So there aren't nearly enough restaurant reviews on these message boards yet. So I was planning on posting my restaurant reviews on the "other" board... But I think I prefer the more intimate experience of this close-knit board. Then again, maybe I'll cut and paste reviews into both places...

Anyway, this is what's coming:
We are a family of 4, Myself, DW, who is trying to eat very healthy, DS7 (super picky, tiny appetite), and DD5 (small appetite, but pretty adventurous. Loves sushi and vegetables.) We are staying at the Poly for 6 nights, on the deluxe plan.
We are traveling with another family -- Husband, wife, and daughter-4, who are also staying at the Poly and on the deluxe plan.
And a third family -- husband, wife, daughter-7, is staying offsite, they are joining a bunch of our meals.

Considering that we will be a party size of 7-10, I'm not planning on taking pictures of everyone's dishes. So expect just a few pictures of my food.

Anyway, the dining lineup:
Arrival day: Really depends on our flights, etc.... But we are either having a late lunch at Le Cellier, or more likely, an early dinner at Kona Cafe.
Day 2 -- Magic Kingdom -- Lunch at Crystal Palace. Dinner at California Grill.
Day 3 -- Epcot -- Lunch at Chefs De France, dinner at Narcoose's.
Day 4-- DHS -- Hollywood Brown Derby lunch, dinner at Artist's Point (adults only night)
day 5 -- Animal Kingdom -- Yak & Yeti lunch. Dinner -- Spirit of Aloha Luau
Day 6-- Magic Kingdom -- Lunch at Tony's Town Square, dinner at the castle.
Departure day -- Breakfast at Ohana. Possibly lunch in DTD, possibly at Paradiso 37.

Any comments or recommendations are welcome.

I would love to see more restaurant reviews too...a lot of people comment that Disney's restaurants leave a lot to be desired, but I think quite a few are very good. We'll be eating at Cali and AP too, on our trip at the end of the month. I'm looking forward to hearing reviews of your selections, especially HBD, Yak & Yeti, and the Luau!

When are you going? We are going in a large party too on dxdp @ the Poly. Maybe I'll start a report too... although... I can't promise I'll finish. I tend to have a problem with that sort of thing. My attention span doesn't last!

2/14-2/20. My last report.... Only finished 2/3rds. Hopefully, having on site wifi helps me keep up.

Man you are close! I bet you're getting excited! We are the 3/4-3/11. I'm READY!
Yeah... wifi won't even help I don't think because I've got a 4 year old and a 2 year old, plus I teach online and will need to grade some. It's doubtful that they will give me enough time to accomplish much more than making sure my online students are still alive and not rebelling!
