I would say to try other resorts for dinner. I see it's your first time at a Disney resort, but have you been to Disney or seen the other resorts?
Since you are on the dining plan I would use that oppurtunity to try different places. Check out allears . net to see menus. My favorite was Ohana dinner at the Poly. We had breakfast at Boma which was great but we also tried Ohana breakfast, Crystal Palace, Chef Mickeys which were all fun.
Next trip we are going to try Via Napoli or Tutto in EPCOT, WCC in Wilderness Lodge (DD choice, can't be avoided) 1900 park fare in GF and Cape May in Beach Club.
Good luck with your planning and have a great time at AKL!
