I need help with dinning selections

[Snow White]

I'm taking my in laws to Disney for the first time. I want them to have a great experience. My questions to you Who has the best seafood resturant. Is captain jacks good. Also I want to try 1900 park fare with my daughter is it worth it? How about Garden Grill Holly wood brown derby. I want to take my daughter,Olivia to Olivia's cafe at okw is the good? Help

My best recomendation for seafood would be Narcoossee's at the GF. :-)

I know I've read reports of people being very pleased with Coral Reef @ EPCOT. I know I have eaten there in the past, but it doesn't stand out in my mind. I don't remember when I ate there...
TGM seems very fond of it.

Either place TG recommended for seafood. The Chef at Coral Reef is actually the one that used to be at LE Cellier. 1900 Park has decent food. I personally would do Crystal Palace over it. Garden Grill is good. We like going there to see Chip N Dale. I have never eaten at the other 2.

I think the food was good at Olivia's, but how old is your Olivia? Will she 'get it' (eating there because of the name)
It is out of the way unless you're staying at OKW.
We got there early for our ADR and we had to wait a looonnng time to be seated. (and there were quite a few empty tables - that always irritates me)
We wanted our desserts to go and requested that the ones with ice cream have the ice cream in it's own container (don't remember what desserts we ordered, but like how you can have ice cream with hot apple pie). The CM did not understand our request. I checked the boxes before we left and I found it plunked on top of the hot dessert. I nicely asked for it to be prepared for travel correctly (restating my request) and he looked at me like I had 2 heads (so I don't think it was the kitchens error).


What meal are you thinking about 1900 PF? If you're wanting to eat there because DD likes the characters then go for it. It's on par with any other character buffet, IMO. It tends to be fairly noisy - but again, that's on par with other character buffets.
Breakfast is Mary Poppins and Dinner is Cinderella - and I've heard her step sisters and step mother are a TOTAL hoot! A gal on the DIS sewing thread had custom outfits for her daughters that had pictures of the stepsisters appliquéd on them. They got a LOT of attention! After all, not many people wear clothes with the SS's on them! LOL

If I can find that post I'll come back and add a link.


Hollywood Brown Derby -- LOOOOOOVE IT! I had never ordered a cobb salad anywhere before, but I am SO hooked now! (it was created at the BD)

Tanks for all the info. My daughter is three and she was excited about a resturant named after her. My daughter loves cinderella at 1900 does she greet or does she stand for pictures like the castle.
