I just copied and pasted my answer from another thread on the same subject:

All the table service places take PS's, though some of them always have seating available.

Okay, let's start with Disneyland - if you want to eat at Blue Bayou, you have to make a PS. They require it. It doesn't mean that you won't be waiting for a table, but you need a PS. I would also strongly suggest making a PS for Carnation Cafe if you choose to go there, as they have limited seating and the wait for a table can be long and agonizing at times. Cafe Orleans is also table service, so you could make a PS for that. If you eat at Minnie and Friends in the Plaza Inn for a character breakfast, make a PS. Since that is very popular, a PS is necessary. But you do not need to make a PS for the Plaza Inn during non-breakfast hours because it is buffeteria-style. I am not sure if Rancho del Zocalo takes PS's or not??

In DCA, Wine Country Trattoria takes PS's, but there always seems to be lots of seating when I go. Make a PS if you choose to eat at Ariel's Grotto for a Princess meal.

In the hotels, Storytellers and Napa Rose at the GCH both take PS's. In the DLH, Steakhouse 55 and Goofy's Kitchen both take PS's. In the PPH, the Lilo and Stitch buffet at the PCH Grill takes a PS, as does Yamabuki.

In Downtown Disney, DEFINITELY make a PS for Rainforest Cafe (the wait can be up to an hour!!!), and it would be good to make one for ESPN Zone as well (also very busy and crowded but great food). Naples takes PS's but they always have seating available. There is also LaBrea Bakery, House of Blues, Tortilla Jo's, Ralph Brennans Jazz Kitchen and Catal. I think you can make PS's for most of those.

Tortilla Jo's has gotten some bad reviews - a couple of folks got food poisoning after eating there.

Hey Sherry, this was exactly the one I was referring to. Thanks, extremely helpful.

I was trying to decide if we should do the DTD experience the night we arrive. We would be getting to our hotel around 2pm so there's some time to go to the pool, check out the hotel and grounds then mosey over to DTD for a relatively early dinner (our first day at DL is a MM).

Any suggestions of must have's for dinner at DTD?? TIA

I think DTD is best done on a day when you have no plans to be in the park, or when you have to escape the huge crowds in the park. So your plan sounds good! You're staying at DLH, right? Or am I all confused (as usual!)? In any case, yes, you will have lots of time to wander around the DLH and see the nice waterfalls, koi fish and mini-Jungle Cruise boats, and also see the GCH property if you have not seen it. Check out the huge lobby and hearth area, etc. In DTD, I really like Rainforest Cafe (but it can get crowded so that's why a PS is good), but they have a lot of choices on their menu and the decor reminds me of the Jungle Cruise, Tiki Room and Treehouse at DL all rolled into one. I also really like ESPN Zone's food, but you wouldn't want to go there if you wanted a quiet, relaxing atmosphere. SInce there are games on every TV in ESPN Zone, and lots of customers, it is very busy. But the food is good! And I like Naples. They have different Italian food on the menu but they also have generously-sized pizzas - even the smallest pizza can feed two or 3 people (depending on your appetite). Some folks do not like the pizza there, but I think it's pretty good. And their other food is good too. So those are my 3 picks for DTD. You could also try eating at Steakhouse 55 in the DLH or Storytellers (non-character meal) in the GCH.

A lot of people rave about Ralph Brennan's Jazz Kitchen in DTD, but I have not yet been there. I would be leery of Tortilla Jo's, however!
