Reservations required?

[korbbec]

We have a few places picked out that we would like to dine at, but don't want to be too tied down with reservations. I was wondering if others think they are necessary at the following places or if we could probably get preferred seating at each park in the morning, or a few hours before we want to eat. The places we were wondering about are:
Coral Reef in Epcot
9 Dragons in Epcot
(Morocco) in Epcot
50's PT Diner in MGM
The polynesian- not ohana, or the cafe, but the other restaurant

any advice? Thanks.

You will definitely want to make reservations for at the very LEAST the Coral Reef and the 50's Prime Time Cafe. Restaurant Marrakesh in Morrocco and Nine Dragons in China usually have some walk-up availability, but you could always call or visit your resort lobby concierge to make reservations a day or so before. As for the restaurant at the Polynesian, I'm not sure which one you mean. If it's not 'Ohana or the Kona Cafe, that only leaves Captain Cooks (the "food court" in which you don't need reservations) or Disney's Spirit of Aloha Dinner Show performed Tuesday-Saturday in Luau Cove. If that's what you're referring to, you absolutely need to make those reservations in advance, as well.
