My very favourite CS is at Epcot, though. I love Sunshine Seasons. Great food and great variety.

Re: Favorite Counter Service meals at WDW?
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.
Re: Favorite Counter Service meals at WDW?
I have to agree with Pacos Bills....that taco salad with the fixins bar is fantastic....322 days until i get my hands on one!!!

Re: Favorite Counter Service meals at WDW?
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 tripboilerbabe wrote:B-dude and I love Pizza Planet!

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.

That's good to know...we'll definitely check that out when we stay there.

Re: Favorite Counter Service meals at WDW?
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.MmeLeota wrote:That's good to know...we'll definitely check that out when we stay 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)
