We have tried a lot of places over the years, either by just stumbling upon them, talking to other travellers, staff etc. or by recommendation here. We have a few chains which we default to if we don't find anything new that takes our fancy, as we have had consistently good meals at them, but don't mind trying somewhere new. There are a few new places at City Walk which we may try this trip. The foods in Orlando is good but keep it mind that it does focus on the mass tourist market rather than specialist, local cuisine. I just don't like anticipating what and when I'm going to want to eat months, weeks or even days in advance. Sometimes we will wake up with a rough plan to eat dinner somewhere and by the end of the day, we fancy somthing else, so we do something else. The pressure to have to be in a particular place by a particular time really doesn't appeal - especially since Disney charge for indecision. Since we travel in peak time, places do get busy offsite, but we just go with that and relax at the bar until a table is ready. If they give us a pager then we may browse nearby shops, too. I'd start by looking at what's nearby when you arrive. There are some good suggestions here to help you. But, go with what YOU like. People have rave about Bahama Breeze, for example, yet we have never found it anything other than mediocre. Doesn't mean it's not a great place to eat, just means it's not for us. (And actually, our most disappointing meals have been onsite...so I guess that says a lot about offsite dining).
