Hello first off I will explain who was in the cast. It was my myself, dd (14), my dd's aunt and her dd (12). I planned this trip for almost a year so off we went from 8/21 through 8/27. We stayed in the Dolphin for the first 5 days and therefore ate a few breakfast's 1 lunch & 1 dinner @ Picabu's. I will say that my dd hated it there and I was not impressed either. The food was very expensive and not alot of variety. It was cafeteria style type of thing. An example of the prices is a small garden salad was like $7.00 and like a previous poster mentioned a breakfast sandwich with potatoes was $9.45 or so 
I did have a fantastic buffalo chicken salad at the fountain one evening and it was soooooo yummy and well worth the $10.00 or so it was.
Ok onto the reviews . . . .
Sunshine Seasons - we ate here twice once for a snack around lunch time and once for breakfast and both times the food was fresh and did not disappoint. My dd had a plain croissant and I had a croissant breakfast sandwich which was sooooo good with bacon, egg & cheese and the other time we had california rolls and they were standard fare. My friend and her dd got muffins which looked good.
Prime Time Cafe - A little history here; I had planned for a year or more to have the yummy pot roast which I had tasted from someone's plate before and I ruined it by having a much too late snack @ Picabu's of nachos and wings and then a Pina Colada @ the bar prior to the dinner and guess what I couldn't eat a thing but a small dish of mashed potatoes
My dd got the salmon which she deemed okay, my friend got the fried chicken but didn't eat the fried part 
her dd got the kids hot dog and both girls loved their shared dessert of smores which I pesonally tasted a tiny little bit of and they were yummy!!
Le Cellier - Well I soooooo wanted to taste that mushroom filet again and I ordered it along with the cheese soup. My dd ordered the filet with cream cheese mashed potatoes and the bbq sauce on the side, my friend ordered the same thing and her dd a hot dog. The soup was good and a bit salty and the pretzel bread was soft and yummy as usual. The filet was tender and good and I ordered it Med Well as did my daughter and although it was good it was not as good as I remembered from 2 years ago. My dd and friend both enjoyed their filets but I tasted theirs and they weren't even as good as before so I don't know what's up with that. Anyway it was still a good meal.
Mama Melrose - We had dinner here one evening and I ordered the Pasta Vodka, my dd and her cuz the chicken parm and my friend had the pepperoni flatbread. I had a salad and my friend and her dd split a salad as well. I was not too crazy for the vodka sauce as it's not what I was used to but I was hungry so I ate most of it anyway and it was not terrible. My dd again did not enjoy her food but she's picky but ate her chicken anyway, my friend and her dd seemed to enjoy their food but I tasted the flatbread and thought it was not at all good. It tasted like cardboard to me. Anyway we ordered the chocolate lava type of dessert and I thought that was very good but of course dd did not like it. Oh yes I ordered 1/2 carafe of Sangria and enjoyed that very much!!
La Cantina Counter Svc - We had not eaten that night and were starved and everyone wanted Mexican food. There were no seats to be had b/c Illuminations was starting so we sat on the steps @ the Mexican pavillion. My dd was majorly upset b/c the quesidillas were 2 small halves that looked like the pb&j uncrustables
I got the combination platter and it was so dark I don't know what I ate but I liked the beans and everything else is a blur as I stuffed it down as we were over tired and starved. My friend got the same thing and her dd the same as mine and I guess they were okay with theirs but we did not enjoy this food at all.
Casey's - We all got hot dogs and fries our first day in the MK and they were good and hit the spot.
Cosmic Ray's - dd and I got cheeseburgers and fries the last night in MK and they were good standard burgers. Nothing spectacular but good.
Ohana's Lilo & Stitch Breakfast - I had so looked forward to this breakfast and we waited like 1/2 hour to be seated and Lilo had passed our table and stitch was there but my friend had to go get a camera and missed him as we forgot ours (we were going to typhoon that day) Anyway, the food was the bread which was okay, fruit which was fruit and then the skillet and my dd did not like the eggs but she's rather picky and she didn't like the bacon/sausage either or the potatoes but to be honest I didn't think they were the usual good disney breakfast I have had everywhere in the past. The breakfast somehow tasted stale and I didn't even really enjoy the Mickey waffles I so looked forward to. I wished we went to Kona's for Macadamia pancakes instead and I was supposed to go but didn't make it the next day. Oh well live and learn.
To be honest this trip the food was subpar to our other trips but we had so much fun it didn't matter. Oh yeah I did have some snacks along the way.
Egg Rolls in China - very good and fresh
Potstickers & white rice in China - potstickers okay rice just rice.
Bellinni in Italy - yum
Choc Mousse in Italy - good and cold
Choc Croissant in France - Very good and not too rich.
Margarita in Mexico - the best thing they offer I believe
Choc Chip Ice Cream Bar from Cart - good.
Hope you enjoyed my little report and if you have any questions ask away. I enjoy reading everyone's reports myself and will definitely be choosing some new spots for my next trip.
