I'm about to try some new ones on my trip next week, so I'm sure I'll have new ones to add soon, but here are some of my favorites:

Kona Cafe at Polynesian
All Star Music Food Court (I know that's odd, but I love the chicken quesadilla!)
Caribbean Beach Food Court
Can't wait to take my twin boys on their first trip to Walt Disney World! Planning on heading there sometime Feb-May 2014!

I have a soft spot in me heart for Cape May. Clam bake!

The best meal I've ever had came at Boma's, though. My mom and I have a lot of food allergies, and the meal the chef made for my mom was beyond amazing. Here's a pic: http://disney-stock.deviantart.com/art/ ... -137088991

You know, I always thought it was Blue Bayou. Which I guess it still is, but based on pure frequency, I would have to say French Market. It's somewhat a tradition to get clam chowder in a sourdough bowl there for dinner.

Boma, Ohana and 1900 Park Fare for us, which is funny. We love the Crescent Lake area but not the restaurants. At least, not yet.

So hard to choose!
I love Ohana, Boma and Tusker House.....if I took my best experience from all three Ohana would be my favorite but it can be hit and miss there sometimes.

Most people will be at Raglan Road tonight, Zoer. If you want seafood or Chinese food, I'd head over to Epcot and see if you can get a reservation at Nine Dragons or (not Chinese but seafood): Teppan Edo or Coral Reef.

Resort wise... hmmm.

The Wave at the Contemporary probably wins for me. I love that place! But I still have a soft spot for The Turf Club at Saratoga even though I worked there so long.

Does the Pop Century food court count? I'm in love with the tie-dyed cheesecake!

Do CP's get any special perks as far as last minute ressies, or discounts off of meals?

I liked O'hana but I really haven't tried that many. Did the contemporary long, long ago. Otherwise, I tend to eat at the parks more than the resorts...

I liked O'hana too, but it was far too expensive for me to consider ever eating there again :(
The company was great! The food was simply ok...

We get 40% at select resort restaurants, 20% in all park full service restaurants, and 20% at all QSR and full service resort restaurants. I eat more in the resorts than the parks because the QSR food is discounted- in the parks it isn't. Then each Christmas we get a 50%, 40%, and 30% off dining coupon to use anywhere on property for food.

Nice! So there is no discount for food in the parks at all? That is a shame :(
