Sanaa is wonderful. Get the bread service. And all of the sauces. So good. We liked Whispering Canyon but it's been several years since we've been there. As for your quick serve, love love love Satu'li Canteen. One of the best on property. We have done Be Our Guest for breakfast. We enjoyed it. And it's a great use of quick serve credit. As for the remainder I guess it depends on where you are. Magic Kingdom, Columbia Harbour House is one of our favorites. And it has a great upstairs where you can sit and watch all while being in A/C. Epcot, Sunshine Season is very good. And you get quite a bit. Disney Springs hands down Wolfgang Puck Express (breakfast and lunch/dinner) and Earl of Sandwich. My daughter loves EoS. I hear good things about Chicken Guy and Deluxe Burger. Also Blaze Pizza. Haven't been to any of those 3. We really enjoyed Capt. Cook's at the Poly. They have a pulled pork nacho that is absolutely delicious.

Another vote for Wolfgang Puck Express for QS . Great variety of menu item. Another QS in Disney Springs is Polite Pig if you like BBQ. If you can give some info about your party that would help. We are 2 Adults without children so our views may be different. We have always done Crystal Palace for breakfast and really enjoy it. It is the first ADR I make.

Table Service...

Sanaa is a wonderful choice. Bread Service is a must order for the table. Get the bigger one with all the dips.

Crystal Palace is good. But I will say its nothing remarkable food wise. You wont be disappointed. But you probably wont be wowed either.

Whispering Canyon is a lot of fun. Food is fine.

Akershus really depends on if you like Norwegian food. I happen to enjoy it and the character interaction is great. But honestly, I would try to get the Trattoria Al Forno(located at the Boardwalk where spoodles/cat cora was) Royal breakfast instead and do a quick service that evening for dinner. Great price for a fantastic breakfast with Rapunzel, Flynn Rider, Ariel, and Prince Eric. Food and characters are great here and even the food has great theming. Honestly, I believe it is the best character meal on property outside of dinner in the castle. This breakfast is VERY popular since it opened in the last 2 years.

Hacienda de San Angel is a good option. Right on the water in Mexico. Avoid "San Angel Inn" located inside the pyramid. Mediocre at best. Although, if you are looking for waterfront dinning in world showcase, I think "Spice Road Table" is the best. Really great menu in my opinion and its a little more unique than Mexican food for Americans. But still easy to handle.

Tusker House is great. Awesome Buffet. We also like Yak & Yeti at animal kingdom. Best Burger ever.

Sci-Fi is good and incredibly fun.


Quick Service Recommendations...

What you already have are great options. Satu'li Canteen is incredible. Id recommend the beef and chicken bowl with the rice and the charred onion sauce.

Id say Katsura Grill(Japan), Tangerine Cafe(Morocco), Sommerfest(Germany, noodle gratin is to die for, best Mac n cheese), Les Halles Boulangerie-Patisserie(France), and Sunshine Seasons(The Land Pavilion) are all great Quick-Service options. These are all at Epcot.

Pecos Bill's in the Magic Kingdom is great as well. It's a self service Taco Bar with unlimited toppings.

Flame Tree BBQ in Animal Kingdom is good as another option.

I really like the burgers and the Fried Green Tomato sandwich at Rosie's All American in Hollywood Studios.


I hope this helps!

Wow! Thanks for all of the amazing help We have a 3, 6 and 8 year old for those wondering above. I will definitely be looking into the character meal suggested.

Also, my son will have JUST turned 3 before we go so I was stuck paying dining credits for him. Do I have to buy him a meal at a TS or can he share off his siblings plates and we can save up his TS credits for another meal?

Thanks again!!

This is just my two cents. We usually make it to Disney about once a year and I love trying new places and going back to a few select favorites....Hope it helps:

(TS)
Sanaa..............this place gets wonderful reviews. We are really hoping to try it on our next trip. Budgets and time are the only reason we have not already been
Crystal palace.....We tried this for the first time in January and I was so pleasantly surprised with the food at dinner. The salmon was one of the best things I had all week
Whispering canyon.......We have not been here in a while so I cant comment. We did go to the new Artist Point [dinner with Snow White, Eveil Queen, Grumpy adn Dopey] and it was AMAZING!
Askerhus....we had lunch here in January. It was our first time back here in many years and it was really good.
La haciendo De San Angel.........I read lots of bad review. You can get mexican food at home so I would look into something more unique like Biergarten or Chefs De France. Just my opinion
Tasker house-river of lights package....I hear great things about this place!
Sci-fi diner....I hear mixed reviews and just have not booked it yet. You may not all sit together. You may be in a car like setting with some people in front of others. Just something to consider...I might skip this and save the money adn eat at Back Lot Express...

(QS)
Woody's lunchbox...YUM! Try the totchos [tater tots with nachos - sound weird but tastes great] or the grilled bbq sandwich. THe adult lemonade is WONDERFUL!
Satu'li canteen...Their food looks great! I hear great reviews..
Be our guest...breakfast is about $25 so Id go for lunch...its a better price point and has better food at lunch
*still need 4 more

Here are a few more QS suggestions since you said you need four more:

When we had the dining plan , we went to BOG for both breakfast and lunch. Breakfast at BOG is about $25 per plate so usingi a dining plan credit really gets a lot of band for your buck.

Morimoto Street Cart and the Polite Pig at Disney Springs are great QS locations. Morimoto's has the delicious ribs that they sell in the main restaurant.

We love the QS at all the different countries in Epcot. Some of our favorites are the bakery in France, Lotus Blossom in China and the QS in Japan.

Thanks again!!

If it is a buffet or shareable (like Via Napoli pizza) everyone must use a credit
If he will eat off of an entree you order, you can save his credit
