Your Top Ten

Love the thread idea!

10. I don't know what the place is called, but the place outside the China pavilion that sells those DELICIOUS peach icee tea things I love so much.
9. Marrakesh
8. Coral Reef
7. The Wave
6. The Aloha Cart thing that sells Dole Whip!
5. Ohana (at least, it was before last trip)
4. Crystal Palace
3. Le Celier
2. Chefs de France
1. Boma

ETA -- See, I knew that would happen. I forgot Biergarten. That takes the place of Marrakesh (sorry Morocco). And yes, it's in a spot higher than the peach things because I simply can't leave that off the list.

I reserve the right to come back and change this list when I realize the places I forgot:

10. Ohana (much like teachdrama this is more for their prior work than recent performance)
9. Earl of Sandwich
8. Yachtsman Steakhouse
7. Jiko
6. California Grill
5. Rose and Crown
4. Boma
3. Beaches and Cream
2. Liberty Tree Tavern
1. Le Cellier

Oh this is sooo hard!!

10. Yakitori House
9. French Quarter - Beignets!!!!
8. Earl of Sandwich
7. Sunshine Seasons
6. Crystal Palace - what can I say - TIGGER!!!
5. Biergarten
4. Whispering Canyon Cafe
3. Ohana
2. Le Cellier
1. Boma

Here's my list:
10-Teppan Edo
9- Flying Fish (Boardwalk)
8- Turf Club Bar & Grille (Saratoga Springs resort)
7- Earl of Sandwich
6- Liberty Tree Tavern
5- Chef's de France
4- Le Cellier
3- Jiko
2- Boma
1- Shula's Steak House (at the Dolphin Hotel.) [still a part of Disney as far as I am concerned]

So cool to see everyone's different ideas!

10-Boma
9-Chefs de France
8-Le Cellier
7-Liberty Tree Tavern
6-Yak and Yeti
5-Yachtsman Steakhouse
4-California Grill
3-Earl of Sandwich
2-Via Napoli (I just know I'm gonna love it that much)
1-Jiko

10. Flame Tree Barbecue (Best place to eat in DAK except for Picnic in the Park)
9. The Crystal Palace (Food is good, location suburb, characters secondary)
8. Boma (Love everything about it)
7. Columbia Harbour House (Great choices even other than the tuna fish)
6. Liberty Tree Tavern (Good food, service and atmosphere. What else is there?
5. Sanaa (Surprisingly diverse menu for a restaurant in a Disney resort)
4. Biergarten (You can't NOT have fun there)
3. Tokyo Dining (Try to coincide your ADR with Illuminations)
2. Hollywood Brown Derby (would be the best on property were it not for....)
1. Jiko (No explanation needed. It's my number one cause it's the best restaurant on property)

I intentionally left Le Cellier off my list, though it probably does deserve to be somewhere in the top ten. I think the hype sets up too high an expectation level, and for that reason it may disappoint.

9. Pecos Bills
8. Biergarten
7. Quick Service Mexican place
6. 50s Prime Time Cafe
5. Aloha Isle
4. Chefs de France

This changes all the time but here's a try:

8.) Citricos (My visits have been AMAZING, AMAZING and pretty good. If they were all like this first two this would be in the top 3 or 4)
7.) Marrakesh (I've only eaten there a few times, but I LOVED it)
6.) Crystal Palace (Food, so-so, but there's Eeyore and Tigger!)
5.) Jiko
4.) Boma
3.) Le Cellier (Great, but I hardly ever get to go and I had a bad experience there once!)
2.) Beaches and Cream
1.) Liberty Tree Tavern

Ha - funny that Caitie and my list is so similar - except Boma is my favorite and she doesn't even have it on the top ten.

Thank you for making it a priority for me

If eating at Boma is the biggest compromise I have to make in my marriage I think I'm doing pretty well!

Here goes my current top ten...

What are your suggestions from Brown Derby, Scrappy?

Sorry Bali, I do not have many suggestions for the Brown Derby because the only thing I ever order there is the filet. I LOVE it!

So you have suggestion for the Brown Derby, not suggestions.

Do you like the grapefruit cake?

6. 50's Diner
5. Yachtsman
4. Flying Fish Cafe

My top ten, NOT in any particular order:

10) Liberty Tree Tavern
9) Biergarten
Olivia's
7) Coral Reef
6) Boma
5) California Grill
4) Sunshine Seasons (counter service)
3) Columbia Harbor House (counter service)
2) O'hana
1) Kona Cafe

Life without a vacation countdown is like a cupcake with no frosting!

It's good and bad to hear this. I'm eager to not break my back to get into this restaurant, but it used to be so good -- sad to hear it's come down a notch.

We still liked it last time we went -- not as much as the first time a coupe of years ago, but still thought Le Cellier was very good.

Biergarten - I guess it depends on if you like that kind of food -- which I do.

I think Le Cellier has all the signs of a restaurant that needs to raise its prices. They try to get too many people in and out and it's starting to show in the service and results. Sometimes it's still great, but sometimes it's not. Since they know they will book all their ADRs anyway it's hard to get the incentives right.

Brad,
Neither Mr Hub or I are very big fans of the grapefruit cake. He ordered in once, I only tasted his.

I haven't done much "adult" dining at the world. My parents did mostly character meals and fun places for us when I was younger and when I went recently with friends, it was our one friends first trip so we did mostly character and kid stuff for her! This trip in about 3 weeks my boyfriend and I are trying some different places and I am excited! That all being said....

When was the last time you went to Ohana? Caitie and I used to love it, but our last experience wasn't so great...

A year ago memorial weekend!

I haven't had the best experiences there. Maybe I'm eating the wrong thing. What do you like on the menu, Alice?

We were there in December and I had the Chicken Parmeasean...Now when I was there in 98 they had a chef's special and it was a blankend Rosemary Steak..I swear to all things holy that it...even to this day...was the BEST steak EVER!!!
