Hi folks,

Well I decided to go ahead and get the Dining plan. Here is a list of our ADRs. Let me know if you would change anything. All are dinners except Le Cellier. These are for 2 adults and 3 teens in June.

Wolf Gang Cafe
Liberty Tree Tavern
Concourse Steakhouse
50's Prime Time Cafe
Le Cellier (lunch)
Boma
Maya Grill
Kona Cafe

Thanks,
Rick
 
You have some great choices!

The only thing I see missing is a place in the Boardwalk area .. like Spoodles. It is a great area to walk and explore. Your teens may like the games and ESPN Club.

I would suggest Spoodles over Concourse.
 
They look great! I haven't been to all of them but can tell you that WPC, Kona, & Lecellier, are our top 3 favorites. LTT & 50's prime time are great for entertainment as well as food. Have a great trip!
 
We have only been to three on your list but here goes

LeCellier- Great. We liked it alot and my wife and I cant wait to go back.

50's PT Cafe- Alot of fun. Food is average not bad not great, but if you go there with a good attitude and let the servers do there thing you will have a good time.

Concourse Steakhouse- We didnt like it and dont plan to go back. We didnt care for the food. It wasnt bad but just didnt do it for us. The service was fine and everything but its just not a place we plan on going back to. I guess for us it was the atmosphere. While it was neat seeing the monorail go by, I felt like all I was looking at was the hallways of a hotel when it wasent.
 

I'd recommend changing the Concourse Steakhouse to the California Grill. They are both in the same location, but if you reserve at the right time you can enjoy the fireworks from the Magic Kingdom at the same time from up there on the 20th floor. And the meal is much better at the California Grill.

Enjoy.
 
We also had lunch at Le Cellier and loved it! Spoodles as someone else posted was nice -- and we were able to see fireworks at Epcot from the Boardwalk.
 
Rick, We've been to three of the restaurants you've chosen. Here's our reviews of each:

Liberty Tree Tavern - our families fav lunch place. There are no characters at lunch but more importantly there is pot roast which is wonderful. I keep trying to get my family to do dinner there but they refuse (it's a pot roast thing!)

50's Prime Time Cafe - kids loved it here. They really enjoyed our servers antics especially when he fed me my salad (evidently I wasn't eating fast enough) Not excellent cuisine but a good server makes the difference here.

Boma - AKL is a beautiful hotel but we didn't realized how seasoned the food was here. Neat place but we won't return --- food wasn't our cup of tea. Desserts were good though and I know lots of people love Boma.

Have a great trip!

Your family will love 50's Primetime, it is a fun place to eat. We also love eating at Le Cellier and Boma. In fact Boma is the only buffet we eat at WDW. :)
 
Try to look into OHANA's. I can not even tell you how great the meal is there. It is a very set menu though. You get a starter salad that is like a ceasar, no tomatoes with a fabulous dressing lime vinegrette (I don't usually like at all) and is the best salad I've ever had anywhere in my life. Then you get appetizers of Chicken wings sweet and sour my 5 year old son confiscated the entire plate and wouldn't share ! (the waiter had to bring more.. it's unlimited supply) and appetizer shrimp like a teryaki marinade which were great and I usually prefer scampi only but the shrimp were extra large and unlimited to die for. Then main course is marinated from the fire grill on skewers, steak, turkey, sausage, and I think a fourth was pork. We go a lot, so I now have my ordering down pat and just get the steak..... I don't fool around trying to pretend to like the other stuff when the steak is so good. And then as if it couldn't get any better they brought out this dessert a whole cake for the table, but again it's unlimited which was the BEST a pineapple breadpudding with Vanilla ice cream and tons of oozing CARAMEL and It was IMPOSSIBLY DELICIOUS. MY thoughts on BOMA.... We've been there twice, giving it more than a fair shot . But we walked away both times thinking "Why did we do this" The most normal thing there is a great prime Rib. I pushed myself to be open minded about new foods, and really tried to take myself out of my comfort zone and tried things that seemed fun and popular and couldn't lie to myself that I thought it was great. There really isn't good enough signs to tell you what's in the dish they want you to try. There was also a great seafood type of chowder soup with shrimp in it that I had seconds of. So here we have prime rib, and a good soup. That's really it. Desserts we're satisfactory. Everything they offered seemed to be doused in this same type of flavoring spice, can't recall..... but it kind of made everything taste similiar. EEEHHH? consider changing Boma to ohana.
 
We also have only been to three on your list.

50's Prime Time - the experience varies with the wait staff, but it's still a fun atmosphere. We enjoyed the fried chicken the most and next time I want to try the fried boursin cheese appetizer.

Le Cellier - we were there for dinner. Great food.

Boma - a must do every trip. Loved it all - soups, salads, main dishes, desserts. Excellent opportunity to try a wide variety of interesting foods.

Kona Cafe - have only been there for breakfast and lunch, but it's on my dinner list for our next trip. I love this restaurant with excellent food.

I haven't been to the Concourse Steakhouse. The atmosphere hasn't appealed enough to me to give it a try. Have friends who have enjoyed their meals there very much. I agree with another poster re California Grill instead. Had a fabulous meal! I'm not too familiar with the dining plan - CG may be more "points"(?)

Look forward to your reviews when you return!!

I'm also curious about Maya Grille. Any thoughts or reviews?
