Here's my suggestions:

with park admission:
Epcot - San Angel Inn (Mexico) - romantic setting by the river (all indoors)
- a few days notice should get you PSs no problem

Epcot - Morroco - can't remember the name, but the place is GORGEOUS, there's live entertainment, and you feel like you're in a $$$ place instead of a $$ place
- you really don't need a PS for here, sadly it's never crowded despite how wonderful the place is


without park admission:

Downtown Disney - Portobello Yacht Club - this one's a bit more pricy (by about $5), but the ambience is nice (less expensive than it's raved-about neighbor, Fulton's Crab House or the Flying Fish Cafe at the Boardwalk)

Kona Cafe at the Polynesian - it's nice, but the layout of the tables isn't very "secluded" feeling; I don't know how to describe it, but you don't have that feeling of privacy you get at other places; however the decor of the Polynesian is wonderful, and it's the perfect place for a romantic after dinner stroll and this Board's favorite activity of watching the MK fireworks from the beach (I've never done it, personally)

Animal Kingdom Lodge - Boma -- a buffet that I've never been to, but again, everyone LOVES it and the AKL setting is WONDERFUL!!!, that hotel is like a compelte vacation in and of itself -- there's ethnic things to buy at the gift store, gorgeous lobby and outside chairs to hang out in, and a short walk around a rock outcropping kind of observation platform to see the animals



the above will run you an average of about $15-20 per entree. these are the "$$" places in Birnbaum's book. I can't think of any "$" places for an actual meal that would be like a great romantic and classy restaurant for a special meal. But at least it ain't as bad as Victoria And Alberts at over $100 per person!!!
