Hungry honeymooners-- 8 Days on DDP

[hgbluesparkles]

First off a little introduction: My husband (Mark) and I (Heather) had our honeymoon at Disney from March 19-27.
http://i706.photobucket.com/albums/ww65/fitzgreene/Honeymoon/DSCN1102.jpg

We spent our first night at Pop Century with the rest our vacation at Port Orleans- Riverside. This was our first vacation at Disney as adults but both of us went several times as children. Of course as kids our parents threw subpar fast food at us while racing through the park so we were surprised to learn of all the tasty and more upscale dining choices available to us. I read this board religiously before securing my ADR's and I do believe my research paid off because dining was definitely one of the best parts of our vacation. In fact my husband said it was his favorite part! So in return for all your help, I've tried to write very detailed and picture filled reviews of pretty much every single place where food or non-pre packaged drinks entered mine or my husband's mouth. I don't have pictures for every single thing but I've included a few pictures each day. I should also note that we were on the DDP. I will include our price of the dining plan compared to actual cost of food on a per day basis to help any curious readers figure out if the dining plan might be right for them.

The restaurants/carts/ bars I will be discussing in this dining review are
Day 1- Everything Pop (http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?p=31083988&posted=1#post31083988)

I'm in!!! You guys are such a cute couple can't wait to hear about your dining adventure :banana:
I laughed at your comment about parents throwing subpar fast food at u when you were younger and had a flashback moment :rotfl:

[BriarRosie]

Heheh. I pictured your parents throwing burgers and fries at you. :laughing:
Very eclectic mix of table service, counter service and snacks you have there.

[oybolshoi]

Had to snicker at the comment about parents and food at WDW ... I grew up with the same experiences and it wasn't until about 10 years ago that the hubby and I discovered the joy of real food at WDW.

Hope you had a lovely honeymoon and congratulations! :goodvibes

[OurDogCisco]

LOL... I can totally picture food throwing by parents even though I never got to go as a child. I can't wait hear the rest of your review...

[luckytobeme88]

congrats:hug:

[MickeyNicki]

I am so in for this one! What a cute couple you guys are and CONGRATS!!

[hgbluesparkles]

I laughed at your comment about parents throwing subpar fast food at u when you were younger and had a flashback moment :rotfl:

Hahaha, what's funny is that both our parents did seem aware that there was better things to eat because they were asking us about all the restaurants we went to, but when you're with kids there can be that "Dumbo-or-Die" mentality (to quote UG) that blocks out every other thought other than lets race around Fantasyworld like mad people.

[hgbluesparkles]

congrats:hug:

I am so in for this one! What a cute couple you guys are and CONGRATS!!

Thank you!

[hgbluesparkles]

Sorry, no pics on this one, you'll just have to picture hamburgers and fried foods in your mind. :rotfl:

When we finally arrived at Pop after a long trip famished and exhausted. We had to transport our own luggage because I never got the appropriate tags and some very rowdy teenagers from various sports teams arrived at the same time as us and got on the buses first so it took about 2.5 hours from landing to get to Pop and in our room. We immediately went down to the Everything Pop restaurant. The selection there is great but predictably it was crowded and loud. We were feeling like typical fast food so we went to the grill station where Mark got a double cheeseburger, fries, and a vitamin water and I got the chicken tenders, fries, and vitamin water and we shared a chocolate cupcake with vanilla frosting. The total OOP was just over $25. We thought this was a tad expensive for fast food but there were other choices of higher quality probably for just a dollar or two more. The food was standard but it hit the spot as we were looking for something kind of ordinary and comforting after a long day. I may have missed the stand for it but I would have appreciated some sort of dunking sauce for my chicken a la McDonalds but they were good enough to eat plain and all white meat.

[MiNniEDrEameR]

I'm in!

[hgbluesparkles]

We were still tired from the previous day so for lunch once again we opted for the food court, this time at our new resort Port Orleans- Riverside. It may have been because of the time of day but we found Riverside Mill to be a much quieter and nicer food court experience than Pop although the choice of stations was somewhat similar.

One thing that really sets POR apart though was the DIY pasta station which I immediately made a beeline for. You chose your pasta, sauce, protein (chicken or shrimp), and toppings and the cook prepares it before your eyes. The people in front of me went crazy with their toppings, getting 6+ toppings each. I chose to have fettuccine alfredo with shrimp, sun dried tomatoes and peppers. The portion of pasta they give you is huge and comes with a breadstick, it would probably be enough for 2 and I ate less than half of it. For dessert I chose a magic cookie bar which was wonderfully sweet albeit very heavy. Hubby had to eat a large portion of it for me.

http://i706.photobucket.com/albums/ww65/fitzgreene/Honeymoon/DSCN0924.jpg
Speaking of hubby, he ate the roast beef and bleu cheese sandwich which in his opinion was the best quick service food he ate all week (he's pretty much a bleu cheese fanatic). It came with a side of rather unique chips which were less salty than normal chips with a thicker texture. I'm not sure if these are the standard chips that come with all Disney sandwiches or unique to POR but we both thought they were quite good. The brownie was super fudgy and chocolatey.

Total price: About $29 (DDP)

http://i706.photobucket.com/albums/ww65/fitzgreene/Honeymoon/DSCN0935.jpg
Later that day, we went to EPCOT and after just an hour in Future World, Mark wanted to try the beers of the world in the World Showcase. His first stop was Kringla Bakeri og Cafe in Norway where he sampled some Carlsberg Beer. Mark thought the beer was decent although somewhat similar to a standard macrobrewed American lager like Bud. Later he sampled Spaten at Sommerfest in Germany which he liked better than the Carlsberg. We also tried the soft pretzel there which was pretty much the same as the soft pretzel you could get at any number of pretzel carts around any of the parks. Being tired and thirsty I just grabbed an energy drink at Sunshine Seasons.

Total price: $8.50 (DDP), $15 (OOP, from free $200 giftcard)

For dinner we went to Les Chefs de France. I had my eye on the coveted Le Cellier for that night but it was not available and I ended up with Les Chefs instead. I seem to recall some debate over whether the three course pre fixe "French Menu" was available on the DDP. In our case, it was.

http://i706.photobucket.com/albums/ww65/fitzgreene/Honeymoon/DSCN0937.jpg
I had the lobster bisque, gratin de macaroni, and the creme brule. The lobster bisque was excellent and I managed to get several chunks of lobster in mine. I was looking forward to the bread but found it next to tasteless.

http://i706.photobucket.com/albums/ww65/fitzgreene/Honeymoon/DSCN0939.jpg
The gratin de macaroni was good but lacking some flavor. The cream seemed too watery so it turned out kind of like noodles topped with cheese in a pan with milk. The creme brule was good, but cold in the middle.

http://i706.photobucket.com/albums/ww65/fitzgreene/Honeymoon/DSCN0938.jpg
Mark also had the French Menu. For an appetizer he tried the salad de chevre chaud which was a fresh salad with cheese, walnuts, tomatoes, croutons, and endives. He enjoyed it but wished he had my soup instead. For the main course he chose what I think were the short ribs but it came with fettuccine not polenta as listed on the Dis menus. This could be a new dish for the new French menu. Anyhow he said it was very good and tender. For dessert he also had the creme brule but reported that his was not cold.

Overall this was a decent meal but not anything terribly memorable. The atmosphere was a lot of fun and very Parisian which was our main reason for eating there. Some people have complained that the service was slow or rude but we did not find that to be the case. Our server was very quick and attentive.

DH was starving the minute he got to Animal Kingdom so we decided to hit up the Yak and Yeti counter service as soon as we entered the park. The line for this counter service location was long and overly crowded although I think that was mainly due to a large high school tour group who arrived en masse at the same time as us (we had no luck with teenagers for our first couple of days!). The other thing I disliked a bit about this location was the outdoor seating with many tables without shade. Even in March I felt the sun beating down on me at our unshaded table, I imagine it would be much worse in the sweltering summer heat.

http://i706.photobucket.com/albums/ww65/fitzgreene/Honeymoon/DSCN0949.jpg
I got the shrimp lo mein with a frozen lemonade for dessert. The portion size on this was extremely generous and there was an ample amount of shrimp which I wasn't expecting but was pleasantly surprised by. The quality was a step above mall Chinese food, which actually considering it was Chinese food at a theme park I was pleased with. DH got the kung pao beef with a chocolate cake and used a snack credit for the chicken fried rice as well. Again, the portions were generous. I had one bite of the chicken fried rice and thought it tasted nasty but DH liked both the rice and the beef.
Total price: About $38

http://i706.photobucket.com/albums/ww65/fitzgreene/Honeymoon/DSCN0993.jpg
After our day at Animal Kingdom, we headed over to the Lodge to the much heralded Boma (sorry no pics of the food, but here's the Lodge). DH had been really looking forward to this meal ever since I made ADRs and I was hoping he wouldn't be disappointed. The waiting area was mobbed with people so if you do want to eat here I would say an ADR is a must! Our waitress didn't give us much information as to what was available aside from her recommendations for her favorite soup but we made do and even tried most of the stuff we weren't sure about. I went up for two plates and dessert, DH had a total of four so you know that the food was good! My favorite items were the chicken (loved the spicing), the falafel balls, the potatoes with afritude, fufu, the zebra domes, and the chocolate mouse. Actually the only thing I didn't really like was the pap (it literally tasted like nothing to me, which bothered me). Some of the pieces of fruit were a bit questionable in terms of freshness. I had several overly ripe strawberries. DH loved the ribs, pretty much anything with a spice to it, Moroccan seafood stew, and the bread pudding with rum sauce. Overall an excellent meal that we would go back to on another trip.
Total price: About $62

Yours is the second eh okay review for Chefs de France :sad2: the short ribs are listed as coming with pasta on the allears menu polenta would be tasty though! That Y&Y CS looks very generous, I don't even get that size shrimp with my lo mein here so thats good to see! Great reviews and pics

Yes, it was actually a lot better than I was expecting. I was impressed with the quantity and size of the shrimp as well.

The next day it was my intention to get breakfast at Riverside Mill before heading to Hollywood Studios but we woke up too late so it was another lunch for us.

DH got the beef and bleu again, this time with the magic cookie bar. I got the turkey sandwich with a Rice Krispie Mickey head.
http://i706.photobucket.com/albums/ww65/fitzgreene/Honeymoon/DSCN0994.jpg
The turkey sandwich was very fresh and yummy but the bread had some sort of seeds in it or something that came off all over my hands. It was a total mess. The picture has the sandwich half eaten so you can see it is quite large like most things at Disney. The Mickey treats are great if you don't want to eat your QS dessert with your meal because they're portable. I just stowed it away in my purse and had it for a late night snack later that night.

Total price: About $27

Later at DHS we had reservations for '50s Prime Time Cafe. It was quite crowded as I think they were accepting walkins. We got in pretty quickly though, just enough time to get DH a beer. The waitress was really in character, harassing DH about if he was old enough to drink a beer (it was the only time we were carded all trip!), telling us to "do our homework", etc. DH was terrified of her because she kept on yelling at the couple behind us and didn't dare do anything to upset her. I got yelled at for drinking my PBJ milkshake too much before dinner but she told DH he had been good the whole dinner!

http://i706.photobucket.com/albums/ww65/fitzgreene/Honeymoon/DSCN1000.jpg
I got the Aunt Liz's Golden Fried Chicken with the PBJ milkshake while DH got the Top Sirlion Steak. The PBJ milkshake was awesome, but I didn't taste very much if any jelly. The whole fried chicken dish was very well done, much better than KFC or the like. I had no reason not to eat my veggies-- they were yummy! DH liked his steak okay, but he liked my chicken much better. I had the Daddy's Brownie sundae for dessert which was really really good but WAAAAAYYYY too much. Mark had the Grandpa's Bread Pudding, also good.
Total price: About $57

Later at the hotel we got a drink from the hotel general store: $4.25

Total price for the day: $88.25
Total savings for the day:About $8.20

[BreTyPres87]

That is a ton of chicken! One good thing about Disney is that they don't seem to scrimp on the servings thats no KFC dinky chicken lol
that sandwich would annoy me too was it like poppys or something? I hate any kind of seeded bread :headache: it looks like a great sized sandwich! Can't wait for the next review!! :goodvibes

[hgbluesparkles]

On Sunday night we called transportation line and asked what time we should catch the bus to make our 8:05 ressies at Crystal Palace (park opening time 9:00). They told us to show up around 40 minutes early, but my DH let me sleep in and we showed up for the buses at 7:30. Bad move. Another MK bus didn't come until 8:10 despite two buses showing up for every other park. :confused3 My plans for eating breakfast leisurely and then being right up front to enter the park were squashed. Thankfully they were still able to seat us.

No pictures of food here but here's DH with Pooh, who was soooooo excited to see newlyweds.
http://i706.photobucket.com/albums/ww65/fitzgreene/Honeymoon/DSCN1008.jpg

I'm not a huge breakfast person but I did enjoy this as did DH, who is a huge fan of breakfast. We thought the food quality was very good, much better than a Shoney's or another similar type of breakfast buffet. The fruit was tasty and fresh. I liked the potato casserole, breakfast pizza, biscuits, and fruit. I did not like the waffles at all though. They seemed kind of underdone on the inside. Character interaction seemed to go kind of slowly. From parents complaining on both sides of this I got the impression that the characters were coming around kind of slow. Maybe people were just in a rush like us? In any event we only got face time with Pooh although Tiger did pat DH on the back as he went through the parade.

We ate so much at breakfast and slept from 12:30-3:30 so we didn't have another meal until our dinner at Kona. We didn't know Kona didn't open until 5:00 and got there a little early. They gave us a buzzer and we headed over to the Tambu Lounge. DH just had to have the lapu lapu, while I had the Tropical Macaw (I think?). The bartender was very friendly and the drinks were delicious and strong.
http://i706.photobucket.com/albums/ww65/fitzgreene/Honeymoon/DSCN1016.jpg

Although it was cool to look around the Poly, the ambiance at Kona isn't much. That being said, food wise, in a week full of excellent meals, Kona was both mine and DH's absolute favorite restaurant. We started off with the sticky wings. I had seen pictures and reviews on here of these and although I normally wouldn't have had an appetizer I decided I had to try these. Sooo deliciously good! I loved the mustard sauce they put on these. Next, I had the tuna oscar. That yellow stuff is wasabi hollandaise and was pretty much my new favorite sauce. I pictured the tempura-fried jumbo lump crab being larger but it was good.
http://i706.photobucket.com/albums/ww65/fitzgreene/Honeymoon/DSCN1017.jpg

DH had the teriyaki style New York strip steak which was covered in pineapple (yum!) and a sauce similar to the sauce on the sticky wings but sweeter. We both had berry smoothies with our meal. I forgot to mention, the bread with macadamia nut butter. What can I say but :cloud9:. Seriously, it might be the best bread and butter I've ever eaten and I love bread.

http://i706.photobucket.com/albums/ww65/fitzgreene/Honeymoon/DSCN1020.jpg
They brought out this adorable dessert for us since we were on our honeymoon. It took us awhile to realize that the Lilo and Stitch design was actually made out of chocolate. I'm sure they must have stencils or something to make it but we were really impressed with the artistry. We were only able to have a few bites because our regular desserts came out a few minutes later. I got the chocolate banana creme brulee while DH had the Kilauea Torte. Again, beyond delicious. We were totally satisfied with this meal and plan to go back there on our next trip.

http://i706.photobucket.com/albums/ww65/fitzgreene/Honeymoon/DSCN1021.jpg

[hgbluesparkles]

Okay I'm back for more dining deliciousness...

On Tuesday we decided to stay at the hotel to "rest" for the day. We slept past noon and then headed over to Riverside for another lunch there.

No pictures, but DH had the double cheeseburger with a magic bar and I had the chicken and fish basket with the chocolate cake. DH thought the cheeseburger was pretty good and perhaps a tad better than Pop's double cheeseburger. The chicken and fish basket was perhaps the worst thing I ate all week. In fact, I found the fish inedible. Everything tasted as if salt had been poured all over it. While I don't expect gourmet quality fish out of a place like Riverside, I did expect it at least to taste similar to a fish and chips meal at someplace like Applebees. This didn't even taste like fish. Surprisingly, I gave the fish to DH and he thought it was fine. Perhaps I just got caught with a bad piece or something.

We went over to the main pool and swam for a bit before grabbing a drink at the pool bar. When I heard about the pool bar I wasn't sure if it was a separate entity from the pool or if it was actually at the pool a la most Caribbean resorts. The bar is separate from the pool but they give you plastic cups so you can go sit by the pool with your drink, you just can't go into the pool with a drink. There is also a nice shaded wooden deck area you can sit at and we decided to sit there to get out of the sun. I got the non-alcoholic sour apple freeze (tastes like sour candies) while DH got a beer. DH is a microbrew fanatic so he was pleased to see they did have some local microbrew selections rather than just Bud, etc. I believe the beer he got was called "Purple Haze".

After a nap (yes, we like our sleep) we headed out to DTD. I was saving a TS credit for Narcoosee's later that week so we used a QS credit at Wolfgang Puck Express. As far as I'm concerned this is the absolute best usage of a QS credit as it is nearly a full service restaurant featuring delicious food.

http://i706.photobucket.com/albums/ww65/fitzgreene/Honeymoon/DSCN1047.jpg
I got the BBQ chicken Focaccia with a nonfat yogurt with chocolate chips. I love pretty much BBQ chicken anything so I thought this sandwich was outstanding and full of flavor. The onion overwhelmed a bit but I like onion so that was okay. The nonfat vanilla yogurt was next to tasteless, not a good choice at all. I was looking for something relatively healthy but next time I'll get fruit instead.

http://i706.photobucket.com/albums/ww65/fitzgreene/Honeymoon/DSCN1048.jpg
DH got the BBQ chicken pizza with the creme brulee. His pizza was even better than my sandwich (I just had to have a bite) but a similar concept. He reported that the creme brulee was even better than the one at Chefs and he thought the strawberry really enhanced it. One note I should make about WGPE is that a tip does seem to be expected (and is certainly deserved) by the servers. Being a QS restaurant we didn't realize people would be waiting on us and only had a few dollars in our pocket. We gave him everything we had on us but still felt like we were slighting him a tip so be sure to bring some cash.

I will review the rest of our night eating and drinking at DTD in my next post.

[Uncle Remus]

Great pics, I love 'em. :yay:

Thanks for writin' a review for us, it looks like y'all had a wonderful time 'n picked some really good stuff. popcorn::


Oh 'n congratulations 'n best wishes to you both. :love:

[Busymom85]

Congratulations! Looking forward for the rest.

[frdeb1999]

Congratulations!! I am loving your review! Looking forward to more! :)

[Uncle Remus]

I think I congratulated 'em twice, they're just such a cute couple 'n they get good food. :lmao:

I wish she'd get back in here, I'm hungry for some more pics. :teeth:

[Lynn5700]

Hi! Congratulations!!

I can't wait to try 50s PTC!!!!!! Were going there for the first time next month!

[hgbluesparkles]

Sorry for leaving everyone hanging. I'm here and back with more pictures and food. Continuing our adventures at Downtown Disney...

http://i706.photobucket.com/albums/ww65/fitzgreene/Honeymoon/DSCN1062.jpg
At Goofy's Candy Company we made our own cookies. Both of us had chocolate cookies with peanut butter filling. DH had his covered with milk chocolate, Reese's Pieces, and Butterfingers (pictured above). Mine was with dark chocolate, Reese's Pieces, and caramel. If you like sweets Goofy's make your own candy is a must try. It was our favorite use of a snack credit all week. Plus there's no way you could eat all this in one sitting, our snack lasted us the rest of the week.

We walked towards the Pleasure Island section and stopped into Cooke's of Dublin to see if we could get a D'oh Bar (we hadn't eaten any of our cookie yet, we're not total sugar fiends!) but they were sold out. We decided to head next door to have a pint at Raglan Road.
http://i706.photobucket.com/albums/ww65/fitzgreene/Honeymoon/DSCN1059.jpg
I decided to try some Strongbow Cider while DH had the Bodington's and New Castle. The prices of drinks here would be steep practically anywhere else at $6.50 a pint but are actually quite reasonable for Disney considering you also get the entertainment of an Irish stepdancer and a live band. We have decided Raglan Road is a must visit for food next time we go to Disney as even the bar food looked divine.

Walking a little past Raglan Road we came across a small cigar shop and bar called Sosa's. Neither DH or I are smokers but DH decided he wanted to smoke a cigar in celebration of our nuptials . Smoking in a bar is a novelty to us as this hasn't been allowed in Massachusetts in the past several years. DH picked out a cheap $5 cigar but the options for cigars ran from cheap to $100+. If you want to get away from children, Sosa's may be the last outpost at DTD to do so. I don't think children are prohibited-- one family did briefly step in-- but very few parents would want to subject their children to a smoke filled bar. For the quietness alone we did appreciate Sosa's.

[madameleota71]

I would also like to add my congratulations! :) Love your pics so far.

[Lynn5700]

That cookie looks so good!
