Nevermind...i just checked my facts & I was wrong about my DxDP restaurant suggestion.

Bongos is good.

Me, DS 7 and DD 8...need a dinner restaurant. We're on the deluxe dining plan. Any suggestions?

T-Rex doesn't take Dining Plan, but Rainforest Cafe does and we really enjoyed our breakfast and lunch there.

I assume you're looking for a Table Service restaurant then, but I still am going to recommend Wolfgang Puck Express!

Raglan Road... its is very kid friendly and they have a live band and dancer in the evening. Its one of my DDs favorite... and has been for years.
Personally I would not eat at Rainforest or Planet Hollywood even if it was free... awful and over priced... did I mention the food was awful?

I agree with the Raglan Road suggestion and the advice to avoid Rainforest Cafe and Planet Hollywood. Both of the latter are fine for their atmosphere, but the food is truly terrible. Actually, in the interest of full disclosure, I have not eaten at either at WDW, but have eaten at them elsewhere and have never been even remotely satisfied, much less pleased, with the food. Since they're both chains, the food is going to be the same everywhere and hence I suspect just as poor in WDW.

I haven't been to the Wolfgang Puck Cafe in several years, but we enjoyed it when we last went. I also agree that Wolfgang Puck Express is quite nice and unique, although it is CS and you sound like you're looking for a TS.

The one I'm looking forward to trying is Paradiso 37, although I'm not sure whether it accepts the dining plan. The menu looks like lots of fun, but since it's mainly small plates, I'm not sure how it would work on the DDP.

Wolfgang Puck Cafe is our favorite in DTD. The macadamia crusted chicken is amazing.

I have to agree 110%!!! My fiance and I love the macadamia crusted chicken!

And Raglan Road offers a 20% military discount! NICE!

Since you are on the Deluxe Plan my suggestion is Fultons.

I totally agree. I know Fulton's is not on the regular dining plan, but if it is on the deluxe, this would be my suggestion. DH and I pay out of pocket every other year for this treat -- we love it.

We like House of Blues, Raglan Road, and Paradiso 37.

Honestly, I've had good meals in most of the restaurants in DTD. The only ones I would avoid would be Rainforest, Planet Hollywood and Cap'n Jacks.

I forgot to mention that at Earl of Sandwich you get either 10% or 15% off your total bill if your a member of AAA/CAA, by just showing them your membership card when you pay.

We're Wolfgang Puck Café fans!

We love Raglan Road, but I'm not sure about the atmosphere for kids that age. Do they like Irish music?

As for Planet Hollywood, it's a chain so there are plenty of places you can go and find one of those. But if you only go to Disney for vacation, then by all means try it out.
