MK: Columbia Harbour House. Rumor has it that there is a pavilion at Tomorrowland that is awesome (lobster rolls and steak/blue cheese salad) but it is open seasonally.

Epcot (Future World): Sunshine Seasons

Epcot (World Showcase): Rose and Crown pub

DHS: Backlot Express

DAK: Flame Tree Barbecue

I have never been to Cosmic Ray's, I will have to plan on it in December.
Definitely worth a stop ~ but plan on eating before or after the meal rush so you can actually get a table in by Cosmic Ray!
I really try and avoid eating at "normal" times when I'm at the parks. Eating lunch and dinner in total bedlam is not fun for me.

I now have to be sure and stop by Casey's Corner (I've eaten there many times of course) after seeing several guests eating a barbecue slaw hot dog... just one look at the thing and I was drooling. :D Barbecue, coleslaw, and a hot dog, oh my....

pixiesparkles, that would be the revamped Tomorrowland Terrace Noodle Station.... I've seen those lobster rolls on many an occasion since last year but the nearly $10 price tag has deterred me from trying one. :(

That hot dog does sound kind of tasty ~ messy! but tasty :D
Hmmm, I've never tried a lobster roll. Somehow it just never sounded good to me. And the $10 price tag would definitely deter me :shock:

And unfortunately I don't get my 20% discount on counter service in the parks (save for DAK, but that's hit-and-miss depending on who the CM is at the time), so I rarely get to actually eat what I want in the parks. I have to stick with the kids meals. :shock: :lol: Which have gone up $.50 in four months, I see.

Bummer. I would think they would want to extend the discount to CMs so they could eat at the counter service places too. Then they would be more informed when guests ask where they should eat!

disney's thinking probably a goes a bit like this 'counter service lines are already ridiculously long, so lets not give the discount there, to make our CM's less likely to stand in the line and make the experience any worse than it is for our guests...'

Our favs are the shwarma combination plate at Tangeriene Cafe in Epcot (followed by the bakery in France - those ham & cheese croissants are good!), taco salad at Pecos Bills in Magic Kingdom, any barbeque plate at Flame Tree in Animal Kingdom and nothing is really tasty to us at Hollywood Studios so we usually do the standard WDW pizza at Pizza Planet there, but I wouldn't call that a favorite.

At Downtown Disney, The Wolfgang Puck Cafe was really great! Really good food, good-sized portions and a nice atmosphere.

I live in lobster roll heaven here in Maine, they are really good when there done properly. Here in town a lobster roll is about $10 to $12, if it costs less then that its mostly mayonnaise or fillers. Lobster meat runs usually around $30 a pound here, right off the boat essentially.

We ate at Wolfgang Puck Express twice this time around ~ it really does give you a lot of food for a quick service dining credit!

I really liked the Earl of sandwich a few years ago. I was disappointed this time. Both times I got a sandwich there I thought the bread tasted a bit too much like their oven needed to be cleaned out :(

So you don't get much of a break on lobster prices in Maine?! At least you know it is fresh :D
