Your Special Restaurant

[ThanxForNoticin]

For us it's Boma. The food is different than what we can get at home and always very good. The atmosphere makes us feel like we really are at Disney.

Agree 100%. Boma just has a very special feel and is our favorite - followed closely by 'Ohana.

A few years ago, my answer would have been Tony's for breakfast, but that is no longer a breakfast spot.
Now, I would have to say Crystal Palace for breakfast.
We never do hotel meals, takes away from park time.

I think that Liberty Tree Tavern is prolly the closest I have to a special restarant. I love the food but my kids will miss the characters. I also like Whispering Canyon.

its the simple colmbia harbor house at MK. We eat lunch there everytime we are in MK!

For me and my family it is the Crystal Palace. We only ate at CP for the first time in 2007 and now has a very special place in our families hearts and is a must do.
We love the atmosphere, the airiness of the place, the fact that we are eating in the Magic Kingdom and the friendly servers. It is our first morning tradition for a breakfast at CP and then a great day in the Magic Kingdom.
I can't wait for a few years and it will be a big family vacation and all of us able to go to the Crystal Palace.

Ohana's. We are "home" once we arrive for our traditional first night dinner. It is "our" place. Even the singer/entertainer recognizes us now! Our trip wouldn't be complete without Ohana's. We love the vibe, the food, the views, the smells..aaaahhh..

Geeeez! What I was going to say..almost word-for-word!

O'hana sets the mood for the entire trip!

I feel so left out, I just haven't gotten attached to any one place yet. Although, we do have ressies for Cape May Cafe on our first evening... maybe the beginning of something wonderful

EVERYONE says Crystal Palace...!

I'm just not the Winnie the Pooh fan I used to be and my kids aren't, either. DS, 12, would probably eat anywhere (food, right?!), but DD can take or leave Pooh - she's all about princesses.

Do you guys STILL reccomend it that much? Or is it for those die-hard Winnie and Friends' fans?

Ohanas for dinner. Ate there for the first time in December for our Christmas trip our first night there. Amazing... had my huge birthday dinner there in April, and now we are going again Saturday night (again, our first night for this trip). It is so warm and welcoming and happy. and yummy!

Mine is Ohana's character breakfast. Its my oldest dining memory as a child. My entire family still loves dining there every trip. Our trip is not complete if we don't have breakfast there!

Our special "we're at WDW" place is, of all places, Tangerine Cafe sitting at the outdoor portion to the right, nearer the rest rooms. We have to eat there at least once a trip, at around 8:30, then stay sitting there for Illuminations. While it may not be the best, most "up front" spot for seeing Illuminations, not many people go back to that area, so we can see well enough, especially for as many times as we've seen it.
I have to laugh at all the people who said Crystal Palace. Years ago it was my favorite place to eat at WDW, that is, before it became a character meal with a buffet. Back then, it was a cafeteria-much more peaceful at relaxing to eat there.

I feel silly posting this, but if we don't eat at Cosmic Ray's at least once a trip - something's not right!

Not the world's greatest food - but it's good, comes in handy at the right time, and we enjoy the talking trash can out front when we can find him!

For Dinner: Either Artist Point or Citrico's. The staff at both always recognizes us, we love the look and feel of both places and we've had consistently good meals there.

For Lunch: I can't go to WDW without having a long, civilized lunch (with martinis!) at Brown Derby! It makes me feel like I've stepped back in time, and the service and food are always top-notch!

We're be eating at all three in October!!!

[joonyer]

We also go like 'Ohana for dinner, and go there every trip. We really like the food and atmosphere, and although our boys are older now, our regular dinners there bring back special memories form when they were little and had such a great time participating in the coconut races and hula hoop contests.

[Rich Mc]

I must say favorite is Citricos! Food, Service, Room... all great!

[goofball]

Narcoose's is our favorite. We eat there every time we go. I have a bunch of others that I love but I simply can't skip Narcoose's. I always schedule our dinner during Wishes. It is just the most romantic and deleicious place in the World IMHO.

[Lillygoose]

I will cast my vote for breakfast at 1900 Park Faire. We have never been disappointed in the food selection and there always seems to be something new to try that we didn't see the last time! It is all good!

[cjdami]

Well there are a few....but my fave place to eat is LeCellier in Canada. Their steaks are just totally yummy!
Chef Mickey's is another fave for breakfast!!

But I have to say that DH and I would go to Victoria and Albert's every chance we get! The food, service and ambience is like almost nothing anyplace else we have been!! It's one of our faves!! We just love it!

[SallyMcQueen]

Even though we have only been there once, it was the most fun meal we had....Biergarten. It was so relaxed and the music and food and the were great. This may sound silly, but when I walked into the bathroom it was like stepping back to my childhood. I grew up in Milwaukee and every supper club/restaurant we went to had a bathroom that looked like that. I can't wait to go back!
