Can anyone suggest a good place for a TS meal within walking distance of EPCOT? I am there during free dining and having a hard time getting ADR's in Epcot. Any suggestions?
The Epcot resorts (YC, BC, BWI, Swan and Dolphin) are all within walking distance of Epcot and there are many great restaurants there. Among others, I would recommend Flying Fish, Yachtsman Steakhouse, Captain's Galley, Il Mulino, Blue Zoo and Big River Grille.
I'd highly recommend Spoodles. On the Boardwalk - go out the International Gateway in Epcot and either walk or take a boat. There are other restaurants on the Boardwalk - Flying Fish is good but I believe they are two credits. The ESPN club does not do ADRs but I think they take the dining plan. But Spoodles is the best! We love their appetizers which aren't included in free dining but worth ordering a flatbread to share. It is DD's favorite appetizer in the world. They also have a garlic shrimp appetizer that is great.

Most of those either take two TS credits, or in the case of Swan/Dolphin, aren't eligible on the DDP. I think Big River isn't eligible because they are outside participants who opted out.
I suggested Spoodle's at the BW and Captain's Grill at the YC because they are 1 TS credit each on the plan.
To confirm what someone mentioned re: ESPN Club. It is true that they do not take ADR's but are part of the dining plan. We actually took the boat over there last November for a late lunch / early dinner and we were on the DP.
We love ESPN Club at the Boardwalk, we go every trip. Great atmosphere and food and big portions. They are on the dining plan and seating is on a first come first serve basis.
I've also heard a lot of good things about Beaches and Cream @ the Beach Club. They are also on the dining plan and seating is first come first serve basis as well. Haven't been yet, but we are planning to eat there on our next trip in September. Hope this helps!
