I like both ... I would skip Rainforest, it's a chain you can enjoy in many malls across the USA, go for the Disney places you can only get at the original! :mickey:Quote:

I would go for the Riverbelle Terrace if it is open because of the one service line. They are getting a new menu too.
But, personnally I totally love The French Market. Especially when there is a band playing there.
Well, as someone that just ate at the Plaza Inn about 3 weeks ago, I can assure you, the lines are not confusing. There's one line for salads and deserts, two separate lines for Chicken/Roast beef entrees. There are signs above every station that tell you exactly what the line is serving.Quote:

Great people watching, too! :mickey:
My vote would be for Plaza Inn also! Like Michael said...the fried chicken is OUTSTANDING! Actually, everything I've had there is good! The portions are HUGE and can easily be share by two people. When I'm not hungry enough to get a full meal, I'll order the kids fried chicken meal. For less than $7.00 you get a drum stick, mashed potatoes and gravy, apple sauce, a biscut with butter AND and drink! It's one of the best deals in the park!
My DH would eat every meal during each visit to DLR at the Plaza Inn (specifically the chicken) if we let him.
I like Riverbelle Terrace for a leisurely breakfast.
I really enjoyed the Cobb Salad I had at the Plaza Inn a couple of months ago, and my kids enjoyed their chicken and macaroni. :tasty:
I like eating outside there. Nice atmosphere.
Thanks for the responses.. but I have a follow up question now.. from the way you talk about RiverBelle Terrace it sounds like it's not a sit down and be served place? So would they take Priority Seating? If it's just a counter then we can do this on our arrival day (should be in the parks by noon.)... then still make plans for a dinner at Rainforest Cafe that night... our original plan was for our arrival day to grab a counter service on arrival, then spend a few hours in the park, have an early dinner (my sister and I will be suffering from a three hour time change - so their 5pm dinner hour will be our 8pm hour)....
Neither River Belle Terrace nor Plaza Inn is a sit down & be served restaurant. Both are cafeteria style where you go through the line and let the servers know what you want for your main dish. Smaller items (sides, desserts, drinks) you serve yourself. Plaza Inn also has a Character Breakfast buffet. May be Minnie & Friends, sorry can't remember as I've never done this breakfast. No Priority Seating Arrangements available at either (maybe at Plaza Inn if you are going for the breakfast).
We ate at the River Belle Terrace in June, and it was okay. It's a counter service restaurant with both indoor and outdoor seating. We weren't all that impressed, so I'd go with the Plaza Inn (although we didn't eat there.)
