Where to take a first timer

[RobinHoodGirl]

Getting into full-swing into planning a Nov trip and my one my friend has never been to Disney...

Me and travel-mates have decided to try the Deluxe Dinning Plan because I don't want us to come back from our trip and go "Man... I wish we could have gone here for [insert meal]! It looked like a cool restaurant/heard good things about it/ect..." (I'm a Disney foodie)

If you had to select one place to take a 30 year old first timer where would you go? Also the other traveler is a picky eater (even in his late 20s), so places that we could get a hamburger would help but not needed.

Please note Le Celler is on the list. This is my Birthday Day meal and darn it, I will eat there *ON* my birthday!

MK- Tony's
DHS - Good Food & Fun Prime Time
Epcot- Japan, Tutto or Coral Reef

CRT Dinner? (Maybe not now that it's a charater meal, but eating IN the castle is cool!)

Biergarten

What hotel are you staying at? I'd recommend some restaurants at hotels based on your location.

I agree with 50's Prime Time! And maybe Coral Reef just for the atmosphere.

Kona Cafe might be nice for your group. My husband can be picky at times and he has found many things to eat here. He does prefer breakfast to dinner so he can get either the Tonga Toast or the Big Kahuna breakfast. Plus we just really enjoy the Polynesian Resort.

Biergarten is a lot of fun and we have always had good meals there. Not sure if your picky friend will enjoy it as much, but I've heard that picky eaters usually can find things to eat here.

Marrakesh is SO much fun! One of our favorites. The food is wonderful and we have experienced very good service here. Plus the belly dancer and sitar player are very cool. You might want to check the menu to see if it will please everyone, though. The chicken kebabs are always a hit with my husband and son. Although, this past trip my husband tried the lemon chicken and liked it even more than the kebabs. My son tried the shish kebabs and LOVED them.

Have a great time!

We're staying at a Value (not sure POP or ASMo yet) but I'm not ruling out hotel restaurants. In fact a hotel restaurant could be great for our first day since we're not planning on visiting parks that day and hotel hop so we can see other resorts

I have to say, if you can, eat at the resorts because from my experience, they offer much better selection than the in-park dining.

Beach Club Cape May Cafe
Yacht Club Yachtsman Steakhouse
Boardwalk Flying Fish
California Grill
Boma at AKL

My suggestions for in park dining would be
