I went in June 2004, Oct 2004, June 2005, June 2008, Oct 2008 and am going back in June 2009. During that time, I thin I've eaten at every restaurant in the world showcase in Epcot at least twice.
Maybe I was just sick of it, but I think the quality of the restaurants as of 2008 was far below what it was in 2005.
Tutto Italia is a far more expensive, far less enjoyable version of Alfredo's ... and Le Celier went from one of our must-visits to borderline inedible.
I love the Biergarten for lunch, and Teppan Edo for dinner. The Rose & Crown is also solid for pub food. Restaurant Marrakesh is excellent as well, and often able to seat you when no one else can (a more and more common phenomena with the DDP forcing so many more ADRs than in the past).
The last time we went my mother in law insisted we dine at The Living Seas' Coral Reef Restaurant. It isn't the WS, but I highly recommend it. We had better filet than we got at Le Celier, and it was far less expensive. Also, they sported what I thought was the best wine list in all of Epcot, with minimal markup on some excellent Napa Cabernet Sauvignon's.
Overall, though, the dining on my last two trips to Epcot was somewhat disappointing, and this trip, we'll probably make less ADRs and just plan some meals elsewhere rather than forking out the exorbitant amounts for the reduce quality meals at WS.
