Dining suggestions?

[AprilRenee]

I have a question for you all about dining for our next trip.

I we have the regular dining plan for our next trip. We have 5 TS credits. I currently have ADRs for:
50's prime time cafe
Le Celier
Garden Grill
Tony's Town Square
and Kona Cafe breakfast

I'm set on the first 4 but the only reason I wanted to do Kona breakfast was to try Tonga Toast. However, I have realized that I can get Tonga Toast for $6 oop at the CS location at the Poly. So now I'm considering just doing a CS breakfast for the Tonga Toast and using the TS for another lunch or dinner. But I need suggestions for 1 more lunch/dinner!! Do any of you have suggestions? I looked at Ohana but the thought of lots of meat is not really appealing to me. Any other suggestions?

Are you looking for a meal at a resort or a particular park?

ETA: I don't see anything around AK. How about dinner at AKL at Boma or Sanaa?

I did the same thing when I realized I could eat Tonga Toast at the CS too. I suggest trying Boma at AKL. It's a great opportunity to visit the resort and try some different cuisine. I love their soups! I haven't tried Sanaa, but definitely want to soon!

Here are our current park days/dining plans. Maybe this will help.

Minnie Mum you have a good point about AK dining. The only thing is that I'm going to be pregnant and we aren't really planning on spending a lot of time at AK (since I can't ride any of the headliners and DH gets sick on them anyway). We'd like to see FOTLK, Nemo, and the Flights of Wonder show, maybe pop over to Rafiki's Conservation Station but that's really all we have planned for that park.
Our plan was to use that as a sleep in morning, get a late breakfast, and then head to the park til early afternoon and maybe hit DTD for dinner. I'll look at Boma and Sanaa and see what they offer. Thanks for the suggestion!

Monday -Arrival
Flight lands 12:13am (on Tuesday). I'm assuming we'll get to POP about 1:30am-ish maybe? I think I might have to nap that day!
So obviously we won't be eating dinner this day.
This evening is a Room Only reservation

Tuesday - UNIVERSAL
Eat at Studios
This evening is a Room Only reservation

Wed - UNIVERSAL
(Check out of POP and then back in with package/dining starting this morning)
Lunch at 3 Broomsticks
MK after Universal, open til 8p
CS for Dinner (don't really want to take time for an ADR this evening cause I know we're going to want to ride some rides since it'll be our first night in a Disney park)

Thursday -EPCOT
Le Celier for Lunch (2:50p)
CS for dinner

Friday – HOLLYWOOD STUDIOS
50’s Prime Time for lunch (11:30a)
Garden Grill for Dinner (7:15p)

Saturday – ANIMAL KINGDOM, then something else, probably DTD
Kona for Breakfast (10a) (this is the one I'm thinking about changing)
Wolfgang Puck for dinner (CS credit)

Sunday – OPEN for whatever park we want in the AM, MK in PM
Tony’s for dinner (5:30p)
then to MK for the night

Monday - HOME
12:05p flight (ME pick up about 9am-ish)

Kona for dinner has been very good. We also love Cape May for the crab leg buffet.

Maybe change your DTD CS to Raglan Road or Cap'n Jacks if you want to stay in that area? I still think taking the bus to AKL from DTD to try out one of those restaurants would be great, but I understand if you don't want to!

Thanks! I look at both of those with DH!

Good suggestion...but there will be no way I can convince DH to skip WPE! He LOVES it. Our last trip we went there twice! haha! It's probably our favorite restaurant in all of WDW.

Wow! I guess so!

I'm not sure where you will fit in another dinner then, so you could do breakfast at Boma before hitting AK on Saturday. OR have breakfast at AK that day at Tusker House for Donald's breakfast safari...

I think I might have just figured out how to switch it up.

Leave EP and go to WPE for dinner on Thursday (since we will be back at EP the next day for a dinner and EMH)
OR
WPE on Sunday for lunch before heading to MK for dinner and EMH

THEN we can do dinner at Boma on Saturday after an afternoon at AK. The crowd calender for that day is only a 0.5 out of 10 for AK so I figure we can just arrive at noon or 1, see the 3 shows we want to see and then head over for dinner. That gives us the morning to rest or hit another park.
(I actually already just went ahead and made an ADR for Boma for Saturday...haha! I figure I can cancel if DH doesn't like the menu. But he's pretty much up for doing whatever I think is best so we'll probably be good! )
