Name at least 3 ADRs you reserve every WDW stay...looking to broaden my horizons.

[Gary Stocker]

I know there are similar threads but I am headed to WDW in a month and I have at least 3 restaurants we always reserve...and a couple that i would if they were ever available.

2 adults around 50 yo.
2 children..8 and 12.

My current 3 must do's every trip
Sanaa
'Ohana dinner.
Homecomin' brunch (morning of departure day..the the thigh cheddar biscuits taste extra delicious with our tears).

Honorable mention goes to Mama Melrose for the Fantasmic package...that restaurant gets a bad rap but have never had a bad meal there..especially the steak.

Space 220 lounge is a unicorn so would be part of all trips otherwise.

So I know my choices aren't necessarily outside the box...my kids are starting to appreciate the Sanaa bread service and the Ohana noodles as they get older..so looking to maybe expand my.horizons and try something new.

Caveat: no buffets. I don't mind them (I will often break from the family for a solo Biergarten visit) but overall we shy away (Tusker was a 1 and done).

Also there are a couple shellfish allergies in our family.

So looking for a place that I can look forward to with my family every trip to perhaps replace one of those 3 up there (ohana will probably never be replaced).

We stay at the BCV so our travel day first night is Beaches and Cream. While a good and consistent meal it is not worth doing a lot of travel to dine there. However, if you are in the area it is cute.

We love the Boathouse at at DS. They do have other options besides seafood but their food is really good.

We love the Hoop De Doo. For the price the food is decent with chicken, ribs and the mac and cheese is appealing to all. The show is cute and the AYCT drink is nice as well.

Another must do is Kona Cafe for breakfast. The Tonga toast and Loco Moco as great and DH loves the big Kahuna.

Honorable mentions go to La Hacienda, Morimoto, Sebastian's Bistro, Turf Club and Skipper's Cantina for lunch

Our family (2 adults, 3kids 15, 13, & 8) definitely has a top 3 that we try to get to.

1. Boathouse - try to get a patio reservation, very relaxing, always good
2. 50s prime time - fun, food is good (nothing special), pb&j shake is a must, something for everyone on the menu.
3. Topolinos - Breakfast or dinner

 

[RickNJane]

We always do
1. SciFi in Hollywood Studios. I have seen most of the movies in the clips.
2. 50's Prime Time. Also in Hollywood Studios
3. Rose and Crown.
With the grandkids we also do Rainforest Cafe at Animal Kingdom

 

[Sprinkles&Sprints]

Our 2 on every trip:

1) California Grill
2) Beaches & Cream (second the opinion that I wouldn’t travel for this, but if you are staying nearby, or are at EPCOT, it’s worth it)

We used to love Topolino’s but had a pretty horrendous experience the last time we were there for breakfast (service related, food was still good). Will give it another try for dinner and reevaluate.

I’d also add that some of the restaurants at the Swan and Dolphin are solid choices - Il Mulino and Todd English Blue Zoo (while chains) are generally excellent.

 

[Kooks and Bay Bay]

We stopped doing as many TS in the last few years because we've just decided that's not how we like to eat.

We almost always do what was The Wave and is now Steakhouse 71.
That's basically it these days.

But I always recommend Sci-Fi Dine In as a fun and relaxing TS.

 

[R&RsMom]

Closest to “every time” for us is Skipper Canteen. Frequent is Rose and Crown and perhaps 50s Prime Time. We sort of try to pick different ones.

 

[DalGal]

1. Boma (breakfast or dinner)
2. 'Ohana
3. Liberty Tree Tavern

We don't do all 3 every time but at least 2 of the 3 on each trip. We also love Yak & Yeti and Trattoria al Forno.

 

[Bellex917]

Lately we keep repeating Steakhouse 71 and San Angel Inn. I don't like to repeat too many too often bc I LOVE trying new places, but these two often get a repeat from us!

 

[Gary Stocker]

Awesome ideas so far..we have been to most of the places mentioned ...I wish we could do hoop de do every time.. I try to make it worth it with the amount of beers I try to consume..but the servers can't keep up lol..and my kids eat like 2 pieces of chicken and they're full...LOVE the show.
Cali grill used to be on the list..but that pre fixe menu isn't as appealing now.
Have never tried liberty tree..in fact never ate table service in MK...always get stuffed at the egg roll.cart or Casey's. Might be worth a try..
Have been to steakhouse 71 for breakfast...really good..but it made me miss the Wave...

 

[disneydreamer1980]

We have several. Mostly due to theming/atmosphere, kids demand these each trip.

Ohana
SciFi
50s primetime
Be our Guest
Either Rainforest or Trex
Flame tree in seating area by water (not a TS)

 

[StarCruzer]

We have no kids, and we almost always do Kona Cafe for one breakfast and Morimoto Asia for a dinner. Grand Floridian Cafe used to be a go-to for breakfast until they trimmed down the menu.

 

[mikeuno]

We always try to fit in Topolino's Terrace and Disney Springs Boathouse and Raglan Road.

 

[team bradfield]

Skippers
Brown Derby
Summer House

 

[NYCgrrl]

Flying Fish, Boathouse and Jaleo.
Creatures of habit.

 

[happycamper47]

Whispering Canyon (Wilderness Lodge)
Olivia's (Ole Key West)

 

[wannabee]

Via Napoli
50s prime time
Steakhouse 71

 

[CWTC]

Breakfast - Kona
Lunch - Brown Derby, Tiffins
Dinner - Capa

We always eat at Steakhouse 71 but depending on where we are staying it could be any meal.

If we are staying at BCV, breakfast at Ale and Compass.

If we are staying at VGF/BLT/PVB, dinner at Citricos and on another night we’ll have dinner at Enchanted Rose.

 

[DisneyMountainWoman]

Boma for brunch and dinner!
Love them. The best value buffet and we love the mix of unique food and with safe food.

 

[honeymo78]

Shulas is the only reservation restaurant we try to visit every trip, but we book via open table. Our other must do is Bar Riva but that doesn't take ADRs.
