Favourite eating places in WDW

[scottishsue]

Now that we are on the verge of signing up for the DVC tomorrow, I was wondering where everyone's favourite place to eat is.

Have spent hours and hours browsing the parks and their dining plans, but can't decide which I like best. DS and DH love their steaks !!

It will be interesting to find out the most popular restaurants.

I guess you may have missed the "food porn" thread over in the Restaurants boards... 2nd sticky on the page.. there's a drinks one too . Be careful if you do look at the photos as many of them will leave you drooling like Homer Simpson and make you crave Disney food even more almost all of the photos have details of what they were and what type of meal eg lunch/dinner /breakfast and at which restaurant.
At some of the character meals the food has become the same at many locations only the interaction and the atmosphere makes people want to go again but it's all personal preference, for us the best proper burger has to be at LTT lunch just soooo tasty and cooked to perfection . Don't know why but Disney just don't seem to be able to make real mashed potatoes like we have here it's

definatley going to get some mixed opinions on this one. For me, out of what I have experienced

best food: Bluezoo at Dolphin, Teppanyaki at Epcot, Crystal palace breakfast buffet, Boma, Raglan Road

best experience: Ohana breakfast / dinner ( think I love the Poly ) California Grill, 50s Prime Time


These are the ones I have really enjoyed, wish there was a list for the ones I didn't, its a bit longer

We just got back and can only really talk about food in parks, I've never managed to get to a resort restaurant, which is a shame as they are often raved about.

I loved the lunch buffet at Crystal Palace, the salads were fresh, the veggies crunchy, the salmon was slightly under cooked, just how I like it as opposed to everywhere else that dried it out (Mama Melroses). The carvery flank steak was juuuuuicy. This was the best meal I had in the parks.
The burgers at the sci-fi we rated well. Although not strictly disney the ribs at AK Rainforest cafe were melt in the mouth. My steak at Mama's was lovely (med/rare) but others in my party disliked their meals there. The food at the Akeshaus for the princess storybook lunch was a real surprise, my lamb was really nicely cooked.
My two girls (4 & 19mo) both lost quite a bit of weight whilst there, they didn't like the food, after two days of mac and cheese they were fed up, after splitting adults meals for them they were fed up. Never fussy eaters at home, I guess they missed their veggies and Mummy's cooking .
I thought counter service was poor, not only was the food awful at cosmic rays the 3 counter things really annoyed the hell out of us. Noodle house was poor. Beef Hot dogs......yuck!!! I enjoyed it when we had a big lunch booked, lovely disney snacks all afternoon then when back to the apt for a salad or sandwich, this suited me to a tee.

Crystal Palace is our fave for Character Lunch

Main Sreet bakery serves IMHO the best coffee in all the parks, and i love their breakfast croissants for a quick and tasty breakfast

Brown Derby and 50's Prime time Cafe in MGM

Rainforest Cafe at DTD, Ghirardellis at DTD for Dessert

Beaches and cream for their huge Dessert menu (my fave is the orange sorbet0

And we ALWAYS have a funnel cake outside the American pavillion at EPCOT

Hee hee me too... I didn't even know what one was when we got in line! Right before seeing Survivor perform live. Can't beat that...

Anyway! We ate at the Teppanyaki Tearooms in Japan... it was awesome and all the food is cooked in front of you. And very healthy! For our only healthy meal of the holiday...
