There are many great restaurants throughout that are as much a part of a theme park vacation as those listed. I know there's not a section for rating those yet which would make it difficult for this year but it may be worth considering for the future.

I also question the validity of some of these ratings at times. I have an awfully difficult time believing many of the Asian attractions and restaurants legitimately meet the "threshold" of responses to qualify. I strongly suspect visitors read from others how great something is and go give it a high rating without having tried it for themselves e.g. just about everything at TDR. The amount of visitors who complain that they will never get to experience the overseas parks and attractions and the results of these awards seem rather inconsistent. I wish there were a way to remedy this.

My best memory is my 1 year wedding anniversary dinner at Victoria & Albert. But I still love the atmosphere of Le Cellier.

I've been to HKDL and Shanghai Disney and couldn't recommend anything food-wise at either. They really are lacking when it comes to options for the ol' stomach.

I really want to try the SS Columbia and Walt's.
