    Hi Mark,

    I'm sure if you asked all the Moms Panelists this same question, you'd get a dozen different answers, since we each have our own personal favorite Disney dining spots.

    But if it were me, I'd choose to drop either the Liberty Tree Tavern or Mama Melrose. To me, these are the least special of the ones on your list. For example, I like Mama Melrose, but it's menu and decor are both pretty standard for an Italian American restaurant. You'd likely find similar fare at the Italian restaurant in your home town, or even at an Olive Garden. There's nothing wrong with it at all, but it's not particularly unique.

    As for Liberty Tree Tavern, I may still have a bias from when they eliminated the characters from this spot a few years ago. To me, the characters were the big draw, and without them the restaurant lacks ooomph. The meal is Thanksgiving dinner. Everyone has had Thanksgiving dinner with their own family and thus has in their head a specific way that this type of food should taste. In my opinion, it's not Thanksgiving like Mom makes, so something feels off to me.

    Again, there's nothing really wrong with it, and the LTT has MANY fans, but it doesn't really tickle my fancy.

    On the other hand, Teppan Edo and Ohana have truly yummy food, Tusker House has a unique menu, Chef Mickey's has Mickey, and the 50s Diner has some Disney-only fun. These are choices that I wouldn't want you to miss.

    Good luck with your planning. Please let us know if you have additional questions.
