1900 Park Fare
Chef Mikey's - both breakfast and dinner --- prefer dinner.
Crystal Palace
Whispering Canyon - my daughter had the best steak ever here and my other daughter and I got the skillet!
Chef de France - this was our first time and absolutely loved it.
50's Prime Time - we will NEVER go back...the food, in our opinion, was horrible and the worst we've had at WDW. Also, the entertainment was zero!

Although some don't like the buffets, we love them. Such a variety of food and I love trying most (in little portions of course!!!).

Chef Mickeys-dinner-disappointed-i would rather wait in line for Mickey.

Crystal Palace-breakfast--very good!

50's prime time--standard. Good cast interaction-which is our reason to even go.

Garden Grill--spectacular! This is our must do!

Akershus-ok. probably wouldn't do again.

T-Rex--good food--VERY LOUD.

Coral Reef--terrible service, standard food.

Tusker House--breakfast--best on property, IMO

Cape May--dinner--our first time, loved it, going back!

Garden Grill..liked it. Id go back
WCC..well the skillet is all you can eat. idk i thought it was just ok. Ive tried it for lunch and Bfast.
Cape May. never tried. my friend would probably like since its buffet & seafood. wonder about the price. now a bf w my gf probably wouldnt b worth it cause she doesnt eat enough to justify.
did have CRT booked for last trip but we had to cancel that trip
Ohana. never tried, heard differing views some say the food isnt as good now and its hard to get in.
50s..see 2 differing opinions right there. i think most go for the interaction. i ate there once it was ok.
Chefs dF..had a great meal then another time a so so...
T Rex, never again..
Le Cellier..like the pretxel bread. its just too hard to get in now

we went in 2011 June..

50's prime time - i love this restaurant but the time before we went in 2011 i didn't like my food too much, but last time i got the fried chicken and i loved my meal. ds ate a lot of his little kids meal pasta.

teppan edo - all of the picky people in our group loved this place! my BIL had never been to a hibachi and he is picky as they come. we always love our experience here but i think we'll go to tokyo dining next time

biergarten - this was right up MIL and mine's alley. it's my must do and the food was great and i never forget a tall stein of beer. the picky eaters didn't each much but they still had a good time, i think.

pizzafari - no complaints
flame tree - good as always

sci fi drive in - BIL hated the ribs (and so did dh) but everyone else liked their meals and they thought it was a cool experience

casey's - the buns were a little stale last time, but those corn dogs dipped in mustard or cheese are always worth it!

the bakery on main street - i had never been before and it's one of my new favorite little places. i think it will be a new tradition of ours to get BF here on our mornings at MK.

harbor house - never disappointing we always love this place

tortunga tavern (sp?) - i honestly never noticed this place existed but i was pleasantly surpised. it was a good little meal for our 1 year old (although he did get choked up on a tortilla and I had a semi-complete meltdown in front of everyone from freaking out about it)... but they have a toppings bar and it's great for picky eaters

backlot - had never been here before, and probably would ahve enjoyed it more had it not been on star wars w/e. i love that they have a refill beverage station and the burgers WERE good...

fulton's crab house - as pricey as it is, it's nice to go to a 'fancy' dinner on a vacation. our family loved their meals and the restaurant. got ds (1) spaghetti and they hurried up and made it and brought it out first (thank you!)

got a fanta float at that ice cream place in tomorrow land and it was delicious.

cosmic rays - had a burger and fries here one afternoon and don't remember much about it.

Captain cooks for Lunch- It was actually really good!

Ohana for dinner- It was delicious as usual but there were some disappointments (see my post from today)

Lunch at Crystal Palace- Was really good! I really actually liked the food and the Pooh characters were very interactive and fun.

Last trip I was only there for 1 day before geting on the cruise, but we tried the new TS in Mexico Hacienda De San Angel. It was very good. It's open for dinner and if you time it right you can catch Illuminations with an amazing view of the lagoon. I love Mexican food so I am biased but they had chorizo fundido appetizer that was fantastic.

We also had a light lunch at Via Napoli in Italy which was not our first time, but we always enjoy it. There were some tables outside and we had a nice, leisurely lunch. They have personzl sized pizzas which are more than enough, great wine and drinks.

Last trip, was a short one for us- five days, just the husband and me.

During Food and Wine Fest, so plenty of that.

Yachtsman Steakhouse (Not good for us, won't go back).

Bistro de Paris (one of our favorites, we always love it).

Grand Floridian Cafe (Lunch, very good but not extraordinary).

Snacks at Tambu Lounge, Crew's Cup Lounge, both good. Also Cantina de San Angel (love it there).

San Angel Inn, surprisingly good meal (we always go there and I'm always surprised when it's good due to amount of negative reviews).

Hot dogs at Casey's. The new gourmet Chicago style was good but hard to eat, overloaded with toppings.

Beach Club quick service, mediocre but convenient (we were staying at BC).

Yak and Yeti (lunch, convenient and okay, but certainly not a must do for us).

We ate at the following in November 2011:

Tony's
Ragland Road
Captain's Grille
Grand Floridian Cafe
Via Napoli
Mama Melrose
Boma's (Thanksgiving)

All were very good except for Mama Melrose. Just bad service and the food was so so. In the past, we've loved it there. Not planning on dining there this November.

At the end of January 2012, we ate at the following:

Narcoossee's - Fabulous food, even better service.

Yak & Yeti - Very tasty. Very pleasant.

Coral Reef - Food was good, service was great. This was a special occasion - we were treating our son and his girlfriend and her parents (we hadn't met them prior to then). He proposed - she accepted. The entire staff (and half the patrons) were in on the secret. It was great.

LeCellier - this was a late lunch. Excellent steak. Service was excellent as well. We're from the Pacific Northwest and our server was from British Columbia so geography played a part in the interaction.

'Ohana - Lots of food, lots of fun. We were there with our son and future DIL the day after their engagement.

Kona Cafe - great place for breakfast, lunch or dinner. This is one of our "go-to" places when we can't decide what to eat. We ate a late lunch here.

Kona- Had breakfast here and its my favorite. I've never had a bad meal there. It will always be my top choice for each trip!

Whispering Canyon Cafe- We had dinner here. I will definately go back! The food and service were great!

Raglan Road- We really liked this place and glad we got to try it. Food was good.

50's Prime Time- Always love love loved this place! The atmosphere was great and the food is delicious. The desserts are very good.

Sci-Fi- Gave this place another try after the first time and we still didn't like it. Won't be going back. The food was just average, not many options to choose.

Liberty Tree- I'm not wild about this place just because it's more like a Thanksgiving meal. DH loves it every time.

Coral Reef- LOVED it. Food was good, service was great.

Mama Melroses- We go over time. DH's favorite. I enjoy the atmosphere.

The Wave- I was disappointed that the menu wasn't larger, but what I was served was fine.

Chef Mickey's- For breakfast. This is my favorite. Terrific atmosphere and yummy food.

Captn Jacks- We'll never go here again. Simple, bland food.

Hollywood and Vine- Never here again either. Food wasn't very good and we felt the place was dirty.

Last trip we had free dining Nov. of 2010 and did:
Kouzzina (loved the Sagnaki app and the traditional whole fish!)
Akershus (Nice pic with belle and we love the cheese : )

Tutto Italia (YUM!)
O'hana (We tried it for the second time but were still not really impressed - probably won't do it again.)
Le Cellier (Yum!)
50's PrimeTime (good but nothing special)

We have free dining again in the fall and are doing:
Tusker House (new for us - lunch with donald and friends)

Narcoossee's (new for us)

Hoop Dee Doo Review - Love the place - but hated they did not have the sixpence that has played sixpence for the last many times we have been there.

Cinderellas Royal Table had breakfast here - even did the Her Royal Highness package - yes, the food is not ALL that great, but its good, and well, it IS the castle.

Le Cellier - We actually sat down and decided we were not really wanting heavy food at the time (however 20 minutes before we were raving about the steaks we were about to eat) - so we did several appetizers and desserts - love the children's moose - make sure you order one if you eat here.

Chef Mickeys Good place for breakfast, but I think I am getting tired of it - it just did not hold all the excitement it used to for me.

Pecos Bill The best counter service ever! Order a taco salad and enjoy the all you can eat fillings at the "fill-er-up" station.

Liberty Tree Tavern Thanksgiving dinner in May? I think so :mickey:

Tokyo Dining really like it, but hate that they don't do fried rice, just steamed rice.

Next up in August:
Rose and Crown is all so far....
