Must Do WDW Dining

[IndianaJones]

Hey guys, new to the forum here. I've been spending the majority of my time in the DLR area where we started a fun little "Must Do's at the Disneyland Resort" thread.

So I've decided the same thing needs to be done here. I am a WDW passholder so I've done a bit, but I want to hear from you guys.

What is your must do WDW dining?

I'll start it off. I love breakfast at the Kona Cafe at the Polynesian. My wife and I recently discovered it and absolutely fell in love with the Tonga Toast!

So fire away guys. Look forward to hearing the responses!

I've heard so many different things about Le Cellier. Some say amazing, others say overrated. I've wanted to try it for a long time, but it's never happened.

Ohana is one I've been trying to get ADR's for, for forever and I haven't been able to as of yet. But I want to try dinner there so bad.

I've eaten at all the quick service locations you mentioned except for Be Our Guest. My wife really wants to check it out.

Thanks for the reply!

Your welcome!!
We absolutely love Le Cellier and we are no strangers to excellent food. The filet is the best steak I have ever eaten anywhere even including fine dining locations around the US. My DH loves any steak he has gotten there. The Cheddar soup is delicious with the pretzel bread. Lobster Mac and Cheese is a wonderful side dish. Le Cellier is a must do every trip and out of all the Signature restaurants we have tried its the only one we regularly visit.
'Ohana you pretty much have to make ressies right at the 180 +10 mark. We had success though last December calling and being persistent while on our trip and made a ressie for the next evening one time. Persistence pays off even while there! We are going back this December and can't wait.
Be Our Guest is also a must do now for us every trip. You both really should try it as me and DH were very impressed with the lunch ESP being its a quick service. Restaurant is beautiful and you can choose any of the 3 different rooms to dine In when you get there and you cannot do that at dinner. Also at dinner only 2 rooms are open. At lunch you can also visit all rooms and take pics etc if you want.

This is defiantly a must try at Epcot. Not too sure why someone would think it's over-rated, I don't know what they are comparing it too.. I love their different breads they serve as an "appetizer". Your waiter or waitress will explain that each bread has a different resemblance of certain parts of Canada.

The dining experience is well paced and atmosphere is perfect. By far the best part of Le Cellier is the Cheddar Ale Soup they server there. A MUST try!

I think the only way to decide with Le Cellier (or really any place) is just to try it yourself and form your own personal opinions. We tried le Cellier back in 2011 and thought it was mediocre. You, on the other hand, might go in and love it. So, sometimes it's best to just take the reviews with a grain of salt and decide for yourselves based on first hand experiences.

Oh that is absolutely the plan. I've been wanting to go for a very long time. Much like Ohana though, I've had a hard time getting ADR's.

One day.

Our must do's are 'Ohana (its a tradition), Boma, Mickey Premium bar & popcorn somewhere, chicken breast nuggets somewhere, and a treat at Starring Rolls. The rest can be rotational. But we are thinking of adding the Biergarten as an every time since sometimes when we skip it we really miss it.

 

[IndianaJones]

Okay so what I'm learning is that I need to check out Boma. Got it.

California Grille and Cape May Cafe, dinner and breakfast respectfully. There are many great places, but these two just give us the best of both worlds, great food with fire works, and great food with character interaction. Done.

Our must-dos are O'hana for dinner, Tusker House (for breakfast - great variety and fun too), and Chef Mickey's (dinner). QS must-do is Columba Harbour House. We also like Le Cellier, Chefs de France, 1900 Park Fare, and Prime Time.

Victoria and Albert's- even (like me) if it is once in a lifetime event. It was spectacular!
I always "must" do something new each time we go
Another "must" is Earl of Sandwich and Kouzzina
