Best Table Service Restaurants & Itinerary help

[Kirstyn]

Hi. I am hopefully booking our first Disney trip set for July this week. I will be making ADR's at that time. We are a family of 4,3 adults and a teen. We will have the deluxe dining plan. We will be there for 4 days and would like to have breakfast before we leave on the 5th day. We know for sure we want to eat at wolf Gang Puck, artist point,spirit of Aloha, a steakhouse, an Italian restaurant,Japanese hibachi,, and a Mexican restaurant. Would also like to dine at a theater show and somewhere in Animal Kingdom at one of the less exotic flavor restaurants, but where we can still see animals from our table. I'm staying at Wilderness Lodge but will have the park hopper. Can someone please help me figure out which restaurants to book, and possibly give a sample dining itinerary based off of those restaurants. I would prefer early lunches and later dinners with breakfast two days (2nd and 5th days) I really appreciate the help. Thank you!

Spirit of Aloha is a theater show. If you want another entertainment type meal, Hoop de Doo is a fun one. Other than that, there aren't any theater type shows. Restaurants in Animal Kingdom do not have any animals you can see from the windows. You can go to Animal Kingdom Lodge and dine at Sanaa and see animals out the windows, but that is a fairly exotic flavor restaurant. Will you have park tickets on that 5th day or do you need to eat outside the parks?

Planning an itinerary is going to be difficult. Artist Point and Spirit of Aloha will "eat" up a lot of time away from the parks. Wolf Gang Puck is over at DTD, and with only four days, getting over there will also take time away from the parks.

Here's a start:

AK Day breakfast at Tusker House either before park opens or around 10:30-11:00 (which might be lunch) and then do either Artist Point of Spirit of Aloha that night.
MK Day lunch at Liberty Tree Tavern or Tony's Town Square (gets on/off reviews) and then do either Artist Point or Spirit on this night.
HS Day lunch or dinner at Hollywood Brown Derby (not one of your requests, but a good place), and then hop to EP for the other meal and choose one of the Italian, Teppan Edo, or La Hacienda.
EP Day do the other two Italian, Japanese or Mexican that you didn't do on your HS day.

Assuming you don't have park tickets for that 5th day, breakfast either at Wilderness Lodge, Ohana (Lilo, Stitch, Mickey, Goofy) or 1900 Park Fare (Pooh characters and Mary Poppins)
