Non park dining must do's?

The Disney resorts have a lot of terrific restaurants. My favorite by far is the California Grill, up on top of the Contemporary Resort. Great food and service with a view over the Magic Kingdom that's ... well, magical!

Wife and I went to CG a few years ago for our anniversary, it was one of the best meals I've ever had. The filet was to die for. Firework viewing was pretty cool also. We're taking my brother and sister in law there for a wedding gift in March. Reservation should line up nicely with the fireworks.

Not sure I'd call it one of the best outside of Ireland, but this is one reason why I go....

Just got back from WDW and my wife went to Raglan Roads twice and had the bread pudding twice

Any opinions on Raglan Road at Disney Springs?

Really good. Everything we had was really good, but the Tomato Gin Soup was the single best tomato soup I have ever had. I dream of it.

I second this. Bread service is to die for, and it's an interactive experience for the whole table. Get ALL the sauces/condiments. It's worth it. Try to get a savannah view table. It's hit or miss, but it definitely adds to the experience. Lastly, nothing there is bad. The food is adventurous and comforting at the same time. It's a singular experience.

I third(?) this. All of this.

Looked at the menu the other day and we may have to try that when we visit the area in March. Looks like a great recommendation and reasonably priced.

Ate here our last night back in September. The fried chicken was amazing. And Art was walking around talking to guests.

Super cheap option that we absolutely loved and went twice on our trip last week was Blaze pizza in Disney Springs.

We don't do sit down meals, so I can't help you there. But you can go and grab a Dole Whip/float at the Polynesian.

We also love to go to Earl of Sandwich in Disney Springs.

No votes yet for The Yachtsman Steakhouse?

I also like The Wave at the Contemporary.

If you are looking for something kid oriented, I have to agree Hoop Dee Doo is our favorite. The food is actually pretty good. The show is corny fun. And, you could spend some time at Fort Wilderness either before or after. The Fort has a lot to do there including a campfire marshmallow roast, sing-a-long, and Chip and Dale characters. Then a Disney movie is shown. Lots of "Disney" fun without ever going to a park.
