Where would you eat?

[rsschneck]

For our Christmas trip we will be eating on the dining plan and we would like to try some different restaurants. We would like to get the most bang for our bucks since we are on the plan. We want good food and service. Keep in mind these are only dinner choices. We will need to eliminate the restaurant with the lowest poll rating.

Our group consists of DH, myself and 9 year old DD. We will be @ WDW before, during and after Christmas.

Thanks for helping and you can vote more than once for your favorite restaurants.

I picked Le Cellier because it is our favorite, but I would also not hesitate to eat (esp. with a DD that age) at 1900 Park Fare and LTT before MVMCP.

In a heartbeat I would eat at Le Celliar, Cape May Cafe clambake, Chefs de France, and Coral Reef. I have never tried Artist Point, but I would like to. I'm not too into the food at LTT, last Dec we did Ohana before the Christmas party and then took the monorail into MK. Any monorail resort restaurant would work well though, like 1900 park.

We did the dining plan last December and found it to be a very good deal.
We did LLT for dinner before MVMCP. We've done that one before each MVMCP. Really gets you in the mood. I LOVE the food and the characters.
We did Le Cellier. Let me tell you, you will really get your plans worth with this one. We had the cheddar cheese soup which is soooo yum and the filet mignon with mushroom risotto. I had the maple creme brullet (sp?) We saved so much money on the plan. We would do it again in a heart beat. We also did Brown Derby, Ohana's, Sci-fi and Prime Time. I hope you have a great trip!

Of the restaurants you have selected, my favorite by far is Artist Point. They have an excellent cedar planked salmon, and DH loves their grilled pork chop with tillamook cheddar mac and cheese. They also have some nice desserts, such as a berry crumble, and a nice maple dessert sampler. I also really like their smoky portobello mushroom soup.

We've also had good meals at Chefs de France and Le Cellier. Have not been to Park Faire or Cape May, and didn't really care for Liberty Tree.

Magic Kingdom - Tony’s Town Square Restaurant
Epcot - Future World - Coral Reef
Epcot - World Showcase - San Angel Inn
Disney MGM Studios - Hollywood Brown Derby
Animal Kingdom - TIE - Flame Tree Barbecue / Pizzafari (counter service only) *
In the Resorts - California Grill
Downtown Disney - House of Blues

* There is only one sit down, table service eatery of note in the Animal Kingdom, (The Rainforest Cafe, which is not one of my personal favorites.), but the park closes early, so you might want to schedule a dinner at one of the resorts or Downtown for the day(s) you visit that park.

Enjoy.

For value, Le Cellier is fantastic. There've been rumours that it could become a "Signature Dining" restaurant (two table service meals).

We had a big family dinner at Chefs de France which we all enjoyed also. The atmospher is lighter and perhaps more kid-friendly, but I don't think you can go wrong with either.

For the night of MVMCP, I would recommend eating at LTT (character interaction is so much fun!) or 1900 Park Fare. Definitely do 1900 Park Fare If your dd is into princesses . I think it will just add so much magic to the whole MVMCP experience! I would definitely recommend the earliest seating you can get at either of these so as not to cut into your "party activities". I am not sure if you know this, but you can get into the park starting at 4:00 using your MVMCP ticket. They will give you a bracelet as you enter the gate.

As for restaurants in general, of all your choices, I picked Lecellier because I just love their food! Plus as others have said, it does give you alot of bag for your buck! Have a great trip!

I am surprised Coral Reef is coming in last. One last bump for more voting.

Thank everyone!

 

[cyjmhill]

I voted for Coral Reef...I really liked it!!!

You'll get the most "bang" out of your credit at Le Cellier. Yet, I voted for 1900 Park Faire if you celebrate Christmas. I think it might be nice to have all the face characters wish you a Happy/Merry Christmas.

any other voters out there?
