I decided to go back and read your older reviews since I just started following your last trip report I've missed out on a lot. I've only read your first trip report but I found it very fun and full of the details that you are known for. I really enjoyed reading about how you came up with your screen name and I found this quite intresting..

Final thoughts:

On our second visit to WDW Carola and I agreed that we had a lot of really great food.

Caution, this is going to be a bit of long and winded back story, so preoceed to the next paragraph for the real final thoughts!

I love to eat well when on vacation and was always a bit apprehensive of food at WDW. After my first trip to a Disney park, Disneyland during a stay with my aunt in California, in 1992 I really wanted to go and see Disneyland Paris that had opened that year, but really did not have the money for it as I was just starting university. However, my sister one year got me as a christmas present a huge guide book for Disneyland Paris (then still called EuroDisney), it was the Unofficial Guide for Disneyland Paris (I think there was only ever one edition published) in a German translation. In the chapter on food it starts as follows: During the ten years that we have been reporting on Disney's American parks, we did not have many good things to say about the quality of the food offered there. Of course there are exceptions, but in general Disney's restaurants have to make an immense effort to reach at least the level of quality offered by McDonald's (my translation back into English from German). They then go on to say how great the food at DLP is. I finally got to go to DLP in 1995, 1997 and 2003 and never had great food there. The food was not bad, but I never found anything really good (besides my love for Cowboy Cookout Barbeque). So I was really afraid before our trip in 2004 that the food would be really bad! That was before I had discovered the disboards and dining reviews and such, so I only went with what I could get from reading guide books. Wow, was I relieved after our first meal at Boma during that trip: the restaurant was really as great as it had sounded before!

So knowing both parks better today then a couple of years ago how do they compare? I can't believe they said the food was worse then McDonald's

Hope your having a great time!!!!

Joining in and hoping to be in WDW during this same time period. A friend is turning 40, I'll be turning 45 and a third friend just turned 40. We are hoping to have another mom's only trip the 17th -22nd. October is a lovely time at WDW. The Food and Wine festival is awesome and the Halloween/Fall decorations are lovely. Weather is just beautiful, too. I have spent 3 trips to Disney in October. We have experienced record high temps in the 90s, but our last mom's only trip in Oct 2009 was cooler- 70s during the day and much cooler in the evenings. But much less humidity. Hoping and praying for some nice discounts to come out this summer for this time period.

Hi, just gonna throw my 2 cents in about food in DLP.Really not great the last time I was there. QS burgers and pizzas overpriced and under taste. QS in WDW is far superior IMHO
