I need opinions, please!

[Tinkerbell1013]

Alright--the basics. Two traveling, myself (22) and my Mom (52). We like different types of food and like trying new things. Mom hasn't been to Disney since 1994 so a lot has changed. We will be traveling Feb. 24-28. We are on the Dining Plan, so our choices can be a little more exciting (and expensive) than in trips past. This is what I've come up with--I was wanting opinions from my fabulous DISers.

Arrive Friday morning and go to MGM and then later Epcot. Dinner at Le Cellier.
Saturday--I want to know, is it best to go to AK early in the morning or later in the day? I think this day we want to do Animal Kingdom and eat at Boma but we'll need something to fill in--perhaps Downtown Disney. Is this far apart or will getting back to Boma to eat be easy?
Sunday--Will spend the day at Epcot. Dinner at Chefs de France. Any good suggestions of interesting things for lunch? I haven't really tried anything other than France, Canada and Japan around the world showcase so I'd like something new and fun.
Monday-We'll be at the Magic Kingdom. That night we'll be doing OHana (or Whispering Canyon). Any suggestions between the two? I want something fun and tasty but not something that she or I have to be involved in--watching something is fine but I'm not feeling the getting up and dancing thing.

Any suggestions, tips, anything would be helpful...we've been outta the swing of things for the past 11 years.

Thanks!

You have picked our 4 favorite restaurants: Le Cellier, Boma, Chefs and "Ohana......Can we come

AK gets empty later in the day especially after the parade. So if you want to miss the crowds the afternoon would be better. I do not know if this will change when EE opens in April. There are direct buses from AK to DTD and DTD to AKL. So getting around is not a problem. Getting from AKL to another resort is a little more difficult. When returning to your resort from AK do not change buses at DTD its just too far from AKL. Change buses at MGM or Epcot.

For Sunday have you considered leaving Epcot and maybe taking the boat or walk to BC or BW or even the Swan Dolphin area. There are some good places to eat over there such as Beaches and Cream, Spoodles. I can't recommend any TS restaurants because of bad experiences at Marrakesh and Biergarten.

For Monday you might like 'Ohana over WC. The food is better and if you time it right you can get a great view of the MK fireworks. Ask for a window table.

Have fun

If you go to AK at lunch try Tusker House their food is great, the salmon is fantastic.
For lunch at EPCOT we love Tangeriene Cafe, it is a little bit different and the food is great very freshm those 2 restaurants are TS so would work well for your plans.....
Have fun, I love to plan where we eat when we go to Disney.
