The Grand Floridian has a couple of nice restaurants. We ate are the Citricos and found it very good.

I had an awesome bellini at the Italian restaurant in Downtown Disney but I have no idea the name of the restaurant.

Downtown Disney (really just a ton of shops) that is great to visit for shopping also has a Earl of Sandwich. This restaurant's owner is the decedent of the original inventor or the sandwich. Very good and cheap for Disney prices...

Cat Cora's restaurant on the boardwalk... Best seafood chippino (sp).... The Polynesian for their luau.... La ceiller if you can get a reservation.. The Floridian has Victoria and Albert's.... California grill in the contemporary... Make reservations at night so u can watch the fireworks... For quick service in the animal kingdom rain tree barbecue isn't awful.....coral reef in Epcot was horrible last time we went ... Quick service downtown Disney= the earl of sandwich... Very good sandwiches

Canada steakhouse in Epcot is pretty damn good

We liked the liberty tavern in MK, it was AYCE thanksgiving style food served family style

50's prime time cafe in Hollywood studios is decent and fun

Lots of higher class restaurants at different resorts

Make reservations everywhere

Del Friscos is just north of downtown Orlando.

Kres Chophouse is also good. Right in the heart of downtown activity

Roy's is a Hawaiian fusion restaurant, with influences where ever the chef is from. I thought the Orlando chef was from New Orleans, but the website just says southern. Great food though, and best service I've ever had a restaurant. Roy's

+1 for Citrico's. We also enjoyed California Grill.

For mid range, I liked Saana.

Holy shite! You are gonna be there for New Years Eve?!?!?! Prayers sent........


We did that three years ago. Little did we realize that New Years is one of the busiest times of the year down there. Crowded is an understatement. Eating was based on whatever place we could get into without having to wait an hour.

But it certainly isn't up to Boss's caliber of "good food".

I'd expect all shite food, and be surprised if something even comes close to meeting expectations for the price. Every expensive meal I've had around there was a joke. I'll just leave that type of dining off itinerary when we go this year.

O'hana is good. Inside the Polynesian resort. Also, the Cat cora place on the boardwalk was pretty good
