Resort recommendations

I’ll second everything @Mr.TomMorrow said, we enjoy all three of those restaurants. I’ve only been to Whispering Canyon for breakfast because I love their banana bread french toast.

Have you been to Trail’s End Buffet? It has all the favorites from Hoop Dee Doo (fried chicken and ribs) and a ton more, for much, much cheaper. My all time favorite resort restaurant is Sanaa, the bread service alone is worth the trip. It’s a great place to explore with the animals and the resort itself it beautiful. Beaches and Cream is another place our family likes to go, the food isn’t going to win any awards, but it’s a fun setting that feels very Disney to me. And it’s a great excuse to walk around the Beach Club and enjoy that resort.

@rocketear99 That is too funny that we recommended the same places!

We had dinner at Trattoria al Forno one night and the atmosphere was nice and the food pretty good, however, It’s not on our must do list.
We do enjoy strolling along the Boardwalk and taking in all the excitement there.

I’ll throw my lot in for Boardwalk places. We’ve eaten at Flying Fish (which is Signature), Big River Grill, and Trattoria al Forno.

Flying Fish was OK, but I prefer pretty much any signature I’ve eaten thus far to that one (food was good, service was lack luster for us ).
Big River Grill was rather good. Might revisit if I stay at Boardwalk again. Liked the micro brews. Food was decent. Service was good.
Trattoria al Forno was very nice. Food was excellent (even according to my Jersey born and raised wife which is high praise ). Service was also excellent.

It’s just that at the end of the day, when I’m looking for Disney go-to’s I’m looking for not just good food and service, but also fun atmosphere and when it comes to atmosphere, I didn’t think any of those restaurants quite did it for me.

I suggest Whispering Canyon. Loads of fun and a GREAT resort to tour at the Wilderness Lodge. We sometimes take the boat around the lake just for the tour.

Trails End at Fort Wilderness!
