Can someone help me with my dining choices?

[carebee21]

I'm not really up to date on what restaraunts are good or bad so here are the reservations we have. If anything is awful, or you think something is better that I should try to swap out, can you give me a heads up? Also, I have two more table service credits I need to use, so I'm looking for recommendations for either breakfasts or dinners! Thanks!!!

Le Cellier Dinner
Hoop De Doo
Crystal Palace Dinner
Kona Cafe Dinner
Yak & Yeti Dinner

I think you have some great entertaining places listed. If you are looking for something to do with the two credits you have left I would recommend a signature place like California Grill or Narcoossee. This would make a great mix to what you already have. You have some great character places, and HDDR is our family fav. Have fun!

are you checking in on the 22nd January and checking out on Feb 2? If so, that's 11 nights so you only have 11 table service credits...credits are apportioned according to number of nights you're in the hotel, not the total days you're on property. If you are really there just 11 nights, then you've actually used all your credits with this schedule...though you only have 10 restaurants listed, the Hoop De Doo Revue takes 2 credits per person so that accounts for 11 credits total.

If you are there through the night of 2/2 (checking out on 2/3) so would have one more credit, I would figure out which park you're going to be at the night & choose a restaurant close to or in that park to have a more relaxed last night (no running here & there to get to a restaurant & then back to park for one last hurrah.)

Like your choices, otherwise,...have been to most of these (though we did more dinners than breakfasts...prefer big dinners & light breakfasts in our family.) If you're trying to maximize character experiences, this line-up looks good Do like your more "adult" choices...Le Cellier & Kona Cafe as well as Yak & Yeti are all great. We're not big buffet fans, but Cape May was acceptable.

Chef Mickey's in the Contremporary does brkfst, lunch & dinner.

Also, Boma at AK Logde is a REALLY good mix of African flavor and American food, too!

And b/c of my DD, age 7, we always have to do one princess meal,,,,either Cindereaal Royal Table ( 2 credits), The one in Norway at Epcot and/or 1900 Park Fare DINNER w/ Cinderella and royal family---

We're going to be checking in Jan 21 and checking out Feb. 3. After looking at flight prices and times, we added an extra night to our reservation , so we'll have 13 credits. We're going to be at Universal for two days, so we'll have a couple extra credits from not eating onsite those days. We're pretty easy going. As long as there is meat, dh is happy. DS is kind of picky but it looks like most restaraunts have something simple on the kids menu and I'll eat just about anything. DS would be happy with character meals everyday, but I'm trying to mix those with other meals. I've been looking at it looks like WCC might be good, or just using both credits for maybe the Spirit of Aloha show??? We thought about using the credits for a signature dining meal but most of those look like nicer restaraunts and I worry about my very hyper son getting bored and not sitting quietly or nicely ...

Do you have a car? If so, some of the resort restaurants have some good food, and it's a fun way to see what other resorts look like. We've had good meals at the Maya Grill at Coronado Springs (gorgeous restaurant, like being in a Mayan temple...strolling guitar player. Food is Mexican-themed, but steaks & such.) Also like Olivia's at Old Key West resort, again good steaks/fish on the menu. Turf Club at Saratoga Springs is good, and lovely view of the lake at Downtown Disney....same with Wolfgang Puck Cafe in the Westside/Downtown Disney. Really like the Grand Floridian Cafe...beautiful resort, nice restaurant (not stuffy, definitely a family restaurant) Great steaks on that menu too. Captain's Grill at Yacht Club is good, too. Biergarten is fun...buffet meal, with entertainment (German oompah band...kind of like going to a German wedding, lol...little kids out on the dance floor trying to polka.)

Thanks for the recommendations everyone We're going to have a car for part of the trip but I have no problem getting on the buses and resort hopping. In fact I left a few days so I could do just this, as last time we didn't have time and I had wished I had more time to see the other resorts. Those places all sound yummy!!! I think I'm leaning toward the Maya Grill.
