Delco's on Main St. in Dunedin is your best bet for Philly style hoagies and cheese steaks. Just as an FYI they are cash only.

There are a bunch of great places at Disney. I certainly say the Chef's Table at Victoria and Albert's is one of the best meals I've ever had. The California Grill idea I think wold be great as well. I had a surprisingly great meal at Fulton's in Downtown Disney which is nice because house of blues and cirque du soliel is right next door and offer a good entertainment option as well. One of the great things about Disney is that they love to work with special occasions. As Rona pointed out above the link is a great place to start if you want to do things on property. Also, I read they have a private dinner cruise on the lake from the Grand Floridian during the magic kingdom fireworks.

The Brown Derby at Hollywood studios is great. If you've experienced the ones in LA I would say this is close but not quite there. You do still get the feeling you're in a theme park and not on a street in LA. That being said the service has been exceptional both times I've been there and anything beats the typical burgers and fry combo. Also, in years past securing a reservation there got you priority seating at Fantastic which is I think the best thing at that park.

I'm excited about Artist Point. I've heard that might be the best place on property from a few others. We're staying at the Animal Kingdom Lodge so I would think there will be a good chance of trying Jiko as well.

This is disappointing news but I went with Bluezoo because Victoria and Albert's were booked up. I think i'm going to give it a shot. If it comes off as bad as you say then I will for sure let everyone know.

I appreciate it. We were hoping for good seafood. Any particular item you would recommend?

I'll be sure to keep good notes.

I haven't really ventured to much into the sit-down service places at Epcot yet. I did have Chef's De France last year and thought it was fairly solid. Wasn't exactly like what I remember from Paris but not bad for Disney version. Is there one sit-down at Epcot that you would recommended? We have a day planed there and would be nice to be able to take a break and eat somewhere without ordering from a counter. Also, thanks for everyone's help here. I really appreciate it.

I haven't had them yet but plan on Boma this time. We are staying there so we might have a chance to sneak into both. We aren't really tied into the parks as we've seen them both a ton of times, so leaving for a great meal and coming back later is I think what we're planning on. I tried to get into Victoria and Albert's but they were booked so I opted for Bluezoo.
High Lights so far:
Boma
Bluezoo
Ohana- Breakfast
Artist Point

P.S - When I get back i'll be sure to give some good details on everywhere we stop.

Unfortunately i think I got suckered into the Chef Mickey's breakfast on one morning. Is there something in particular that makes it a problem or is it just way to generic for the price?

I for sure want to try the Ohana breakfast after reading some more about it.

The wife and I are staying in Disney for a few days before Christmas. We go there almost every year around this time and have some of our favorites but are looking to change it up this year and make it more of a food tour than anything else. Do you have a must have/favorite dish there? I know mine is the Portobello Mushroom cap with the Rosemary reduction at Portobello's downtown area. Or is there a gem close by thats worth taking a ride over for?

Last time I was up there(about year ago or so) I went to the BoarsHead. I remeber it being quite good. http://www.boarsheadrestaurant.com/.

1/good seafood - Ted Peters has the best food. Frenchy's Rockaway is the best location
2/ barbecue - Poppa's on 49th st. in Clearwater
3/cuban or other spanish - Arcos Iris or Ceviche
4/ ethnic - Red Mesa, Ivory Mandarin Bistro(Ask for a Chinese Menu and The Red Snapper),
5/ fancy restaurant - Bern's used to be the staple here but once chef Pierola left it stared going down hill, Cafe Ponte, Mise En Place, Black Pearl, E & E Stakeout(Not as fancy but food is great), Belleair Grill(used to be called Pepper Mill) are all solid choices.

Randy's on 580 in Dunedin for Dogs, and Italian Beefs.
Poppa's BBQ on 49th St -Although I think word is out on this place.
2nd whoever said Taco Bus on Hillsborough, Mazzaro's and Cappy's.

I had the same problem when I first moved here. I can't speak much for Hillsborough but in Pinellas the best beef by far is Randy's on 580. In Dunedin. He used to be on Tampa Rd and 19 in Palm harbor but has recently moved. It's on the north side of the road near Patricia(highland) ave. Might want to call 1st to check hours he's normally only open for lunch.
