Which two TS meals at Epcot?

[TerriGW]

I'm planning my family's first Disney trip for Sept. Our group includes myself, DH, DS7, DD5, DD2, and my mom. We're doing the free dining plan. We're staying for 6 nights, but are going to Hoop Dee Doo which leaves us with 4 more TS meals. So far I have AR's for the Princess Storybook Dinner, CRT lunch, and Liberty Tree Tavern dinner. I'm planning to do CS in AK and MGM and use the last TS in Epcot for lunch (on a different day). My first thought was to have lunch at Le Cellier. But after I got in at CRT, I started questioning whether I should keep the Princess Storybook Dinner because it looks like alot of the characters will be the same. I started thinking about the Garden Grill instead. Even though the menu reviews don't sound very good, I think we might all like that chocolate fondue! So keeping in mind that we've already got CRT, which two meals should I schedule at Epcot: Princess Storybook Dinner and Le Cellier, or Le Cellier and Garden Grill? Or none of the above? If so, which ones?

From what I read, the Princess Storybook Dinner in Norway did not get the best reviews, there were even some complaints about the characters there. The food did not sound very appetizing and it was quite expensive. Of couse this really depends on how important it is for your children to see the princesses twice. If you already got them revved up for it then maybe leave it alone, but if they don't know anything about it, the I would go with Le Cellier and I'm not sure what else, I don't know enough about the "new" Garden Grill. It really depends on your kids tastes, I would look at the menus, then decide.

Teppenyaki seems like fun!

IMO, we were at the Princess Dinner at Norway, if you could skip it, I would my children 9 & 11 did NOT like the food at all, neither did my hubby and I. Especially if you have the CRT, then you would not need to see the same characters twice, the only character who was there that we did not see in the parks was Arial, only because we did not want to wait in line to see her at the Gratto..We did love seeing the characters in the Garden outside of France in Epcot. (Belle, Arora and Emerelda) . I vote for LeCellier..

Thanks for the input. I hadn't considered Teppanyaki. Is it any different than the average Japanese steakhouse?

Here is my Epcot TS plan:

Norway Breakfast
Teppanyaki
LeCellier

Teppanyaki is not much different that your typical Japanese steakhouse, but it is DH's favorite. It is very good -- just not outstanding IMO. But it's his vacation too, right?

 

[bwallace]

Definitely Teppanyaki would be first choice.
Probably Le Cellier next

 

[novastar]

also, if you like a certain type of food like mexican or morrocan, you can try those ones.

Teppanyaki is very similar to Benihana. It's hibachi cooked food prepared right in front of you.

I'd go (and I am going) with Teppanyaki and Le Cellier...

We did the Teppanyaki in January. The kids enjoyed it at the time but have not requested it for the next trip. We picked Le Cellier & Chefs de France this time.

So you would pick Teppenyaki and Le Cellier over the Rose and Crown? I planned Le Cellier for lunch and Rose and Crown for dinner (and Illiminations).

we were going to do Le Cellier, but now since we've decided to upgrade to one SIGNATURE meal, we were thinking about the Yachtsman at YC. Do I really want to do all that red meat over the course of a week

 

[PrincessCandaceMarie]

I'm going to Le Cellier and Les Chefs de France ! YUM!

 

[DisneyJen0504]

Le Cellier and Teppanyaki are my picks.
