Restaurant Recommendations

Okay, I'm now within my 180-day window for ADRs. My trip seems to be shaking out this way: six or seven days at WDW, one day at US/IOA, two rest days. The party will be made up of two adults and one 12 year old boy. It'll be trip 25 or so for me, and the first trip for the other two. We're staying very close to WDW at an off-site villa.

I'm thinking that we'll probably do one counter service and one full service restaurant a day. Because of the hot and humid weather, that heavier meal will probably be dinner.

Any suggestions? Right now I'm looking very hard at Le Cellier, Chefs de France, Coral Reef, Yak and Yeti, Brown Derby (especially if I can get us into the Dine with an Imagineer lunch or we get the Fantasmic! package) 50's Prime Time and Sci-Fi.

Of the above, I've only been to Le Cellier and Chefs. I've also eaten at the Rose and Crown and might consider it if it gets us great seats for Illuminations.

At US/IOA I'd like to try Mythos since it's always closed at the time of year I typically go.

Suggestions? Which restaurant would you use for the first day at the parks? We'll almost certainly be at MK that day, but I'm torn between "closing" the park that day or heading over to Epcot that night.

For your list I have only been to Sci-Fi and 50's and we prefer the 50's over Sci-Fi, both with the food and service. We didn't have good service at the Sci-Fi and really weren't impressed with the food so we are not going back for our trip in Sept.

Thanks! I'm hearing great things about 50s Prime Time on this site. My only concern is that the type of food they serve isn't my favorite.

What kind of foods do you like? I'm a pretty picky eater and I love this place. Maybe, I could suggest something to you?

The restaurant is one of my favorite TS places-it's so fun & the waitstaff is hilarious!

So far ever trip to the mouse we have made we always start at Epcot and have a nice dinner. Last time was rose and crown for illumination, this time is Le Cellier Yum! If you want to go to MK have you thought about Crystal Palace? Getting some character interaction in to start off your disney days? Or going to Tony's to watch the electrical light parade on the patio? We are going to 50's for the first time this trip so I will know what it is like after the first of June
