    Default Your favorite Disney restaurant??

    We’re leaving within the week and although we do have some ADRs, I’m not so confident in my choices at this point, so I’m asking anyone who cares to reply to tell me their favorite restaurants at WDW and why. It will be my DH and my DD (over 21) in our party of 3. We already have our Chef Mickey reservation (even at our ages) it’s a must but any other suggestions and reviews would be greatly appreciated!
    Been there, done that...CAN'T WAIT...going back!
    1971 (YES, 71...tour the trailers that housed the miniatures of the rides, resorts and property), 72, 73, 74, 75, 76, 77, 78, 79, 01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06, 07, 09, 11, 12, 13, 15, 18, 19 and soon....20!

    Who can choose just one favorite? I love so many of them! Narcoossee's, California Grill, probably the top two. But many others, for various reasons. Sanaa, Grand Floridian Cafe, Tokyo Dining, Chefs de France, San Angel Inn (generally not a popular favorite, but one I always enjoy). Most of my favorites are at resorts not parks, or World Showcase, and we rarely go to Disney Springs formerly Downtown Disney but will have to get back there to try all the fabulous new places there. My family is now all grown up kids, too, so different choices than if I had little ones. Enjoy your picks!

    Of late, we really like Tiffin’s in Animal Kingdom. The lounge is great for a respite out of the heat. Restaurant has good variety: we like the octopus appetizer. Nice atmosphere; different Africa theme in each dining room. This one is our “go to” place during every visit.

    More informally, we like Tusker House (also at AK): Really neat buffet for breakfast or lunch. It’s a character dining experience, which we don’t care for, but it’s OK if you like that sort of thing.

    More fancy (read: expensive), but great service and delicious offerings, is Monsieur Paul in EPCOT. We only do that one for rather special times (like as part of a package for the Candlelight Processional).

    Hard to go wrong, but these are our favorites.

    We are 3 adults and the others have food allergies so pretty much all meals are at TS. Our favorites are:

    Breakfast - Crystal Palace, Tusker House, WCC, Trail’s End, Boma, and Cape May.
    Lunch - LTT, Hollywood Brown Derby, Tutto Italia, Coral Reef, and Rainforest Cafe at AK.
    Dinner - Boma, BOG, Tony’s, Chefs, Le Cellier, and 50’s PTC.

    I think that it is perfectly normal to question your ADR's the week you are leaving. You've been planning a trip for a while! (I drive my husband NUTS the week before our trips, doing the same thing, so of course it is normal ;-) )

    That being said, our favorite Signature meal is the CA Grill. (He also likes Artists Point). Our other favorite is Sanaa.

    My husband and i go twice a year...just thebtwonifnus....We tried the breakfast buffet at Tusker House in AK on our trip in March and definitely doing it again in December. Kona at Poly has a very nice breakfast menu too.

    Dinner...we love Le Cellier, our favorite! We also really like Liberty Tree Tavern in MK. Everything there is amazing and the best dessert ever in our opinion. Cape May Cafe at BC is one of our faves also!

    'Ohana: This is a vote for my favorite dining "experience" (not just food quality), especially for a family with kids. We visited there every trip when our kids were young, and we always left feeling like we had experienced the Disney magic! The open fire pit grill, the music, games, and the fireworks view, all are great. And the food is pretty darn good too, especially if you are a meat lover. And the bread pudding for dessert is fabulous. Save some room. You should 'Ohana at least once if you have never been.

    I think if you asked 25 people this question, you'd get 25 different answers! But it's fun to think about it. For us, it's probably Sanaa and Morimoto's (Disney Springs). 'OHana had previously always been on our list, but we've been a bit disappointed there with menu changes the past few years. BUT - as mentioned above, if you have not experienced 'OHana, you should consider giving it a try!

    Everyone I have taken to WDW LOVES breakfast at Crystal Palace. Even if they say they don't want to see characters, Eeyore always does them in.
    I'll meet you at the Rainbow Bridge.

    California Grill is the best meal I've had at Disney ever! I also enjoy breakfast at Kona Cafe and lunch or dinner at Sci Fi - the food isn't amazing but the atmosphere is fun!

    Most of my favorites are ones that haven't been mentioned yet-bona has my favorite, favorite breakfast. I'm not crazy about their dinner-just too hectic. For lunch I like Liberty Tree Tavern, Yak and Yeti, Grand Floridian Cafe, and (really) Nine Dragons. We rarely do a big dinner, but when we have, we enjoyed Olivia's, Sanaa, and Artist Point, although I understand Artist Point is changing.

    Via Napoli at Epcot! I've only been there twice...both with fellow Intercotees, and both times the food has been amazing, as was the company I was with. The servers were super friendly and accommodating. I'm also a sucker for Trails End Buffet at Fort Wilderness...good old fashioned country cooking. Yum!

    We love the Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater. We love the atmosphere. When my boys were little that was always one of their requests. Now that they are adults with their own children, it's their choice still along with Chef Mickey's for the character experience.
