California Grill for dinner - one of the best, two thumbs up - try the ravioli appetizer
Crystal Palace for breakfast - s'ok for a character meal
cinderellas royal table for lunch - the deluxe dining plan is a great way to dine here
ohanas for breakfast - good character interaction, good food
tusker house at lunch - haven't been here since the change - looking forward to trying it
hollywood and vine character breakfast - not one of my favorites
sci fi dine in theatre for lunch - this is a waste of a meal coupon in my opinion
akershus for breakfast - princesses, what more to say
coral reef lunch - great choice for lunch
tutto italia for dinner - should be good
kona cafe for breakfast - one of the best breakfasts at WDW
tonys town square for lunch - canned Italian - pretty place though

At Cali Grill I had the pork tenderloin and loved it. SciFi for lunch loved the chili and the burger was good. But that chili was really good. Can't wait to go back. Went to Coral Reef for lunch, had the best lobster bisque and their grilled chicken caeser salad was good,too. Enjoy. :mickey:We are going in September, too. Can't wait to make my ressies.

I like all your choices except for Hollywood and Vine. It is only my opinion, I guess, but I am not nuts about it. I like Prime Time better which is right next door, but I don't know if they do breakfast. No matter what you do, it's all good.:thumbsup:

My experiences:
California Grill for dinner
Absolutely one of the best meals I've had at Disney!
Crystal Palace for breakfast
Great selection and a beautiful setting. Try to get an 8:05 ADR on a day that the park doesn't open early. That way you can be done with breakfast and back on main street before everyone else gets in!
cinderellas royal table for lunch
I did this before it was a princess lunch. The food was pretty good and it was a leisurely lunch.
tusker house at lunch
A good lunch, especially considering it's counter service. The Flame Tree Barbeque is also good in AK for counter service.
sci fi dine in theatre for lunch
Service and food were both mediocre. I think there are better places to eat in the Studios.
coral reef lunch
I've had lunch there twice and it awesome both times.
kona cafe for breakfast
Love the Kona for the Tonga Toast. And it's a short hop away from the MK.
tonys town square for lunch
Once was enough for me. Nothing special or memorable about the food or the service.

Actually, I haven't tried any of your new places for the meals you have booked, but I wanted to congratulate you for making your reservations and wish you a great trip.

Listen to Jym. He knows everything.

Our family favorite breakfast is Crystal Palace. We make an adr for 10:30, the last booking. The crowds have thinned out and the characters give you much more one on one time. We use character breakfasts more like a brunch and grab a counter service later for dinner.
Haven't had Ohana for breakfast but it is amazing for dinner.
We don't care for Hollywood and Vine at all. I know some people do, but to us it had a very cafeteria feel about it. The food was forgetable.
Akershus is fine, we won't do it again because it didn't stand out as a "we have to have that again" meal. That being said...if you need a meal with the princesses this is it.
Have a great time planning and have a great trip!!:mickey:

We can't do a trip without eating at the Castle. We've been planning it for our BBB ressies directly before so we have our little princess eat with the princess.

We weren't crazy about askerhus or Sci Fi. Askerhus because there wasn't enough food for a hungry 14 year old and the 5 year old wasn't into it. Sci Fi because we like to get back together after our adventures and TALK (Imagine that, a DD teenager talking to Mom)

We like Tony's and Coral Reef.

All in all... you can't really go horribly wrong.

Hollywood and Vine breakfast is great.
Avoid tusker house for lunch. Try boma for dinner instead. The food is much better. Boma's breakfast is great too.

We were not impressed with Sci-Fi. If I had payed attention to this site when we went our first time I would have avoided it.

I have not been to a lot of these but i will give my opinion (which i want to reiterate is JUST and Opinion).

50's Prime Time Cafe
I love it there, I think it is a cute atmosphere and the food is nice and homestyle kind of food.....but make sure you eat all your veggies or you will get yelled at!

California Grill :thumbsup:
This was one of the nicest dinners of my recent honeymoon, great food, nice atmosphere, and fun to watch the fireworks if you plan it for the right time.

Sci-Fi Dine-In Theatre
I do not care for this, I just don't think the food is all that great but on the contrary this is my husbands favorite place to eat and is a must anytime we go. The milkshakes always look good though and I never remember to get them so I recommend getting one.

Coral Reef
Very fun place, the food is good but there is not a huge selection so if you have picky eaters in your group beware.
