Hoop-de-doo or Mickey's Backyard BBQ (either takes 2 credits)? 1900 Parkfare breakfast or Cinderella's Royal table (2 credits)? Boma or Jiko (2 credits)? Le Cellier or Les Chefs de France? Yak and Yeti: sit down or counter service? For sure: 50s Prime time Cafe and Scifi Diner.

Never done BBQ but the staff is *great* (The Contemp Catering team staffs) Hoop is fun too and both have similar food 1900 Parkfare breakfast or Cinderella's Royal table (2 credits)? If you want characters do 1900, if you want more experience than characters do CRT Boma or Jiko (2 credits)? Never eaten at Jiko but LOVE Boma Le Cellier or Les Chefs de France? Le Cellier! Yak and Yeti: sit down or counter service?<< Neither (I prefer Flame Tree) oh that wasn't an option... I havent heard one being superior to another- Ive only eaten counter service and it was okay but Panda Express is MUCH better

Le Cellier or Les Chefs de France? Yak and Yeti: sit down or counter service?>> I'd go with: Hoop-de-doo which is a great dinner show for all of the family. I personally think it is better value than the BBQ. Hoop is significantly better than the Polynesian Luau. Park Fare is definitely better food. Royal Table is a wonderful venue though so you definitely need to trade those two off against one another. I don't think it is the best experience but the Royal Table is an incredibly unique experience (you can't eat inside any of the other Disney castles!) I love Jiko - an incredible dining experience - if you love wine is has one of the best lists on property (with some exceptionally good South African wines). Jiko's is my first pick whenever I'm at WDW. That said Boma is the best buffet bar none - the food is excellent and it gives you the opportunity to try some ethnic dishes too that you might not know. I'm not a fan of Le Cellier - but Chefs is a great dining location. Personally I'm still a huge fan of Coral Reef at Epcot (despite being veggie) as it is about my favorite dining room anywhere. They also have a wonderful Key Lime Pie martini that is to die for! Y&Y - It depends if you want another sit-down option. The counter service is the same good food as the main dining room. It really depends on how much time you have at DAK. Hope that helps!

Food better @ 1900 -Castle location is very cool if you've never been there Boma or Jiko (2 credits)? >> I prefer Boma because we are usually there in party of 8 - 3 kids. Wealready separate when eating @ CG( my sisters kids younger ) Le Cellier or Les Chefs de France? >> Le Cellier still a treat - Yak and Yeti: sit down or counter service? >> one of the few places haven't eaten atyet For sure: 50s Prime time Cafe and Scifi Diner.

Oh yeah, and the food was sehr gut too!

Thanks for all the opinions!
Originally Posted By SuzieQ I just booked our trip and was coming here to ask similar questions! We've done CRT 3 times for dinner. We book a late dinner and request a window table.

San Angel is definitely a no for us. We don't care for it. And we really didn't care for the Biergarten at Germany. Tepenyaki at Japan is a definite yes. What others to people recommend? How is Morocco?

The Garden Grill is also good (inside the Land Pavilion). Don't forget that you can also walk to the Boardwalk area from the back of Epcot; there are lots of great choices there, too.

My son who was 6 at the time was tired and grouchy(this was our first trip to DW and our 5th day there we were all tired.) and she was able to cheer him up and got him in a better mood.

Originally Posted By davewasbaloo Some great choices here, no doubt. we enjoyed Marakesh for the ambience and entertainment. The menu is not really to my palette (but I love all the other WS restaurants except the Rose and Crown - simply because I do not want to go to an english place when we live in england). the Mint tea was awesome. Tepan edo is probably my fav in all of WS though, or maybe Le Cellier. Yak and Yeti, looks great and I have heard great reviews. And the Studio restaurants are ok, but not as great as I hoped. The MK has nowhere worth eating IMHO, we prefer to go to one of the resort restaurants on a MK day - California Grill (my fav), Victoria and Alberts, Ohana, Whispering Canyon (more fun and better food than 50's or Prime Time) or Artist Point. But all of these are pretty good choices.
