I'm only going to answer on those I can speak to from my own experience.

3/29 dinner at Beirgarten - One of the best IMHO. Can't wait to eat there ourselves in a few months.

3/31 dinner at Ohana - Was better the first time we went then the second, but I would try it again. Was great the first time.

4/1 breakfast at Kona - Good choice we love it too

4/2 Grand Floridian Tea - A favorite for the ladies in our group. It is not a trip to WDW without tea.

4/3 breakfast at Chef Mickey's - Was good last October when we were there, the food was all hot and fresh with good variety. The character interaction was fun, but they definitely focused on the kid and didn't interact with the adults much.
 
Love Biergarten, love Raglan Road. Love Crystal Palace, love Tusker House for bfast.
Now, these I have never been to...
Never been to Boma for bfast but I bet it is great!!
50's Prime Time gets mixed reviews by my good friends love it and they are moderately picky! Should be fun, going there myself in October.
All others seem like great choices and things I would choose too!! You must report back especially about GF Tea, Yak & Yeti and Tutto Italia. Looks like you have lots of new places to try!!
 
I promise to write a super detailed dining report when I get back with TONS of pictures.
 

My only comments are...

• In my experience, having tea at 2:00 and dinner at 6:30 is a bit close together...I would not be hungry by 6:30, and CP can be a LOT of food. Have never been to the GF tea, so perhaps it is lighter than the tea rooms in my area.

• You will be spending a lot of prime touring time in restaurants with your breakfast schedule. Don't know if this bothers you.

Have a great time!

I figured we would have tea and a snack, not eat too much. I was going to push back CP a bit but we have never been seated on time so I might just stick with it.

This is our lets chill and hang by the pool trip...we go often so we are not in a rush to do alot of park time. This could all change as the weather forecast for next week is showing alot of rain. Sitting in a restaurant for a bit might not be a problem...

My responses are in dark purple.
 
The places that I've been to that you've scheduled are:

WPE...Awesome! Great food! Went there 3 times last trip

Ohana..nice view, cute games for kids, very "rushed"/bad service...no,
not bad, they just were not good at refilling drinks and I am a
thirsty girl! Not bad.

Crystal Palace...I like it! Went for breakfast, which was good; great
character interaction; lovely setting.

Prime Time...we had a lot of fun here; reminds me of Ed Debevic's
here in Chicago; if you get a non-interactive server
you may not have as good of an experience; the
Smores dessert is VERY OVERATED BY DISBOARDERS.

Any time spent at WDW is AWESOME in my book, so I am just as happy with a burger at Pecos Bills as I am with a filet at LeCellier. The only really BAD meals I had at WDW were at Pizza Planet and Cosmic Ray's. Nasty!

I find I tend to enjoy the atmosphere of being within the World more than the food...people rave here on the Disboards, but in reality, I could find 100% better meals anywhere in Chicago. But I enjoy the joy of being there and the mostly awesome castmembers.

I think your choices are great and you will have fun!
 
We had the worst meal of our trip at the Captain's Grill. The service was awful. You may have better luck. The steak was okay.
 
We loved the Biergarten (beer!), Crystal Palace (pretty decent buffet and good character interaction, Chef Mickey's (always go there), and 50's Prime Time (the atmosphere was fun)!

We went to Tutto Italia when it was newly opened in November and it was awesome. And what a steal on the DDP!

I have';t been to the others mentioned, but sounds like a great plan!
Have fun!

Kim :)

I can't comment on them all, but breakfast at Boma is the BEST BREAKFAST EVER... anywhere... not just at WDW!

Dinner at 'Ohana is good, but if you don't have kids Kona is better! 'Ohana has really fun stuff for the kids during the meal, and the food is good.

Breakfast at Chef Mickey's is really, really fun. Lots of character interaction and a great selection of foods. We've always had good service too.
 
I can only share that our breakfast at Chef Mickey's was absolutely awesome. The characters interacted with the kids even while we waited to be seated and were even more fun during the meal. The music, napkin waving and dancing were wonderful. Oh yea there's food there too. Lots on the buffet, though I kind of got stuck at those 3 cheese eggs! They have Mickey waffles, pancakes, Krispy Kreme donuts (I think), fresh fruit and on and on. We ate a late breakfast and it held me until Spectro Magic.
 
Boma is a great a choice!! We have eaten there for breakfast many times and are always happy!! Breakfast is alot better than dinner in my opininon. So I would stick with that ADR!! As for Ohana, the last time I ate there was in 2003. I was very good and the characters were great but, many things have changed since 2003. We are planning to eat there once or twice since we will be staying at the Poly in July!!:banana: Crystal Palace is excellent!! We ate there on our trip and May and loved it. The food was great and Winnie the Pooh and his friend were great too!! Chef Mickey's is O.K.. Again were at there in May. The food selection is o.k., but they characters are great! We might be eating here in July also!! The last one is 50's Prime Time. Again we ate there in May and and had a good experience!! The food is decent and the waiters are great. If you can try to get a good waiter it makes the experience better!! The last thing is about the day of 4/2, that is a alot of food to be eating in my opinion. You might be better off finding another day for it!! Good Luck!!!:)
