This is going to be my first time doing the meal plan and would love to hear what your favorite restaraunt is in each park. I know everyone has their own preference but would love to hear about some. We are going with 3 girls ages 12, 11 and 4. Thanks!
 
I LOVE THESE....
50s prime time (DHS)
YAk n Yeti (AK)
 
Epcot: LeCellier
DHS: Brown Derby
AK: Tusker House
MK: Nothing we're crazy about so this is our counter service park.
 
Magic Kingdom: For Table service, I'd suggest hopping on the monorail to the Grand Floridian to 1900 Park Fare's Princess meals or to the Contemporary to Chef Mickey's or even Ohana’s at the Polynesian. My kids always want to go to Chef Mickey’s each trip. My suggestion for in the Park would be Crystal Palace with for a Pooh, Tiger, etc. We had a great breakfast there last year - we made it for the first seating so we got to go into the park before official opening - Main Street was empty, it was very cool. We ate at Pinocchio Village Haus last year for lunch and enjoyed watching the boats take off at “It's a Small World” ride - there some tables that overlook the ride. We also like eating at Cosmic Ray's Starlight Cafe for the variety.

Epcot: This is tougher... for Table Service, if you like seafood, the Coral Reef. Chefs de France is lovely, Norway (Akershus) has princess meals. My youngest daughter loves Chip and Dale so we'll be eating at the Garden Grill in the Land. The restaurant slowly spins around as you eat. For lunch/counter service, we like Sunshine Seasons in the Land or we like going over to the World Showcase and sharing a meal from different countries counter service places.

DHS: Table service: Either the Sci Fi or 50's Prime Time, leaning towards 50's Prime Time with the girls. For counter service, my kids like Pizza Planet for the Toy Story theme or the Backlot Express. If you want to do Fantasmic, there are 3 places you can eat at and get priority seating for the show... we did Hollywood and Vine last year for this reason.

Animal Kingdom: For table service... instead of eating in the park, we take a bus over to Animal Kingdom Lodge and eat at Boma's. Flame Tree Barbecue or Pizzafari for lunch in the park.

No mater what, you’ll want to go back for more! Good luck and enjoy!
 

MK: Crystal Palace - great character lunch which is not as expensive as doing their dinner, but has dinner food.
& also The Plaza Restaurant - great sit-down restaurant that is a break from the craziness & heat of the park...yummy sandwiches & shakes! We go every trip.

HS: Sci-Fi Dine In...fun & unique atmosphere of 50's drive-in where you sit in old fashioned cars & watch old clips of movie trailers.

Epcot: no favorites for us here...though we are trying Tutto Italia for the 1st time this trip coming up in Aug.

AK: our kids love the Rainforest Cafe
 
Epcot: TS-Rose and Crown (the view for Illuminations), CS-pastries in France

MK: CS: Pecos Bills

HS: TS: Brown Derby

AK: No favs as of yet
 
MK: TS - Tony's Town Tavern, CS Columbia Harbor HOuse (and go upstairs to eat)

DHS: TS -Brown Derby, CS - Backlot Express

Epcot: TS - Le Cellier, CS - Bakery in Norway

AK: Tusker House, Flame Tree BBQ
 
Magic Kingdom: The Plaza

DHS: Sci Fi Diner

Epcot: Le Cellier

Animal Kingdom: Tusker House

(Tusker House is the best meal I've had in the parks)
 
HUGELY subjective here, but here goes:

MK
TS - Crystal Palace (or any number of spots on the monorail, esp. Kona)
CS - Columbia Harbor House

Epcot
TS - Chefs de France
CS - Sunshine Seasons

DHS
TS - 50's Prime Time for 1 TS, Brown Derby for 2
CS - Nothing outstanding, but ... uh ... Backlot Express is OK

AK
TS - Yak and Yeti
CS - Flame Tree
 
Our favorites:

Magic Kingdom - Crystal Palace
Epcot - Akershus (breakfast)
DHS - Brown Derby
AK - Tusker House
 
MK:
CS: Tie between Columbia Harbour House & Main St. Bakery
TS: Crystal Palace breakfast

Epcot:
CS: Tangierine Cafe (Morocco)
TS: Biergarten (Germany)

DHS:
CS: Pizza Planet
TS: 50's Prime Time Cafe

DAK:
CS: Pizzafari
TS: None in particular, but I've been wanting to try Tusker House
 
Our Faves:

MK: TS- Monorail to Chef Mickeys, or eat at Crystal Palace
CS- Caseys on Main Street, Pecos Bill, or Columbia Harbour House depending where
in the park we are.

Epcot: TS- Le Cellier
CS- Anywhere in the World Showcase, but we really like pastries in France and
the CS in Mexico, China, and Japan

DHS: TS- 50's Primetime Cafe
CS- None

AK: TS- Tusker House
CS- Pizzafari
 
MK: Crystal Palace
Epcot: Tepan Edo
DHS: 50's Prime Time
AK: Rainforest Cafe

But I like some of the other posters' ideas of taking the monorail over to a resort and eating at one of those restaurants, or taking a bus to AKL and eating at Boma!
 
We did the dining plan our last trip for the first time and we liked the following:

MK-Tony's Town Square
Epcot- Le Cellier (but we also LOVED the Tangerine Cafe for CS lunch)
AK-I really liked Tusker House although no one else in my party did
DHS-50s Prime Time Cafe
