*Resort Dining

[DisneyaHolic23]

We are trying to eat in every Disney restaurant. We have pretty much eaten everywhere in the parks, Boardwalk, and Downtown Disney, and have just resorts left.

Which resort restaurants would you recommend we try on our next visit??

Artist Point @ Wilderness Lodge.

Boatwrights at POR and The Captain's Grille at the Yacht Club...both were great!

I like olivias and the grand Floridian cafe. Of course the ever popular Jiko is fantastic.

Ohana at the Polynesian

We actually really enjoy ESPN Club, and this trip we are also trying Boma, Grand Floridian Cafe and Kouzzina.

Cape May at BC is good if you like seafood

Well, duh. You said it yourself: all of them.

On a trip-by-trip basis, I'd go with convenience based on whatever resort is closest to the park you're doing each day. Then there are some no-brainer combos, like Boatwrights on a night when you want to catch Bob Jackson's show rather than go back to a park. I'd do no more than 2 Signatures in one trip and the rest regular resort TS locations, in order to spread them out.

And don't skip the resort CS locations, either. There are some real hidden gems among them. My favorite lunch on a MK day is Capt Cook. Contempo Cafe is also good. But to get the most variety you need to go to the resort CS locations for dinner. Unlike the CS in the theme parks, I think all of the resort CS offer expanded menus at dinnertime. Salmon, chicken, even steaks for your CS meal credit.

But in the end, to meet your most worthwhile goal, no matter what food reviews you read here, you must go to every.single.restaurant at WDW just so you can say you have fulfilled your quest!

I am so loving your responses. I should have added one more thing - our goal is also to stay in every Disney resort. So far, we have done them all except, any of the DVC (but we have done Wilderness Lodge, Yacht & Beach Club, and AKL) the All Stars (but doing one night at All Stars Movies on our next trip) and the Contemporary.

So, if you have any suggestions (including the wonderful ideas already given) at the resorts at which we have not stayed, that would be particularly great. We have eaten at California Grill, Chef Mickey's and The Wave, and I don't think we are allowed to go to Top of the World at Bay Lake, so we have done many at the Contemporary.

As I look over what is left, I think Quin might be right - it looks like we should make sure we do counter service restaurants... Any particularly good ones in addition to Quin's suggestions?

Try Trails End at Fort Wilderness it's a short walk from where the boats let you off. It's basic comfort food but very tasty, really good fried chicken. I would also suggest Boma at AKL and Whispering Canyon at WL.

Pepper Market at Coronado Springs. CS

OK then, in that case don't overlook Olivia's at Old Key West or the Turf Club at Saratoga Springs. I don't normally suggest either as destinations, but they both serve good food. And eating there provides a way of getting a preview of their respective resorts.

In addition, remember that you can take a boat launch from DTD to either one. That can turn the evening into something of an adventure!

Boma, Jiko, Sanaa at AKL/AKV .. All 3 are great!

Grand Floridian Cafe at GF... Good food in a lovely atmosphere.

Olivia's at Old Key West.. Laid back, excellent food

The GF Cafe is a great place for breakfast!
