Well, there's only two things on your list, Biergarten and Seasons, that are also on mine for the 7 days we will be there... but without having a clue what your tastes are, there's really no way to give you suggestions for what you personally might like. For comparison, here are the reservations we will make for our upcoming trip:

Day 1: D - Artist Point
Day 2: B - In Room Service, L - GF Café, D - Tony's before parade
Day 3: B - Whispering Canyon, L - Seasons, D - Biergarten for showtime
Day 4: B - Crystal Palace before park opens, L - Grab snack along the way (big breakfast and early dinner), D - Fantasmic Dinner Package at Brown Derby
Day 5: B - at resort, L - Rainforest Café (AK), D - San Angel before Illuminations
Day 6: B - at resort, L - Columbia Harbour House, D - Le Cellier before Illuminations
Day 7: B - Boma, L - Wherever new that caught our eye during the week, D - heading home

Happy planning! ~Ev :)

Edit: I think we'll be adding Flame Tree from your list! After reading the comments here, I believe we'd prefer that to a TS meal at Rainforest Cafe that day. Thanks for the idea! :)

Everything Pop. Good food court. Lots of stuff there. Try a flatbread if you're adventurous. I liked the chicken Mediteranean and the chicken curry.
Flame tree. Yummy BBQ ribs. The chicken was good too.
Biergarten. Yummy for dinner. If you've never had German, try things even if they seem yucky at first glance or first thought.
Chef Mickeys. Great character meal. You'll have fun. I've never been at breakfast. But if they have it like the Crystal Palace does, try the breakfast lasagne.
Cosmic Rays. BBG ribs good, chicken good,

Anything I didn't mention, I've never been to or omitted by mistake.

If you're looking for gourmet, you have the wrong list. But you'll get good solid food everywhere and it's not going to totally bust your budget.
 

:thumbsup2 Hi we have 4-5 of these on our list for our next trip in Sept. sounds good to me !!!! last time we wanted to eat at Biergarten but didnt so it's a must do this time-sounds like a fun time. :banana: :banana:
 
Cosmic Rays is awful!!! DO NOT GO THERE unless you like really bad food.
I had the chicken and it was bad! The chicken at Dominicks and Jewel is better (Chicago grocery stores), the rotiserrie stuff you buy at the store.
Go somewhere else, you will thank me for it!!!

I disagree, I liked the food I had here...I had the rotisserie chicken. Not bad at all...and I don't like really bad food! :teeth:
 
We LOVED Flame Tree - our favorite counter service in all of WDW! The food was yummy, and the seating by the water was so nice & relaxing! While we were eating, the character barge floated by.

We also enjoyed Sunshine Season - lots of good variety. Here's my review from last year - -

This wasn't where I had planned to eat - I had planned that we would be done w/ Future World by lunchtime and that we would "eat around the world" for lunch. However, we got a late start to the day, & we ended up at The Land at lunch time. Since I was looking forward to some of the World Showcase eateries, I was a little biased against this meal at the beginning. ;)

It was very crowded, but the lines we were in moved quickly & we were surprisingly able to find a table.

I had the marinated beef on a bed of greens & flatbread w/ some sort of pesto - the Beef Chimichurri according to the receipt. DH had the chicken on a bed of greens & flatbread w/ some sort of white sauce - the Rotisseri Chicken. The kids had a chicken leg w/ mashed potatoes & cooked carrots. My food was good - nothing about which to complain - it just wasn't what I wanted - I didn't care for the mixed greens, and the meat was a little cool, but, overall, it wasn't too bad. DH never said anything about his. The kids liked their chicken legs but didn't eat their mashed potatoes & complained that their carrots were cold. DH & I both had a fruit torte for dessert (called the fruit tulip) - it was really good - made me like my meal a lot better! The kids had dirt cups which they enjoyed as well.

Our table was clean when we sat down, the condiment area was clean & nicely stocked, the servers were friendly.

Atmosphere - Good (Even though it was noisy, I liked that the seating areas were "in the middle of everything" at The Land)
Food - Fair to Good
Service - Good

We ate breakfast at Chef Mickey's last May on our last morning, & we're doing the same thing this year. It's a fun restaurant w/ the monorail running through, the napkin-twirling, & cheerful music. There were plenty of choices on the buffet, but I just concentrated on the fruit & the Mickey waffles. All the characters were good - except for Mickey who seemed "rushed".

We plan to try Pinocchio Village Haus this year too - the menu looks really good. And, since my DD's fav ride is IASW, I think we'll really like the setting too.

Another really good counter service in the MK is Columbia Harbour House - we liked it so much last year that we ate there twice! The seating upstairs is relaxing & quiet - a nice little "break".
 
We are going to try Biergarten for the first time this trip !
