Hello all. I have just returned from my wonderful WDW vacation. We were down for the 4th of July celebration (July 1 - July 9). I would love to answer any questions you may have about restaurants.

So feel free to post a question and I'll do my best to respond!

We also just returned from our trip (July 2-10) and we had a great time!!!

Some of the places we ate were:

1st night - Ohanas. It was really good, but we sat in the "front" room and didn't feel like a part of everything that was going on. Much better to sit in the "back" room; with a window view!

Bomas - Great food; great service! Love those zebra domes!

Plaza Restaurant - Great burgers and shakes!!!

San Angel Inn - Food was good; atmosphere was very nice (but a little dark!)

Nine Dragons - Great food!

Fultons Crab House - Excellent!!!!! Food was great, dessert was great - service was great!!!!

Hard Rock Cafe - Food was pretty good.

50s Prime Time Cafe - Food was really good; waitress was funny (but not overly intrusive); smores were great!!

Concourse Steakhouse - Good burgers.

Whispering Canyon - Pretty good food. We didn't try the all you can eat skillets though. Chicken wing appetizer was good, as well as the pork chops!

Kona Cafe - Tonga Toast; gotta love it!!!

The rest of the time, we ate counter service or just snacked in our room! We had a PS for Artist Point but wasn't able to make it.
 

Flying Fish (Boardwalk) - dinner was excellent and we really enjoyed the atmosphere. We were in the back room that felt like you were eating in a plush fabirc tent you might find in a desert oasis - very cool. If you like seafood, I highly reccomend it. Our waiter mentioned that they are known for their filet / steak. The people at the table next to us ordered it and it looked delicious, but I am a seafood fan so I had to try the Salmon - YUMMY!

San Angel Inn - The food was good - I had the Tilapia and enjoyed it. My BF had the Mexicano Platter and really enjoyed it. Some of the selections are a little spicy, but we enjoyed the atmoshpere - we had a table by the river. It was a little dark, but still nice. Warning - watch out for the salsa they bring for the table it is HOT.

Fulton's Crab House - EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT. We had the Crab and Lobster experience for two and loved it. The service was great and we were able to get a table for dinner with only about a 20 minute wait without reservations. Again, if you like seafood - you definitely should check it out.

Brown Derby Fantasmic Dinner Package - Again, the food was very good. I have the steak and enjoyed it very much. The dinner package was nice becuase you weren't limited to only a few dinner items, each person could get and appitizer, dinner and dessert for the fixed price. The reserved seats for Fantasmic were fine. I have heard some complaints, but we weren't expecting the best seats in the house - just reserved seats. We were able to see all of the show unobstructed to the whole package idea is a great option if you don't want to stand in line for a long time to get regular seats.

Rainforest Cafe (DTD) - We ate in the Elephant Room so we had a good view of the restaurant. The food was good and the atomsphere there is always nice. We wer able to get in for dinner with a 20 minute wait - but for larger groups it can get to be a long time until you get a table. If you can't get in there, I would recommend trying the Earl of Sandwich. We walked through and it looked very nice and the food seemed reasonable. It's on out list for next time.

Most mornings we ate in the Food Court (POR pr POFQ). We did get pastries in the MK the day we went there and then ate them by the water while we watched the Cinderella show at the castle - it was a very nice way to start the day.

Lunch most days was just found in the parks at a counter service location and we were always able to find something.

Overall - many delicious places to eat - I can't wait for the next trip to try out more.

:-)
