We have been to Coral Reef many times. Sometimes the food is great, other times we wonder why we are paying these rediculous prices for poor service and food that is nearly inedible. We keep going back, though, because our grandkids love it.
When the dining plan first started, Coral Reef was a 2 credit restaurant (and CRT was one credit). They switched the two pretty rapidly. There is an old DDP brochure floating around on the 'net that has Coral Reef as two credits, and every once in awhile someone digs it up and panics. Disney was correct when it determined that Coral Reef was not worth 2 credits, and I doubt it'll go back to that.
I think the kids going with us will like it because they get to look at the fish. I'm not too much worried about the noise. If the food is just ok, that's still fine with me. We might be doing the Dining Plan, so that's why I'm looking into it. If it weren't for that, I probably wouldn't go because of the prices.
