I really love this so far!
For September 8th's Lunch, would you consider doing a Breakfast? It would alleviate the being too full part. Perhaps a quick breakfast at your resort. Or something simple from Starbucks in HS.
For lunch on Sept. 10, maybe Boatwrights or since your Hoop Dee Doo is later, you could do a MK lunch at Casey's Corner?
For Sep 12, AK you could do a dinner at Tiffins, and perhaps a Lunch at Yak & Yeti Cafe (the QS one)
For the 13th, Maybe do something Quick? Resort exploring around MK is awesome, and I've heard that Contempo Cafe is really good.
For Friday Sep. 13,
Maybe an Epcot afternoon, do breakfast at the hotel and maybe a lunch at Biergarten or Rose and Crown?
On the 16th, since you're going to be in the MK area, maybe Cosmic Ray's (Its a personal favorite of mine).
For Tuesday the 19th, perhaps dinner at Liberty Tree Tavern. I don't see that on your list, and they've been very good lately.
And finally, a lunch at Magic Kingdom, maybe try for a Be Our Guest? Or if that's not available, The Plaza restaurant?

I hope some of this helps! That's an amazing trip planned!

Is it too much food? Also any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

NOPE! Although you're gonna have people who will tell you it's too much and you're missing too much park time, etc...but I love it! Your hours might kill me, although I'm 47 not twenty something so back then probably not!

September 5th (Tuesday):
Flight Departs NY 6:20am->Arrive at MCO 8:54am
-Lunch at Peco’s Bill
-Happily Ever After Fireworks 9:00pm from Trader Sam’s Terrace
-Dinner at ‘Ohana 9:35pm We are not huge fans...and with an ARD that late expect it to run later!
-Trader Sam’s Grogg Grotto (12:30am)

-World Showcase for Food and Wine

-Pongu Pongu

September 8th (Friday): (Hollywood Studios 9:00am-8:00pm)
-Lunch (I'm not sure where to lunch due to our early H&V dinner. Don't want to be too full) Maybe a late breakfast at Captains Grill or just an early CS lunch in the Studios???
-Hollywood and Vine Minnie’s Seasonal Dine 6:10pm -> Fantasmic Not fond of lunch/dinner here but love Breakfast

September 9th (Saturday): (Magic Kingdom 9:00am-9:00pm)

-Trader Sam’s (1am)

September 10th (Sunday):
-Sleep in/Pool
-Lunch (Need suggestions. We are staying at PO French Quarter) Boatwrights? I think Boatwrights only does dinner??? Maybe just grab something form the food court and relax by the pool
-Hoop De Doo Review 8:30pm

September 11th (Monday): (Epcot 9:00am-9:00pm)
-Food and Wine (Nom nom nom)

September 12th (Tuesday): (Animal Kingdom 9:00am-9:00pm)

-Skipper Canteen 12:00pm This is our arrival day lunch in 50 days!!!
-Citricos 9:50pm (Questioning... The menu doesn't really WOW me) We have been a couple of times and have loved it...but it has been a while because it just usually loses out to the other signatures. It always seems more upscale to me but we have always had great service and the food has been wonderful!

September 14th (Thursday): (Epcot 8:00am-9:00pm – AM EMH)
-Food & Wine Lunch/Dinner

September 15th (Friday):
-Lunch (Suggestion Needed - Open to ANYWHERE)
-Dinner (Suggestion Needed - Open to ANYWHERE)
-Coca Cola rooftop Beverage Bar
-Jock Lindsay’s Hangar Bar (12am)
-Raglan Road: The Hole in the Wall
-Splittsville (1am)
-Boathouse Dockside Bar

I'm assuming this is a Disney Springs day...so my choices for lunch and dinner in the Springs would be Boathouse and Homecoming' (both on our list for our next trip (in 50 days!!!) but looks like you're hitting up the bar areas and I have seen some good looking reviews of the food available at them also so maybe just munch while partaking in your beverages!

September 16th (Saturday):
-Lunch (Suggestion Needed - Open to ANYWHERE)
-Spirit of Aloha 8:15pm
-Trader Sam’s Tiki Terrace (12am)

September 17th (Sunday):
-Universal and Halloween Horror Nights (SHH don't tell Mickey)

September 18th (Monday): (Epcot 9:00am-9:00pm)
-Food and Wine Lunch/Dinner

September 19th (Tuesday): (Magic Kingdom 9:00am-9:00pm)
-Columbia Harbor House Lunch
-Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party (7:00pm-12:00am)
-Dinner (Suggestions Appreciated) I wouldn't waste party time with an ADR so it'd be something CS but I think a lot of the places close during the party or early at least...you might only find Casey's and COsmic Ray's available for CS. Maybe do a sit down big lunch to tide you over

September 20th (Wednesday):(Magic Kingdom 9:00am-9:00pm)
-Lunch Suggestions MK makes it hard to do ADRs but if you're just looking for quick maybe do Columbia HJarbour house here instead of the day before .

Someday I'll get to food & wine...sounds like a great trip you have planned!

You will be there during Orlando Magical Dining Month, so when the new restaurants and menus are posted, I would plan a bunch of them - there are Disney Springs and Swan/Dolphin sites which always participate...it's $35/person for 3 courses from a limited menu with a $1/meal going to charity. It's a win-win-win for you and the restaurant and the charity. TIW would not be able to be used, though, since it's a specially priced menu, but I think the 3 course cost far exceeds any discount you'd get. Last year, STK Orlando, Morimoto Asia, Bluezoo, and Il Mulino all participated.

Thanks for all the suggestions guys!! Food has become a big part of our Disney trips! We really look forward to trying new places and finding new places that we love!

I'm curious about this. Kind of sounds like the restaurant week we have in the City. Where can I get more information on this?

Perhaps BOMA, Jiko or Saana at AKL lodge - fantastic food and not too exotic plus the advantage of wandering around the lodge, especially at night --they also have a nice bar area
Crews Cup is great at Yacht Club - very good food and nice bar - more adult and they don't take reservations --we really enjoyed it for dinner and drinks.
Contempo is a good QS with a varied menu - and the Outer Rim bar is right beside it
Pete Werner recently listed Boatwrights one of the worst restaurants on property - you might check that out...
Gasparilla Grill at GF has good food and it is nice to sit outside and have a view of the castle --good lunch spot (and the sandwiches/salad on the right hand side of the ordering area are really good, freshly made sandwiches and the salad has someone that builds your salad as you tell them each item you want)
Geyser Point at WL is great ...take boat over from MK if you can --it will take you about 2 hours or so from MK to WL, lunch and then back to MK

Hope this helps!
