ADR help--where should we eat?

[kristainohio]

DH and I just booked our anniversary trip for December 13-17. I know we are already behind in ADRs since it's free dining. I'm also drawing a complete blank on maybe where we should eat?

Here's our tentative plans:
Thursday: Arrive at 10 a.m. I do have a 1:30 p.m. ADR at Rose and Crown with a CP package for the 5 p.m. show (Jodi Benson is Narrator). Not sure if we should do the CP on our first night there?

Friday: Probably HS for Osborne Lights. Have a 50s PTC and Sci Fi Ressie but neither of these seem WOW to me. Suggestions?

Saturday: Boma Res in the morning or I have a second CP Package ressie for Nine Dragons. Should we stick with this CP Package over the Thursday one?

Sunday: MVMCP. I would LOVE to get a BOG reservation for about 4 p.m. but realistically this may not happen so what else should we look at in the MK?

Monday: Kona Res in the morning or perhaps WCC since it's our fave resort?


I feel like I'm missing some good restaurants but I'm drawing a blank! Also, we've never eaten at Nine Dragons--DH loves Chinese--is it good?

If you cancel your CP lunch at Rose & Crown we had a great meal at Via Napoli and plan to go back. Rose & Crown was good but not great in our opinion but glad we tried it. Or Lecellier if you can get an adr. We were'nt thrilled with the choices in MK so we ate at Kona's for dinner on our MK day and it was great. We also like Mama Melrose in DHS. I hear Boma has one of the best breakfasts, but we've only had dinner there, but we had a great breakfast at Kona's loved the Tonga toast. Linda

We find Rose and Crown awful and by that I mean the food because everything else was nice. The food was not British so we felt like Disney had done it an injustice so to speak, because bangers and mash is delicious when done right! I would cancel R&C and choose another Epcot restaurant- there are so many fabulous options in Epcot.

unless we're planning a character meal when we eat inside mk it's usually at the plaza or sometimes ltt for lunch but don't like their dinner. mainly we head to one of the monorail resorts or if time allows boat over to wl and eat a much nicer sit down dinner.

i also don't really like any of the venues inside dhs with the exception of the brown derby. usually we head over to the boardwalk for flying fish or to the yacht club for yachtman's steakhouse.

i'd keep looking for an open adr for bog but don't hold your breath. we're passholders and only live 2.5 hours away so we decided to start looking for the first available adr to give to my adult daughter as a birthday gift...we got one for dinner at the end of january and i literally went through every day from the day they open and that was back on the 1st of september when i did that.

Thank you for the replies! How is Garden Grill for dinner? I was able to switch the CP package to either Garden Grill or Nine Dragons? Via Napoli and Teppan Edo was booked those were our first choices.
