That morning, we got up bright and squirrely to check into Coronado Springs.
This of course would be the first day on the DxDP, and as usual, I try out the first credits right there at the resort in order to prevent problems later.
So, we grabbed our refillable mugs and Sweetie had:
Chocolate Chip Muffin. Okay. Standard Disney muffin fare. Not great. Not terrible
I had:
A cinnamon roll. Pretty cold and not tasty at all. I should have stuck with a muffin.
This is the problem with Cafe Rix--there is no seating. Since it is the only grab and go place at CSR, it's a little irritating. We sat over at the neighboring bar, the Rix Lounge. It was okay in the morning, but I would have been uncomfortable being there with my 13 year old daughter any other time.
For Cafe Rix:
Our reviews:
Service: 2--The castmembers just were not friendly or helpful
Atmosphere: 2--way too crowded and no seating. It was uncomfortable.
Food Quality: 2--Standard fare
Value: 1--There are better uses of Snack Credits at Disney
Overall: 1.75 WOAH!
After a disappointing breakfast, a lost KTTW card, and tromping through the Magic Kingdom, we hoped CRT would be better.
We had very late breakfast reservations and as we were finishing, the place was clearing. They, however, did not rush us out. For those of you not familiar, you have your picture taken with Cinderella downstairs, then are called upstairs for your meal. Breakfast is now preplated, whereas it was in the past family style I believe. This was our first trip.
You start off with breads and pastries:
These were better than what we wasted snack credits on at the resort. The biscuits and marmalade were particularly yummy.
I had the lobster and crab crepes
This would have been much, much better if the fish had been fresher. It was sort of fishy in smell, and therefore not great. Not bad, just not great
Sweetie had the All-American:
Sausage, eggs, bacon, and potatoes. She liked it, but was not happy with the lemon on the potatoes. I ate them.
All in all, Breakfast was not great. Not bad, but not great. You definitely come to CRT for the experience, and that's it. I did appreciate that we were not rushed out. Of course, our server was pretty slow, and kept us there longer than we really wanted to be, as well.
Our reviews:
Service: 3--Okay, we waited a long time for our check, which was a bit annoying.
Atmosphere: 4--the only reason this warrants a 4 and not a 5 is because of the better atmosphere we experienced later in the week.
Food Quality: 3--again, just okay
Value: 2--This is an expensive price for a breakfast. Even with the pictures, eating in the castle, and the characters, who were great, $40 is for breakfast is too much and not really great use of 2 TS credits.
Overall: 3
