Hoping you guys can help me with some CS suggestions. We are a large group travelling and I wanted to do some cards up with ideas of where to grab some decent CS food. I don't want to spend ages deciding where to eat only to end up with terrible food. (We did this at DCA once) All our TS ADR's have been made so its just CS that I need. I was hoping for ideas in each area. ie: MK, EPCOT, DHS, AK and DTD.
 
I like Casey's hot dogs in MK....and in Epcot I like the take out area at Morocco, Mexico, and the fish place in England...I truly prefer not to do take out at MGM and always just eat at Brown Derby, it is a family favorite. At AK, we love the Flame Tree BBQ, quick food and tasty. I also like the tea place in AK, but it is only tea and pastries....

Hopefully, some others will have some ideas for you. We usually prefer to do table service, and it is usually a decent breakfast, skip lunch, nice dinner..
 
In the MK, we don't have a real favorite but the edge would probably go to Cosmic Ray's, just for the entertainment.

In Epcot, the lower level of the Land has a lot of good choices.

In the Studio, we often go to the ABC commissary or the Backlot Express.

In AK, Flame Tree BBQ.

At DTD, most of the time its just a pretzel at Wetzle's pretzel, but the Earl of Sandwich is pretty good.
 
Colombia Harbour House in the MK is really good!!! They have fish and chicken and some other choices!!!! I can only comment on the chicken and fish, and they were really good!!!! We also liked Cosmic rays, and Peco bills. Both are also in the MK. Pretty good burgers at both locations!!!
 

These are our favorites...

MK -
Main Street Bake Shop for breakfast (great croissant sandwich)
Casey's, Pecos Bill, and Columbia Harbor House (my favorite) for lunch/dinner

Epcot -
Kringla Bakeri (Norway) and Boulangerie Patisserie (France) for brunch/lunch
Tangierine Cafe (Morocco) and Yorkshire County Fish Shop (UK) for lunch/dinner

MGM -
Starring Rolls Cafe and ABC Commissary for breakfast
Backlot Express and Flatbread Grill for lunch/dinner

AK -
Tusker House for breakfast or lunch/dinner (though it's turning into a table service soon, so this depends on your dates)
Flame Tree Barbecue for lunch/dinner

DTD-
Earl of Sandwich for lunch/dinner in the Marketplace
Cookes of Dublin for lunch/dinner in PI
Bongo's Cuban Cafe has a counter service window for lunch/dinner
 
DTD - WPE has a huge menu, something to please everyone. The food is awesome, the portions are huge and the prices are very reasonable.

MK - Cosmic Rays for the same reason as mentioned about. Soups, salads, sandwiches, burgers, chicken...they have it all

EPCOT - Sunshine seasons for the same reasons..there is so much to choose from here

AK - The only place we like here is Flame Tree BBQ

MGM - Dont like anything at this park
 
MK: the main street bakery- no wait and good food

Epcto: like someone else said the food court in the land. I also liked the sushin in Japan and the quick serve in Mexico

AK: Just a warning to stay away from the turkey legs. I've had them in MK before but these were gross

MGM: didn't really eat there

But we had the take out pizza at the Boardwalk quite a few times/ for $4.00 a slice it was a good disney deal. We stayed at the Swan so it was right around the corner.
 
Heres my favs!!

DTD: we never eat CS there but i hear the earl sandwhich is good and wolf gang express is decent

MK: COLUMBIA HARBOUR HOUSE hands down best ever. We had Caseys hot dogs and the place was out of control, we will not go back there unless it is empty inside lol

Epcot: Fish n Chips at England

MGM: Pizza Planet, which ppl tend to forget about. Seating is limited but if you go at an off time u should be okay but the pizza is awesome, salad, and mickey rice crispy is awesome and a nice change from fried foods

AK: Flame Tree BBQ and we sometimes go to the McD's place (forget the name) but its also pretty good, ur standard McDs food but Flame Tree you get tons for your money thats for sure and the chicken that I had was amazing!!

Enjoy, My mouth is watering as I'm typing this!!
 
We're no experts (novices really), but there were a few places we'd recommend based on our spring 2006 visit:

DTD: Wolfgang Puck Express - lots of choices, lots of food, very good

AK: Flame Tree BBQ - it was the first place DH and DS added to our CS list for December!! We've tried the ribs and chicken, and enjoyed both. Lots of food for the money!

MK: We liked both Pecos Bills and Casey's. If I recall correctly, PB has a great bar filled with toppings for your burgers. Someone else may know for sure. At Casey's, it can get crazy and seating was hard to come by but the prices are reasonable if you're paying OOP.

Epcot: We also enjoyed Tangierine Cafe and DS16 liked the brats at Somerfest? (in Germany).

Have a good trip!
 
These are just some suggestions of what we are going to do, or have done before at WDW:
MK- Pinocchio's, Cosmic Rays
AK- Pizzafari
Epcot- Electric Umbrella, food court @ The Land Pavillion
MGM- I have no idea for cs...
