OK gals and guys I'm interested in your opinions. I'm curious what you're absolute favorite theme park and resort restuarants are? (sit down or counter service.)

MK- The sit down meals are just OK I do not have a favorite there, if I had to pick one I like the princess Breakfast in the castle, we thought the food was really good. Tony's was average and Liberty Town Tavern..the food was dry and overcooked. The Crystal Palace had a good Breakfast.

Epcot-Le Cellier was good but coming from NYC we have great steakhouses so I didn't get the hype.

I am going back this August with the family and I am going to snack around the worlds in Epcot..I heard that is really fun and delicious.

Resort- California Grill CR
Spoodles
Ohana's- breakfast and dinner were both really good- POLY :wizard:
 
My choices: MK: LTT; EPCOT: Coral Reef; MGM: SciFi; Resorts: Olivias at OKW, BOMA at AKL, Concourse Steak at Contemporary, WCC at Wilderness Lodge and Boatwrights at POR. I so wish I was there NOW.popcorn::
