Help me Pick

Alright
so we have been to Disney MAny times on the dining plan (spoiled)

we are going on a 3 night cruise for my High school grad present. My mom decided that before the cruise (its out of port Canaveral) that we would stay 2 nights in WDW!!!! We are also volunteering one day to go to parks(adding hopper to free option). Since we have never done it b/c we want the DDP we never have stayed at the Swan/Dolphin.. For the location and price (apprx $220 night in may) we decided this would be a great new place!


MY DBF(19) is also tagging along..Never been too WDW. Not overly excited. Hates the heat and big crowds but LOVES food.

MY question is:
We are trying to decide on a dinner for the night we arrive. My mom thinks a buffet or family style would be good for him.
I have always wanted to do 1900 park fare (he wouldnt mind any characters, as long as there is food!) Is the food at 1900 decent or is it icky cold pasta at a buffet.

We did Ohana back when the menu was different (06?) and this is at the top of our picks.
Chef MIckey i did when i was about 11-12 and hardly remember. Is the food here decent?

Is Cape me Cafe decent? seemed alot cheaper then other dinners. Is there a reason why?

Overall he doesnt care about a "theme" or characters. I just want to please him with yummy food (lots of it!) and I will be pleased by characters (if they are there)!!!


SO basically Help me decide which sounds best!!!


THanks!!!!

*Any new ideas are very welcome too, but no theme park dining please*

Is none of the above an option?

I would go to Boma if you're doing dinner. Lots of yummy and interesting dishes there! No characters, but go a little early and check out the savannah obervation deck!

The ones we are interested in are

1900 Park Fare (would love the cinderella characters)

Chef MIckey (heard not so great things)

Ohana

Cape May (do they still do crab legs?)

I vote for Cape May Cafe. We had dinner there for the first time in September after hearing from my mom for a year how excellent their dinner was. I didn't believe her - I generally don't like buffets. But I was pleasantly surprised - everything was delish! And, since you're staying at the Swan/Dolphin you can walk right there and not have to worry about getting to the GF. Oh, and there are no characters at dinner, so it may make your BF happier, and yes, there are still crab legs, plus clams and clam chowder.
