Need Help with 1 Last ADR!!

[If U Had Wings]

I'm going to be in WDW from 9/29 - 10/6 and am having problems chosing my last ADR. Hoping someone out there may have some good advice! I'm going with a friend - so two women, both over 20. Neither of us is a super adventerous eater, but neither are we strictly meat and potatos people either. I've been to Disney several times, but my friend has only been there on a one day trip about 10 years ago. I'm trying to pick a variety of places to try new things and give her a wide "Disney" experience. I had wanted to eat at Le Cellier, but unfortunately it was booked for dinner for our entire trip.

Here is what I have so far:
9/29 - Arrive in Disney, afternoon in Epcot. 7pm dinner at San Angel Inn

9/30 - Day at AK. 5:50 dinner at Boma.

10/1 - Day at Epcot. No reservations yet!

10/2 - Day at Magic Kingdom. 6pm dinner at Tony's Town Square. (My friend's choice not mine). Hopefully this will give us enough time to still catch the Spectromagic parade. Can bump up the time if needed.

10/3 - Day at MGM - 4:40 Dinner at Brown Derby. Fantasmic package allotment for the Brown Derby for already filled up, but am hoping with a 4:40 ressie I'll still be able to get a seat. Any thoughts? I've only done the Fantasmic show before with the ressies.

10/4 - No adr's. Most of day is up in the air. Might try to do a tour in the morning and then rest before attending the MNSSHP in the evening. Just planning on cs for day.

10/5 - Another day we are going to spend just revisiting whatever we want to see again. I have reservations made for 7:30 pm at 50's Prime Time Cafe as I know I want to go back to MGM for one last ride on ToT!

I'm really looking for reservations for my day at Epcot. I was looking at Coral Reef, Teppanyaki, and the Rose & Crown, but I have no experience eating at any of them. Can anyone let me know how any of these are?

Also are there any ideas for any places outside of the park that may be good? I'm not familiar with the places near Epcot. I had been looking at Ohana, Chef Mickey's and Raglan Road, but am not sure I want to leave Epcot that early to go to one of these for dinner.

All thoughts and ideas welcome! I can't believe I'm having such a hard time making this last reservation.

Biergarten, Marrakesh or Chefs de France?? Any of those for the world feel! Or Coral Reef for that great atmosphere and food!

Have fun.

Hmmm I've had Biergarten before and liked it, but never been to either of the other 2 places. I'm a bit nervous if my friend will try them though. Sometimes she's a bit adventerous, but not always!

Well since you will be at Epcot, you could walk over to the Boardwalk for dinner at Spoodles. If you want to stay within Epcot I think Coral Reef would be great as long as you like seafood. Nine Dragons is also good if you like Chinese.

I would try either the Rose & Crown or Chefs de France. I think either would be a great experience.

I also like the idea of leaving Epcot and walking to the Boardwalk area and doing some dining.

You could also consider eating at the Beach Club/Yacht Club (Cape May, Yachtsman, Beaches and Cream for a burger, etc).

Thanks everyone for the ideas. I like the idea of Rose & Crown because of the patio for Illuminations, but really want to try Coral Reef too. I was a little put out by that one after reading some reviews around here, especially the one with the "sad little crab cake".
