Amy, did you know that there's seating outside on the terrace on the castle side? Most people don't know about those tables and they're usually available. Plus, you get a great view of the castle. It's my very favourite CS at night because you can watch the castle changing colour while you eat.

My very favourite CS is at Epcot, though. I love Sunshine Seasons. Great food and great variety.
Every table was packed, inside and out! Plus it was cold so F1gment wanted some heat :lol:

She wore her big down coat and long underwear for almost the whole trip ~ I'm not sure she could have managed to move if she had put on another layer :shock: :lol:

B-dude and I love Pizza Planet! Although they've gotten very skimpy on the salad and you no longer have a choice of dressing, it's Ceasar Salad, period! But, we still love it! We also tried Pecos Bills on this past trip and loved it!!! It's a new fav.

We were very disappointed with Pizza Planet on the last trip, and I ended up getting the side salad plain since neither F1gment or I can have ceasar salad dressing. In fact, none of the pizza I had at any of the quick service restaurants was very tasty this past trip :( Via Napoli was excellent pizza, but too expensive for more than once around...

We don't tend to eat a lot in the parks because we always go outside the parks to eat and take a break and such. However, in the parks, we like Casey's Corner (I think it's called) at MK and Electric Umbrella at Epcot. When we stayed at the Caribbean Beach Resort on our Honeymoon, we liked all of the different food counters they had in the food court. Each one had different stuff and it was all pretty good.

No problem! Of course our favorites off-site are Sonic and Margaritaville. We don't have a Sonic anywhere remotely near us at home and we just had a Margaritaville open up in Canada a couple years ago, but crossing the border is such a pain now we hardly go there.

Every time we are in EPCOT, we always do lunch at the Tangerine Cafe. Dinner is always somewhere different, but DSO insists that we go there for lunch.

EC- I agree with Tangerine Cafe. Great food, especially for the price.

MK - Columbia Harbor House

DAK - Flame Tree BBQ (outdoor seating behind the building is very nice)

DHS - Starring Rolls (honestly, I really only go here for the cupcakes)
