What is your MUST DO dining?

Post by Pluto23 » Mar Sat 20, 2010 12:05 pm

What is that one place you just have to eat at each visit? It may be sit down or counter, but you HAVE TO eat there.

Mine is Boma for dinner, and and off site location, Tijuana Flats. Both are just too good.

I've got a couple. Cape May for the dinner buffet and Pecos Bill Cafe. PBC is a nostalgic pick. It was the first place I ever had lunch in WDW. Way back in 1982.

I guess we don't really have any "have to eat at it" spots. I always try to get a mickey mouse rice krispie treat with the chocolate ears though. And my Mom feels no trip is complete without a Mickey Mouse ice cream treat and a turkey leg.

Cafe Orleans with my mom. We love to split an order of pomme frites, Monte Cristos and beignets for dessert. It's one of our favorites.

I'm with kcarts - Cape May for the clam bake. Yummy!

We used to eat at Akershus every trip, but they ruined it with the numerous menu changes and then turning it into a character meal. I was quite sad because it was my favorite restaurant and you never needed reservations.

As for snacks, I must have a kaki-gori in Epcot and an ice cream sandwich from Sleepy Hollow at the MK.

OK - I have never had either of those snacks. Something new to try. Do they make the ice cream sandwich fresh - or is it a Mickey Ice Cream?

For years, it was always Alfredo's Ristorante di Roma at EPCOT for my birthday - that is, until they closed it down. The new place is an overpriced poor replacement. When at MK, its Liberty Tree Tavern.

It's a real ice cream sandwich - two TollHouse cookies with vanilla ice cream in the middle. It's so huge I usually take one of the cookies off and stash it away for later. Everyone always wants the funnel cakes at Sleepy Hollow and miss out on the deliciousness that is the ice cream sandwich. Of course this is assuming the menu is still the same, it's been over a year since my last visit.

I just tried Boatwright's dining hall. It quickly skyrocketed to the top of my list. The crayfish appetizer is great and the main courses are some of the best.

I am so in for this ice cream sandwich. Just sounds too awesome to miss. Of course, I do go for the funnel cakes with a mix of cinnamon & powder sugar.

For us it has to be the Prime Time Cafe for a dinner. We go there every year and we always try to get the same server. I know they play the "family" role there, but to us the server is like family already.

I have to eat at San Angel Inn in Mexico every trip. It's just something that I have to do and I know that I can relax by El Rio del Tiempo and enjoy an authentic Mexican meal.

Other than that I have gotten a beer and pretzel from Germany on my last few trips since turning 21.

I have to eat the lighthouse sandwich at Columbia Harbor house. It is usually my 1st meal of the trip.

Get off the plane, right ME to resort, drop bags, grab bus to MK, walk to Columbia Harbor house for sandwich, let Dd pick first ride of the trip....
