Been to both. Love both. Both are pricey, but the food is excellent, and the service is usually top notch. My latest FF review (November 2007) is on my thread on the review board. You can use the search function to find it, if you want alot more details.

BlueZoo will have less kids, and will be less crowded. Flying Fish takes the DDE discount card, and is on the DDP (2 TS credits). If you try a walk-up, you are more likely to get into BlueZoo than FF.

I believe the the menu at BlueZoo is a bit more 'exotic' and 'cutting edge', and they have a better bread basket. The littleneck clams flatbread appetizer is wonderful, if you like garlic.

Considering the DDE discount, FF gets the nod for us. If not for that, it would be a coin toss.

I'm biased, as I've never tried BlueZoo. But the Flying Fish is an absolute favorite of ours. We've eaten here many times and have never been disappointed. Ironically, it has the best steak (in my humble opinion) on the property.

Whichever you choose, be sure to write a review!

We have been to both several times and would consider it a toss-up. As Robert P mentioned the DDE card makes a difference so we also go to FF more often. I also second the clam flatbread at BZ (it's like Frank Pepe's pizza!)

We have been to BlueZoo but not to Flying Fish. The dinner DH and I had at BlueZoo was the best meal I have ever had in WDW. I loved it! The meal, the environment, the desert, the service. We loved it!

I've been to both. Blue Zoo is definitely trendier and flashier than Flying Fish, but I think Flying Fish is better. The prices are similar (although I think BZ is a little more expensive than FF). The food at FF is great.

At BZ, if you're not careful you can end up eating dinner with a bunch of people attending conventions eating on expense accounts. They're loud, can be obnoxious, and the guys are usually focused on hitting on the female convention attendees. That's what I tended to observe (my wife and I stayed at the Dolphin for two weeks in October... saw several conventions come and go). The atmosphere at FF was a little more Disney and a little more fun. If you don't care about that, by all means BZ is a great place to eat.

We went to Flying fish. True the service is excellant. We had a man from Ita. We enjoyed the fish also. Our waiter was funny and very good.

Robert P has spoken for me!!
And as quikslvr says, IF there is a large meeting/convention going on at the Dolphin/SWan, Blue Zoo can occasionally get crowded with loud, boisterous expense account groups. That happened to us one time out of the 4 we've eaten there, and it was a pretty miserable evening---.
