I voted for Jiko's because everything about it is wonderful. The food, themeing, atmosphere, and even the resort it's in. But, if it were on there, I would have voted for Whispering Canyon Cafe! I had an awesome time there, and the food was great! O'hanas would probably be a close second, it was good, but not like everyone else was saying it was. Spoodles is very good too...

Actually, I thought about including it. And, don't get me wrong, I love the place. Mmmmm Zebra Domes :slurp: But I was looking for more of the table service places than buffet types.

They are...You can eat 4 or more before you relise what you've done. Then you're hooked, and the hell with any diet plans you may have had. :lol:

Well, I voted for Califonia Grill but it was a neck and neck battle with Jiko. I have to say that the service at Jiko was better, but the view of MK always gets me.

I just lost 50 lbs since i got back from disney world, i though that was a coincidence but when they keep turning out things like zebra domes and dole whips i wonder why my belly used to look like a hidden mickey :hammer:

 

[GoofyFan1]

I didn't vote for any of the restaurants listed. I would, however, add Whispering Canyon at the Wilderness Lodge.

Cal Grill is my favorite followed by Flying Fish...just FYI. :wave:
