RAGLAN ROADS - 10/15 -- Confessions of a Foodaholic: A DDP First Timers Review.

[Vallie]

Hello all! and welcome to my very first Disney Dining Review!! This is a companion to my TRIP REPORT (http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2276045). which you can go ahead and read too if you want!

So a little about us, its me and DBF on this trip, August 22-31. His first trip EVER and my first trip onsite and on the disney dining plan. We got FREE DINING! :cloud9: which was awesome! I wanted to do a dining review because when I was planning my vacay I spent alot of time drooling over food porn and reading reviews on this board! so thought I would contribute!

And as youll probably notice, we ate at PoP Century many times because we liked to just grab some food, relax and watch some TV while eating. It was a nice way to end the long hot days!

So onto the food! The delicious, the not so delicious and the raw chicken! :scared1:

Day 1 - Arrival Day Snacks and Drinks

Sorry this one is gunna be a boring one!

Our plane left from Buffalo at 7pm so we stopped and grabbed a quick bite for dinner beside the airport. I dont remember the name of the place but I do remember the food was pretty blah. I would have taken pictures buy my DBFs parents were with us and I didnt want them to think I was crazy :rotfl:.

So while we were waiting at the airport we grabbed some drinks.

DBF had a Sam Adams for the first time.

he said it tasted like juice. im not a beer drinker, but i tried a sip and i thought it just tasted like beer?

I got a malibu and orange :lovestruc which is my fave.
http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/jj63/vodisney/food%20report%20pics/DisneyWorld2009005.jpg
it was pretty good!

We arrived at PoP Century at 1am and we were feeling peckish but everything was closed for the night so we grabbed some chips from the vending machine.
http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/jj63/vodisney/food%20report%20pics/DisneyWorld2009294.jpg
we dont have this flavour in Canada and let me say they were YUMMMY! we use a few snack credits on these over the trip!

so thats about it... i cant believe i took pics of airport drinks and chips lol but a girls gotta do what she can for a dining review right?!

uP next: Our first Disney Meal, 1900 Park Fare for a late breakfast!

Day 1 - Brunch - First Disney Meal of the Trip

http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/jj63/vodisney/food%20report%20pics/DisneyWorld2009021.jpg

So since this was Craigs first trip and all, I wanted to plan soemthing special for our first morning, so I booked us a late 11am-ish breakfast at 1900 Park Fare. I thought it'd be a nice way to ease dbf into the whole disney thing and breakfast buffets are always yummy!

We loved loved loved the inside of this resturant! its so very pretty! Mary Poppins came to see us first, and she was great! Followed by Alice, Pooh and Tigger. We got to see all the characters twice! We liked Mary Poppins the best!


I'm sorry to say that for our first round of food I forgot to take pics until half way through Craig reminded me!
Sorry for the half eaten food pics! it wont happen again! promise!

My plate:
http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/jj63/vodisney/food%20report%20pics/DisneyWorld2009022.jpg
The mickey waffles were delish! i will give them that! I was really excited to try the Eggs Lobster Bennidet but I didn't like it at all.

Craigs plate:
http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/jj63/vodisney/food%20report%20pics/DisneyWorld2009023.jpg
Craig had tons of bacon and really liked the bacon, and potatoes... he didnt like the waffles much but he doesnt like waffles really anyways!

These are round two...

My plate:
http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/jj63/vodisney/food%20report%20pics/DisneyWorld2009025.jpg
The breakfast pizza also gets a thumbs down :( I had it again later at Chef Mickeys and thought it was great but this day .. not so much!

Craig's plate:
http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/jj63/vodisney/food%20report%20pics/DisneyWorld2009026.jpg
We shared this plate and it was very yummy!

Overall we enjoyed 1900 Park Fare but there were some things that I would say needed improvement. The biggest being that we didnt find there to be a whole lot of variety here for a buffet and the food was just good, nothing to write home about. We both gave it a 7/10. If the characters were not there we would probably only rate it a 5/10.

uP next....
Magic Kingdom snack + Pecos Bill

[Sandy321]

kung pao chips :rotfl2: See - now THAT's what I'm talking about!! never heard of them!! They sound good to me!!

:rotfl: What do you mean he cant remember the Beer? :rotfl: He better start trying!! :rotfl2: Dis'ers are looking forward to imparting his wisdom on their dh I mean - seriously try to remember the BEER!! :wizard:

Looking forward to the rest of your reviews! I agree- 1900 is a beautiful place, even if it is a buffet - I really like the atmosphere!

where are the character pictures? Did you see Mary Poppins? Does she know he may not remember the beer? :rotfl2:

Day 1 - Pecos Bill (and a Snack!)

Snack
Midway threw our day at Magic Kingdom, while we were in Tomorrowland we decided to stop for a snack. We split a cream cheese filled pretzel from the Launching Pad in Tomorrowland.
http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/jj63/vodisney/food%20report%20pics/DisneyWorld2009040.jpg
I thought it was soo yummy! It was kinda sweet but also salty with cheese sprinkled on top! Craig on the other hand did not like it at all, he liked it on first bite but then decided after one more he hated it. That was a-ok with me though, because I was more then happy to finish it! I gave this a 7.5/10 and Craig gave it a 4/10.

Pecos Bill
After much thought as to what we wanted to eat we decided on Pecos Bill. And boy, that was a very good choice! We both got Taco Salads (I only took one pic but we both got the same things on it pretty much – except I didn’t get tomatoes because quite frankly... i hate chunks of tomatoes yuck!) I don’t remember what we got as a snack... I think it was a cookie but I didn’t take a pic – sorry!

this one was a pic of mine... you can see how i skimmed around the salsa just to get the juice without tomatoe chunks :rotfl: im crazy, i know lol
http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/jj63/vodisney/food%20report%20pics/DisneyWorld2009051.jpg
We both LOVED this! It was so so yummy and we loved we could pick our own toppings from the topping bar! Craig was able to eat all of his but I wasn’t able to finish mine, it gets pretty heavy near the end. I also really loved that you could get pickles on the side from the topping bar! We both gave it a 9/10.

Just another tip for Pecos Bill... We were able to watch the spectromagic parade from here as well, we pulled up some of the chairs outside up to the fence and stood on them to watch the parade go by, it offered an okay view and there weren’t many people there.


uP next - Seaworld

[Vallie]

I'm here too!! I cancelled our 1900PF but we had a dinner ressie. Can't wait to read the rest! You're such a good reporter!! :thumbsup2

yay!! hiii! thank u u are too sweet! cant wait for your report when u come home!

1900 Park Fare is at the Grand Floridian right? It all looks so yummy! I can't wait to read the rest of them!

yes it is! probably shoulda mentioned that! it was pretty good!

[mchelle77]

I have to sub, you're going to a lot of the same places we are! :)

[Sandy321]

:rotfl2: I also go for the salsa juice!!

[jeminni]

I loved that you used peckish to describe how you were feeling. Thats my DD22 favorite word for when she wants something to eat but doesnt know what.

Why didnt you like the lobster eggs benedict? We had originally had ADRS at the GFC for breakfast our last day at WDW but I switched it to lunch. That was what I was planning to order, I love eggs benedict and lobster.

The taco salad at pecos Bills looks great. I am trying that this trip. :goodvibes ( 2 weeks and counting ;) )

[wilderness gal]

Great review....:thumbsup2

question.....did they have any cheese sauce or was it just shredded cheese only for the taco salad?:rolleyes1

Peco's Bill is one of our favorites, it has the bbq sandwich but I loveeeeeeeeeeeeee:woohoo: :woohoo:taco salads but I like cheese sauce w/that salsa too...

we were hoping to stop back by there for another visit....
thanks !:laughing:

Great start to the review. We love PB, we always eat on the walkway outside while watching Spectro Magic. I have never tried the taco salade, it really looks good. I always buy the chicken wrap.

[basketlacey]

Ooooh - I will have to try the taco salad. Looking forward to the rest of your review.

[faindrops27]

Loving your reviews!! Was the taco salad meat hot?? Also was the shall crispy or stale. I may give this a go.

[Vallie]

:rotfl2: I also go for the salsa juice!!

lol :rotfl: who needs the rest of the chunks.. the juice is the best part!

i love the word peckish! hehe Im not sure why I didnt like it, I just was soo excited for it and I took a bite and just didnt like it.... im not a huge egg fan unless they are scrambled to be fair. It was the lobster that drew me in hehe Maybe thats why?? If you love eggs benedict you'll probably like it!

and definitly get the taco salad! its delish! and you are so so lucky to be going in 2 weeks!

Great review....:thumbsup2

Day 2 - Voyager's Smoke House - SeaWorld Lunch

For breakfast before we went to Seaworld we both had crossiants from PoP Food Court, I had a plain one and Craig had a chocolate croissant. They were both delicious but unfortunately I don’t have pictures! We ended up eating these for breakfast most days though!
So we ended up having lunch at Sea World in a restaurant called Voyager’s Smokehouse, which ended up being the WORST food of the trip and I’ll explain why.

I had the kids chicken strip combo, which consisted of two chicken strips and some fries, I asked if I could have mac and cheese instead of fries, because I saw a kid in line with that and they told me no! Grrr! Mine was your basic ok tasting fries and chicken strips. I traded Craig a chicken strip for a rib, and the ribs were pretty gross and very fatty. The only thing I liked about this meal was that the kids meal came with a shamu plate you could keep!
Craig decided to get the chicken and ribs and this was horrendous!!!! Like I said the ribs were fatty and gross but that wasn’t the worst part.

http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/jj63/vodisney/food%20report%20pics/DisneyWorld2009092.jpg

The chicken was PINK!!!! Craig sliced himself a piece and there it was in all its pink raw chicken glory. It was disgusting!! So we went to complain and the cashier said she could either give us a new piece of chicken or give us a refund. So we said we want a refund and she gave us a refund.... for one piece of chicken!!! She gave us half of what we paid back, so I asked her why she did this and she said that was their policy because he ate the rest of the meal... So this is where i get angry. I asked her to speak to her manager and this man comes over to speak to us and says again its our policy. So I say as loud as I can.. basicly what you are telling me is when you try and sell RAW chicken to someone, which could potentionally make someone so so sick or even kill them, all you do is refund them for the chicken? Which got other costumers noticing. Now please keep in mind, im not a cheap person by any means, I don’t care about another 4 dollars, I just could not believe that this is how they treat customers! So after I said that I think he realized I was super pissed off and was gunna cause a huge scene so he says he will refund me the money. He also then proceeds to tell us that the chicken was not raw but just pink on the inside because they use a smoker to cook their food and it comes out pink. I just gave him a look of disbelief and said yah well thats great for you, maybe you should find a different way of cooking your meat because no one in thier right mind is gunna eat chicken like that and I’m not gunna eat pink chicken of any kind, smoked, fried or whatever that is so unacceptable and this is really so ridiculous and I also let him know I would be telling people all about this as well! Oh and another note... we saw some other people on the way out with the same chicken and none of the ones we saw were pink!

Obviously this place gets a 0/10.

So thats my Seaworld review and story. Btw.. we actually had a great time at Seaworld but if we visit again we will NOT be eating there!

Up next... Cookes of Dublin Snack & PoP Pizza Delivery

[Vallie]

Day 2: Doh Bars and Pizza Dinner

After we got home from Sea World it was pretty early so we lounged around the hotel for a bit and then decided to head out to Downtown Disney. After doing some shopping we stopped by Pleasure Island and went to Cookes of Dublin to get the one snack I was dying to try, the Doh Bar! It took SOOOO long to get this and I was getting really frusterated but in the end it was definitely worth it!!

http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/jj63/vodisney/food%20report%20pics/dohbar.jpg
We both loved it!! I mean really how could you not love a fried chocolate bar? It was crispy on the outside and melty and chocolately on the inside! Yummmmy! 10/10

After DTD we headed back to PoP and decided to get a Pizza for us, which cost us 2 CS credits. Its a great deal! The pizza was very yummy! It tasted the same as the personal ones, but for 2 CS credits you get SO much more pizza and it comes in a cute box! Over dinner we had a very lengthy debate as to which character said which saying on the pizza box :rotfl: For dessert I got cheesecake and Craig got grapes and we shared! They were both very yummy as well! The grapes were very very fresh!

http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/jj63/vodisney/food%20report%20pics/DisneyWorld2009098.jpg

http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/jj63/vodisney/food%20report%20pics/DisneyWorld2009100.jpg
We both gave the pizza 9/10! Keep in mind though if you are staying at POP and get Pizza ROOM service, instead of picking it up at the Food Court they will charge your two TABLE service credits!!!



uP next: Sci Fi Resturant

[WETWHISTLE]

Thanks for the information about using 2 CS for a pizza from the Food Court. I knew that you could get it delivered for 2 TS (Rip off!!!) but didn't know about picking it up!

Day 3 - Lunch at Sci Fi

Craig and I were both very excited for the Sci Fi Resturant. I was especially looking forward to the shrimp pasta, my favourite combonation of food. Mmmm!

We checked in on time, but we still had to wait a while for our table. It was okay though because the AC was a welcome break. As we were waiting I was amazed by the number of people just walking up trying to get a table, whats worse is alot of them had no idea you even had to have reservations for the restaurants. I felt awful for those people because with free dining going on, they probably didn’t have much luck.

So we finially got called to our table, we were the hitchhikers behind a family of four. Now while I think Sci Fi has such a cool theme and atmosphere, both of us were not too fond of the seating. The family in front of us was very nice but with two little girls, one of whom was very cranky, it got somewhat annoying to be in such close quarters. Other then that though, we both really enjoyed the place.

Heres a pic of us in our car.
http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/jj63/vodisney/food%20report%20pics/454.jpg

And one of the restaurant.
http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/jj63/vodisney/food%20report%20pics/449.jpg

Craig got a cherry coke, which made him very excited! And i got a vanilla milkshake which was just to die for!!! Best Milkshake I’ve ever had!!

After drooling over this plate for months I ordered the shrimp pasta of course. Hold the tomatoes please!
http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/jj63/vodisney/food%20report%20pics/452.jpg
It was very very very yummy! The Shrimp were huge!! I loved it!! 9/10!! It
was a HUGE portion! I could only finish half!! But i made sure to eat all my shrimp (and there were ALOT of them!)

Craig got the burger. Sorry I don’t remember the exact name of it.
http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/jj63/vodisney/food%20report%20pics/451.jpg
He said it was delicious and gave it a 8/10! He also added his own touch with our initials in ketchup!! Whatta guy!
http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/jj63/vodisney/food%20report%20pics/453.jpg

Our server wasn’t the greatest. He was ok but nothing more. One thing that somewhat annoyed us was he did not ask us what we wanted for dessert at the beginning of our meal, which was fine we figured we ordered at the end but he never mentioned dessert. He just brought us our the bill and asked us how we wanted to pay the tip. Craig then asked what about dessert? And he kinda seemed annoyed with us and said we never ordered them with our meal.. to which we responded we didn’t know we were supposed to?!
Anyways we did get our desserts! They weren’t very nicely put together as you will see but still very good!

I got the cheesecake
http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/jj63/vodisney/food%20report%20pics/456.jpg
Loved it!!! Best cheesecake I had all trip! 10/10
Craig got the peanut butter chocolate cake
http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/jj63/vodisney/food%20report%20pics/457.jpg
He also gave this dessert a 10/10 and I tried and will agree with this rating! It was so delicious! But very filling!

We enjoyed Sci Fi alot and would recommend it. The best part about this restaurant is that its very quiet! I guess with everyone enjoying the movie clips and all.

uP next... PoP Century Food Court.

[Pooh&OurHunny]

enjoying your reviews. Can't wait to read more. popcorn::

[LMO429]

great tr!

[iluvpluto27]

Really enjoying your reviews. We really like sci-fi and the chocolate peanut butter cake sounds delicious.

[jg121285]

I used to love the Sci Fi Dine-In Theater when I was a kid. I remember the first time they gave me a Sci Fi frisbee. That is definitely one of my priority restaurants on our next vacation.

[auntfrannie]

Thanks for the reviews! It seems odd that the server at Sci Fi would expect you to order your dessert at the beginning of your meal. I don't think I've ever been asked to order like that!

[disneygirlinnj]

omg THANK you for reviewing the pasta at SciFi! :) That's prety much allll my mom will eat there and I was freaking out because no one ever ordered it! It looks yummy!

[coltink]

Does anyone else remember when Sci-Fi had pop corn soup?

We ate at Sci-Fi in 2007 and were disappointed. I wasn't expecting much, we went for the ambiance but I just didn't care for the food. The theming was great and I loved that as well as the awesome air conditioning (except for the fact that I was sitting right under a vent that dripped on me the entire meal). But I wished it had been more 'drive in' food like to go with the theming. Which yes I know means hamburgers (which they had but I don't eat), hot dogs, corn dogs, fries, pop corn, nachos etc. I think I had a turkey sandwich and just didn't care for it.

Sorry to take over the post, but anyway I'm glad you had a good time and enjoyed the food!

[Ciciwoowoo]

I admit that I dislike smoked meats too, because they are pink. Yuck!

Weird, you just might be my food-twin. :goodvibes Those cheddar-and-sour-cream Ruffles are the only potato chips I like, I also won't eat the chunks in salsa, and I've drooled over that pasta dish on the Sci-Fi menu. We've never eaten there, but I'm making a shrimp/feta pasta for dinner!

Yeah, smoked chicken is pink. I've seen warnings on the menus at barbeque restaurants - too bad that place didn't! Of course, there's still a chance that chicken *was* raw. Did it... squelch? Raw chicken is squishy and squelchy, as I unfortunately learned at a chain restaurant called Fuddrucker's :sick:

[DLo]

glad you liked the food at sci fi . we are going next month. sorry your waiter wasn't the best. I think sometimes that an make or break the experience.

[gemmybear83]

Great reviews!

We ate at teh same place in Sea World on our last trip and we got the raw chicken too :scared1: It was totally gross!!

[Sandy321]

I'm glad you reported the shrimp were good, plenty and large - because just looking at the picture I thought - wow, I wouldnt get that - you cant even SEE the shrimp!! :rotfl:

Day 4: Dinner at Pop Century Food Court

Hi guys! Sorry I’ve been MIA! Ive had alot of stuff going on with my new job and everything. Getting back into routine after being off a month is tough!!!
But I’m back now so onto some more reviews!

So for dinner we once again decided to get some food from the PoP Century food court and bring it back to our room. This time we ordered separate meals.

I ordered the chicken penne alfrado. It was freaking AWESOME!
http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/jj63/vodisney/food%20report%20pics/521.jpg
Im a huge pasta person and this was just DELICIOUS! I got some tomato sauce put on top , grabbed a bunch of parmesan cheese and red pepper packets, mixed it all up and thought I had gone to pasta heaven! 9/10!
It would have got a 10/10 but lost a point for chunky tomato sauce!!! its annoying to pick around tomato chunks!!

For dessert I grabbed a fresh cookie from the bakery food area.
http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/jj63/vodisney/food%20report%20pics/519.jpg
It was yummy too! And so soft! I love soft cookies! Im gunna give this a 8/10.

Craig is a nacho guy, he almost always orders nachos when we go out so when he ordered Nachos tonight I was not surprised.
http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/jj63/vodisney/food%20report%20pics/520.jpg
He thought they were pretty good and gave them a 8/10!

He got a cupcake for dessert
http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/jj63/vodisney/food%20report%20pics/518.jpg
It was soo good I kinda wished I had got that instead! He gave it a 9/10 and I tried some and I agree! I heart cupcakes mmmm!

uP next: Yak and Yeti for breakfast AND lunch?!

[Vallie]

enjoying your reviews. Can't wait to read more. popcorn::

great tr!

:goodvibes thank you!

Really enjoying your reviews. We really like sci-fi and the chocolate peanut butter cake sounds delicious.

thank u! it was pretty yummy!

I used to love the Sci Fi Dine-In Theater when I was a kid. I remember the first time they gave me a Sci Fi frisbee. That is definitely one of my priority restaurants on our next vacation.

i want a frisbee! haha we both enjoyed it you should definitly try to check it our next trip!

Thanks for the reviews! It seems odd that the server at Sci Fi would expect you to order your dessert at the beginning of your meal. I don't think I've ever been asked to order like that!

i agree! i just assumed he would ask after we were done!? :confused: but we found later on they actually asked many times at the beginning what we would be having for dessert.

omg THANK you for reviewing the pasta at SciFi! :) That's prety much allll my mom will eat there and I was freaking out because no one ever ordered it! It looks yummy!

hehe no prob! it was pretty delish! she'll enjoy it im sure!

Does anyone else remember when Sci-Fi had pop corn soup?

We ate at Sci-Fi in 2007 and were disappointed. I wasn't expecting much, we went for the ambiance but I just didn't care for the food. The theming was great and I loved that as well as the awesome air conditioning (except for the fact that I was sitting right under a vent that dripped on me the entire meal). But I wished it had been more 'drive in' food like to go with the theming. Which yes I know means hamburgers (which they had but I don't eat), hot dogs, corn dogs, fries, pop corn, nachos etc. I think I had a turkey sandwich and just didn't care for it.

Sorry to take over the post, but anyway I'm glad you had a good time and enjoyed the food!

popcorn soup sounds interesting! how did that taste? sorry you didnt have a great food experiance there!

I admit that I dislike smoked meats too, because they are pink. Yuck!

ugh so gross. i guess maybe it was just smoked but to me and dbf it just looked raw :sick:

haha thats too cute! food twins!! can i come over for dinner?!

maybe it was just smoked but we looked around and it seemed like everyone else's looked cooked?! my DBF works at a resturant though and he said it looked raw! he didnt wanna try it and find out! They should definitly post a warning though if thats the case! I cant imagine most people being ok with eating pink chicken ya know!?

btw - that little girl in your sig is absolutly adorible! omg!!

glad you liked the food at sci fi . we are going next month. sorry your waiter wasn't the best. I think sometimes that an make or break the experience.

it was pretty good! im sure you'll enjoy it the atmosphere is really great! He wasnt the best but he wasnt horrible either so it was ok!

Great reviews!

We ate at teh same place in Sea World on our last trip and we got the raw chicken too :scared1: It was totally gross!!

thank u!! and ugh!! never again!! it was disgusting and the way they handled it wasnt very impressive either!!

I'm glad you reported the shrimp were good, plenty and large - because just looking at the picture I thought - wow, I wouldnt get that - you cant even SEE the shrimp!! :rotfl:

haha no there were lots of shrimp and they were pretty big! I should have taken an overhead pic instead!

:goodvibes no problem! glad you enjoyed it and im sure you will have a great time at sci fi!

[NorweJenNY]

That chicken penne alfredo looked awesome! And adding tomato sauce was just pure genius! :goodvibes

I totally understand the frustration of picking out tomato chunks... it's sauce, not salsa... should be smooth! No chunks!

I don't like chunks of tomato in anything! I hate when I find chunks of tomato on my pizza... and why is it that most restaurants that add tomatoes to salads add diced tomatoes? You can never get them all, and I cringe with every bite! Ugh!

I'll have to see if that dish is available at the All-Star Movies next week... I just now know to beware of chunky tomatoes in tomato sauce...

with salads i always ask for no tomatoes!!!

We should start a I HATE TOMATO club!!! alot of people on here seem to hate them! which makes me feel like less of a weirdo! :dance3: :laughing:

if this dish is available def get it!! its so good esp with the tomato sauce!!

[SheenaXena21]

I HATE TOMATO club

Hahaha...I was worried when I saw the picture of the Alfredo...I was worried they added tomato sauce to it! I don't like chunky sauce! (Smooth, yes. Chunky, no.)

:rotfl: Glad I'm not alone!

We ate dinner at 1900 Park and I have to agree if it wasn't for the characters it would have been a 5/10.

Yes! More me's! But, shouldn't it be more like an "I hate tomato CHUNKS" club? Sauce, when smooth, isn't a problem. And I like ketchup too... that never has chunks in it, does it?

And remember the days of the old figaro fries... bacon, cheese, lettuce, and tomato on fries?!?! What's up with that???

[Disney*Geek]

Can't wait to read more. popcorn:: We are headed to Sci Fi and Y & Y also. Keep it coming... and thanks.

[princess_momma]

oh hi!! I'm also a hater of chunky sauces/salsa. And I thought I was the only one!! Now we can be each others support group! yay!

I love your reviews! The Pop food court was great, wasn't it? :cloud9: Did you ever get the cheese fries? OMG they were my favorite! I loved them!

I wish I had been able to enjoy Sci-Fi more. I didn't really even get any pictures because Landon skipped his morning nap that day and I had to deal with his fussiness instead of enjoy my meal. Oh well...its not like I won't ever go back! ;)

[Vallie]

thats too bad isnt it? because its such a pretty place and the characters are great, but they really do need to work on the food!

Yes! More me's! But, shouldn't it be more like an "I hate tomato CHUNKS" club? Sauce, when smooth, isn't a problem. And I like ketchup too... that never has chunks in it, does it?

And remember the days of the old figaro fries... bacon, cheese, lettuce, and tomato on fries?!?! What's up with that???

haha i guess it is the tomato chunks that are evil!!

and those fries sound good... kinda like taco bell supreme fries!

Can't wait to read more. popcorn:: We are headed to Sci Fi and Y & Y also. Keep it coming... and thanks.

thank u for reading along! Y & Y is coming up next!

Day 5: Yak and Yeti Breakfast and Lunch

http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/jj63/vodisney/food%20report%20pics/559.jpg


O yea... you read that right! We had Y & Y for breakfast! Only at Disney!

So lets start with Breakfast then move onto lunch!

For breakfast we decided to skip the regular (super delish) croissants from PoP Century Food Court and grab something later in the day.

We did however grab a sunny D... and this was one special sunny D!!!

http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/jj63/vodisney/food%20report%20pics/523.jpg
Apparently at Disney World, SunnyD doesn’t expire till 3009!!

Well... we didn’t last very long! Soon after we arrived at AK we were hungry people! So we were just walking by Y & Y and I remembered that you can use a snack credit to get to Egg Rolls. So we decided that that would be a very healthy nutritious Disney breakfast!

http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/jj63/vodisney/food%20report%20pics/561.jpg

http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/jj63/vodisney/food%20report%20pics/562.jpg

http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/jj63/vodisney/food%20report%20pics/565.jpg
mmmmm me stuffin my fach!! yummy!

As you can tell from the above pics.. the Egg rolls were a completely Hit! They were sooo fresh and good. It was egg roll perfection. 10/10 from both of us.

We were going to order Picnic in the Park for lunch but since both of us were blown away by the delicious egg rolls we had had for breakfast we decided to try out Yak and Yeti for a counter service lunch as well.

I ordered the honey chicken and chocolate cake for dessert.

http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/jj63/vodisney/food%20report%20pics/DisneyWorld2009113.jpg

http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/jj63/vodisney/food%20report%20pics/DisneyWorld2009115.jpg

The honey chicken was OK. The chicken and sauce itself were pretty good and I would give that part of it a 7/10. The rice on the other hand was pretty gross. 3/10 for that. I was expecting more of a fried rice like you get at the mandarin but this was just smooshy yucky rice with some random veggie pieces. So needless to say I ate the chicken and that was about it. Luckily the chicken was filling. The chocolate cake was pretty good. 7/10 for that too.

Craig had the Kung Pao beef also with chocolate cake for dessert.

http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/jj63/vodisney/food%20report%20pics/DisneyWorld2009112.jpg

He liked his more then mine. I tried some and i thought the beef was good but still did not like the rice!! He gave this 7/10. He liked his chocolate cake too! 8/10.

uP next... Spirit of Aloha... is it really as horrible as people say!?

But I wished it had been more 'drive in' food like to go with the theming. Which yes I know means hamburgers (which they had but I don't eat), hot dogs, corn dogs, fries, pop corn, nachos etc. I think I had a turkey sandwich and just didn't care for it.

Sorry to take over the post, but anyway I'm glad you had a good time and enjoyed the food!

Years ago that's EXACTLY what they used to serve at Sci Fi! Awesome, fancified "snack bar" food. Enormous, "dressed-up to deserve a higher pricetag" servings of chili dogs, nachos, burgers and shakes and the like. We LOVED IT back then! The atmosphere was so unique and the menu seemed to better fit the mood of the place. The castmembers wore rollerskates like oldtime 50's carhops and gave gave away Sci-Fi glow in the dark frisbees to kids. It was just so neat back then. We were so disappointed when (years ago) they switched over to the "new" more mainstream menu that has a little of this and a little of that but nothing really unique. I can get that at any ol chain restaurant down the street.

They do have a lot in common!! lol thats too funny!! I don't think I ever tried the croissants :confused3 we were only there once for breakfast and I think I got a mediocre omelet. Guess I'll have to go back so I can try a croissant! HAHA darn!

Oh that sounds delicious!! I wish I could've gone back then. I hate how they have standardized everything from food to gift shops with only a couple of unique things. But I must say that I did see ONE waiter at Sci Fi in skates. Maybe its optional now? :confused3

Day 5: Spirit of Aloha Dinner Show

http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/jj63/vodisney/food%20report%20pics/DisneyWorld2009160.jpg

We were kinda worried about going Spirit of Aloha because it recieves so many negative reviews here on the DIS. We wanted to go to something with all you can drink so it was between this and HDDR. I know many people on the disboards are big HDDR fans but after watching a youtube video we decided it was definitly not something we wanted to see (sorry HDDR fans!!)

So we arranged for Cat 3 seating at the 8pm show. We arrived at the Poly and it was still lightly raining so we got our pics taken inside and we also got leid!!

http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/jj63/vodisney/food%20report%20pics/DisneyWorld2009153.jpg http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/jj63/vodisney/food%20report%20pics/DisneyWorld2009154.jpg

We were seated soon enough and even though we had reserved cat 3 seating we still had front row seats!! We were just off to the side, but that was a-ok with us!

http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/jj63/vodisney/food%20report%20pics/DisneyWorld2009168.jpg
our view

The place where they have the show is pretty nice! my only complaint would be the tables are pretty close together!

We were erved Coconut Bread, Salad with Mango type dressing and fresh pineapple. We were also asked what we wanted to drink.

http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/jj63/vodisney/food%20report%20pics/DisneyWorld2009163.jpg

Our waiter was great! very friendly and very fast!! Alocohol was brought to our table all through the night and we were never short on it!! It was great!!

I took my first bite of coconut bread, bracing myself for the awfulness that the dis people told me to expect. I was completely surprised when I tasted the most yummy bread of ALL TIME! It was SOOOOOOOO good!!! We ate almost this whole platter lol We were offered more but we declined, since the main part was coming up next.

http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/jj63/vodisney/food%20report%20pics/DisneyWorld2009173.jpg

http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/jj63/vodisney/food%20report%20pics/DisneyWorld2009170.jpg
craigs plate

The goodness didnt stop at the appitizers. Everything here was wonderful!!! The ribs and chicken were GREAT (and fully coooked!) The rice was tasty and the veggies were done just right!!

Next up was the chocolate volcanoes.

http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/jj63/vodisney/food%20report%20pics/DisneyWorld2009175.jpg

It was like a weird chocolate mouse, and Im not a mousse person but I still ate a bit of it and liked it. Craig REALLY liked his.

Now onto some other thoughts.... I didnt like that there were no drinks I enjoyed drinking. Im a fruity drink kinda girl and they only had beer and wine. I settled for a Rose wine and while it did the job, I wasnt really enjoying it.

Craig is a beer man... really he loves his beer but he was not impressed by the beer here. He said it went warm and flat very quickly and according to his beer expertise it was clearly the bottom of the keg beer.

I tried his beer... and yet again it tasted like beer to me. But he is the beer expert so I took his word on it! Now you should also note that this did not stop him from drinking plenty of the free beer anyhow!

As for the show, yes I agree the first part could use some new ideas. It wasnt nearly as bad as people made it sound though! We enjoyed it and we also liked that there was a break while the food was served so you didnt have to pay complete attention to the show and we could talk to one another

The second part of the show was fab-u-lous!! The dancing was wonderful and of course the fire dancer took the cake!!

After dinner we ended the night by hanging around the Poly on the beach and snuggling in the Hammock. :lovestruc

I definitly will say this though... I can see why many people dont like this if they have children, I dont think its a show that a kid could go to and really enjoy however if you are looking for a romantic fun adult night out this is a great choice!

All in all we both agrees it was our favorite meal of the trip!! 10/10!!

uP next: Lunch at Typhoon Lagoon

:ccat:

BTW - loving your reviews! I've only done the DDP once -- we did the deluxe plan for 4 days. A 5th day of deluxe would have been lethal, but we survived the four and loved every bite (and every new pound of bodyfat we got to take home as a souvenier!)

[princess_momma]

I love your review of the luau!! We almost went there spontaneously but they were booked that night and the lady said they weren't open on the only other night we could (Sunday)! So we did go to HDDR! I want to do the luau next time!! That food looks better, even though it seems to be the same stuff just cooked to fit the theme.

Day 6: Typhoon Tillys and the Snack Shack

We had no plans of going to Typhoon Lagoon today so I hadnt looked into any of the food offerings there, so when our tummies started rumbling we checked out the closest resturant, Typhoon Tillys.

All they had on thier menu was fried goodness, but i was lookign for something a little lighter because number one, I was wearing a bikini and nothing can make you more aware of what you put in your mouth then that, and number two we were at a water park and I didnt want to feel bloated and gross. Craig on the other hand, had no issue with that so he ordered some chicken nuggets, fries and a chocolate chip cookie for dessert.

http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/jj63/vodisney/food%20report%20pics/DisneyWorld2009235.jpg

He really enjoyed his meal and gave it an 8/10.

I headed to see if the snack shack next door had anything yummy and they did!

http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/jj63/vodisney/food%20report%20pics/DisneyWorld2009236.jpg

http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/jj63/vodisney/food%20report%20pics/DisneyWorld2009237.jpg

I got a tuna sandwhich with chips (which i gave to craig) and a pineapple orange smoothie. They both tasted AMAZING. The smoothie was so fresh and refreshing. and the Tuna sandwhich was not heavy at all and was probably the best tuna sandwhich Ive ever had! 10/10 I had a chocolate cake for dessert but didnt eat much of it (but it tasted good!)

On our way out we passed by the little doughnut shack. It smelled so good and I remembered reading a food report on here saying how good they are. So we got a 6 pack and a white chocolate dip.

OMG. Words cannot explain what I would do to have just one of these little pieces of heaven right now. Bottom Line: Get them! However, keep in mind you cannot use DDP to purchase them, but they are worth every penny. 1000000/10!

Day 6 - Dinner at Raglan Roads

http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/jj63/vodisney/food%20report%20pics/663.jpg

Raglan Roads was the meal that Craig himself picked out for us. Being the good ol english boy that he is he just LOVES pubs! So of course he wanted to check out Raglan Roads for some fried greasy yummyness and some ever so important BEER! I'm not a huge pub fan but after seeing the menu I agreed to try!

We started off with some drinks and some soda bread with some oil for dipping. Craig got a Guiness, which he said was very refreshing and quickly ordered some more.

I got a .. yup you guessed it! Malibu and Orange! Both were very good!

The bread and oil was pretty good. The oil was yummy but the bread was pretty dry.

While eating our bread and sippin on drinks we enjoyed some tap dancing followed by live music for the rest of our meal. They were both very entertaining and provided some nice background happenings.

For the main course Craig had the fish and chips.

He ate every last piece and gave it a 10/10. Coming from someone who pretty much HATES fish (except for fish and chips) This is a very high rating!

I ordered the Sheppards Pie.

It was just perfect! The mashed potatoes, the meat and the amazing gravy comined to give this dish a 10/10. If you go here, try this! You wont be disappointed.

For dessert Craig got the bread and butter pudding.

Another 10/10 for this one. I had never tried bread and butter pudding so I didnt want to order one but after trying this I really wished I had ordered it! It was delicious!

I ordered some sort of berry crumble.

It was ok. I didnt enjoy it that much, especially after tasting the amazing dessert Craig got. 5/10 for this one. I ended up just sharing Craigs dessert instead!

Bottom line is if you are planning a DTD night check this place out. Its a very nice lookin pub, the servers are great and the food is wonderful.

uP next: Les Chef de France

Excited for Chefs de France-- our August trips were very similar! I had never stayed onsite/done the dining plan, and DBF had never gone to Disney at all and was very reluctant. Now he loves it and can't wait to go back!!!

I really need to put Raglan Road on my list. We walked past it while at DTD and I mentioned it to my parents & BF, but still haven't eaten there myself!
