When we spend a week at the Fort, we usually "hang out" around the campground, resort hop, or go shopping a couple of the days while we're there. In other words, we don't feel the need to go to the parks commando style the whole seven days.
Anyway, there are days when we don't feel like cooking or eating the buffet at TE, so one evening we rode up to Port Orleans Riverside and ate at the food court there. Well, I think this is my new favorite eating spot. The building is absolutely gorgeous and very relaxing. There are 4 or 5 different food "stations" from which to choose from. There is a "design your own" pasta and pizza area, a bakery, a "choose your own" salad area" and burger area, and a carving station.
When we went, my DD (11) ordered a pizza, DW ordered shrimp alfredo, which was cooked while she watched, and I ordered carved roast beef with mashed potatoes, green beans and cornbread. All of this including drinks cost me around $25.
The dining area was clean, it was relaxing, and as Disney standards go, it was cheap. The atmosphere was also top notch (as food courts go)
So if you're at the Fort and don't want to cook, don't want a lot of food from the buffet at TE, give Port Orleans Riverside Food Court a try.
As you leave FW, turn left out of the campground, go to the traffic light, turn right. It will be the first resort on your left.
