Need help making my ADR's tomorrow!

[mkovalm]

My 180 days is tomorrow and I'd like some help picking places to eat! It's me, my DG/F, and DD9 and DD7. Here's what I was thinking so far:

August 22: Arrive, Downtown Disney - Whispering Canyon Café @ Wilderness

August 23: Magic Kingdom - Crystal Palace

August 24: Epcot -Teppan edo

August 25: Disney Studios

August 26: Animal Kingdom - Boma’s

August 27: Waterpark - Ohana’s

August 28: Any Theme park/waterpark

August 29: Checkout, AM breakfast?

Feel free to help me out, I listed the park I wanted to go to for that day, then a restaurant I'm considering reserving a table at. I'd love some input from all you professional Disney travelers!!!

Have you ever been to Le Cellier in Epcot? It is absolutely wonderful! The steaks are fantastic!

At the Studios, we like Mama Melrose's, especially if you can get it as part of the Fantasmic dinner package (you have to call the dining line to book it though, can't do it online). Pretty good Italian food in a cozy little atmosphere. Also have heard good things about the 50's prime time cafe - we are going there for lunch this year.

Also, my family's favorite character breakfast is Ohana's best friends breakfast. Good food and GREAT character interaction. If your kids are Lilo and Stitch fans it would be a don't miss! We are actually going there again this year on the last day of our vacation.

I make my ADRs on Wed and spent some time yesterday with DNeph(12) and DGrD(6) picking their favorites. WCC is a great, fun way to start the trip for the ages of your kids- DNeph picked it for his b'day two years ago
DNeph LOVES Crystal Palace for lunch (the pooh characters are still his fav) and it's a must for him every trip. DGrD LOVES at least one meal at CRT - they now do the princesses at all 3 meals - with 3 girls in tow, if they like princesses, this might be a hit for you. Akerschus in Norway is always our second pick for princess, but also very good. Just did Teppen Edo for the first time last trip and we really enjoyed it - very entertaining for the kids of course and the food was very good. Boma's is always a hit with my crowd - great selection of food for everyone and just being at AKL is a treat - try to allow a bit of daylight time so you can walk out onto Arusha Rock and check out the animals - if you finish up after dark, ask where the night vision goggles are being used - that is so cool for the kids to do
My kids love Sci Fi at HS for an early lunch (great dark, cool place to regroup in the hot weather) - if we do CS then they like Pizza Planet and I like that I can get a decent salad there and give myself a few moments alone by buying them tokens and turning them loose in the arcade for a bit.
This trip will be our first b'fast at Poly for Lilo and Stitch because we've heard so many great things about it. We love to do a resort character b'fast on check out day because we head to the airport at noon. Depending on where we're staying, our favs are Chef Mickeys and Beach Club- both have been consistently good for us.
We've also had a couple of good dinners at O'Hana's - even got seated at one of the coveted window seats and ended our meal watching Wishes - but it's been a few years since we've been.
In Epcot the fav for the adults has always been Le Cellier - for the kids it's Coral Reef - they love the fish tanks. And we ALWAYS have to take the kids over to Beaches and Cream for a burger and sundae - that little place is one of their favs - I'd be in the dog house if we had a trip without eating there.
Did you know you can check out all of the menus over at allears.net? Just go to 'dining' at the top and then 'the menus' on the left. You've made great picks! Enjoy!
