All look like great choices to me. We love Boma, enjoyed Sci-Fi Diner last year and I'm looking forwatd to trying Teppan Edo this year. I'd forgotten about The Wave but might give that a go as well.

All excellent choices Have you thought about dinner at CP? It was one of our favorites and the food was lovely. Although it had loads of raves I wasnt that keen on the food in teppanedo but im in the minority.DB loved it so we are going to give it a miss this time.Sci fi although gets not good reviews we liked that but each to there own but you have some lovely choices.

Yachtsman was so good we asked to see the manager after dinner and told her how great our waiter & food was !

Thanks

We fancy CP for breakfast for our first morning.

Im glad you said Yachtsman is nice as the plan is to go there on my 40 th !

Seen very little about Via Napoli I fancied Le Cellier but thought that would be better for lunch and we seemed to have a lot of steak last year.

Looks like a really nice mix of places, character meals for the kids and some great table service places as well

We loved Boma for dinner and also really enjoyed the Fantasmic dinner at MM

We are trying Via Napoli on out next trip and the reviews look great

The food at the Tusker House breakfast was really good as well

I have reviewed a few of these places - click the link in my signature

I'm sure you will enjoy munching your way around the world

Crystal Palace (breakfast ) - Not a fan of buffets(used to be) going again this August but only because we will have a 3 y old with us, wouldn't go if no children.

Mama Melrose fantasmic package - Giving it another go this August, I didn't really enjoy but I ate way too much calamari starter(which was for 2 people) spoiled rest of my meal, my own fault.

Boma - another buffer which we used to like but don't anymore, done Boma twice, can't see us going back again.

The Wave - trying in August

Garden Grill - One of our most enjoyable meals, great food and excellent character interaction.

Olivias - OK, nothing special, won't rush back as there are better places but if stuck for somewhere then no objections to returning.

Teppan Edo - So good we cancelled The Wave and ate here twice last August.

Yachtsman - As above excellent food but even better service, For a Yorkshireman to tip $30 it must have been good It was one of the most enjoyable meals we have ever had.

Gran Floridian Cafe - Been twice and on reserve list for this August, nothing outstanding but no complaints.

If you are going for your 40th make sure you tell them in advance, it was our 21st Aniversary, got personalised menus to keep and a little gift see pics.

We really enjoyed teppan edo and yachtsman last trip.

Wouldn't go back to olivia's for dinner - worst food of our sit down meals.

I've finally started my dining reviews (from england to okw on the restaurant reviews board) - just put up pics of teppan edo and will do yachtsman and olivias later this week hopefully.

Restaurants we went to last year and want to return to
Crystal Palace (breakfast ) Really enjoyed this and on our return list
Nine dragons
Mama Melrose fantasmic package Favourite choice for F! package
Boma
Sci Fi diner
Tusker House (breakfast ) LOVED this - booked again for May

New ones we want to try
The Wave
Garden Grill Been here 4 times - not returning again unless they change the menu as we found it very poor last time and even the excellent character interaction didn't redeem it!
Via Napoli
Olivias - very disappointed - small menu and just not good food or service
Teppan Edo - another one we love
Yachtsman Was excellent first time - last time in November it was OK and for the money you are paying I want good or excellent!
Grand Floridian Cafe Another one were we had one good meal so went back and both our steaks were overcooked - not returning anytime soon.

Sounds ok ?
Still Waiting for August park hours !

Comments above - the only one I really would avoid is Garden Grill. The others I would give another chance to however we like eating offsite too so we only do a few restaurants each trip. Have you considered Kona Cafe? There we really enjoy and we have a CM friend and it is his and mates favourite too!

Via Napoli is outstanding, delicious, authentic and wonderful for pizza. That's all we've ever had there because its amazing. I've heard mixed reviews about the other dishes.

We prefer Shula to the Yachtsman but then we don't have kids or the dining plan (not sure on the DP for you) Your children are old enough that the setting would be fine for them in Shula but they may have more fun in YS.

Nine Dragons was just ok. Not great, not bad, just ok. Service was very good.

Sci Fi Dine is a must a least once of the experience and fun. I'm sure the kids will LOVE it. Great milkshakes!
