Questions:
1.What is your favorite breakfast place to eat? We normally eat in the hotel, continental breakfast, it's cheap

2.What is your favorite lunch place (in a park) to eat? That great mexican place next to Pirates of the Carribean, ummmmmm. The taco salad was very tasty.

3.What is your favorite lunch place (out of a park) to eat? Don't usually eat outside of the park for lunch. I'm not that picky so any run of the mill restaurant other than Denny's.

4.What is your favorite dinner place (in a park) to eat? California
Grill was awesome as was Cinderella's castle, we ate VERY well at both of the restaurants. The CMs were so friendly and talkative. The Earl's Poulet was out of this world at Cinderella's Castle.

5.What is your favorite dinner place (out of a park) to eat? Bob Evan's was rather good many years ago, not sure what it's like now. The Macaroni Grill was excellent as well.

 

[Disbug]

1) Breakfast? Boma's at Animal Kingdom Lodge or Trail's End Buffeteria at Ft. Wilderness (Cinderella's Castle is probably out if you don't already have a reservation....) FRESH restaurant at the Dolphin Resort.

2) Breakfast offsite? Perkins

3) Lunch? Animal Kingdom: Tusker House; EPCOT: San Angel Cantina Magic Kingdom: The Plaza Restaurant. EPCOT: Norway: Akershaus Restaurant...delicious and reasonably priced.

4) Dinner? California Grill at the Contemporary; OHana's at the Polynesian; Trail's End Buffeteria at Ft. Wilderness or the Hoop de Doo Revue; Artist's Point at the Wilderness Lodge has fabulous desserts. Boma's (once again) at Animal Kingdom lodge... Todd English's Blue Zoo at the Dolphin.

5) Stay away from?? 9 Dragons in China at EPCOT. I did not enjoy paying premium prices for take out quality chinese food. I also did not enjoy the food in Germany at OKtoberfest. But that may be me!

[gopherit]

1.What is your favorite breakfast place (on WDW property) to eat? Probably the family fave is Chef Mickey's. Just one of thsoe essence of Disney dining kinds of places! Dh loves the buffet...

2.What is your favorite lunch place (in a park) to eat?Sci-Fi feels soooo nice in the mid-day. The dark coolness of it is such a break!

3.What is your favorite lunch place (out of a park but still on WDW property) to eat? Rainforest Cafe is neat.

4.What is your favorite dinner place (in a park) to eat? We enjoyed Teppanyaki, tied with Garden Grille, which is good also. I liked Gared Grille better, though, when it had a menu (versus the "family style" dining.) I once had an excellent meal at Le Chefs but my dh and kids don't even like the looks of its menu...

5.What is your favorite dinner place (out of a parkbut still on WDW property) to eat? Whispering Canyon Cafe. Oh how I lovethe lodge! And so much fun.

6. What is a place that you would NOT recommend? Well, we personally felt Coral Reef was overpriced. I would only go there for lunch -- at most -- or better still, dessert. Just long enough to look at the fishies -- and not a huge bill.

 

[Rhonna]

1) Kona Cafe at the Poly - Tonga Toast and Kona Coffee - fresh squeezed mango/pineapple juice.

2) counter service: Columbia Harbour House in MK
sit-down: Hollywood Brown Derby in MGM

3) ?

4) Liberty Tree Tavern in MK - also Rose and Crown in Epcot - esp. if you can get a table to see Illuminations

5) Citrico's at GF - probably our best meal ever at WDW
Jiko's at AKL - running a close second

6) (PLEASE don't anyone flame me) - I know alot of people love this but we were very disappointed with Artist's Point at WL

Questions:
1.What is your favorite breakfast place (on WDW property) to eat?
On park days, we tend to bring our own breakfast and eat it: we have found that we get too late of a start if we eat a character breakfast or anything like that on a park day. That said,
hotel breakfasts-- Cape May and Boma's (if we are staying at AKL) and I love the weekend brunch at Fresh
park breakfasts-- late breakfast at Crystal Palace or first seating at Norway for the Princess Breakfast

2.What is your favorite lunch place (in a park) to eat?
MK- Plaza Inn (me), Peco's Bills (husband), Cosmic Ray's (son)
Epcot- the sit down restaurant in Morocco or the take out pizza stand near Test Track; the cantina in Mexico (the counter service) and the counter service in Morocco
AK-- Tusker House and Rain Forest Cafe (great AC break on hot days if staying in the park most of the day), Pizzafari (my son)
MGM- Backlot Express (counter service) and Brown Derby

3.What is your favorite lunch place (out of a park but still on WDW property) to eat?
we seldom do this-- but we like the food court at AKL- Mara-- nice variety-- and the food court at AS Sports (the spicy chicken sandwich and salads)
DTD-- the Earl of Sandwich and the House of Blues
resorts (when hopping around)-- the Afternoon tea at Grand Floridian and Kona Cafe

4.What is your favorite dinner place (in a park) to eat?
MGM- Brown Derby (son and husband) and Hollywood and Vine (me)
MK- Liberty Tree Tavern and Crystal Palace
AK- no real place unless eat at RFC when leaving
EPCOT-- lots of great choices-- Teppanyaki (spelling) in Japan, Garden Grill, Le Cellier

5.What is your favorite dinner place (out of a parkbut still on WDW property) to eat?
Boma's (good food, but iffy service at best when checking in), Jiko's, and Artist's Point-- top notch food
for entertainment or characters- O'Hana's, Whispering Canyon, and Chef Mickey's (early seating if possible)
for a special treat-- we like hoop dee doo

6. What is a place that you would NOT recommend?
my husband doesn't like Biergarten, but the rest of us do; the food at the sit down restaurant in Mexico is iffy; I don't like the food or character interaction at the Cinderella's Royal table; don't like AK Restaurantosaurus for breakfast; am not fond of O'Hana's for breakfast (good character interaction, iffy food); I don't like, but my son does, Mickey's backyard BBQ

 

[AladdinsPrincess]

Oooh this is fun...

1.What is your favorite breakfast place (on WDW property) to eat? Anywhere you can find a warm cinnamon roll! I think every park and hotel on site has a bakery where you can find them.

2.What is your favorite lunch place (in a park) to eat? The Fish n Chips place in England at Epcot, Burgers at Pecos Bill in MK, the BBQ place at AK (near the entrance to It's Tough to be a Bug), The Sci-Fi Theatre at MGM

3.What is your favorite lunch place (out of a park but still on WDW property) to eat? Kona Cafe at the Poly, Wolfgang Puck Cafe in Downtown Disney

5.What is your favorite dinner place (out of a parkbut still on WDW property) to eat? California Grille!

6. What is a place that you would NOT recommend? I think the pizza at Disney (any where you get it) is horrible!

[LAinSEA]

1.What is your favorite breakfast place (on WDW property) to eat? Boma at AKL

2.What is your favorite lunch place (in a park) to eat? Chefs de France at EPCOT

3.What is your favorite lunch place (out of a park but still on WDW property) to eat? Rainforest Cafe outside AK, Portabello's at DTD

4.What is your favorite dinner place (in a park) to eat? Brown Derby at MGM/DS

5.What is your favorite dinner place (out of a parkbut still on WDW property) to eat? Citricos at GF, Flying Fish at BW

6. What is a place that you would NOT recommend?
Fultons at DTD, food was excellent especially the king crab claws, but the service was horrid!

 

[DisneyDiver]

1.What is your favorite breakfast place (on WDW property) to eat? Oooh... bagels and bacon back at the villa (staying at a DVC resort, so just make brekkie ourselves)

2.What is your favorite lunch place (in a park) to eat? Rose and Crown (their sausage rolls are amazing!)

3.What is your favorite lunch place (out of a park but still on WDW property) I'd have to say Rainforest Cafe (Mojo Ribs!), or the Big River Brewing Co. at Boardwalk.

4.What is your favorite dinner place (in a park) to eat? Not a fan of eating in parks for dinner... I'm used to eating at around 8:30 in the evening (just the way I was brought up). I'd have to say Le Cellier if anything though.

5.What is your favorite dinner place (out of a parkbut still on WDW property) to eat? Hmmm... being technical here - Crossroads is apparently still WDW property, so I'm going to say Pebbles there. If that's not allowed, then definately the California Grill.

6. What is a place that you would NOT recommend?
Where to start... Capt' Jacks is awful, as is restaurant Marrakesh in EPCOT. Fulton's is overpriced with terrible service, and as someone else said - Disney pizza is comparable to a wet flannel covered in cheese.

If I was being brutally honest, I don't rate many WDW restaurants - of course, there are a few that are exceptional, but on the whole, the food tends to be either average, or average and overpriced. It's a bit of a shame really, I always feel that some of the places we try could be so much better than they are.

3.What is your favorite lunch place (out of a park but still on WDW property) to eat?: Wolfgang Puck Cafe at Downtown Disney. Great food.

4.What is your favorite dinner place (in a park) to eat?: Hollywood Brown Derby at MGM. Wonderfully elagant and great food. I really enjoy the golden age of Hollywood theming.

5.What is your favorite dinner place (out of a parkbut still on WDW property) to eat?: Probably Bomma's again. Good for breakfast and dinner.

6. What is a place that you would NOT recommend?: I wasn't overly impressed with Planet Hollywood. The food was fairly mediocre.
