    Default Which restaurant would you choose and why?

    I'm trying to decide on one more place to make a ADR for, any suggestions?

    Marrakesh is a lot of fun and a slightly different experience. L'Originale Alfredo di Roma is now closed. A new restaurant will be opening in Italy within the next year.

    You have a nice line-up planned. I think you'll enjoy your dining and your stay.

    I voted for Marrakesh because I like Moroccan food and it would be very different from your other choices. You have a lot of Epcot dining planned... lucky you! A lot of people on these boards like WCC as well but I haven't eaten there.
    As for other suggestions, are you looking for something quiet and romantic or family-oriented?

    It is just my husband and I so more towards the romantic side. We like to try new things and aren't picky eaters.

    Whispering Canyon Cafe is supposedly great fun. My family has never eaten there, but it is one of the restaurants we have always wanted to try.

    Restaurant Marrakesh is currently winning the poll. We did not enjoy this place. The food was decent, but weak compared to Mediterranean food we have at home. Our experienced was probably tainted by the incredibly loud and obnoxious party near our table. We could barely have a conversation throughout the meal.

    We probably won't go back.

    Marrakesh is my favorite of the bunch. We enjoyed Turf Club a lot, too.

    I think Marrakesh sounds the most unique.

    I voted for Marrakesh. I loved it the first time I went. I had the lemon chicken which was wonderful. It fell right off the bone, and the entertainment is an added bonus.

    I vote Whispering Canyon because the atmosphere at Wilderness Lodge is cool. The food is good and it is a lot of fun. At least we had a great time in June!

    Atmosphere wise I would choose Marrakesh but the menu does not appeal to me at all.

    I vote for Whispering Canyon. Supposedly the WL is beautiful and after dinner you could take the boat over to one of the other lagoon hotels and grab an after dinner drink and then watch Wishes or the Electrical Water Pageant from the beach or just stroll down the resort beach together.

    I see Marrakesh is winning but, we've never ate there so, I cant review it. WC we ate there this past June. The food was ok imo the atmosphere was great just really loud with all the interaction that goes on. If you have kids go for the WC they'll enjoy.

    Marrakesh is one if my favorite restaurants at Disney. The belly dancer is great entertainment and, in my opinion, the food is excellent. If you choose Marrakesh, you've got to try the Seafood Bastilla. If I could get those at home, I would eat them everyday.

    We are choosing Marrekesh as our new dining experience for our trip - so I voted for it here too. I hear it is yummy.

    I like the Whispering Canyon. You have a choice of all you can eat family style skillet or ordering off the menu. The interaction can be either as heavy as you like or you can ask for the back room where you can just enjoy the food, the company, and the ambience. I think the WC gives you the most options.

    We are trying Boma's this trip for our new experience. I want to add that you do have a wonderful assortment of dining experiences already.
    How does this experience influence your park plans? I always find it a waste of time to switch just for dinner. Is there an area you will be in for this dinner?

    I would definitely choose Whispering Canyon! I love it there. It's so fun and very Disney! I think you'll get a great meal at Marrakesh too.
