Christmas Eve & Christmas Day 2008

[bp traveler]

We want to have a sit down dinner on either of these nights we are looking at Magic Kingdom and Epcot - I think I can make reservations 180 days out but I am having a hard time reading reviews since I dont' know all the abbreviations of the restaurants!!

Could someone give us a recommendation.

Also our first day we get in late so we just want to eat in DT Disney - what is good here? Need options other than just sea food dh doesn't like anything that swims!

Thanks

This might help you - the restaurant listings for Christmas 07. http://www.allearsnet.com/menu/men_christmas.htm

How many in your party? Any kids? What are their fave characters? Do you want to be in the MK on Christmas? (the park often closes due to large crowds so if you want to stay there, I would make a reservation for a restaurant inside the park so you don't have to leave and risk not getting back in)

As far as downtown Disney - do you want table service or counter service? If you're getting in late, you may want to eat quicker and get back to your hotel.

I really like Wolfgang Puck Express, which has a location at Marketplace and West End (both ends of Downtown Disney). Here is the menu: http://www.allearsnet.com/menu/menu_wpe.htm It's counter service.

Earl of Sandwich is decent sandwiches/soups/etc with a nice dining area - menu: http://www.allearsnet.com/menu/menu_eofs.htm

Cooke's of Dublin is irish inspired counter service, next door to Raglan Road the pub: http://www.allearsnet.com/menu/men_cook.htm

recommend liberty tree tavern and le cellier. I'd get the candlelight processional when you go to epcot.
