5 Favorite CS & TS and New Restaurant ?

[Kata]

I know these questions are asked alot but I need to make my ADR's in a few weeks so I like to make sure I am not missing any popular restaurants. I also would like to know what new restaurants you really are looking forward to trying your next trip. I am looking forward to trying WPC,Artist Point,and Citricos. I had really been looking forward to BluZoo but a lot of recent bad reviews( both food and service) have me debating spending that much money for a meal. I may actual eat 2 meals at Jiko because I love it so much. So please list your top 5 TS, CS, and snacks too would be great. Also the restaurants you really want to try. I really appreciate any responses.

1.) Brown Derby (I can't say enough good things about this MGM restaurant. Wonderful food and terrific waiter. Expensive but worth it.)
2.) Liberty Tree Tavern (In MK. Quiet and not crowded. Good meal and delicious sherbet drink! The decor in this place will inspire the patriot in you.)
3.) Akershus (in Epcot's Norway. In the interest of full disclosure, I ate there long before it became a Princess dinner. But the cold salmon, smoked fish and cheeses were a true dining delight. Be adventurous.)
4.) Kona Cafe (Yes, I had the famous stuffed french toast, and even though they gave me the recipe I still can't make it as good as they do.)
5.) Marrakesh (in Epcot's Morocco. I know -- this place takes a beating on some message threads. But I loved the food so much I bought the cookbook. Expect meats seasoned with spices like cinnamon. Also, this is hands down the prettiest restaurant I've eaten in in Disney World. Time your meal to catch a belly dancing show.)

I have to say that some of the best WDW dining experiences I've had have come from counter service places. Cosmic Ray's cafe in MK is wonderful! Food is only average but the entertainment (audio-animatronic alien lounge singer) is top-notch. Plenty of seats, too. Cantina de San Angel in Epcot's Mexico offers great margaritas and nachos (with a great view of the lake). Electric Umbrella offers covered seats and people watching opportunities as well as fantastic long-distance view of Epcot's World Showcase. Aunt Polly's on Tom Sawyer's Island has killer apple pie and cool places to catch the breeze. Boulangerie Patisserie in France has ruined me -- I'll never love another pastry shop again. Get anything they make that has chocolate in it.

I hope that helps! I'm going to try to keep my lunch ADR with Le Cellier in my next trip. Never tried that place.

My top 5 TS:
1) Coral Reef
2) WCC
3) LTT
4) Chef's De France
5) Boatwright's for Breakfast

We don't do many CS restaurants while at WDW, the only one that we do everytime we go is Sunshine Seasons because I love the whole Land Pavillion. If we are not at a TS, we are usually snacking while walking around the parks.

Top 5 Snacks:
1) Dole Whips
2) Nestle Tollhouse Chocolate Chip Cookies
3) popcorn
4) The classic Mickey Ears ice cream bars
5) An ice cream sundae from either Beaches and Cream or Ghiradelli

When we go in June we are trying a couple of new restaurants that I am really excited about. First we are having dinner at CM, my kids have been wanting to eat at this restaurant since the last time we were at WDW, so we are making it a surprise dinner for them. Also, my DH and I are having a "date night", while kids are with the ILs, and decided to eat at Cali Grill. I have been wanting to eat here ever since I can remember. Lastly, we have breakfast ADRs for Kona Cafe, I have read about the Tonga Toast right here on the DIS and my mouth just waters when thinking about them. I cannot wait....37 more days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
