Ok, I finally have the pics uploaded and ready to go!

To answer the above poster's question, we were on the dining plan (regular not deluxe).

First up is Sunshine Seasons, where we had lunch on the first day of our trip. I had read a lot of reviews of Sunshine Seasons here on the boards and was really looking forward to trying it since there are so many different things to choose from.

After looking around at all the different sections, I decided on the Turkey and Muenster Cheese on Foccacia with Chipotle Mayonnaise, or as the friendly CM serving it was calling it, Turkey with "Monster Cheese"! DBF was going to order the Ham and Salami Grinder, but when he saw how good my sandwich looked when the CM was cutting it for me, he decided to have the same. After we got our sandwiches, we went over to the pastry area to choose our desserts. I chose the Key Lime Pie, and DBF chose the Soarin' Brulee.
Here is a picture of DBF's tray:

And my tray:
http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii270/daniandryan/Disney08-1-027.jpg


We both LOVED the sandwich. There were lots of fresh, leafy greens on the sandwich along with the turkey and cheese, and the bread was great too. It tasted like something you'd find at Panera.

My key lime pie was huge but it was very light which was a nice surprise. Instead of being creamy like most key lime pies I've had, it had more of a mousse-like texture. I thought that for a counter service dessert it was excellent!

DBF's Soarin' Brulee was great too (I would know, I snuck a spoonful or two!) I like creme brulee best when it's just made so it's still warm, but for a counter service creme brulee it was better than we had expected.

We both loved it here and are definitely planning on returning on our next vacation!

[DaniandRyan]

Can't wait to read it ! Sounds like you had a great mix of table service and counter service. Just wondering - did you visit the Animal Kingdom and not eat, or did you not visit that park ?


We did visit Animal Kingdom but only for about half a day and we did not eat there. Our original plan was to try to get in to Yak and Yeti for lunch that day, but we got everything done that we wanted to do pretty early so we ended up leaving and going to Hollywood Studios and eventually eating lunch at Pizza Planet that day.

We had planned on going back to AK another day during our trip but the park's early closing time made it a little difficult and we never got back.

[poffles]

Absolutely love food reports with pictures! I am addicted and await more of you review.

[mpmluvstigger]

Cant wait for more!!!!

[DaniandRyan]

Later on that day we were walking around World Showcase and I had to stop when I saw this:

http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii270/daniandryan/Disney08-1-037.jpg


DBF and I decided to share a Fiesta margarita, which was layered with Lime, Strawberry, Green Apple, and Mango


http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii270/daniandryan/Disney08-1-029.jpg




It was HUGE, even the two of us couldn't finish one. I liked the Lime, Strawberry, and Mango flavors but I wasn't too crazy about the Green Apple. DBF liked the Strawberry the most. I've read other people's reviews that have said they thought it was too strong, but it didn't seem too strong to me. But then again I love tequila so no amount is too much! :banana:

Next up is our dinner at Le Cellier!

[angelmav]

Loving your reviews and pic's!

[disneymom2twins]

Off to a great start!!!

This was our first time using the DDP. I was upset about the changes, especially the tip not being included anymore. I'm not really sure if we would use it again, I saved all our receipts and I'll have to eventually total everything up and see if it was really worth it.

[SmallWorld71]

Enjoying everything so far!:goodvibes

Great start your sandwich and the desserts looked yummy :)

[DaniandRyan]

The first dinner of our trip was at Le Cellier. Neither of us had ever been there before and we were very excited to try it. We arrived and were seated in the Manitoba (...I think?) section. Our waiter came and explained to us that on the dining plan we could have a non-alcoholic specialty drink so we both ordered the Chocolate Raspberry Shake, and we both ordered the Canadian Cheddar Cheese Soup as an appetizer. The shake was soooo good, I finished it before we even fininshed our appetizers! If you've ever had those little Ghirardelli chocolate squares with the raspberry filling in the middle, it tasted just like that. We both loved the cheese soup, especially along with the pretzel bread.


http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii270/daniandryan/Disney08-1-048.jpg



For our entrees, I had the Filet with maple barbecue sauce and cream cheese mashed potatoes, and DBF had the Mushroom Filet with cream cheese mashed potatoes instead of risotto. DBF loved his filet. I tried a tiny piece of his and it was really good, I really liked the sauce that was on it. My filet was good, the only thing wrong with it was that I ordered it well done but it was completely pink throughout. I didn't eat much of it and I probably should have sent it back but I was pretty full already from eating all the pretzel bread! We both loved the cream cheese mashed potatoes.


My plate:

DBF's plate:

For our dessert, I had the Seasonal Sorbet, which was Mandarin Orange:

http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii270/daniandryan/Disney08-1-053.jpg



DBF had the Chocolate Moose, which he had been looking forward to getting ever since he saw a picture of it here on the DIS:

http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii270/daniandryan/Disney08-1-054.jpg



I loved the sorbet, it was nice to have something light since I was already so full! DBF loved the moose but couldn't finish much of it since he was so full too.

Our waiter seemed very very confused by the new dining plans and messed up our check a few times, but that's understandable since the new plans had only been in effect for a week. We liked it here and will probably come back on our next trip.

[DaniandRyan]

Our dinner at Le Cellier was pretty early, so hunger struck when we were back at our hotel room that night. We saw the pizza delivery menu on our tv and decided to order a snack:

http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii270/daniandryan/Disney08-1-055.jpg




The breadsticks didn't really taste too fresh but the sauce to dip them in was good. The wings were just ok too. We both like wings that are crispy on the outside and these weren't but they were very spicy, which I do like.

I wasn't really expecting much since this was just a late night snack but it got the job done!

[poohluvrs]

Great so far!:thumbsup2 popcorn::

Is it worth paying OOP for the cheddar soup @ LC?

[DaniandRyan]

It was worth it for us this time, since neither of us had tried it before and we really wanted to. We liked it and thought it went great with the pretzel bread, but one bowl for each of us added about $11 of out of pocket charges so if you're looking to save money I'd say skip it. The entree and dessert would have been enough to fill us up anyway, plus if you want something to munch on while you're waiting for your food the breadsticks are great. :)

[DaniandRyan]

The next morning, we had an 8:05 reservation for breakfast at Crystal Palace. We arrived at the Magic Kingdom and got some great pictures of the castle with hardly any people in them:


http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii270/daniandryan/Disney08-1-060.jpg




http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii270/daniandryan/Disney08-1-063.jpg







There was a photopass photographer on Main Street and she took a picture of us holding Tinkerbell, which I was really excited about because I love those special photopass pictures with the digital characters in them (during our trip we also got the picture in front of the Haunted Mansion with the ghost in the background, us holding baby Simba at Animal Kingdom, and us pointing to Stitch coming out of the street at Hollywood Studios).



We arrived and were seated right away. I have an almond and stone fruit allergy, and chef Randy came over right away to speak with me about what I could and couldn't have. I wish I could remember our waitress' name, she was very very friendly! She brought us some juice and then we went up to the buffet.

Here is my plate:


http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii270/daniandryan/Disney08-1-065.jpg





Here is DBF's plate:

http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii270/daniandryan/Disney08-1-066.jpg







There were 2 things from the buffet that I fell in love with - the Puffed French Toast from the kid's buffet and the Breakfast Lasagna. At first we didn't see the Breakfast Lasagna and thought maybe they didn't have it anymore, then DBF found it off to the side and we're so glad he did! DBF also really loved the Frittata, but I skipped that because I hate eggs. He went up for seconds but one plate had me stuffed!

We loved it here are we can't wait to come back!

[stagemomx3]

You have now changed my mind about eating at Sunshine Seasons, we will definetly be going there! That sandwich and creme brulee look and sound wonderful!:lovestruc Also I'm be keeping my eyes peeled :banana: for the margaritas!:worship:

[KristinAnne]

I'm enjoyng your thread. Can't wait for more ideas of where to eat when we go! :banana:

[daisy112878]

Love the report so far. Can't wait to hear more.

I'm beginning to think Le Cellier is having difficulty in their kitchen cooking steaks. Dh and I were there in december and both asked for medium. Dh got well done and I got raw. I've read on here and talked to others that have been in the past few months. They also had troubles with the temperature of their steaks. Hopefully they get it worked out before we go back in june.

[englishrose47]

Great reviews. I am trying Le cellier thismonth. I am glad to know you can susstitute mashed potatoes for risotto, what were the dess ert choices ? I am going to try the cheese soup oop too !!

[DaniandRyan]

I know they had the sorbet, chocolate moose, campfire smores, chocolate whiskey cake, and creme brulee, and I think there may have been a few other choices I'm forgetting.

[DaniandRyan]

Here are a few pictures I forgot I had taken at Crystal Palace:

[DaniandRyan]

We had originally planned on skipping lunch today since we knew we were going to have a huge breakfast and we had an early dinner reservation at Cinderella's Royal Table (4:15 was the only time we could get since we added this reservation only a few months before our trip), but I ended up getting kind of hungry so we decided to go to Cosmic Ray's. I went right to the chicken section because I knew I wanted this:


Half Rotisserie Chicken with Mashed Potatoes and Vegetable
http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii270/daniandryan/Disney08-1-122.jpg




I think DBF kind of wanted a burger but didn't feel like going to a different section since the lines were kind of long, so he ended up with a Grilled Chicken Sandwich with Fries:

http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii270/daniandryan/Disney08-1-123.jpg



I loved my chicken. There was lots and lots of white meat, and I got a few little containers of barbecue sauce to dip it in. The potatoes were great, I love mashed potatoes with the skins in. This was a great counter service meal, it tasted like it could have been table service.


DBF was happy with his sandwich, I tried a bite of it and it was good. We both had the Sugar-Free Brownie, which was prepackaged but was delicious. It was really moist and chocolatey.

We will definitely come back here on our next trip!



As a little bonus, here are some pics of Sonny Eclipse!

[DaniandRyan]

When we were walking through the park, I saw Aloha Isle and although I wasn't the least bit hungry, I was dying to try a Dole Whip Float! I never had a Dole Whip before and I always see people rave about it.


http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii270/daniandryan/Disney08-1-154.jpg


Now I know why everyone loves Dole Whip! It was great and I wanted to get another one later in the trip but never got around to it. I can't wait to have it again next time we're at the Magic Kingdom.

[JoanieS]

Great pics and great reviews!

Sunshine Seasons was not on my "list", but you can bet it is now :)

[Disneylvr]

I am loving your reviews!! I am now convinced we made the right decision about make a breakfast ADR at the Crystal Palace. YUM!!!

[Eeyore Excitement]

Love your reviews! I just now remembered, thanks to your review for Cosmic Ray's, that we did go there in our trip of '06- I specifically remember getting very freaked out by Sonny Eclipse XD

[BaBeeCee14]

Glad you enjoyed Le Cellier. I can't wait to try that cheese soup! DF and I are planning to make an ADR there during our honeymoon.

[arieljasmine]

I love that cheddar cheese soup at Le Cellier :goodvibes We have not tried Crystal Palace for breakfast but it sounds great, those waffles are too cute!

great review!!!!!!!!!!!!!:thumbsup2

[DaniandRyan]

I'm happy everyone is enjoying the reviews so far :)

Our next dinner was at Cinderella's Royal Table. We originally hadn't planned on eating here because I had heard very mixed reviews but I hadn't eaten in the castle since I was a little girl so I decided to make us a reservation, and I'm so happy I did because we loved it!

When we arrived we were directed to the line for pictures with Cinderella. I heard reviews where people have said their Cindy was less than friendly to adults, but ours was so sweet! After we got our pictures taken, I was given a magic wand and DBF was given a sword, which we were very excited about because I didn't think they gave them out to adults and who doesn't want a magic wand :wizard:

We were seated at a table for two by the window. Here are a couple pictures of the view from our table:

http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii270/daniandryan/Disney08-1-155.jpg



Chef Jody came over right away to speak with me about my allergy. He was the nicest and most accomodating chef I met that week. Our waiter was very nice as well. It was his first night working but he did a great job.

He brought us some delicious pretzel bread with honey mustard butter and regular butter:

http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii270/daniandryan/Disney08-1-156.jpg

DBF loved the honey mustard butter, I didn't care for it.



For our appetizer, we both ordered the Castle Salad with no walnuts:

http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii270/daniandryan/Disney08-1-157.jpg

It was great! It had lots of blue cheese and fresh raspberries.


DBF ordered the Pan Seared Salmon with grain pilaf, grilled asparagus and glazed with rosemary-lemon honey:


http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii270/daniandryan/Disney08-1-159.jpg

He liked it a lot, salmon is one of his favorite things to eat.


I ordered the Lemon Lavender Chicken on mashed potatoes with wilted spinach and a chicken jus:


http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii270/daniandryan/Disney08-1-158.jpg


I wasn't going to order chicken since I had chicken at Cosmic Ray's for lunch that day, but I decided to order it anyway and I'm happy I did. The chicken was really good. It had a lot of lemon flavor.


While we were eating, Suzy and Perla came around to all the tables for pictures, which was another great surprise because I've heard reviews where people said they didn't stop at the tables.

Here is a picture of the Fairy Godmother while she was walking around announcing special occaisions, etc.

http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii270/daniandryan/Disney08-1-163.jpg


And here is a picture of the inside of the restaurant:


http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii270/daniandryan/Disney08-1-164.jpg


Next, we ordered our desserts. DBF ordered the Royal Crown Sundae:

http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii270/daniandryan/Disney08-1-172.jpg



And I ordered the Raspberry Sorbet:


http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii270/daniandryan/Disney08-1-171.jpg


Neither of them were really anything special, but we were both too full to eat anything heavier.


We both really enjoyed it here, and are planning on returning next time! If you are a couple without kids and are skeptical about going here, go for it! We had a great time. :)

[mindyd]

Hi

I am glad you liked CRT we are eating there for the first time and I am so excited about it!

[wannabprincess]

I'm glad you like CRT, I'm so excited to try it this year.

[arieljasmine]

Wow, I would love a magic wand! That ice cream looks really good too, I am becoming more and more convinced about giving CRT a try.

Laur's princess:

[wilma-bride]

CRT looks great - I love the sound of that lemon chicken :thumbsup2

[DaniandRyan]

Since our Cindy's reservation was so early, when we got back to the hotel at night I was hungry again so we stopped at the World Premiere Food Court.

I had a Kid's Spaghetti with Grapes and Applesauce:


http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii270/daniandryan/Disney08-1-199.jpg



DBF had a cheeseburger and fries:


http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii270/daniandryan/Disney08-1-200.jpg

We both thought they were average, but what I really liked about the food court was all the options. I loved that I could get something like spaghetti instead of being stuck with a burger.

The next morning, and every other morning of our trip, I had a Mickey Waffle with Strawberry topping:


http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii270/daniandryan/Disney08-1-201.jpg


YUM!! I love mickey waffles and they always put lots of strawberries on top.


DBF had the same thing every morning too. I'm not exactly sure what it is. Some kind of omelet or something. As I mentioned earlier in the report, I do not like eggs, so I didn't taste this at all.


http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii270/daniandryan/Disney08-1-202.jpg

[TigerKat]

Great pics, really enjoying your review!:thumbsup2

[DaniandRyan]

The next day our original plan was to go to Animal Kingdom, try to get a walk-up spot at Yak and Yeti for lunch, then spend the rest of the day at Hollywood Studios and have a CS dinner.

We finished up everything we wanted to do at Animal Kingdom and we weren't hungry yet, so we headed over to Hollywood Studios, went on a few rides, then decided to eat lunch at Pizza Planet.


I ordered the Junkyard Meal Deal, which was an individual veggie pizza and a salad. For dessert I got a Mickey Krispie Treat.


http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii270/daniandryan/Disney08-2-024.jpg


DBF ordered the Buzz Meal Deal, which was an individual cheese pizza and a salad. He chose a cookie for dessert.


http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii270/daniandryan/Disney08-2-025.jpg


We both thought it was great for a counter service pizza. It was so much food that I couldn't even finish it all! We liked it here, and would probably go back, especially since we don't really like any other counter service choices in Hollywood Studios.

[wilma-bride]

No Yak and Yeti then :confused3 The cheese pizza looks good though :thumbsup2

[arieljasmine]

We like Pizza Planet too, especially that ranch dressing you can get for your salad! Yum. And what a good idea to have a kid's meal when you are a bit hungry, that looked really good.

Laur's princess:

[SmallWorld71]

Thanks for the update! We always eat a Pizza Planet. It's certainly a very basic menu, but we have found them to be very consistent. Our 1st trip there was in the early 90's and I don't think they have changed at all. :upsidedow

[sandym718]

Oh that waffle with strawberries looks sooooo good!!!

[DaniandRyan]

Later in the day, we had a snack at Dinosaur Gertie's. Nothing special, just vanilla ice cream in a cup, but it was great to have on a hot day.

http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii270/daniandryan/Disney08-2-038.jpg

[DaniandRyan]

After spending most of the day at Hollywood Studios, we decided to head over to Magic Kingdom for a few hours. We were hungry, but not hungry enough for dinner, so we went to the Main Street Bakery for a snack.

There were so many great-looking things at the bakery it was hard to choose what we wanted.


DBF had a chocolate muffin:

http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii270/daniandryan/Disney08-2-055.jpg



I had a Cinnamon Bun:


http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii270/daniandryan/Disney08-2-054.jpg


They were both delicious!

[arieljasmine]

Yummy looking snacks, especially that chocolate muffin :goodvibes

Laur's princess:

[DaniandRyan]

That night MK closed early, so we ended up just having dinner at our hotel.

DBF had a Hot Italian Sandwich:

http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii270/daniandryan/Disney08-2-057.jpg



I had spaghetti (adult sized this time!):

http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii270/daniandryan/Disney08-2-056.jpg


I was jealous of DBF's sandwich, it was really good! It was ham and turkey with melted cheese and caesar salad inside.

My spaghetti was decent, but I didn't like the meatballs so I traded them to DBF for a few bites of his sandwich :thumbsup2

[DaniandRyan]

The next day we were at Epcot and for lunch we had planned on snacking around World Showcase, but found so many good things in France we just snacked there!

First we each had a strawberry crepe from Crepes des Chefs de France


http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii270/daniandryan/Disney08-2-075.jpg


http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii270/daniandryan/Disney08-2-076.jpg


DBF didn't even know what a crepe was :rolleyes: but he loved it. I liked it a lot too, but I wish it had fresh strawberries inside rather than strawberry preserves. It was a little too sweet for me.

We both love cheese and I knew I wanted to try the cheese plate from Boulangerie Patisserie so we shared that:

http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii270/daniandryan/Disney08-2-077.jpg

I loved the two cheeses in the front. I didn't like the one in the back (closest to the bread), and neither did DBF.

To drink with our lunch, we got something I knew I had to try, the Grey Goose Citron Slush and Grand Marnier Orange Slush from Les Vins de Chefs de France. I love me some Goose :thumbsup2

http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii270/daniandryan/Disney08-2-079.jpg



http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii270/daniandryan/Disney08-2-078.jpg


They were really good. A little weak for my taste, but good!

[BaBeeCee14]

mmm that crepe looked yummy!

[quixoticvalue]

I must be in a really weird mood right now but that cheese plate looked delicious! :lovestruc

[englishrose47]

I had the cheese plate last week too and loved all 3 cheeses, that along with a Raspberry shuss were a great lunch. The cheese plate is a good oop deal at $5.99 and the shuss is a sc. !!

[KristinAnne]

I must be in a really weird mood right now but that cheese plate looked delicious! :lovestruc

Yes it does look so good!!

[stagemomx3]

Details, I need details. How EXACTLY do I find that Grey Goose citron drink?

[DaniandRyan]

It's at Les Vines des Chefs de France, a little stand that is next to the crepe stand. The stands back up to the WS lagoon. :)

[arieljasmine]

That hot Italian sandwich does look good :goodvibes

Our dinner that night was at Coral Reef. Both of us were really looking forward to it since we had never been here and I've read a lot of positive reviews.

We were quickly seated and our waitress, who was very strange, mumbled some things about the menu and took our drink orders. She came back with our drinks and bread, and then wanted to know what we wanted to eat, appetizers, meal, AND dessert. I wanted to wait until after we finished our meal to choose what I wanted for dessert so I asked her if I could wait. Nope, apparently we're not allowed. Maybe I could understand this if it was busy, but it was 4:30 on a weekday and the restaurant was pretty much empty.

DBF ordered Lobster Soup, Blackened Catfish served over pepper jack cheese grits, with smoked tomato compote, balsamic glaze, and Baileys and Jack Daniels Mousse topped with a ganache and chocolate cigar.

I ordered the Pumpkin Risotto infused with Manchego Cheese and green beans topped with fried parsnips and cranberry sauce and the Key Lime Tart with mango sauce.

Ordering the Risotto led to a strange conversation with our waitress, which went a little something like this:

Waitress: (surprisingly) You want the risotto?

Me: Yes

Waitress: Don't you know what risotto is?

Me: Yes

Waitress: And you still want it?

Me: Umm...yes

I don't know why she was so surprised, last time I checked there wasn't anything out of the ordinary in risotto :rolleyes:

DBF loved his Lobster Soup. I tried a taste and I also thought it was really good.

I liked the Risotto at first. I wasn't too crazy about the cranberry sauce, but the risotto and fried parsnips were really good, but after eating it for a while I started to get kind of bored of it. Like I saw someone else who had it mention in another thread, it probably would have been better as a side dish.

DBF liked his Catfish. He said it was a little too spicy for him, but other than that it was good.

http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii270/daniandryan/Disney08-2-110.jpg


Both of us thought our desserts were just ok. I liked the mango sauce on my Key Lime Tart, but the tart was nothing special. It was really heavy and too too sweet. I actually liked the Key Lime Pie at Sunshine Seasons much better than this.

http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii270/daniandryan/Disney08-2-114.jpg

DBF didn't really say much about his Mousse, other than that it was ok. I can't remember if I tried any or not.

http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii270/daniandryan/Disney08-2-115.jpg



We probably won't go back here any time soon. Neither of us loved anything, except for the soup, and we'd rather eat at one of the many great places in World Showcase instead of somewhere we thought was just ok.

[mrsbelle]

I'm enjoying the reviews! Thanks for taking the time to do them!

[mindyd]

Great review that is funny about the waitress with the risotto.

[DaniandRyan]

Thanks for the compliments everyone :) I'm happy you're enjoying the reviews.

Later that night we went to DTD for some shopping and decided to use a snack credit to make our own treat at Goofy's Candy Co. We each decided on a Mickey Gingerbread Cookie, mine dipped in dark chocolate with rainbow sprinkles and caramel drizzle, and DBF's dipped in white chocolate with white chocolate chips, dark chocolate chips, crushed M&Ms, milk chocolate drizzle, and I think there are some crushed oreos hiding in there too (he went a little crazy with the toppings!).

We ate them a day or two later and they were delicious! I think even the plain cookie by itself still would have been great. We wanted to go back and make more but we never got around to it. We'll definitely go back next time we're at WDW :)

What great PICs!!! Drool! Drool!:joker:
My one regret is not getting back to Goofy's (Nov./Dec.07) for something chocolate. Boy that looks good.

Thanks for the reviews.:beach:

[donaldtutter]

Great reviews so far. Looking forward to more.

[DaniandRyan]

We spent the next day at Hollywood Studios and had lunch at Sci Fi. This was the ADR DBF was most excited about. Ever since he saw pictures of it he knew he wanted to try it. I was excited to try it too because even though I've been to WDW multiple times, I never knew Sci Fi was there :eek:

Our ADR was for 11:30am and we were about 15 minutes late since we both overslept that day (I know, how can you oversleep in WDW :sad2: ). We were still seated right away and our waitress took our drink orders. You can get a milkshake as your drink included on the DDP, so I got a Strawberry Milkshake and DBF got a Vanilla Milkshake.

I only took a picture of mine since in the dark they both pretty much looked the same:


http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii270/daniandryan/Disney08-2-141.jpg


I really liked mine. DBF liked his too, but liked mine better.

We each had a burger. I ordered mine with cheddar cheese, bacon, and onions with cucumber melon salad instead of fries (I like fries sometimes, but I really have to be in the mood for them). It was a typical burger but since I hadn't had a burger in a while I really enjoyed it. The cucumber melon salad was ok. I'm not a huge fan of cucumber but since I didn't feel like having fries I ordered it anyway. I mostly just picked out the melon and left the cucumber :thumbsup2

For dessert, I had some kind of chocolate mint sundae. I don't see it listed on the menu on Allears. It was vanilla ice cream with chocolate sauce, whipped cream, and junior mints. It wasn't really something I wanted, but my choices were limited because of an allergy. I was pleasantly surprised, I liked it much more than I thought I would.

http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii270/daniandryan/Disney08-2-147.jpg


DBF had an apple crisp, which he didn't say much about but he finished the whole thing so I guess it was good!

http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii270/daniandryan/Disney08-2-148.jpg


Here are a few pics from inside the restaurant:

We both liked it here. The food was pretty much what you'd expect from a typical place that serves burgers but we loved the ambience and the service was great. We'll definintely be returning on our next trip, DBF insists on it :)

[scnrc00]

It all looked great! We are dining at some of those places in Sept. so it was great seeing your pictures and your reviews of those places.

Glad to hear you can order the milkshake as your drink still. I had the oreocookie shake last year and it was Yummy!! I didm'n't like the applecrisp or my shrimppasta to well but the rest had steak and sundaes and were happy with them. I think I'll have steak next time and a different dessert . Has anyone had the cheesecake with carmel there ??

[BabyPiglet]

Did you have mushrooms on your Sci-Fi burger as well? Because I think I see some in there, or maybe the picture is just weird.

Great reviews!

[SuzieN]

I had the cheesecake at Sci-Fi - it was yummy! It had carmel corn and m&m's on it as well as carmel sauce!

[englishrose47]

Yes that sounds GOOD! Going with the Gang next year and of course the boys want to do the CAR restaurant!!:cool1:

[DisneyJo]

The SciFi burgers look gorgeous, my DD whos looking over my shoulder wants one now :rotfl:

You're right, I didn't think I had mushrooms but looking at the pic I guess I did!

[DaniandRyan]

We did not have an ADR for dinner this night. We wanted to do some more shopping at DTD, so we decided to see if we could get a table at Raglan Road. This was the one meal we hadn't planned and it ended up being the best meal of the trip!

Even though we didn't have an ADR we were seated right away. Our waitress, who was very friendly, took our drink orders and brought us some of this delicious Irish Soda Bread and dipping sauce. I forget what she said was in the sauce, but it was really good!

http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii270/daniandryan/Disney08-2-256.jpg


I also forget what the name of the drink I ordered was. It was one of the specialty alcoholic drinks on their menu. I remember it had Midori in it. I also remember that I downed it pretty fast :thumbsup2

http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii270/daniandryan/Disney08-2-255.jpg


DBF and I both decided to order the It's Not Bleedin' Chowder - potatoes, mussels, prawns, scallops and fresh seafood infused with white wine and finished with cream.

If you like seafood, you should definitely try this! There was lots of fresh seafood and the sauce/soup/whatever it was, was creamy and delicious.


http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii270/daniandryan/Disney08-2-257.jpg


For dessert, DBF got the Bailey's Creme Brulee Tart:

http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii270/daniandryan/Disney08-2-259.jpg


At first he thought it was great (and it was, I tried some), but once he tried my dessert, he said his paled in comparison.
I had Ger's Bread and Butter Pudding:

http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii270/daniandryan/Disney08-2-258.jpg

This was the best thing I had to eat all week! I never had bread pudding before and I don't really know why I had the urge to order it, but I'm happy I did. It came with caramel sauce and vanilla sauce, and as our waitress instructed, I made a hole in the middle with my spoon and poured both of the sauces in. YUM!!!

We had a great time at Raglan Road, and we both agree that it was our favorite meal of the week. The food and service were both wonderful and we will without a doubt go back during our next trip :)

[cmsnyder77]

Question about the bread & butter pudding at RR - does it have raisins in it?

It looks phenomenal and I would love to try it, but don't particularly care for raisins.

[BabyPiglet]

Another great update! We adored Raglan Road and can't wait to go back. Especially to try the bread pudding!

[TigerKat]

Can't wait to try Raglan Road on our next trip!

[englishrose47]

I can't remember! I love raisns so i wouldn't have cared! Someone else help out !!

DITTO!!! :thumbsup2

[castmemberb4]

I don't think it has raisins, because I loved it, and I like my bread pudding fruitless, the way my Irish grandmother used to make it.

[DaniandRyan]

The bread pudding had golden raisins in it, but there were very few. I don't care for raisins either but I barely noticed them. :)

I just stumbled upon your report and I'm loving it. Can't wait for more.

[DaniandRyan]

We spent the last full day of our trip at MK. There was one snack I knew I wanted to try at MK that I hadn't tried yet. Figaro Fries!!! DBF and I used a snack credit to share one order of fries.


http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii270/daniandryan/Disney08-2-353.jpg

http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii270/daniandryan/Disney08-2-354.jpg


For the few of you that haven't tried them, they are fries topped with cheese sauce, lettuce, tomato, bacon, and ranch dressing. YUM :thumbsup2
I think next time we'll each get our own fries because we didn't really want to share them with each other :laughing:

[DaniandRyan]

We ate lunch that day at Columbia Harbour House. I had the Lighthouse Sandwich - hummus with tomato & broccoli slaw. DBF had the Anchors Aweigh Sandwich - white tuna with lettuce and tomato. I had chocolate cake for dessert and DBF had an apple crisp.

I love love love hummus and I really liked the sandwich. The hummus was good and I really liked the broccoli slaw. I can't comment on the chips that came with it because I don't really like chips so I didn't eat them.

DBF liked his sandwich. He eats tuna sandwiches all the time and said this was a good one. I don't know why, but I don't really remember anything about our desserts :confused3

Great update. Waiting for more...........

[DaniandRyan]

The last (:sad1: ) TS meal of our trip was Boma. This was another ADR I was really looking forward to because of the way people rave about this place.

Our waiter was very nice, he took our drink orders and reccomended some things for us to try. On our first trip to the buffet we each got a bowl of soup. I really wanted to try the coconut curry seafood soup, but they didn't have it that night. I decided to try the carrot ginger soup, and DBF had some other kind of seafood soup. I LOVED the carrot ginger soup. It was thick and creamy and had a great flavor. DBF liked his soup too. I tried it and I liked the seafood but didn't really like the soup.


http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii270/daniandryan/Disney08-2-372.jpg

Here is my plate from my next trip to the buffet:
http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii270/daniandryan/Disney08-2-373.jpg

Clockwise from the top: Potatoes with Afritude, Mealie Bread, some kind of sweet potatoes, chicken with some kind of African sauce, macaroni and cheese and chicken fingers (just to be on the safe side in case I didn't like the African food ;) ), and the white stuff in the middle is pap.

Here is DBF's plate:
http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii270/daniandryan/Disney08-2-374.jpg

Clockwise from the top: some kind of rice, potatoes with afritude, bobotie, mealie bread, nut-crusted salmon, chicken fingers.


We both loved the potatoes with afritude. They were spicy, but not too spicy. I really liked my chicken, but wasn't too crazy about the sauce. The sweet potatoes I had were great, and the chicken fingers were great of course :laughing: The two things I did not like were the mac and cheese (not cheesy enough, but not African either so touché ;) ) and the pap. The pap tasted like polenta when it's solid. I am weird when it comes to polenta. I like it soupy, and with nothing on it.

DBF really loved his salmon. His favorite thing was the bobotie, he still talks about how good it was. I didn't try any, it just didn't look appetizing to me, and I think it had eggs in it :scared:

We went back up so DBF could get some more bobotie and I got a small bowl of watermelon rind salad and pasta salad for us to try.
http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii270/daniandryan/Disney08-2-375.jpg

The pasta salad just tasted like regular pasta salad. Kind of a disappointment, I was expecting some kind of African flavor. The watermelon rind salad was probably my least favorite thing I tried all night.


Next it was time for dessert!
http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii270/daniandryan/Disney08-2-376.jpg

Those little fruit tarts were really good. I don't remember a thing about that chocolate volcano looking thing. I was really excited to try the zebra domes, and they were good, but my favorite dessert (and DBF's too) was the pineapple upside down cheesecake. They were soooooo good. On the bottom is a thin layer of white chocolate, which I usually don't like, but this white chocolate was really really good.

I really liked it here. I love trying different foods I haven't tried before. It seems like DBF liked a lot of the food here, but for some reason he doesn't want to go back next year :confused: I still have time to convice him though!

[KatInHat]

I have been lurking here since the beginning. I am really enjoying your reviews and the pictures. Everything looks yummy; they're making me hungry. Thanks for sharing.
I had to tell you that I agree with you about the pineapple upside down cheesecakes. They are delicious. I have the recipe for them... heaven I tell ya!
My husband feels the same way about Boma. He liked what he ate but don't want to go back this year. I think we are going to try the Tusker House dinner buffet instead.

[Alice28]

Thank you for sharing! Loved all the pics- the sandwiches at CHH ARE yummo!

[DaniandRyan]

We had lunch on our last day at Boulangerie Patisserie. We saw some ham and cheese croissants in the display case when we got our cheese plate earlier in the trip and we knew we had to go back and try them. They looked amazing the way they were but after we ordered them the girl working there offered to toast them for us. YUM!!!! They were sooo good. They had lots of cheese on the inside and on the outside. Dessert was a difficult choice since there were so many things to choose from. I decided on creme brulee, and DBF decided on Strawberry Mousse. The creme brulee was good but DBF's mousse was REALLY good. I ate most of it ;)

I think this was probably our favorite CS. There are so many options here. We are definitely going back next time :)

[Leslieann1024]

great dining review ! Thanks for sharing, you've made me hungry . . . . ! Enjoyed your experiences immensely, especially the figaro fries for some reason; I wouldnt ever eat them, but love seeing them reviewed for some reason; go figure . . . . .

[DaniandRyan]

Later that day, we stopped in Italy for some wine

http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii270/daniandryan/Disney08-2-423.jpg


http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii270/daniandryan/Disney08-2-422.jpg

The wine we had was the first one listed in the sign. It was really good, I love most red wines. DBF isn't really a fan of wine so I drank most of it myself :thumbsup2


We also had a snack at Kringla Bakeri Og Kafe. I don't have a picture because it was POURING outside and very windy and didn't want to risk getting my camera wet. DBF had a cookie and I had schoolbread. I was really expecting to like the schoolbread but I didn't. The texture of the cake wasn't as soft as I was expecting and the custard was kind of bland tasting. There were lots of other great looking things there so maybe next time we'll go back and try something else.

This was my very last review :sad1:

Thank you all for reading, I really appreciate all the compliments and I'm really happy everyone enjoyed the reviews. We are staying at POFQ for 9 nights in Jan 2009 and I will definitely do more reviews when we get back :)

For dessert, I had some kind of chocolate mint sundae. I don't see it listed on the menu on Allears. It was vanilla ice cream with chocolate sauce, whipped cream, and junior mints. It wasn't really something I wanted, but my choices were limited because of an allergy. I was pleasantly surprised, I liked it much more than I thought I would.

DBF had an apple crisp, which he didn't say much about but he finished the whole thing so I guess it was good!

Here are a few pics from inside the restaurant:

We both liked it here. The food was pretty much what you'd expect from a typical place that serves burgers but we loved the ambience and the service was great. We'll definintely be returning on our next trip, DBF insists on it :)
Bumping Up!!

Wonderful reviews! I love how you even took the time to take pictures of the snack items, too - sometimes an ice cream is just an ice cream :) I have just a few comments:

Sci-Fi - I LOOOOVE their frappes, and they are a meal in themselves! Someone said the Oreo one is the bestest, and I do have to agree. And even though you and your DBF had burgers, SciFi has the best Reuben sandwich EVER!!!! Must-go on every trip for me

The Lighthouse Sandwich from Columbia Harbor House - I LOOOOOVE this sandwich - the broccoli slaw in it is SO yummy! My mother was a little turned off by the description of this sandwich at first, so she got the ham and cheese. After she tried it, she made me take her back for the LAST meal of the trip so she could have it one more time! It is delicious, the bread is so crunchy and doesn't get soggy at all, and you don't feel heavy and lazy after eating it like you do sometimes after grease-filled burger and fries. Best CS in MK IMO.

Raglan Road - SO GLAD you posted pics and that you loved it! This is the ADR I am most excited for on my next trip. You sold me on the bread and butter pudding - it looks incredible. Thanks so much for sharing!!!!!!!!!!!
