Dining in Disney Springs

[GOOFY4DONALD]

I'm looking for some opinions on Disney Springs. We are planning on spending an afternoon and evening at DS. We haven't been to DS since 2014 and it was mostly under construction. We have eaten at house of blues quite a few times and also earl of sandwich. We are trying to decide if we want to try something new. What are your favorite TS and QS meals. We are on the dining plan so we are wanting to keep it at 1 credit but are open to most anything else.
What are your favorites?

I haven't eaten there, but a lot of people like Homecomin.

Our TS/QS at DS are Raglan Road for TS and Cooke's of Dublin or Earl of Sandwich for QS. We've not tried any of the new ones such as the Boathouse or Homecoming but I've heard good things.

Morimoto Asia is great and is 1 credit for Lunch and Brunch I think, not sure about dinner.

Wolfgang Puck Grand Cafe is also fantastic and has an extremely diverse menu.

Homecomin was delicious. When I went to Raglan Road, it was completely packed and I couldn't see the dancers from my table, and the food wasn't good enough for me to want to go back.

If you are going after July Puck Cafe may be closed. Puck is openning a new restaurant near the Coke store next year. The West Side location is going to be a Spanish restaurant by Chef Jose Andres.( as per www.wdwmagic.com)
Also Puck's own website doesn't list the Cafe anymore the only restaurant it shows in Orlando is the Express in the Marketplace.

My new favorite is definitely Morimoto....but an old stand by is raglan Road.....from what I hear "the Observatory" may be just as bad as Planet Hollywood

I like stopping by the food trucks. Maybe not the most economical, but you can get a variety of things, and each one we had was really, really good. We sat and listened to some music outside while eating.

For desert, a ridiculously overpriced Ghirardelli sundae!

I didn't realize that Jaleo was taking over WPGC....

Although that would have been quite a few Wolfgang Puck locations in the same place. Hope it can exceed how good WPGC is.

There are a lot of good options in Disney Springs nowadays -- a vast improvement over the old Downtown Disney. To me, Morimoto Asia stands out above the rest and would be my top recommendation.

I've also heard great things about the Polite Pig - we plan on going there for our next trip!

We've heard a lot of good things for the Boathouse so we are going to try that out for a early dinner. Homecoming is getting a lot of good reviews too. We did Raglan Road and had a blast! The dancers were entertaining and the food was good.

Homecomin' is amazing! We loved everything we tried. Good service, too - and we went when they were pretty much brand new!

Wolfgang Puck Express is awesome for counter-service. I really feel that that is great value. I also enjoy Earl of Sandwich for a counter service option.

Ghirardelli sundaes are delicious, too, but I don't think they are part of the dining plan. If you go, make sure to get something more exciting than just a plain scoop of ice cream or a cone. (It's just Edy's ice cream, I think...) The real fun is getting some chocolate sauce, a cookie, or a brownie with your ice cream. Yum!

We only went to Disney Springs for one evening, so I can only give my opinion on Frontera Cocina - it was delicious! So many good choices on the menu, great service. We would return. (We wanted to try Homecomin' but couldn't get a reservation for a decent time.)

Frontera Cucina is excellent! Decent variety on the menu, good service, and reasonable prices (for Disney table service). Real authentic Mexican food.
