What five table service restaurants would you choose?

[Cannot_Wait_4Disney]

These aren't necessarily my favorite 5. But all are favorites in what I would consider their category. Ie these are 5 that will give your family a nice variety of experiences. Sort of a 5 restaurant whisle stop tour of Disney Dining. All are dinner seatings unless otherwise noted.
If you have younger kids, take out Boma and do Crystal Palace for Breakfast instead.

Table
1. Spoodles
2. Ca Grill (wishes seating)
3. Chef Mickey's
4. Boma
5. Chef's De France.

If I were choosing 5 TS (1-credit) restaurants w/ no children, I'd probably choose the following:

1. Magic Kingdom Area - 'Ohana
2. Epcot Area - Le Cellier or Chefs De France or San Angel Inn or Coral Reef (choosing an Epcot restaurant is hard! )
3. MGM - Sci-Fi Dine In or Mama Melrose's (for the FDP)
4. Animal Kingdom Area - Boma

5. And breakfast at Chef Mickey's

For counter service restaurants, I'd choose the following:

1. Magic Kingdom - Columbia Harbor House
2. Epcot - Sunshine Seasons or the France Counter Service
3. MGM - ??? (We eat at Toy Story Pizza Planet for our kids, but it's not great...)
4. Animal Kingdom - Flame Tree BBQ
5. Downtown Disney - Earl of Sandwich

We are taking our 2nd trip to WDW in the fall. Our choices for this trip

One Table Service Meals
Coral Reef
Biergarten
Sc-Fi Theater
Breakfastosaurus

Two Table Service Meals
Hoop-De-Doo Revue....


Our last trip we chose

One Table Service Meals
Boatwrights.... Great atmosphere, great food, and lots of it
1900 Park Fare-we wished it had a broader food selection (not being a fish or red meat eater)
Chef Mickeys...a little more crowded than I would like, but great Character interaction

Two Table Service Meals
Hoop-De-Doo Revue


We liked Cosmic Ray's at MK for the variety of choices. They have different ordering sections which was a big hit for us. I am not a red meat eater, and dd is a vegetarian, and dh likes for his cow to moo ....we all ate and were very happy with the choices given.

We also liked Flame Tree BBQ at AK. It had a great flavor (ribs or chicken), lots to eat, and a beautiful seating area...under the trees, next to the water.

We didn't care for the food at The Norwegian place in Epcot. Too many carbs, and it isn't a hot meal. Neither did we care for Pizza Palace in MGM. The pizza was gross, the salad was OK, and the highlight was the Mickey Rice Krispy Bar and chocolate milk. The lines were long, and then there was no where to sit. Definitely WON'T be doing Pizza Planet again!

I also have 5 TS credits for my trip in September, and part of my decision has to do with where I want to be when. So far I've got Coral Reef and Chefs de France (Epcot nights), and California Grill for my non-park night. I've got to pick one more TS resturaunt, but first I want to decide which park I want to go to. For example, no sense picking TTS if I want to go to MGM!

 

[Pooh_Friend#1]

Sounds like Le Cellier is a must try!!!!

 

[petrymom]

We loved the Princess Breakfast in Norway (Epcot) - Askherus or something like that. Loved the potatoes at breakfast. (from last trip)

for our Christmas trip I have the following planned (If I get ADR's):
1900 Park Fare - Cinderella supper
Crystal Palace
Le Cellier
Chef Mickey's
Whispering Canyon
ESPN club
Sci-Fi Diner

We will also go back to Cosmic Ray's (CS) because we LOVED The food!!!!!

5 ts meals.....hmmm...

1. Crystal Palace breakfast
2. San Angel Inn

If you don't want the character meals, then I would add Marrakesh and still keep the Crystal Palace because it's my favorite.
