Help me choose either an Epcot or non-park meal!

[heehee611]

We are going in December for our 5th trip and are having trouble picking out last 2 restaurant choices!

We currently have booked Ohana, Tusker House, Yak & Yeti, Art Smith's Homecomin', and Biergarten. We have 2 more meals to choose. One of the days we will be at Magic Kingdom, and the other we will be at Hollywood Studios. We've done Crystal Palace, 50's Diner and Mama Melrose and would like to try somewhere different.

Neither of those parks seem to have great restaurants Any suggestions for great places to try either at nearby resorts, Boardwalk, or Disney Springs? We have our own car so we're not concerned about ease of getting there from the parks.

Oh, also we've done Boma a few times and Whispering Canyon once... would like to do something different.

Our other choice is to eat somewhere else at Epcot... right now we have Biergarten and Homecomin on our 1st Epcot day, and planned on snacking around the world the 2nd But if there was somewhere we REALLY wanted to eat, we could do that the 2nd day along with the snacks.

To add, we're on the dining plan and so need to stick to places on the plan, and preferably only 1 credit!

Thanks for the help!

Magic Kingdom day go to Artist Pointe. Really good food and Wilderness Lodge is awesome Christmas time. Hollywood day I just had an awesome meal at BlueZoo 2 weeks ago. was really good.

I don't think BlueZoo would be on the plan not sure we don't use it. I was going to suggest HBD at HS but it's 2 credits. I love all the WS restaurants, some more than others so I would lean toward eating somewhere there. Both restaurants in Morocco are our favorites but really, we would eat at any of the ones in WS and be happy and fat.

Two of our favourites at Epcot are Tappan Edo and Via Napoli. In the Boardwalk area we like Cape May and Captains Grille.

Artist Point is 2 credits
Blue zoo is not on DDP.
Neither will work for OP

For your MK day I would do The Wave at the Contemporary. We've always had good service and great food for lunch and dinner there. For your Epcot day I'd say you could be good with snacking around Epcot really. If you wanted something more substantial there are quite a few QS places to get a larger meal. I'd recommend Les Halles in France, Tangierine Cafe in Morocco, or Yorkshire County Fish Shop in England.

For Epcot, I would suggest Via Napoli, Chefs de France, or Teppan Edo. It really depends on what you like and prefer.

MK area: If you don't mind the boat ride from the MK, Trail's End is good. You can also explore Fort Wilderness while you're at it. I liked Liberty Tree Tavern, and I always wanted to try the Plaza, but I haven't gotten there yet. I've heard great things about Skipper Canteen, but haven't been myself.

DHS/EPCOT area: I liked Beaches and Cream, but it's very small so it can be hard to get an ADR. Big River Grill was good too. The food was good at Chefs de France, but the tables were jammed in there so tight, it had very little ambience for me. Might also have been because I was seated in the back. I enjoyed Rose & Crown also. Via Napoli was good, and the waiters were dreamy.

For MK I'd go with Skipper Canteen. We had a great experience here in December.

At Epcot I'd try Rose and Crown. We always have a good meal there.

What about sci-fi? Food is good and it's a great break from the hot sun.

Didn't read the fine print. Never do DDP for that reason. I would still sacrifice 2 credits for Artist Pointe.
