May 24th
Lunch and Dinner; MK area - Ohana for Dinner is nice. Or if your daughters love princesses and cost is no object you could opt for Cinderella's Royal Table. Our family loves Crystal Palace and Winnie the Pooh, but I have never done dinner there, so I don't know if it's good. I wouldn't try the California Grill with that combination. If you want Counter Service (Pecos Bill or Columbia House ) Liberty Tree Tavern has a really good lunch also.

May 25th Lunch AK - Flame Tree BBQ is great Quick Service, Tusker House now does a character lunch, but I have only ever done breakfast. It is my 9 yr old's favorite. Or, if you are willing to leave the park for a bit, the AKL has Boma, which my family loves.

May 26th Lunch DHS - hmmmm - yuck. I am not a fan of most of the restaurants here. I have heard Sci-Fi and 50s are at least entertaining. The QS is a no go.

it can be either TS or QS doesnt matter.

MK: Love Liberty Tree Tavern for Dinner.

AK: Flame Tree (I haven't eaten here yet, but really want to try it) or Rainforest Cafe (Lava Nachos!!!).

DHS: 50's Prime Time Cafe- I enjoy the "home cooked" food or Sci-Fi (just a fan of the atmosphere, to me the food is average).

May 24th
Lunch and Dinner; MK area = Liberty Tree, Crystal Palace, even Plaza is yummy! Nearby how about Whispering Canyon? only a boat ride away.

May 25th Lunch AK = Tusker House (character dining at lunch now), or Rainforest.

May 26th Lunch DHS = 50's & Sci Fi are both fun.

May 24th
Lunch and Dinner; MK area - Pecos Bill for lunch if you are in MK, Love Kona for dinner. Ribeye and wings + great deserts.

May 25th Lunch AK - Flame Tree, check out the view from the seating in the back.

May 26th Lunch DHS -50's or Brown Derby, probably 50's with the kids.

MK: if you want to stay in the park then Liberty Tree Tavern and Tony's Town Square (my family has had really great experiences here despite bad reviews). Resorts Grand Floridian Cafe and Kona Cafe are yummy choices.

AK Yak and Yeti

DHS Sci-Fi drive in is really neat for kids

May 25th Lunch AK

May 26th Lunch DHS

it can be either TS or QS doesnt matter.

MK Area
Lunch - Liberty Tree (Good in park option, no characters for lunch. Good prices and good options for food)
Dinner - Whispering Canyon Cafe (Short boat ride away, lots of fun for kids and adults.

AK Area
Lunch - If you like BBQ, Flame Tree. Pizza, Pizzafari. Rainforest Cafe can be very loud.

DHS
Sci Fi or Mama Melrose, both good options. Sci Fi might be more kid friendly.

 

[jimandami]

MK Lunch: Columbia Harbor House (nice counter service with lots of indoor seating and different options than other places)
MK Dinner: Whispering Canyon Cafe (it is nice to take the boat over and get away for a while, then go back for fireworks/etc..
AK: Flame Tree BBQ for CS and Rainforest Cafe for TS (although not sure it's on the DDP?)
HS: Sci-Fi (The food here was not outstanding, but definitely good and the atmosphere was fantastic. The movies kept our kiddos entertained and it was one of our favorite meals of the trip).

Here are my choices for you...

MK Area - Many good locations. If you are willing to hop on the boat from MK and head to Whispering Canyon Cafe @ Wilderness Lodge, that would be my first choice.
If you want to stay in the park; head to Liberty Tree Tavern. I like lunch better than dinner there.

AK - Well...we usually leave AK because of the food choices. But, if I had to pick a favorite...Stick with Flame Tree. Your kids might not like the food from Tusker House or Yak & Yeti.

DHS - Another park we leave to find food...lol. If you feel ambitious, hop the boat from HS and get off at Beach Club. Head over to the Cape May Cafe for an awesome buffet. There are seafood items, but that does not make up the whole buffet. Yum, we usually hit this place 2X per vacation.
But, if you want to stay in the park, SKIP Hollywood & Vine.

Good luck! And since you are on the DDP, make sure you get the more "bang" for your buck.

MK - Liberty Tree Tavern for a late lunch (I'd just snack for later on then) - the food is GREAT and the prices are reasonable
AK - Boma (it's at AKL actually but very close to AK and the best buffet on property IMO)
DHS - 50's Prime Time or Sci-Fi... I love the home cooked meals at 50's and Sci-Fi is neat but offers a lighter meal if you're not into eating a ton

 

[AHundredMinusOneDay]

Just my two cents for the DHS ADR - Sci-Fi! This is one of my favorite places to eat; I love the burgers and the atmosphere is so much fun! Last time I was there, they had police officers walking around the cars. I got a ticket for driving with an open container (of water.) One of my favorite, inexpensive souvies!

 

[DDM101]

Are you on any kind of dining plan? Judging from your post, I'm thinking not as you don't care if you have TS or CS.

In MK, we like Crystal Palace breakfast or lunch (TS), the Plaza (TS) and Columbia Harbour House (CS).

Our Animal Kingdom choices are Tusker House lunch (TS), Yak and Yeti (TS) & Flame Tree Barbeque (CS).

In Hollywood Studios we enjoy Hollywood Brown Derby (2 credit TS), 50's Prime Time Cafe (TS) and Starring Rolls Cafe (lunch only.)

Enjoy whatever you choose!

MK - we love Liberty Tree for Lunch - Whispering Canyon at Wilderness Lodge is also a favorite in the area (lunch was much more quiet and relaxing than dinner) - we also enjoy Tony's.

AK - Tusker House for lunch - our kids love this place, and they are very, very picky. Now with characters for lunch, they will love it even more. (DD4 & DD8) I am also very picky, but I absolutely love the food here.

HS - 50's Prime Time Cafe - best fried chicken, fun atmosphere

 

[disneyfanbecky]

I just wanted the second the idea of going to Boma! The bus is incredibly quick to AKL and Boma is delicious!! There are also lots of kid options! And if the park is anyway busy, this is a great place to just take a quick breather - the kids will love seeing the animals outside too because there is no wait or crowds!

 

[terryfromhawaii]

MK-Lunch-Cosmic Ray's or Columbia Harbor House; Dinner-Crystal Palace
AK-Lunch-Yak & Yeti or Flame Tree BBQ
DHS-Definitely gotta try 50's PT Cafe. We've been to WDW 7 times before we finally decided to try it and loved it!
