Reservation choices to be made

[Tikitoi]

We need 14 of them. This is to be our last trip to WDW for 2 years. So want to make it special. I went back and looked at all our meals at our favorite restaurants, and this is what I came up with:

Tutto Italia
Coral Reef
LeCellier
Rose & Crown
Sanaa
Chefs de France
Ohana
Yachtsman
WCC
Yak & Yeti
ESPN
Beaches & Cream
Boatwrights
California Grill
Jiko
Cape May (breakfast)
50's PT
Sci-fi
Olivia's

So which of those seem worth it?....TIA

I would keep the pink highlited ones. Some of the ones i didnt choose werent because I didnt like them....but they just didnt stand out. ESPN for example is nothing special. There's nothing that stands out about that place or makes it unique. 50's was just alright. And I didnt really enjoy Le Cellier to be honest.

I can only comment on the ones I've been to:

Tutto Italia- We love Italian food, so this one is a hit with us!

Coral Reef- This one is fun to eat at, especially if you can get a table up by the glass.

LeCellier- This one is a must for us! I always have to get the filet mignon.

Ohana- Another good place. However, we've fallen in love with Kona Cafe a little more!

WCC- Such a fun place and another must for us! We always have to ask for ketchup!

Yak & Yeti- We have had great experiences here for both lunch and dinner. Another must for us!

Boatwrights- We've only been there once. It was good, but nothing exciting.

California Grill- Be sure to plan your ADR close to Wishes!

Olivia's- We love Olivia's. We've been there for both breakfast and dinner. OKW is such a relaxing, beautiful resort. This would be a great place to eat if you're planning a day or night at DTD. The boat dock to DTD at OKW is right outside Olivia's.

You have a lot of good restaurants on your list! If they've been your family's favorites from the past I wouldn't change a thing unless you are willing to swap out a few for something new.

Are you staying at AKL? I ask because you have Jiko and Sanaa on your list. If not I'd only choose one of those. I would not go to Boatwrights. I do not think it is good, neither does my DH.
Haven't really been to enough other restaurants to comment any more.

Both LeCellier and Ohana were booked for the week we are going, when I called. Boatwrights and WCC both have that "homestyle" food that's why we loved them. Thanks for the confirmation about Olivia's and the boat dock to DTD. I had just read about that today never knew, after going there at least 5 times Learn something new everyday. But that would be perfect for arrival day, since our first day is set to be at DTD! Y&Y DD loved, but $18 for Lo Mein Coral Reef, haven't been there in years, so time to go back.

I know...so many choices, so little time. I've always said we need a good 10-12 days. Because this doesn't even count for the ones going off site!

Thank you for that. And good catch. We certainly are staying at AKL. So, yes that is why both Jiko and Sanaa are on their. I wanted to do Boma, but can't remember which day they have ribs and don't even know if there will be enough time. Lots of sacrifices.

Thanks everyone.

Well, if you want 14 from that list, you only have to cut 5. I would cut: Boatwrights, ESPN, Whispering Canyon Cafe (I had to do quite a bit of google searching to figure out what WCC meant, lol). If you weren't staying at AKL I would say cut 1 of the 2 AKL restaurants. I wasn't a fan of 50s Prime Time. It was fun to do once, but I wouldn't go back. So there's 4 to cut...not sure what the 5th would be. I guess Olivia's, Beaches & Cream, or Sci-Fi.

Sorry about that with the WCC. But I can agree to cutting Beaches & Cream and maybe Le Cellier. I gotta go and study some menus.

Getting there...but does anyone know what nights ribs are served at Boma?
