Hi,

My Mother and Father-in-Law are WDW veterans and are heading to DL for the 1st time. They are staying at Paradise Pier for 5 nights and getting the Dining Plan. Any recommendations on places to eat and must sees are greatly appreciated. Thanks!:goodvibes:goodvibes
 
Plaza Inn for great chicken, mashed potatoes, green beans, and delicious choc. cake. My favorite meal at DL.
 
If they haven't gotten the dining plan yet, I would recommend that they don't. It is nothing like the dining plan at WDW. It is a voucher system and if you don't purchase the exact same amount as your voucher, you are going to spend more or lose money because you don't get change.

I love breakfast at The River Belle Terrace! If they want to splurge, The Blue Bayou is a must. The ambience cannot be beat as it is in the Pirate of the Caribbean ride.
 

Thanks for all of the tips so far and the link. My MIL is going to call to try to cancel the Dining Plan. It sounds like more of a hassle than it is worth. We like the dining plan in WDW. We are surprised that they are so different.:thumbsup2

If you're looking to splurge, check out the menus for Steakhouse 55 (DL Hotel) and Napa Rose (Grand Californian). These are two of our favorites. If you're looking to spend a bit less, but still want table service, we like Cafe Orleans (in New Orleans Square).

For counter service, we enjoy Pacific Wharf and Taste Pilot's Grill (DCA), and Plaza Inn fried chicken and Troubadour Tavern baked potatoes (DL).
 
LOVE Napa Rose.. but it's a splurge. We never miss Storytellers and Blue Bayou!
 
Thanks for the responses. My MIL was able to cancel the dining plan and saved over $500. She figures that for as much as they eat, they will be able to eat pretty well for that amount...even splurging a couple of times. Now she just needs to make ressies.:goodvibes
