My best friend and I did a girl's getaway in November. Our favorites were Tiffins, the Wave, and Le Cellier.

I would consider Cali Grill. The view of MK and the fireworks is spectacular. You can also see the EP and DHS fireworks from there. I would also consider Capa at the Four Seasons - the food is good and the view, again, is stunning. If you go to Cali Grill, perhaps start with a monorail crawl - you could start at Trader Sam's to see the special effects and antics, perhaps go to Mizner's at GF, then end at Cali Grill.

I would also consider doing a restaurant at DS (we like Boathouse and Morimoto. Raglan Road would be fun as well) and a restaurant in the Boardwalk area (if you aren't on the dining plan, consider dining at a Swan/Dolphin restaurant, particularly bluezoo, Il Mulino or Kimono's. If you are on the dining plan, consider Flying Fish on the Boardwalk). You can then enjoy the entertainment on the Boardwalk, go to JellyRoll's and Atlantic Dance Hall as well.

What are you looking for? A bit sophisticated or fun/casual?

Upscale - Citricos at GF, Tiffins at AK, Yachtsman Steakhouse at YC, Brown Derby at DHS
Fun Casual - San Angel Inn at Epcot, Teppan Edo (Hibachi) at Epcot, Spirit of Aloha or HDDR dinner shows
Party girls - Bongos, Disney Springs, Trader Sams - Poly (liquid dinner!!), House of Blues and Raglan Road - Disney Springs

We did Cape May, 50s PT, Raglan, HDDR.

Tried for Trader Sam's, we went about 5 pm. Had two drinks at the outside bar waiting for a table inside, of course, I got the ready text just as we needed to leave for HDDR.

Bongos would be so much fun for dinner for a girls trip. I was there in September for my honeymoon and we did Bongo's our 1st night. What a fun party vibe this place has. The food was delicious too.

Todd English Blue Zoo at Dolphin/Swan is also a great experience if you like seafood. Interesting decor and the location is awesome. From here, after dinner, you can walk to the Boardwalk and catch dueling pianos at Jellyrolls, beer flight at Big River Grille, cocktails on the Balcony at the Bellevue room. ESPN zone is also there if anyone is interested in catching a game and if drinking isn't the think, there is also the Ample Creamery for dessert.

While in AK, we love Yak and Yeti. We do the TS location for dinner every trip.

We didn't make it to The Boat House but we had seen some great reviews of this location at DS.

The only one I would avoid for a meal is the Edison. I had read mixed reviews and thought we'd give it a try anyways. Well, it was awful. I ordered salmon that came so overdone that it was crunchy. The service was terrible too. It's a cool looking place that has a fun vibe so I'd probably try it again but only stopping in for cocktails and entertainment.

My sister and I had ADRs at Sci Fi and Biergarten for nostalgia, and got a same day adr for Coral Reef because we were starving (and the meal ended up being surprisingly delicious), but some of my favorites were the HBD Lounge, the Wave Lounge, Trader Sam’s, and Baseline Taphouse for good beer.

Our favorites are:

Breakfasts - Crystal Palace, Tusker House, Cape May, Whispering Canyon Cafe, Trail’s End, and Boma.

Lunches - Liberty Tree Tavern, Coral Reef, Hollywood Brown Derby, and Tutto Italia.

Dinners - BOG, Tony’s, Chefs, Le Cellier, 50’s PTC, The Edison, and Boma.

So many great options. Table service faves include, in no particular order, Jiko, Bluezoo, Flying Fish, Yachtsman, Boathouse, Raglan Road, California Grill, Capa (Four Seasons). But outside the ADR system, would strongly advocate for a DIY monorail crawl - get to explore resorts, shop, and try food. A “crawl” around Disney Springs is fun too.

In no particular order: Kimono’s (karaoke is fun even if you’re just watching, sushi is amazing plus other apps and great bar); Frontera Cocina (great Mexican food and service); California Grill (brunch or dinner); Sanaa for lunch (bread service and drinks is a great break from AK day); and Hollywood Brown Derby lounge (apps and drinks while at Studios). Bonus choices: Tutto Gusto at Epcot and Baseline Taohouse at Studios.

My top contenders would be the CG brunch for the variety of delicious noshes, choice of entrees, and view. The Bloody Mary are an appetizer in itself and unlimited sparkling wine cocktails fun. Shouldn't forget the trio of musicians for just the right atmosphere.

Morimoto for dinner or lunch could be fun with a group of adults. Order one less entree than the amount of guests in your party and share. The Peking duck, sushi and sashimi towers, ribs, and Singapore laksa noodle soup are all quite good and easy to share.

Flying Fish serves both gifts from the sea as well as beef and chicken so something for most anyone. The desserts are divine and worth the extra calories.

Geyser Point lounge-great burgers and small plates, scenic views and mixed drinks. I'm currently enamored with the black cherry mule. This became our go to place when visiting MK over the December holidays. So laid back.

Broadway Bakery has some yummy looking sandwiches for a casual meal over looking the Boardwalk.

Wine Bar George. We spent our NYE there and it was an adults delight both for the wine and food. Limited eating menu but all good.
