Last minute restaurant help?

DH and I are leaving for WDW in 10 days (on Christmas Day), for the College Showcase soccer tournament with the team he coaches. We are dining mainly on our own (except for one team dinner), and just 30 minutes ago found out that our brackets and game times have changed.

I was able to change the one reservation we had for 50s PTC on one game day from 7PM to 8:30PM (whew), but the day we were planning on breakfast at 1900 Park Fare, the game is now earlier and we won't make it in time. I'm holding out hope that we might find an earlier ADR for breakfast there, but if we can't I'm curious about your thoughts on the following restaurants for DINNER:

Turf Club
Kona Cafe
The Wave
Whispering Canyon
Shutters (we're staying at CBR)
Edited to add: Citricos (just found two ADRs available for the time I'm searching...

Thank you all so much for your input!

Turf Club at SSR is very good. Didn't care for Whispering Canyon or Kona Cafe. Had two bad meals at Kona Cafe and won't go there again.

Turf Club has definitely intrigued DH, we read a review in an in-flight magazine on our way to WDW in February 2011, since then he's wanted to try it. This may be his chance! Thank you.

Besides, we've done Kona before, I think I'd rather try something different this time around. The others would all be 1st timers for us.

We like Kona & Whispering Canyon. Another place that is some times easy to get an ADR for is GF Cafe & we have had great meals there.

Hmm, I didn't think about GF Cafe. We loved our breakfasts there, so relaxing and a beautiful dining room.

One more option:

Citricos

I just saw two ADRs available for the time I'm shooting for.

Thanks!

Only one we've done is dinner at WCC. It was a late dinner - around 8:30, and it was very crowded. We waited about 20 mins to be seated. We were just two adults so we didn't experience many of the antics, but the larger parties and groups with kids that were around us did. They were all having fun though. I got the pasta dish which I hated but my BF got the skillet which he loved. I would go back, it was a fun atmosphere and I loved walking around WL.
