My Dining Plan- Any suggestions

[MamaKate]

My 2 kids & I will be going to WDW for the first time Dec. 6th-14th, so I'm not familiar with most of the dining options. The following is a list of restaurants I have PS's for or we plan to eat at. If you have any feedback or suggestions on which are must do or must skip, please let me know !

BREAKFAST:
Chef Mickey's - CR
Boma - AKL
Mara - AKL
Princess Storybook - Epcot

LUNCH:
Cinderella's Royal Table - MK
Marrakesh - Epcot
Sci-Fi Drive In - MGM
Mythos - IOA
Monsters Cafe - Universal
Tusker House or Pizzafari - AK

DINNER:
Beaches & Cream - BC
Cosmic Rays or Casey's - MK
'Ohanas - Poly
Jiko - AKL
Boma - AKL
Tangarine Cafe - Epcot
Mara - AKL

We will be staying at AKL so I'm definately going to try these restaurants at least once. I've got a few dining vouchers which I'm going to use at Beaches & Cream and Tangarine Cafe. But besides that I'm open to reviews & suggestions.

Thanks for any suggestions!

How old are the kids?

tusker house is very good for lunch; you will enjoy eating there. beaches and cream is fun! be sure to get there at an off-time as it is small and waits can be long at peak times. jiko's--fabulous!! casey's corner has good hot dogs and is a quick meal. happy eating!

We have some of the same places on our list. I've done CRT and really enjoyed it, but that was several years ago. Last trip we couldn't get in. I really enjoyed the food and atmosphere at Marrakesh and would like to return when my dh and I go without the kids in the summer. Your plans sound great to me!

Good choices....don't stress over it too much. Chef Mickey's breakfast is phenomenal for kids....they'll remember it for the rest of their lives!! Have fun...

I think your choices look good--a nice mix of sit down, counter and character meals.

We had heard bad reviews about Sci-fi, but we ate there in June and loved it. It will be a must-do on future trips!

Montana Disney Fan - my kids are 5 1/2 & 7. They are very well behaved at sit-down restaurants & are not at all picky eaters.

Thanks everyone for the input. I just wanted to make sure any of these restaurants weren't horrendous before I ate there. I've been planning like crazy & I probably won't end up eating at half the places . But I for sure want to try Boma's, Jiko, CRT, Chef Mickey's & 'Ohanas.

Thanks again,
Katherine

I'm glad you're not actually expecting to eat at all of these places. I think you will find that you will be missing a lot by having each day structured with so many PS's. I would think one (maybe two) PS per day would be structure enough. (e.g. You are in line for a show and "oops" it's time for a PS ... we've got to hurry kids!)

You're probably smart to identify which are the most important and try to get into those ...
