Mine are as follows: Ariel's Grotto -- This is definitely for the atmosphere here. I don't think the food is overly good. But the theming of the restaurant and how happy it makes my kids makes it one of my top spots. Rainforest Cafe-- I think the food is bad here, but the theming and atmosphere is a lot of fun, and we always enjoy ourselves here. It's one of our must stops. Naples Pizzeria-- The pizza is sooooo gooooood here. Blue Bayou-- Never even ate here, but I can't wait to. It seems so neat, and I've heard good things about the food. PCH Grill/Goofy's Kitchen-- These are tied, we love going to both of these places. The food is good, PCH breakfast is very good, and my kids love all of the characters. I've never gotten a chance to eat at some of the fancier restaurants like Steakhouse 55 or Napa Rose, I'm sure the food is great, much better than any of the above mentioned, but we have so much fun at the above restaurants as a family and that's what makes it special for me.

Blue Bayou - the ambience is unique (well DLP and TDL have similar) and the food can be good. 4. Tortilla Jo's - I like the food and it has great memories. I do miss Y'arriba Y'arriba however. 5. House of Blues - the gospel brunch is always a must! Honorable mention to Catal and Storytellers for breakfast. Fav counter service is Rancho del Zocalo. Most missed restaurant is definately the TAhitian Terrace. If it were still open, it would get my no. 2 vote after the Napa Rose.
