The husband and I have our 1st WDW trip coming up in Sept-- almost time to make sit down reservations for our free dining. Torn on whether some of the experiences are worth 2 credits and which to pick out of similar experiences. Will be there 9 nights. Help me decide!

Hoop-de-doo or Mickey's Backyard BBQ (either takes 2 credits)?
1900 Parkfare breakfast or Cinderella's Royal table (2 credits)?
Boma or Jiko (2 credits)?
Le Cellier or Les Chefs de France?
Yak and Yeti: sit down or counter service?

For sure: 50s Prime time Cafe and Scifi Diner.

1900 Parkfare breakfast or Cinderella's Royal table . If there aren't any kids in your group do the Castle!

Le Cellier is great!

Sit down for Y & Y because the DAK is so sweltering hot you'll enjoy the airconditioning if nothing else!!

1. Hoop-de-doo
2. CRT - Gotta eat in the Castle!
3. Le Cellier. Really good!

Haven't been to the others - so no opinion (though I agree with the HEAT comment above - so perhaps sit down at Yak & Yeti).

^^^Totally agree with you.
Y & Y sit down was very good too. None of us in our group (11) had the same meal.

I loved Cinderella's . The castle is so pretty.
Went to Park Fare for breakfast. Really fun. Mad Hatter really funny.
One of my other favorite's is Coral Reef.
Went to Prime time 50's last June. Our waitress was great!

>>Hoop-de-doo or Mickey's Backyard BBQ (either takes 2 credits)?

Never done BBQ but the staff is *great* (The Contemp Catering team staffs) Hoop is fun too and both have similar food

1900 Parkfare breakfast or Cinderella's Royal table (2 credits)?
If you want characters do 1900, if you want more experience than characters do CRT

Boma or Jiko (2 credits)? Never eaten at Jiko but LOVE Boma

Le Cellier or Les Chefs de France?
Le Cellier!

Yak and Yeti: sit down or counter service?<< Neither (I prefer Flame Tree) oh that wasn't an option... I havent heard one being superior to another- Ive only eaten counter service and it was okay but Panda Express is MUCH better

I'd go with:

Hoop-de-doo which is a great dinner show for all of the family. I personally think it is better value than the BBQ. Hoop is significantly better than the Polynesian Luau.

Park Fare is definitely better food. Royal Table is a wonderful venue though so you definitely need to trade those two off against one another. I don't think it is the best experience but the Royal Table is an incredibly unique experience (you can't eat inside any of the other Disney castles!)

I love Jiko - an incredible dining experience - if you love wine is has one of the best lists on property (with some exceptionally good South African wines). Jiko's is my first pick whenever I'm at WDW. That said Boma is the best buffet bar none - the food is excellent and it gives you the opportunity to try some ethnic dishes too that you might not know.

I'm not a fan of Le Cellier - but Chefs is a great dining location. Personally I'm still a huge fan of Coral Reef at Epcot (despite being veggie) as it is about my favorite dining room anywhere. They also have a wonderful Key Lime Pie martini that is to die for!

Y&Y - It depends if you want another sit-down option. The counter service is the same good food as the main dining room. It really depends on how much time you have at DAK.

Hope that helps!

>>>Hoop de doo

1900 Parkfare breakfast or Cinderella's Royal table (2 credits)?
>> going for best food or coolest atmosphere? Food better @ 1900 -Castle location is very cool if you've never been there

Boma or Jiko (2 credits)?
>> I prefer Boma because we are usually there in party of 8 - 3 kids. Wealready separate when eating @ CG( my sisters kids younger )

Le Cellier or Les Chefs de France?
>> Le Cellier still a treat -

Yak and Yeti: sit down or counter service?
>> one of the few places haven't eaten atyet


For sure: 50s Prime time Cafe and Scifi Diner.

We really enjoyed the lunch buffet at Germany this last trip (for almost $10 more/person the only thing extra for dinner is saurbratten, I can make that at home).
There was a fun "Oompa" band on stage during our meal, and enjoyed some nice conversation with the others at our table. K was the only kid and he still had a good time. Oh yeah, and the food was sehr gut too!
