I need suggestions!!!

[xoprincessmomxo]

Hello everyone. I really need some help for places to eat! We go at the beginning of August and I can start making my ADR's on February 7th. So this is my list so far:

CRT breakfast
Boma
Princess Storybook Norway
San Angel Inn
Whispering Canyon
Mama Melrose (fantasmic package)
Coral Reef
Crystal Palace
Ohana


I have two TS credits left. Now, my question is do I use those on a signature place or two other restaurants. We are traveling with our three daughters who will be 1 (almost 2), 6, and 11. There are just so many places to choose from, and I'd rather not double up on resorts. My plans are to be at Animal Kingdom one of the days and the water park the other day. I'd rather eat at a resort or DTD on the water park day as we won't be using a theme park ticket that day. And the places at Animal Kingdom just don't look that appealing. What would you guys do? The restaurants at Epcot seem to look the best, but I hate going to Epcot so many times over our trip....

Any suggestions are welcome and THANK YOU!!!

We made an ADR for Yak & Yeti on our AK day. I've heard very good things about it.

the Yak and Teti - not from experience but from reviews on the board and the menu. In DTD you don't have that many options. Many of the restaurants are not owned by Disney and do not participate in the dining plan. I think your two best options would be Raglan Road and Wolfgang Puck Cafe.

You could think about using one of your TS credits to go to 1900 Park Fare over at the Grand Floridian. You mentioned you have girls and I know you're already doing a few meals with princesses but I've heard this one is a lot of fun. We're trying it out for the first time in April when we go and I'm really looking forward to it.

I don't have any other suggestions. I can't remember what's over near the Boardwalk/YC and BC.

Yup I say yak and yeti's. We went a few days after it was opened. They still had some computer issues to work out but the food was yummy.

Great non-park restaurants would be The Kona Cafe at The Poly, Chef Mickey's at The Contemporary, and 1900 Park Fare at The Grand Flo (I didn't love this one, but you might).

I can't help with Animal Kingdom places because we never go to Animal Kingdom.

Have a great trip!!!

Where are you staying (ie, what would be a convenient outside the parks place to try)?

Also, Tusker House at AK is now a buffet with characters, so you might want to check that out...

I am staying at the All Star Movies resort. I think that I am also going to switch out Ohana after all the bad reviews I have seen. Thanks for all the ideas. I am really leaning towards 1900 Park Fair...is breakfast better than dinner there? I am scared of making any reservations at the Animal Kingdom as it closes early and I'm not sure how well it's going to go over with my youngest girls. It doesn't seem like there will be much that will keep them interested....Has anyone done the Cape May Buffet? My unofficial guide gave it decent reviews, but I want somewhere that has a nice atmosphere as well as good food. Thanks again, everyone!

We loved Ohana's when we went for breakfast last year, I too saw the reviews, but I was so glad that we went. I have to also mention chef mickey's , its a great environment for the kids.....This has become a must do on every trip for us. We did do 1900 park fare for dinner last year, the strawberry soup is wonderful. My sons didn't really like it, but girls would love it.

I think I've narrowed it down finally:

CRT
San Angel Inn
WCC
M.Melrose Fantasmic Package
Coral Reef
Boma
Crystal Palace
50's Prime Time (my 5 year old picked this one. UGH!)
PSB Askerhaus
Kona
1900 Park Fare Breakfast


Thanks again for all of your help.
