so many choices...help with adr's

[kha100399]

Hello, I need everyone's expert opinions.

First let me start by saying, we have been to WDW once before, and did the deluxe dining plan. We had a fabulous time thanks to these boards. This was a short trip as I was 6 months pregnant.

This time we are going for 9 nights. We will be doing a split stay and doing hald regular and half deluxe dining plans. This leaves me with 19TS. I think I planned more easily when it was just a few because then it's your top choices.

About us, DH is an adventurous eater, me, not so much. The kiddos are fairly easy to please. We all LOVE breakfast and character meals as we use that as our down time and this way don't wait in line to meet characters in the parks. Buffets work well since we eat so differently. Although I do want to try I few different places for DH's sake.

Okay sorry for the book, we had such a great time on our first trip, I don't want to let anyone down being the planner. So I came to you all......help me narrow this down to 19. THANK YOU SO MUCH if you read this far

Here's my feedback on the places I've been to on your list!

Breakfast:
boma: LOVE Boma for breakfast! Great variety!!
kona: Kona is great for a relaxed sit-down breakfast! Love the tonga toast and macadamia nut pancakes!
crystal palace: The food is ok but for me, the reason to go here is for Eeyore. It's also nice if you get an ADR before the park opens so you can snap some family pictures on main street without tons of people in the background!

Dinner:
h+v-L: I ate here a few years ago before it was a character dinner. The food was fine; nothing special that I would go out of the way for.
sci-fi: This is all about the atmosphere! Food is pretty average.
biergarten: Nice buffet and service was great! Our CM was an older gentleman and he was teaching the kids some German.
spoodles: Good food, good service. Atmosphere was casual and very enjoyable.
mama melrose: This place gets a lot of mixed reviews but we enjoyed it. Food was better than your typical Olive Garden and the service was good.
le ceiller: Good food but the tables are crammed together and you always wait past your ADR time. It's gotten to be too popular!
boma: LOVE Boma! A wonderful variety and the service has always been good. Plus you can roam around the resort afterward and look at the animals.
