4 Nights on DDP... What dinner ADR's would you make?

[Crazy4Disney06]

We are staying at CBR for 4 night prior to our cruise on the Wonder. What are the top 4 dinner ADR's that we must make?
This is only our second trip to WDW so we have only ate at a slect few restaurants.

~Crystal Palace
~Nine Dragons
~Le Cellier
~Kona Cafe

If you could do five restaurants, I would recommend Biergarten.

I see you have a 6 year old boy. I would suggest maybe Garden Grill (Chip and Dale) or Chef Mickey's (we like that one for breakfast) if you haven't done these before. I would do Le Cellier too. It's hard to give good blanket recommendations without any info. Do you want character or non-character? Are you doing a different park each day (since you have 4 days and there are 4 parks)? Are you just interested in dinner or do you want some breakfast recommendations? Not trying to be a pain, but you'll get better information for everyone that way.

Definitely Chef Mickey's.

Le Cellier, Raglan Road, Kona Cafe, 'Ohanas. My top 4 restaurants!

Since we are doing 4 days prior to our cruise we plan to do a different park each day with Magic Kingdom and MNSSHP on October 13th. With my son character meals are fun, but not a requirement. We perfer dinner for our table service since we don't eat much in the morning.

Thanks everyone for your suggestions! I still have a month until I can make ADR's , however this will be our first trip to WDW with just the 3 of us, so I'm really trying to make everything magical!

Ok how does this look so far?
Day 1 Epcot : Le Cellier
Day 2 MK: Cheif Mickey or Crystal Palace not sure yet
Day 3 Disney Studios: 50's Prime Time or Sci-Fi
Day 4 Animal Kingdom: Thanking Yack and Yetti, but we have hoppers so that could change.

Any suggestions?

Sounds good to me

I'd only do Sci-Fi at lunch. If you are going for dinner, I'd choose PT.

And if you can't get Le Cellier for your Epcot night, Coral Reef would be a good back-up.

As for MK, consider the fact that you have to leave the park to get to Chef Mickey's...not a huge hassle due to the convenience of the monorail, but still a good extra half hour taken for eating. We scheduled Cinderella's Royal Table (2 TS's) for our MK dinner. You could also choose Crystal Palace in MK. Another option is booking a later seating for Ohana's so you can view Wishes...I believe they pipe in the music. We chose Coral Reef for EPCOT...hoping to get our table near the aquarium. In DHS, we scheduled the 50's diner and we went for the Tusker House in AK for a late breakfast buffet.

Just a thought, with limited time to do everything, one convenience: If you're wanting to stay for Fantasmic at Hollywood Studios, you can book a Fantasmic Dinner package for 1 TS per person at a couple of Hollywood Studios restaurants...Hollywood & Vine (buffet) and Mama Melrose for sure. It give you guaranteed seating at Fantasmic without having to stake out a spot 2 hours before the show. (You have to show up at a different Fantasmic entrance 30 min before the show.) They do require a credit card to hold the reservation even if you're using table service (there's a no-show charge if you don't cancel the rez.)

Agree with the PP about not taking time to leave MK to go to Chef Mickey's--The Crystal Palace at MK is a great buffet, with characters...the average 6 year old loves it. It's just as loud & busy as Chef Mickey's, but that's part of dining at Disney!
