experience at the bar or otherwise.
Were they out of ADR's there? I would think a table there would be really enjoyable by yourself because there is so much kitch to look at AND there's the TV to watch, too. Some of those shows. There's this one where there's a floating cake, if I remember correctly. I ate there with just my kids last year and we really enjoyed the shows, which we didn't notice so much when we ate there with a larger group the year before. The food there -well, being a vegetarian, the choice is a stuffed pepper,
Monday: Again, I'm no help - I always want to try San Angel Inn - I would think you could just gaze at the faux volcano during your meal. Bring a pen-light for taking notes?
Marrakesh is really a great experience, though. Gorgeous in there. Loved the couscous. I don't think I had dessert when I ate lunch there with my then 2 year old, many moons ago. I hear you on the dessert - no chocolate! - but maybe you'd be pleasantly surprised?
Tuesday: Hold firm on Kona.
I have only had breakfast there one time, but it's a neat spot and good food and I'd definitely go back. I bet you'll really enjoy that one.
Are you having fun yet? I, for one, am really enjoying your planning process.
I'm about 30 min south east of Bradley airport. 
If we get our $1200 back think of what I could do with that! LOL! Actually I doubt Grumpy would find that funny but I do!
Sorry. So much good food -- not enough meals to fit it all in!
So yea, we all play the ADR game.
