They all look good. We're going in Feb and have a lot of the same ADR's. 50's, Liberty Tree, Tusker House, Crystal Palace and Whispering Canyon.

I've never been a fan of 1900 park fare. That's just me.

I didn't even know cape may does breakfast. Have you been, how is it?

Where is Captain's grille?

If it were me, I'd rather go to Ohana than garden grille.

Great choice on crystal palace! AMAZING prime rib.

Tough to critique. I think dining likes/dislikes, in many cases, is more a unique aspect of the individual. There are only a few cases where it's about the location and what common wisdom indicates.

Not knowing where you're staying or your daily sched, I would only make one change. 'Ohana for breakfast at the Poly and then you walk right down to the boat to MK. Haven't been to Chef Mickey's since the kids were young but haven't read anything good about it either in the last 5 years or so, especially after the refurb. Unless you really gotta have buffet for breakfast. And then I would say Crystal Palace anyway.

You should try ohana, it is amazing. Otherwise, I want to know how you are going to eat that much in one day. We usually only have room for one meal and a snack a day.

I really like 50s Primetime. Ate there in Sept after taking a break for a year or two and the service and food were both great. My dessert menu was in a viewfinder!

I always like my meal at LTT. The food is Stouffer's quality, so as long as I know what to expect, I have no been disappointed.

I am crazy about the Cape May breakfast. I stay at BC, so it is in my lobby, GREAT food and lovely character interaction.

The Garden Grill is another favorite of mine. The food was great. The fish was so fresh that even though I am not a big seafood person, I asked for seconds. The character interaction was the best on that trip. LWTL is one of my favorite rides, so I loved everything about the restaurant.

I used to love Captain's Grille dinner, but I haven't eaten there lately. The last time I was there was 2009 and the food was just ok.

I have eaten at WCC, 1900, but not at the meals you are going for. Enjoy!

cape may character breakfast is amazing! you should try it some time!!

 

[Gabe1]

They look good except I am not a fan of Garden Grill. The only thing I noticed is you are heavy on buffets. Is that by design? Capt. Grill has excellent burgers.

 

[Courtneylee212121]

Yummy it looks perfect to me! You covered all of my favorite places !!! But id try to do lunch at be our guest just go super early one day at like 1030 and cross your fingers! Also I might try breakfast at polys kona cafe (tonga toast) or maybe AKL at Boma ( really for breakfast or dinner yumm)
I hope you have a great trip!!

 

[lunchbox1175]

Looks good, a lot of Character Meals, was that planned.

April 8th:
1900 Park Fare- 8:00AM
Liberty Tree Tavern-6:50PM

Not that Liberty Tree is bad but I would suggest taking the monorail over to Ohana for dinner since you aren't eating there and its REALLY good.

April 11th:
Chef Mickey's- 8:05AM
Crystal Palace- 7:10PM


Any suggestions!!!!!!

I am not a huge fan of chef Mickey for either meal. It is very popular and because of that it feels like they just don't need to try anymore. Its rushed, very average food and below average service. It was a traditional meal for us for a long time but now it just doesn't justify the price. If you really want a meal with Mickey and the gang then it may be worth it. I would do Crystal Palace for breakfast and do Liberty Tree for dinner if you bumped it for Ohana.

Anyway you do it, just have fun!

Will be there approx the same time with my folks 4/5-9. We're only visiting Epcot and AK. I see by your ADRs, you'll at least be in HS and MK, although you could be in the other two -- just no ADRs. I personally like the LBT Thanksgiving-style meal. Very good. Haven't been to any of the others. Already do have an ADR at Ohana. Haven't been there yet. Because of my parents' age--73--we haven't made any breakfast ADRs. As for lunch, we'll be in Epcot for two days during F&G festival so will just graze from food booths. Then I'm thinking Flame Tree BBQ in AK on our third day. Also, have you thought about DTD? Raglan Rd. has good food and entertainment.

 

[bcalltimandanna]

Boma is a can't miss for us

 

[MOXOMUMD]

cape may character breakfast is amazing! you should try it some time!!

I love Cape May for breakfast. I think it's a better set up for meeting characters if that's one of your priorities.

 

[DisneyDelirious]

I'm not a huge fan of Garden Grill, but I have only eaten there once as part of a Candlelight Processional package so it may have been an off night. I haven't eaten at Olivia's Cafe, Cape May, or Captain's Grille. All of the rest are in our rotation for each trip. Whispering Canyon Cafe is really one of my favorites. I'm a meatatarian and comfort food kind of guy. Between the near meat coma I attain, and the atmostphere I always thoroughly enjoy it.

Looks good to me! You made some great choices! But any choice is a good one if it's a place you want to go (except maybe Tony's, lol.)

If you're planning on all these 8:00 meals, you may miss a few rope drops. I'm not saying you shouldn't miss them. Just letting you know, in case you were planning to make all the rope drops.

Now I'm going to play the Devil's Advocate...

For whatever it is worth, 'Ohana is currently the popular place to eat. A couple years ago, it was someplace else and several years before that it was yet another place. This whole "THE PLACE TO EAT" goes in and out of fashion among Disney fans and really has little to do with the quality of the place. 'Ohana is no better now than it was when other places were THE PLACE to eat.

I'd rather eat at Liberty Tree than 'Ohana any day. And Liberty Tree doesn't require leaving the park, either.
