Thanks again to everyone so far fr their suggestions.

Have tried some(Norway+Mexico) and going to try some of the other(California Grill+Coral Reef).

And plan on going to all the ones you suggested Maray(Especially Jiko's).

And Dansyr sent you an PM with some my experiences and favorite restaurants for you to consider.

Everybody keep the suggestions coming.

I really enjoyed Narcoosee's for dinner my last trip.
A favorite is also the Teppanyakki Dining room in Japan at Epcot.

Oh my, 14 days. What fun and what good eating.

For breakfast be sure to try Kona at the Poly and the Grand Floridian Cafe (haven't had breakfast there but very much enjoy the restaurant). I would probably do these each a couple of times along with a character meal or two. Boma's breakfast buffet also sounds good.

For lunch, we enjoy CRT and the Plaza on MK days as well as the Grand Floridian Cafe. Liberty Tree Tavern is nice for lunch, too but I would skip it for dinner as it's a set menu then.

At MGM we like Brown Derby and Mama Melrose's for lunch and the BD for dinner, too.

Some places we've enjoyed at Epcot for lunch while on earlier versions of this plan include Rose and Crown, Chefs de France, the Japanese restaurants(senior moment ), San Angel Inn. Lots of folks on these boards also rave about Le Cellier.

Oh for dinner...so many great choices. California Grill, Citricos, Narcoosees, Kona Cafe, Artist Point, Yachtsman's Steakhouse, Jiko's, Portabello's, Wolfgang Pucks. I would also choose to try Spoodles and Flying Fish although I've not dined at either yet.

I would also do HoopdeDoo and the Luau for some Disney fun.

I forgot Coral Reef at Epcot. We've enjoyed a number of good lunches and dinners there over the years but it is expensive enough that I don't think we've ever eaten there UNLESS we were on such a plan. Also Bistro de Paris for dinner...very good food and a quieter restaurant for dinner than Chefs de France.

In the Poly, Ohana is great fun for dinner. We loved the appetizers and the skewered beef and pork. Kona Cafe for breakfast was so good that my hubby would not eat anywhere else for 7 days. Best coffee in WDW and unbelievable Tonga Toast.

EPCOT: We love San Angel Inn, Le Cellier, Sunshine Food Fair in the Land Pavillion, and Marrakkesh. Alfredo's was so-so, Coral Reef food was just ok, but the view is spectacular. Germany restaurant used to be excellent, but we do not care for the group seating and buffet they have now. Rose and Crown is fun, delicious, and known for big portions. I ate at Bistro de Paris years ago and it was very good.

MGM: Prime Time Cafe and Sci-Fi Dine In are really fun and tasty. Did not like ABC Commissary at all.

AK: We always eat at Tusker House for tasty vegetarian food.

MK: Don't miss Cindy's for dinner. We like Columbia Harbor House for lunch (go upstairs for plenty of extra seating). We have had ok breafast and dinner at Tony's Town Square.

California Grill is a must (chocolate hazelnut pyramid is a to-die-for dessert), and we always enjoy Spoodles at the Boardwalk for dinner.

Bon appetit!

I have a suggestion! Switch to the silver plan. It's only 2 meals per day!

 

[kayeandjim00]

I would suggest Crystal Palace for breakfast! Very good food! Chef Mickey's for dinner, good food and a fun atmosphere. I have heard good things about Ohana's and we are trying it on our next trip so that may be one for you to consider. 1900 Park Fare we didn't like personally even though it was a villans dinner and the characters were fun we just didn't care for the food. Hope you have a great trip!
