Rest. that's special to you?

[ANG]

Other than just because you like the food, any particular restaurant that has special meaning to you. Why?

It's Narcoossee's for us. We first dined there in 2007, when I was pregnant with DS. We were on our babymoon and we had dinner at Narcooses's, where we were able to view Wishes during dinner. Afterwards, we took the boat from the GF to the Poly and watched the EWP from the dock. Just a little while later there were fireworks from the P&P party, which we watched from the beach. It was just a very memorable night and so Narcoossee's is a sentimental favorite.

It's the Maya Grill for us. We went to DW for the first time in 2006 for our honeymoon and we stayed at CS. We dined there the first night. It was our first moment to truly appreciate being married and how awesome the wedding was. Plus we were planning what to do on our trip (we were total DW novices haha).

We could finally relax. There truly is no stress with Mickey around

Artist Point for me.... DH and I were on our honeymoon in Oct of 2001. Since it was shortly after 9/11 we were about the only people in the parks and resturants too. We ate some very interesting foods and enjoyed each other. It was a wonderful evening.

For us it's Crystal Palace breakfast. The first year we took our kids they were 3 and 18 months. We took them to an early reservation at CP before the park opened and it was a truly magical experience. Seeing them enjoy an empty main street and then enjoying their first character meal was priceless. It was truly magical meal. We now go back every year.

Trail's End Buffet. We always went there when the kids were growing up. It holds alot of great memories for us. We still go there almost every trip. We do miss the old Pioneer Hall atmosphere. It was a perfect place to unwind when the day was coming to a close.

Ohana's. We ate there on our first night on our first "family" vacation. We make it a tradition to go back there on our first night of every vacation now.

Ohana After we were married in an intimate ceremony at the WL, we had our wedding dinner there. In my wedding album I have pictures of us all hula hooping and doing coconut races!

Another vote for Trail's End

Although its not necessarily the best restaurant or food, Rainforest Cafe Animal Kingdom was the first restaurant we ate at Disneyworld and is an every trip tradition now.

It no longer serves breakfast but Boatwrights for breakfast is my most "special"....it was a place we "tipped our hats to" when we were leaving the "world".....kinda our last stop before heading home.... I sure miss the food there.....!!!!

Hands down for me it's The Hollywood Brown Derby. After a long day at the Studios my family walked in without a ressie. It was late and the place was quiet and uncrowded. Just what we needed. Great food with a relaxed atmosphere.

This was our first Signature Dining experience and it really wowed us. The service was fantastic as was the food. We love going back, as this restaurant seems more upscale and intimate than other top end Disney places.

Narcoossee's!

DH and I dined there on the first night of our honeymoon. We got the the Grand Flo to check in around 4:00 pm (our TA at the time booked a late morning flight with a transfer, so we didn't get in early like we do now). We were starving and didn't have any ADR's (didn't need them then), and asked for a good restaurant close. The CM said Narcoossee's is excellent, and made an ADR for us.

We walked in (luckily dressed appropriately), and were seated. We had an amazing meal, and were treated like royalty. The server we had is still working there to this day. We love seeing him there when we visit.

We now have to dine at Narcoossee's EVERY trip!

Mine would be Artist Point. When my boys were young, that was our grown-up night. My mom was with us, we would get a baby sitter and the 3 of us would go have our adult meal. She's since passed but we still go (now with the boys) each trip.

Two actually....

Tony's Town Square - The first sit down meal during our honeymoon and my first WDW trip.

California Grill - fabulous restaurant and our most often choice for a special meal at WDW.

[GroovyTeach]

Crystal Palace. It was where we ate dinner on our honeymoon on our first day there...my first visit to WDW. I am a Tigger fanatic and my DH made reservations there just for me! Michael, our waiter sang us a love song. This was in 2003. Last summer, he was our waiter again at the CP where we took our daughter!

[SingingLights]

We have been going to WDW with our daughter since she was 2 years-old. She has worn glasses since she was 14 months old and when she was small, some people would shy away from her. I am not sure if they thought she might be very ill or if the glasses made them feel uncomfortable or if it was just because she was different from most toddlers. BUT we had the best experience with characters at Cinderella's Royal Table than any other place we have ever been to. In fact our second visit to WDW, Esmerelda from Hunchback was there that morning and she picked her up and carried her around the restuarant. Said she wanted to keep her and she even sang to her. It is one our favorite memories of all times. I am getting teary just thinking about it.

[beksy]

Mine would be Chef Mickey's. It was our first character dining experience, even if we were 19 and 25! My sister had always dreamed of going there and she had also always wanted Mickey waffles. She is not an early riser, but we got to breakfast an hour early! The look on her face when Mickey came around is priceless, as are the pictures of her in her Mickey shirt holding up Mickey waffles! That's what Disney is all about!

[artyboy]

Brown Derby, hands down. The place reminds me of one of my best friend's favorite places to eat...his Country Club. I spent many a time having a late lunch over a martini or two.

My friend has passed away, so I have at least 1 or 2 lunches here per trip (straight up martini with a Cobb salad). Can't not go!

[CanadaLovesDisney]

Tony's Townsquare would have to be our family's special place. We started out going there for breakfast when it was offered and now we always make sure to go for dinner. The atmosphere out in the sunroom is just amazing. Magic Kingdom is our favourite and they are always so good with my sisters allergies that we always go back! The food is nothing out of the world but its great and the atmosphere together just makes it all worthwhile!

For a counter service it would have to be columbia harbour house. After riding everything possible at magic kingdom we all relax for some fish n chips and the old ship theme of the inside of the restaurant just has a special feel for me!
