Best Bang for the Buck?

[LoveThatDarnMouse]

I have 5 nights to book TSs and here's what I chose (for the moment )

Crystal Palace
Chef Mickeys
Le Cellier
Hollywood & Vine for Fantasmic package
Alfredo's in Italy

Anyone have any better choices (I don't really need two character meals honestly) I'd like to hit the big bucks places to get the biggest bang for the buck obviously.

Oh, and does any know if the Pirate Cruise at the Grand Floridian can count as a TS for my 5 y.o.?

those are two $$$ places, as well.

Kona in my opinion is one of the best at WDW. Not super pricey, but SOOOOOOOOO good.

O'Hana as well. Fun for kids if you have them.

So many to choose from. Haven't heard many good things about H&V lately, though.

Basically any buffet or pay one price meal isn't going to be the most expensive. Dinners where you order appetizer, entree and dessert separately are going to cost more and therefore be a better value. Personally, I prefer to eat where I want to eat and not try to choose what is most expensive, but I do understand the temptation, LOL.

If you must:

For your Fantasmic package Mama Melrose is going to be the more expensive choice.

Rather than Crystal Palace or Chef Mickey's you might choose Concourse Steakhouse, Kona Cafe or Whispering Canyon for dinner if you want to be near the Magic Kingdom. Wolfgang Puck Cafe or Spoodles are better yet if you don't need to be in the MK area. Coral Reef and Le Chefs at Epcot are also good values, as is Le Cellier but you already have that one.

There is a list on here somewhere for best value w/ ddp for all TS & CS restaurants. It is a great tool, I believe WPC & Les Chefs were on top. I will try to find the list w/ search....

That was easy! If you look under DDP FAQ's 2007 you can scroll to the bottom of that page & you will find the thread w/ the list I mentioned. I love these boards, so well put together!

Coral Reef was the most expensive restuarant that we ate at.

When you live with a CPA, you always try to get the most Bang for your Buck!

We decided that we would eat well and try places we might not get to try otherwise, so we are going to Coral Reef, Wolfgang Puck, Le Cellier, and Chef Mickey (well, I am taking a 4 year old!) because one meal at those places pays for the DDP (with what we will probably order).
