Hey there,
Great choices. I haven't tried The Edison but read a lot of mixed reviews about there. For me, I would switch Raglan Road for The Edison and switch California Grill for Artist Point or somewhere else. IMHO, I think California Grill is overrated because of the ability to see the firework show. It is loud, very packed, noisy and not-wow food. For my wife and I, if we are paying signature dining prices then there are many other places on property that are better choices.

That being said and that be my opinion, I otherwise think you have made great selections.

How about Libterty Tree Tavern, and/or Whispering Canyon (In the wilderness lodge)?

There's also the Hoop Dee Doo Review. Great dinner/show and it takes two credits, but I think its a great experience

Great choices in terms of quality. If you're looking to get the best dollar value out of your credits, signature dining (i.e. restaurants that require two credits) are generally a poor choice. Same with breakfast.

Everybody has opinions, and the fact that they differ makes life interesting! My opinion is that the California Grill is the greatest restaurant anywhere. Combine that view over the Magic Kingdom and Seven Seas Lagoon with amazing food and great service, and then top it all off with an outdoor visit to their balcony to watch the MK fireworks from 15 stories up! I would have to agree that it's not exactly a quiet, intimate restaurant. But that's never kept me from enjoying my meals there in a totally unique location. I'm just 10 days away from my next meal there - can't wait!

If you have kids, its the best, and well worth the expense. We're finishing up our vacation with a dinner at Chef Mickey, I cannot think of a better way to close out our vacation :)

We have eaten dinner at Chef Mickeys two years in a row and my wife is tired of it. We were going to take it out of our rotation until my 7 year old DD found out. She loves it and now we are going to have breakfast there to change it up a bit.

I completely agree.....everyone's opinions is what makes life interesting.

But that being said, in my opinion, California Grill is not the greatest restaurant anywhere. I can think of at least 2 and possibly 3 restaurants that offer the most amazing food and supreme service over California Grill. Again that is IMHO, but maybe I have gotten the rare chance at eating at some AMAZING restaurants and therefore I compare your phrase of "the greatest restaurant anywhere" to those and CG doesn't stand up.

Yes, CG has great sushi but I have had just as great sushi here in Charlotte and even in London. Yes, CG has great but I have had the same quality food but in a quaint restaurant on a Caribbean island sitting out over the crystal clear water. Again, IMHO but that is what makes us all different and makes life interesting. If everyone thought the same, then life would be very boring.

I think those selections look nice. Random question, but do you have a Disney VISA card, OP? If you do, you can save 10% at Jiko, Sanaa and Boma if you use your Disney VISA to pay for your meal.
