I always thought it would be so romantic in there since its dark ,and the ride boats glide by you. But we were practically sitting on top of the people in the next table, our meal was overpriced, and our server was rude. So for us the most romantic dinner place was China at night, at a seat looking out on the lights dancing on the Lagoon in the World Showcase. Whispering Canyon in the Wilderness Lodge is a hoot! We had the all you can eat breakfast there, and boy did we get a lot of food,delicious pine-cone shaped waffles,etc., a hilarious wait staff, and a few added surprises. If you want a quiet peaceful brreakfast don't eat here!

Originally Posted By TongaToast Brown Derby is great during off peak hours, especially the booths, a very relaxing experience. Kona Cafe for breakfast naturally! We used to hit Beaches and Cream for lunch when we'd arrive, I haven't been in many years, but there was nothing like a burger and onion rings after flying all morning. I loved Jiko which I tried last year, I think one of the most unique restaurants in the World, nice to try flavors you don't see everyday, even here in NYC.

Other than that, we really love the Yachtsman Steakhouse, which is WAY better than Le Cellier IMO, and the Flying Fish has recently become a staple. For lunch, the Plaza is our favorite.

Originally Posted By danyoung >Yep - exactly - I married out of my league and I knew it -- LOL !< My understanding is that in the best marriages both husband and wife look at the other and say exactly that. Sounds like you made a great choice, my friend!

Originally Posted By bloona Of course I have to say Boma, for breakfast as well as dinner. But we also love the Garden Grille at the Land, the boys adore it too.The characters are an added bonus. Oh and the fact that they re fill your plate up once youve eaten it all! Love it!
