Disney Dining Experiences - Help needed!

[MrsSparrow..]

Hey UK DISers, a question coming from a long-time lurker!

I'll quickly describe my situation. I've been on many many trips to the world and have planned many of the last few, with the next trip HOPEFULLY taking place in July/August 2011. However, when it comes to dining at the world, I honestly do not have a clue! And this is where I require a little help.

Usually we tend to dine outside the parks, preferring to go onto international drive (it also helps that it saves a few $$!). However, I've tried to convince my parents of the lovely restaurants in the world, but they've always been concerned about the price, so we haven't been to many. Therefore, any information on dining in the world is appreciated (we are off-site guests, so DDP doesn't come into account here).

Which leads me to my question and if anyone could give some possible suggestions, I'd be very grateful!

1. My mum and step-dad are getting married later this month (the reason we are not going to the world this year!) and for their wedding present, I want to book and pay for their dinner at a Disney theme-park restaurant, as I want it to remain a surprise until the actual day. And I was hoping that some of you may have some suggestions as to the best dining experience you have had in the theme parks?

Any suggestions on restaurants would be very helpful! I think I'm looking at spending around $150? Is that correct?

Thank-you

It would be a great help if you could give some idea as to what sort of meal you want to get for them.
There are buffet meals, character meals, signature restaurants and themed restaurants.
For the figure you are suggesting you will probably be able to into somewhere like California Grill or similar. I don't know how much Albert and Victorias is but that is more of a formal affair than anywhere else in the World.
With a little bit more information you will get all the answers you need
