A lot of the ones mentioned as over-rated we really enjoy (Kona for all meals, 50's Prime Time, LTT for lunch but not dinner, etc.) but we didn't see the big deal with Le Cellier. I also wasn't fond of Cali Grill...we went for the Wishes view and couldn't get past the crowd to see them! I'm also not a fan of Crystal Palace dinner but there isn't any place I would refuse to eat.

I agree, especially for the price (about $50 per adult if you count tip). My wife, I, and our toddler went with some friends who also have a toddler. We did it before going to Night of Joy. Now the characters are nice for the kids (though my toddler started screaming whenever they came by). The buffet food is mediocre and the selection is limited.
For a character dinner with Mickey, we find the Garden Grille at EPCOT and the "family style" dining to be a much better character dinner value without having to get up and fight the crowds at the buffet.

Shhh! Don't tell everyone how much better the Garden Grill is than that chaos madhouse called Chef Mickey's
Crystal Palace! Only had it for breakfast but we were not impressed AT ALL! It didn't seem like there was a very big variety and the food that was there was cold....and we had one of the first reservations of the morning!
I also agree with Cinderella's Royal Table. Especially since they took the salmon off the menu! I always recommend Akershus over CRT to those who want to do princess dining because it's cheaper(1 table service credit), you get more food (and better, IMO), and it still feels like you're in a castle.
I must say I'm surprised at how many people have voted "LeCellier" and "Ohana"! The mushroom fillet, cheddar cheese soup, and maple creme brûlée are some of my favorites of the entire resort! I just hope those votes will make it easier for me to get a table at these fine eating establishments!
