Just wondering where everyone chose/is choosing to dine on your Disneymoon?

We are tentatively planning the following:

Artist's Point: Never been there but we are staying at the WL, so we wanted to give it a try.

Hoop De Doo Revue: Never been, always wanted to try it. We are debating on whether to get the first tier seating or not.

San Angel Inn: The Mexico Ride is one of my all-time favorites and I have always wanted to eat there I've heard the food is just so-so, but we don't care-we tend to go to WDW restaurants for the theming!!

Teppan Edo: DF has been wanting to try this one for a while now!

Still deciding on an MK meal-we are thinking of either Crystal Palace or Tony's. We've been to both before (though we've only done CP for breakfast)

Also still deciding on a dinner spot for DHS-we've done the 50's PTC a bunch of times. We may do it again, but try a lunch this time.

So, what is/was on everyone else's lists for dining??
 
I just made our ADR's this weekend, here is where we will be dinning!:

California Grill on the first night with family and friends. Never been and super excited!

Kona Cafe the next morning, we always eat breakfast here, we LOVE the tonga toast!

The morning of the wedding I will be dinning at the Grand Floridian Cafe with my MOH and mom before we start getting ready!

Citricos, just me and DF the night after the wedding.

Jiko with the MOH and BM the following night.

Artist Point on our last night.

We LOVE Hoop-De-Doo (especially DF), but just went in December so were gonna skip it this time. I wouldn't pay extra for the first tier seating. Once we booked third tier and got seated in first because it wasn't that crowded (9:30 show), and the other time we booked third tier our seats were just fine, you can see the stage from anywhere and the performers move around the room too. I agree about San Angel Inn. I only ate there once and did not like the food, but the atmosphere is amazing. My suggestion: Get a few margaritas and some nachos. You still get the atmosphere without spending lots of money on entrees you won't like.
 
I highly recommend V&A's, it was worth every single penny we spent! The food was just amazing and the service was outstanding. :thumbsup2

We also ate at Jiko, which again had great food and service. The lighting made it really romantic and the Animal Kingdom lodge is just awesome anyway.

Other than that, I'd recommend Ohana's and Le Cellier Steakhouse we just couldn't get a reservation for either and when we spoke to Disney staff they said they were both incredibly popular and with good reason. This was proven when we happened to be at the Poly 30 minutes before Ohana opened and the line was already incredibly long. There must be something good going on in there : )

There are also a few dinner and firework packages you could take a look into.

Have a great time planning.
 
I think my fiancé and I have finally decided on what places we are hoping to book. This is what we came up with:

Night we arrive:
Narcoossee's

Magic Kingdom (2 days):
Cinderella's Royal Table
Tony's Town Square

Epcot (2 days):
Coral Reef
Akershus
Chefs de France

DHS (1 day):
Still considering, thinking maybe Sci-Fi for the fun theming

AK (1 day):
We decided not to have a TS meal here as nothing really appealed to us, and head to DTD that evening - either House of Blues or T-REX (again, I love the theming of places and we've been to the Rainforest Cafe and loved it)

Other:
Kouzzina at the boardwalk
 

Here are our ADRs. The wedding is on a Tuesday.

Sunday: Sci fi with my parents and godmother
Monday: Garden View Tea Room for a ladies' tea
Thursday: Garden Grill with DF's mom
Saturday: Breakfast at 1900 Park Fare just me and DF
Wednesday of following week: Jiko just me and DF


We are only staying on property Monday-Friday of wedding week. Then, we will be off property the following week.
 
My fave places to dine are CRT, Narcoossee's, California Grill, Jiko and Shula's at the S and D. We dined at all of these on our disneymoon and they made it really special for us. Just rememeber to add a celebration when you make your reservation.
 
We are also going for our Honeymoon! :goodvibes Do you just regular dining? We are going to splurge and do the Deluxe Dining! We can't book until May 16th, but this is what we have so far! We are staying for 8 days!

I love Teppan Edo, especially if you like sushi. Its great!

Does anyone know where i can find more info on the Garden View Tea room? I think i want to do a Bridesmaids & Moms tea there :) TIA!

We are also not forgetting Cinderellas Royal Table on our honeymoon. Our honeymoon will be DF's first big trip down to Disney. I just have to request the main dining room and not the "intimate level" where you cant see the Fairy Godmother and such!
