We have ADR's for Restaurant Merrakesh, but I really don't want to eat there. What about the CS location near that? Thanks!

The TS restaurants are generally in a whole different league than the CS places. Of the CS places, your best bet (as far as quality goes) is probably the Yakitori House at Japan. Just curious... why are you bypassing Marrakesh? That is one of our favorite WS restaurants.

I had my list all ready to go when I called WDW-DINE and something threw me off and I had to pick a restaurant quick for one of the evenings. Oh, I was going to do an early dinner at Whispering Canyon before MNSSHP, but Whispering Canyon doesn't start serving dinner until 5 or after. The woman informed me that I could get into MK to eat at Liberty Tree before the party started without using a day on our hopper passes. So I didn't want to eat at Liberty Tree twice, so I had to come up with something quick to replace the previous night I had LTT scheduled for.

My wife and I love the place... there are some dishes that are very familiar to American tastes... you might want to ask your server for a suggestion if you go there. With most of the Showcase restaurants, even though they are good, we have similar restaurants of equal or greater quality here in the Twin Cities. I can't say that about Marrakesh, which is one of the reasons we really enjoy it.

Hey, Leigh - Oct 4th 8:45 is when Eric & I will be there - how 'bout y'all?

Since MGM and Epcot are so close, we can eat somewhere at Epcot the night I have 50's Prime Time scheduled. Sorry, I've turned my CS thread into a TS thread. LOL chickendumpling, thank you so much for your great report! We've never spent much time in Epcot, and I'm looking forward to trying a lot of the great food there.
