what do you think of......

1900 park fair?

plaza?

Cookes of Dublin?

anywhere offsite that is spectacular?

i want to try some new places this time (next june), and those are some we are talking about. My 4 & 7 year olds wants park fair!

i know we want to eat at Marakesh, Ohana, WPE, Earl, Caseys, Pizza Planet, ABC Commissary, AK Rainforest Cafe (I have a gift certificate, woohoo).

that still leaves us needing 3 more at epcot (we have several we just deciding between), and a few that could be resort or DTD.

we are not doing DDP - we are staying in a timeshare.

thanks!!

Re: what do you think of......

I haven't tried any of the restaurants on your list, but I can tell you that Raglan Road was a surprise to us.

Re: what do you think of......

The only place I've done on your list is 1900 Park Fare last Oct for DD's 4th birthday for dinner.

The character interaction is the best we have ever been to of ANY of the other character meals.

However, we did not like the food at all, desserts were delicious but the food itself wasn't, but from all the other rave reviews I believe that we hit it on an off night.

We'd go back though for sure and give it another try if even just for the characters (Cinderella, Prince Charming, Lady Tremaine, Anastasia and Drucilla)!!!

Re: what do you think of......

Well.. out of those listed, I have tried The Plaza for lunch. The food was pretty good. The service was good, except we were by the kitchen and it has swinging doors... kinda distracting.

I have seen 1900 Park Fare and it "looks" great, but I have not tried it. It is on my to do list.

Re: what do you think of......

We have also signed up for a bunch of resort restaurants for our trip in sept. Raglan Road is one, (Dopey, was it a good surprise, or a bad surprise?) also Yachtsmans Steakhouse, Spoodles, Boma, Kona Cafe, and Teppan Edo in Epcot. Spoodles is close to the back gates of Epcot, so we figured we would just walk on our Epcot day. I will be happy to report back when I return...Narcoosees is a favorite of ours also, it is at the GF...awesome food and service, we will be returning there as well (13 days of fun!!)

Re: what do you think of......

Have had many adrs at Park Fare, only I wound up canceling all of them.

The Plaza is nice, we have had lunch there, on DT's recommendation.

I hope you enjoyed it. We really like the Plaza Restaurant. It's not 5 star dinng but it's a nice change from fast food or big heavy meals. The menu is very limited but we've never had a bad meal and the service is always good.

Re: what do you think of......

We enjoy both Sci Fi and 50's PrimeTime. Again the food isn't 5 star but it's good and the atmosphere is fun. I think the food is a little better at 50's PT but if you stick to bugers and fries at Sci Fi you'll be fine.

I wonder if we could have been there on the same night? We were also there one night last October, and were so disappointed. We'd eaten both breakfast and dinner there before and enjoyed it so much, but the food was terrible on the night we went. Characters were fantastic though.

We LOVE 50's Primetime & Sci FI!!! Never tried Brown Derby.

We tried ABC commissary for the first time recently, and I was so surprised how nice it was in there.. plus it is a nice break from the heat!

At HS, we like Mama Melrose and Hollywood & Vine, besides being the ONLY two TS we tried . . . but we liked them!

For CS we do ABC (never had a prob) or Pizza Planet, which can be a hit or a miss!
