Heres my list as I have it planned for now. we have not even booked our trip yet so I have yet to make the ADRs but will be asap! let me know if any of these are bad ideas!! (we are a family of 5 Me, Hubby, 5dd 3ds 1ds and go for mostly american food) now I have included 2 ts meals the are 2 credits as we are driving in/out so our first day we wont be there till 8pm and our last day we will be leaving at 8am and both those days will not get a ts meal, only qs , so heres the list : Captains Grille, Playhouse Disney play & dine, Crystal palace, Donalds safari breakfast, Yachtsman steakhouse & Cinderellas Table. My only concern is the steak house, is it ok for kids? is it dressy attire? I need some expert input!! Thanks!!

We did Crystal Palace, Play & Dine and Tusker House as character breakfasts. It's really great being in the parks before they open (if your ADR's will be that early) Tusker House is also great for lunch/dinner. Tusker House is very close to the Safari ride, so if you are there early you can get on the safari ride without much wait. The same is true for the rides at Magic Kingdom. We were done at CP at about 9:10, headed to Dumbo and only had a minimal wait. If Peter Pan's flight is on your list, get a FP or do it early.

We ate at Le Cellier and loved the steak there. The bread they bring out with your drinks are awesome as well (pretzel, multigrain & sourdough). (FYI - we are a family of 4 - me, DH, DD6 & DD2 1/2)

We have never done Yachtsman, but the dress code is as follows per the Disney web site - "Dress Code Guidelines:
Men: Khakis, slacks, jeans, dress shorts, collared shirts. Sport coats are optional.
Ladies: Capris, skirts, dresses, jeans, dress shorts.

Not permitted in dining room: Tank tops, swimwear, hats for gentleman, cut offs, or torn clothing. While T-shirts are now allowed, the policy remains that T-shirts with offensive language or graphics are not acceptable

Hope this info helps. Have a great trip.

We have eaten at Crystal Palace and Safari Breakfast. Although the kids enjoyed Crystal Palace, we found it to be overcrowded and not as great for adults. We loved the safari breakfast, one of the best character meals we've been too.
Another place our family enjoyed (Mom, Dad, 2 boys, and grandparents) was the Whispering Canyon Cafe at Fort Wilderness Lodge. The food was great, there were unlimited milkshakes, and there was entertainment that kept things interesting. The boatride to get to Fort Wilderness Lodge was an added plus.
