We have just about finalized our dining plans for our 12 night stay (POR) at Disneyworld in November. We decided to go with the dining plan again on this trip. We would love to hear any comments/opinions.

Table Service:

  • Crystal Palace - very early breakfast before park opening
  • Garden Grill Dinner
  • Cape May Breakfast
  • Liberty Tree Dinner
  • Coral Reef Dinner
  • Sci-Fi Dinner
  • Cape May Dinner
  • Ohana's Dinner
  • Whispering Canyon Cafe Dinner
  • 1900 Fare Breakfast
  • Chef Mickeys Breakfast
  • Need to pick one more but not sure which one yet - may decide to do two nights at Ohana's as that is our favorite table service.

Counter Service:

  • Columbia Harbour House
  • Sunshine Seasons
  • Flame Tree Barbecue
  • Be Our Guest Lunch
  • POR Food court for breakfast on most mornings when not doing table service breakfast

How about something from the World Showcase? Tutto Italia? Akershus if you want character dining? La Hacienda de San Angel around Illuminations time? Rose and Crown? Les Chefs de France is one that I like. (Of course, I like ALL of the places I mentioned except Akershus, because I never ate there.)

You have so many of our must do's in your list - what about something in Disney Springs or AK. By the time your tripnoccuts the new restaurants in AK will be open as will the ones is DS. I mention this because it seems like the majority of those on your list are in MK area or Epcot. Another one of our favorites is Narcoossee's.

Did you check out the dinner menu at Boatwrights? Right there at POR. I've always enjoyed their pasta or jambalaya. And some of the best desserts...

You picked all of my family favorites! The only one I would suggest is try Be Our Guest for Breakfast or Dinner IMO those are better meals than the lunch and another vote for BOMA (just incredible) otherwise, nice planning!!
