Help me critique my plans?

[Googilycub]

We leave in 14 days (yay!!!!). Looking for some input on our dining plans. It is me, hubby, and 9 y/o daughter. We will be staying at the poly, and are on the dining plan (regular plan 1ts, 1qs per day). Here are my major concerns: I only booked 2 breakfasts...do we need more? I have never eaten at Kona, is it a must do, or is the tonga toast at captain cooks good enough? Also, are the ones I'm paying oop for the best choices? I have changed these plans like a million times (my hubby thinks I'm nuts!). I am still thinking I missed some good restaurants, maybe I should drop some and add something else. Any that you would drop? Am I missing any must dos? Also, I have one night at the magic kingdom with out a table service planned. I am thinking I need one, should I maybe pick another meal to pay oop for? I have never eaten a meal at mk I have thought was that good, so I am struggling with what to book (and yes bog is full, but I didn't care for the dinner there anyways). Here is what I currently have

Breakfasts

Ohana (oop)
Be our Guest

Lunches

Teppan Edo
Be our Guest

Dinners

The Wave
Rose & Crown
Ohana
Raglan Road
Spirit of Aloha
Via Napoli (oop)
Hoop de Doo (oop, I can't use ddp for this because I booked cat. 1 seating)
Sanaa
Tokyo Dining
California Grill

Thanks for any input!

They look great! The only thing I would do is cancel one of the BOG's. It's probably not necessary to eat there twice. Another great breakfast spot is Olivia's at OKW.

What if you do Cali Grill OOP and use the dining plan for Ohana and Via Napoli? That might be a better use of credits though there is something about ordering pizza and credit usage at VN that I'm not familiar with.

If you're looking for another breakfast Tusker House is really good.

I will price out the Cali grill now and see which is cheaper. Thanks for the idea!

I have heard good things about tusker house, but we are just not buffet people. Even when we go to Vegas we just can't get into the idea of buffet food

Understand. WDW is the ONLY place where we eat at buffets.

I would do Spirit of Aloha OR Hoop De Doo, not both. The food is better at HDH but SoL is more convenient since you're staying at the Poly.

I'd do Teppan Edo OR Tokyo Dining, not both.

BOG is a GREAT use of a QS credit for breakfast or lunch and your QS options at the MK, especially for breakfast, are limited. The test phase for BOG breakfast ends in July so who knows what will happen after that. I would keep both since the lunch at BOG is very good.

You have 1 character meal, Ohana Breakfast, and I don't know if this was by design or an oversight. Akershus is excellent for breakfast and has Princesses for your daughter if she's interested.

I love Chefs de France for lunch but not for dinner.

Since Rose and Crown made the portion size of the Fish and Chips so much smaller, it's off my list. Plus there's nothing else on the menu that thrills me.
