lilyelayne here are our favorites. I am a foodie but "your mileage may vary" depending on what you guys like. I will do each post per park. ETA - an alcoholic drink is included now in every quick service(QS) and table service (TS). I know at times it won't seem like you want it, but then I regretted not getting an adult bev when I didn't. Especially for the price! And you're on vaca after all!
MK- ealy entrance (about 8am) breakfast at Be Our Guest. This is a rare quick service location that takes reservations. I recommend ordering ahead here as you are put through a different/quicker line. Now this is a quick service but the food is magically 😉 delivered to whatever table you choose to sit. It is pricey and therefore a great value for a quick service credit. Pastries are great and food is okay. The big plus is early entrance and close proximity to fantasy land with some of the longer line rides (7dmt, Peter Pan, etc).
TS: the only one we've been to that isn't a character meal is Tony's (from Lady and the Tramp). It is Italian food and I had low expectations going in but thought it was great! We went for dinner but I believe that it is one of the places that you can get the VIP parade viewing section if you go for lunch. Double check me on that. This summer I'd like to eat at Liberty Tree Tavern which is colonial themed and serves thanksgiving type food family style...drool. Can't wait to try that, I've heard good things.
EPCOT- Le Chef de France in the world showcase was excellent. I've been to coral reef. The inside is really neat because one huge wall is the aquarium from The Seas with Nemo and Friends. This is really cool! But honestly I can't remember if the food was good because this was pre kids and we had just finished "drinking around the world". I'm pretty sure we would have thought anything was delicious lol. I don't think there are any packages for the night time show in Epcot that except the dining plan but this could change as there is a brand new show starting in October. There was a fast pass option for the night time spectacular though that we ended up getting later in the day.
Hollywood Studios - I honesty think the table service options are not great here. I cannnot recommend any that I've been to food quality wise but there are some options for the package that include Fantasmic VIP viewing which is awesome. I've heard good things about some of them but they just aren't our style (50s prime time cafe has the "rude" servers, Sci-fi dine-in Theater has old creepy sci-fi scenes that I think would scare the girls). We usually end up at Mama Melrose's but the food doesn't dazzle us. We go for the fantasmic VIP tickets. They are building now a TS location in Toy Story Land which sounds cool but no date as to when that's opening. I don't know if there is a TS restaurant that accepts the dining plan in Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge. I haven't been there as it wasn't open yet.
AK - most recent we are at Tusker House for the Rivers of Light package. It was an excellent buffet of African inspired dishes (and American food too). It is a character meal though with Mickey and Co. Great value for one TS credit. We also liked Yak & Yeti. Very tasty and cool theme inside. It is in the Asia part of animal kingdom which I really found very enjoyable this last trip. It had a very peaceful and positive vibe vs Africa which is vibrant and loud and bustling.
Non park restaurants - we loved O'hana (Ohana means family which is perfect for big family trips) at the Polynesian resort for dinner! The food is amazing with one complaint, I didn't like the steak from the skewers but that could have been a bad night or what not. The Polynesian inspired food is served family style and it's all-you-care-to-eat. I would eat there for the dessert alone but everything was great!!! Breakfast is a character meal and I haven't done that. I also love Cape May Cafe at the Beach Club resort if you like seafood! It is a new england style buffet (seeing a pattern here lol) with amazing crab legs and other delicious food. Again, breakfast is a character meal and I've only done dinner. Another good value for one TS credit. Husband doesn't love it as much as me because he's not a huge seafood fan.
There are endless options for meals. I'm sure you'll find something you love! Remember to also plan back-up options so that of you can't get reservations (not unheard of) you have another place to fall back on as you keep trying to get the restaurant you really want! Good luck!
We went apple picking yestersay and then out to lunch. My parents came over to watch Gatsby! I am still nervous leaving him home because of stitches and not jumping. We are so close, don't want to ruin anything now. It was soooo nice being out of the house! I felt so free haha. We got corn on the cob, Apple cider doughnuts, and apples (of course). We've basically been living on those the rest of the weekend!
H is now taking the kids to a coworker's get together and I'm staying home with the baby (aka gatsby). I'm secretly so happy to have the excuse to stay home alone for a few hours. What will I do?!? P.S. duh - watch the Bears game and derp on my phone.
Well yesterday was a little stressful, and I admit it still sorta is. First off I am almost 11 weeks this is the timing of miscarriage last summer. I haven't been anxious or worried about it truly, but when j had cramps yesterday and some spotting things definitely got anxious. It was only brown spotting and very little,but the cramps made it worse. Things have settled today no more discharge, more feeling like crap and not so much cramps. Ugh what a mental mess. I have to go in likely Monday for a rhogam shot now and will probably ask for a heart rate check for peace of mind. I am supposed to leave Monday a week for Texas and I just can't deal with that while gone.

Praying for you & baby aggiebug. Is your appointment in the morning at least?
dreemkin thanks so much for the info! I’ve been reading Disney articles for a few weeks but it’s so overwhelming. I’ve never been to WDW or had any interest so there’s so much I don’t understand - it’s like a different language 😂

I have to call tomorrow I don't have an appointment. I just know I will need the shot and they will want to get it asap because I think it's 72hrs from the event to get it ideally.
All is fine. Baby looks good, heart rate is good just a subchorionic hematoma. Getting stabbed in the rear and then good to go. Thanks for the good thoughts and prayers.

lilyelayne it's been a few years since WDW but I second dreemkin about chef de France, the food was delicious. The sci-fi one that she mentioned was regular diner food with trailers of old black and white movies. The food was okay and the clips are pretty mellow if I remember.
And yes the canning was more relaxing. I like doing stuff like that, and I read while the jam was processing.
Also dreemkin you should be a disney travel planner, all that info was awesome!
kartish yum! Looks good. And thanks! I would love to be a travel agent but I'd be too nervous having people's vacations in my hands haha. At least my family wouldn't get (too) mad at me if I screw up something! Also, I'm glad that you mentioned sci-fi dine in being mellow; I'm gonna do more research on that.
