I’ve grouped these two together, because if you are holding meal vouchers, both are viable options when you are in the MK.
Pecos Bill – we were happy with PB in the past. The burgers seemed good, the fixin’s bar was cool, and the brownie / ice cream dessert was good enough. This year, the burgers were rated “slightly better than BK” by DS16. Fries were soggy. No one used / cared about the fixin’s bar and the lone dessert option was a chocolate cream pie (which only DS47 will eat). We determined this restaurant was no longer “meal voucher-worthy”, and if we return to PB, it will be on a cash basis to fill some short term hunger need. Without a viable dessert in the menu, you cannot recoup your meal voucher dollars. The cashier, for what it is worth, was outstandingly courteous and efficient. VERY efficient. Efficient-like-me.
Cosmic Ray – let’s just say up front that the dessert option here is a Hagan-Daz ice cream bar ($3.50). Everyone in my party likes this dessert. Everyone likes chicken – or burgers – or chicken ceasar salad – many more choices than at PB. Nobody cares about fixin’s. Case closed. This is not the absolute, killer-best menu-dollar to voucher-dollar ratio, but it is the best option at the MK, if you are there for the day anyway. I don’t have to make a killing on my meal vouchers (although that is fun). I just have to realize at least 20% savings. “Breaking even’” is not good enough, since Connections and Disney are making interest off my money until I spend the voucher. This place will do nicely, for convenience.
