Help this recovering dining plan-ner

[ChristaDeVil]

Okay, we've gone two times and done the DDP both times. We decided to do things differently this time, and we are on the QSDP (Using the PIN). We decided not to upgrade, but to schedule just a couple of table services to pay OOP. We def. want to do Ohana, but I just want some recommendations on Table Services that are totally worth paying OOP (maybe some things we haven't done in the past). I had thought of Sci-Fi Dine in for Lunch because we've never done it and it's right up our alley. Any other recommendations?

I love Sci-Fi Diner myself one of my favourites the food is simple but the atmosphere is wonderful. I personally enjoy 50's Prime Time Cafe the antics are fun, Whispering Canyon at the Wilderness Lodge, Coral Reef at Epcot and personally I love Tutto Italia but its really pricey for out of pocket!

Okay, here's another addition to my original question:
Which restaurants are easier to get a walk-up or reservation the day of? I'm really not wanting to make a lot of reservations. I'm trying to make this trip as stress-free as possible. If it helps, we are going first week in August!

Plaza is easy and very good!

If you find yourself in the Animal Kingdom, Tusker House for lunch is a nice option. We've really enjoyed it on multiple occasions. The CMs there were especially nice and helpful, I thought.

Thanks for the ideas! I like the idea of going to those "less-appreciated" (if that's the right term) places this time. Hidden gems, if you will!
