We are leaving for our first Disney World trip in 19 days and I have my ADR's for table service restaurants but I would love some suggestions for quick service places. Here is what our plans look like:

Arriving Saturday morning - We have a late lunch at Tusker House at 2:05pm and may spend the whole day and evening at Animal Kingdom or may just have an easy day and go back to Pop that night. If staying at AK - any suggestions for QS dinner

Sunday - Hollywood Studios - We have lunch at Hollywood & Vine and need a QS dinner idea

Monday - We are at Epcot all day but heading over to Ohana for dinner. Need QS lunch ideas at Epcot

Tuesday - Magic Kingdom - Our DD is doing the BBB in the afternoon and we are doing an early dinner at 1900 Park Fare. I need QS ideas for late breakfast or early lunch

Wednesday - We have no plans for this day. We might check out downtown Disney or just hang out at the resort this day. We are doing breakfast at Chef Mickeys. Any dinner QS ideas in downtown Disney?

Thursday - Need QS lunch ideas at AK. Heading back to Epcot in afternoon for dinner at Akershus

Friday - Back to MK! Lunch at Crystals Palace. Need QS dinner suggestions

Saturday - Leaving :(
 
AK-Flame Tree BBQ
Epcot-Tangierine Cafe
MK-Columbia Harbor House
DHS-nothing-we do TS or leave the park
DTD-Wolfgang Puck Express and Earl of Sandwich
 
AK: I like Flametree BBQ.
DHS: Yuck, not really much good there. Backlot Express has decent burgers and topping bar but nothing special.
Epcot: Sunshine Seasons in The Land has a wonderful, fresh variety. In World Showcase, we really love Tangerine Cafe (sp) in Morocco.
MK: A lot of lunch places open at 10:30am. (Sounds early, but if you're at the parks for rope drop, you're probably hungry!) My favorite is Columbia Harbour House.

I see you're staying at Pop. Their food court is really good, too! Shrimp lo mein and fried chicken dinner are favorites of ours.
 
MK - CHH
Epcot - either Sunshine Seasons or Yorkshire fish and chips
AK - Yak & Yeti or Flametree
DHS - Yuck. Not much here. Sandwich @Starring Rolls?
 

MK: Cosmic Ray's; we've never eaten at Columbia Harbor House, but it gets great reviews and we plan to try it next time
Epcot: we LOVE Sunshine Season's; it's located in the building that Soarin is in (The Land maybe?) Tons of choices, huge amounts, tastes very fresh & delicious. Very different than your standard QS burgers & fries options.
DHS: Starring Rolls
AK: my DH fav is Flame Tree BBQ; my girls and my fav. is Pizzafari
DTD: Wolf Gang Puck Express or Earl of Sandwich
 
MK- Casey's corner is one of my favs as well as columbia harbor house
DHS- we normally eat @pizza planet however it is always super busy
Epcot- hands down favorite is Sunshine Seasons- there are so many choices!
AK- we have only eaten at pizzafari only because that is the only place where our youngest wants to eat.

Hope that helps :thumbsup2
 
POR Create your own past is excellent. Boat ride from DTD is nice.
Pepper Market at Coronado is very good.
 
Animal Kingdom - Yak and Yeti counter service or Flame Tree Barbecue

Hollywood Studios - Toy Story Pizza Planet, especially if you have any kids that are fans of the movie

Epcot - Lots of great choices, Sunshine Seasons for a wide variety of food, Tangierine Cafe in Morocco for something a little different, La Cantina de San Angel for Mexican, Yorkshire County Fish Shop for fish and chips (fries)

Magic Kingdom - I'm not sure about a late breakfast, maybe the Main Street bakery? For lunch Columbia Harbor House or Cosmic Rays.

Downtown Disney - Wolfgang Puck Express will give you pretty large portions for dinner, or if you want sandwiches Earl of Sandwich is delicious.
 
It looks like we'll be down there at the same time, we're arriving on the 21st as well!

AK--We really enjoyed the Flame Tree BBQ and plan on eating there again this year.

MK--Columbia Harbor House was wonderful, I highly recommend it.

DTD--we ate at Wolfgang Puck Express for breakfast, it was very good and I can't imagine dinner or lunch being anything but good as well.

Epcot--The only QS we had here was breakfast in Sunshine Seasons and it was okay.

HS--I don't think we had any QS here.

Enjoy your trip!!
 
MK - Columbia Harbor House or Cosmic Rays

AK - Flame Tree BBQ

HS - Backlot Express or Pizza Planet... if you really have to eat in HS

Epcot - Tangerine Cafe in Morocco, or Mexico
 
MK: Best bet is to hop the monorail and have QS at one of the resorts. We like QS at Grand Floridian. The food is better than at MK, and the peaceful atmosphere is a pleasant break from the park.
Epcot: Tons of great choices here, especially in World Showcase. Pick a cuisine that appeals to you. (I like the brats in Germany, fish in England, anything in France!)
DHS: Not too many tasty choices here. We try to avoid QS at DHS.
AK: Flame Tree is OK. We try to avoid QS here, too.
DD: Earl of Sandwich is great. We loved it so much that we ate there twice during our last trip. You must try the brownies!
 
MK Breakfast - Main Street Bakery; for lunch also Main Street Bakery if you like sandwiches - they only have ham/ cheese and turkey/ cheese but they're really big and we like them - the desserts are great!!

AK - pizzafari is OK if you like pizza - not amazing but OK

DHS - we usually either goto Starring Rolls (sandwiches and really good desserts) OR go over to POFQ for their Po'boys and beignets (Po'boys are lunch only).

Epcot - got to agree with Sunshine Seasons although this year we're going to try a bunch of different CS in WS.

Poly's CS place is worth a mention for breakfast (the name of it is escaping me but DH really liked the Tonga Toast)

Saturday - Leaving :(

AK - Flame Tree BBQ. We found Yak & Yeti to be substantially worse than Panda Express.

HS - I'd probably go with Pizza Planet, but if you are going to be in a position to leave the park for dinner (say if the day at the park is done), I'd just eat at the resort (though I've never had food at POP). Pizza Planet is decent tasting pizza (the same you'll find at other Disney locations).

Epcot - several options. My daughter and I like the brats at Sommerfest but you should go with whatever is popular in the family.

MK - I would make early lunch reservations at Plaza Restaurant, which is table service but only about $5 more per person than you'll spend on counter service. If counter service is a must, then either Cosmic Ray's or Columbia Harbor House.

DTD - counter service dinner - hmm. We don't eat here very often but hear good things about Earl of Sandwich, though that might be a lunch only place.

Check out allears.net for menus and user reviews of all the restaurants at Disney. Easywdw.com also has good info on counter service dining, rating the top one's at each park.

Captain Cook's is the Polynesian counter service.
 
Magic Kingdom: Cosmic Ray's Starlight Cafe.

Epcot: Sunshine Seasons & Electric Umbrella.

Hollywood Studios: ABC Commissary & Backlot Express.

Animal Kingdom: Flame Tree BBQ & Pizzafari.

Downtown Disney Marketplace: Earl of Sandwich.

Contemporary: Contempo Cafe.

Boardwalk Inn/Boardwalk Villas: Boardwalk Bakery, Boardwalk Pizza Window & Boardwalk To Go.
