I can certainly understand why they would not be impressed with tony's..the food is mediocre at best.
For a great meal at disney, try Artist Point, Jiko, Flying Fish.
If you want something a bit cheaper, try Boma.
In the parks..try Le Bistro, Chefs de France, Alfredo's.
If you are looking for a great lunch try Liberty Tree Tavern.
For a great breakfast, try Fresh, Boma, Spoodles or Kona Cafe.
