Also, ask for suggestions for wine by the glass if you don't want a whole bottle. Restaurantasourus in DAK. Make reservations either before the park opens to beat the crowd (my son loved walking thru with no one else there), or late for brunch and you can skip lunch.<<<<but be prepared to smell MickeyD's being prepared if you're really staying late. It's not quite as frantic as some of the other character meals.

Originally Posted By sun-n-fun Boma is or favorite. We have eaten ther twice. Coral Reef was good, but we'll try something else next time. Didn't love Chef Mickey's for dinner - again we'll try something else next time. But I think Boma will be an every trip dinner.

I had my Terryaki ( tamarind) filet as usual and we were contemplating desert when 4 waiters showed up with a 'sampler' and each of the 12 deserts on the menu with a 'Happy Anniversary' note -- I may not have been tapped by the 'dreams' people, but the staff at Cali Grill topped it anyway ! also I second the above mention for Raglan Road - excellent food - and has been added to my must do list now also
