    Grand Floridian Cafe and Kona Cafe are two of my favorites that are not too sought after. Trails End Buffeteria is also a hidden gem if you want to venture over to Fort Wilderness.

    The Wave at The Contemporary was awesome! Just tried it last spring. Can't believe we never tired it before. Definitely going back!

    We were very pleasantly surprised on our last trip when we decided to try Mama Melrose at the Studios. One of our best WDW meals ever. The food and service were great!

    The first thing that comes to mind is the Plaza at the MK and at EPCOT Via Napoli.

    Venture over to a couple of the resorts - Boatwrights at Riverside is a family favorite that we hit regularly, and Olivia's at Old Key West is one of the seriously hidden gems at WDW.

    We enjoy Maya Grille at Coronado Springs Resort, Paradiso 37 at Disney Springs, Boatwright's at PO Riverside, Captain's Grille at Yacht Club
    And it isn't a trip to Disney if we don't have breakfast at the Grand Floridian Café and Kona Café.

    In addition to the great suggestions you have already, I'd add Portobello at Disney Springs, and Sanaa at AKL. I think Portobello is more "hidden" than Sanaa - both are excellent.

    I really enjoyed Trattoria al Forno on my trip last month. It was so good that we ended up making a second reservation during our trip. I highly recommend it!

    Love the breakfast buffet at Captain's Grill at Yacht Club! Also really like Kona Cafe for lunch. And Bluezoo at the Dolphin.

    Kona Café and the Wave are two of our favorites. We also love Boma but I think that's fairly popular.

    We fell in love with the Captain's Grille when we stayed at YC for the first time last year. They have an amazing breakfast there. You can choose from the buffet or get plated meals. Their hash browns are the best I've ever had in my life.... IN MY LIFE!! We also love the Grand Flo Café for breakfast as well... a favorite!

    We are also fans of the Plaza Restaurant in MK. Great place for lunch.

    We finally tried Portabello a few years ago for a late lunch/early dinner one day. We were blown away. The food and service were fantastic. We definitely have to get back there again.
