So I was in Disneyworld March 10th though the 16th and there was plenty of food and drink to be had! And as it was my 21st birthday celebration...well, that was exciting because I got to order all those yummy looking drinks I'd always admired :teeth:

Unfortunately, I am new at this whole dining report/taking pictures of your food thing and there were a few meals I completely forgot to get photos of. BUT, I will share what I have and my opinions on where/what we ate and drank. Now on with the show!

Day 1

We didn't do anything fancy for breakfast this day...actually any day. We're not huge breakfast eaters. We did have one character breakfast planned at DAK (Donald's Breakfastasaus) but ended up not making it. Anyway, most of the days we just had something quick and light at the hotel (Shades of Green). Day 1 was no exception and we stopped at the Express Cafe for coffee, pastries, and breakfast crossaints.

We were at Magic Kingdom this day and for lunch we decided on Cosmic Ray's over in Tomorrowland. This is where that whole "newbie food picture taker" thing comes in. I didn't remember until halfway through my cheeseburger to snap a picture of it. But here it is anyway, half eaten. My sincerest apologies!

It was pretty good for, you know, a counter service cheeseburger. Fresh and warm...and the fries were pretty good too. Not that I could really taste them as I always douse my fries in that honey mustard sauce they so thoughtfully provide at the toppings bar :teeth:

So later that evening we headed over the the Poly for our dinner reservation at Ohana's. Here are the courses:

Salad and fried wontons with dipping sauces to start with:

It had some kind of sweet lime dressing and it was VERY good. I had about 3 servings of it. I like me some salad!

The wontons were pretty good...I liked the peanut sauce the best. The other two were some kind of red pepper one and a garlic tasting one. Like the kind you dip bread in at the Italian places. Know what I'm talking about? Well that's what it tasted like to me.

Here are the sticky wings and scalloped potatoes:
HPIM0486.jpg

The potatoes were delish but the sticky wings were a bit too, uh, sticky...for my liking. I really despise getting messy at dinner. I know it's weird! But I will admit they had a nice flavor to them.

In this shot you can see the shrimp and veggies:

Shrimp was good and had a kick to it. Veggies were okay...could have had more flavor though.

Here you can see the beef and the pork. The beef was VERY good, IMO. Cooked very nicely. The pork was alright. Didn't get pictures of the turkey or sausage because I didn't try them.

And finally...the most heavenly, delicious, dessert EVER. I present to you, the bread pudding with bananas foster sauce. Sounds simple but sweet baby Jesus that is one awesome dessert. I'd pay for Ohana's for the dessert alone!

And here's a picture of me drinking my passion fruit Mai Tai (I think that's what it was called)...just cause I've always wanted a Mai Tai :teeth:

I plan on getting day two posted tomorrow. It will include a review and pictures from lunch at Nine Dragons and a review of Captain Cook's at the Polynesian. Hope you enjoy! :flower3:
 
Awesome pics so far... I jst have to squint and they look fine! j/k lol...
 

Fun! We are doing Ohana for our upcoming trip so I loved the review~

Where all did you dine? So far a great report! Thanks :)
 
Ohana has fried wontons???? Fantastic! I had no idea. They used to have AMAZING ones at the Lotus Blossom in Epcot, but they changed their menu. :(
 
Okay, here's day two like I promised. Thanks for the replies!

Day Two

Breakfast on this day was at Sunshine Seasons at The Land. Dad had the breakfast platter and he said it was pretty good:

My mom, sister and I had the bacon, egg, and cheese crossaint (mine minus the bacon). It was alright. The cheese wasn't melted at all though:

Lunch was at Nine Dragons which was a spur of the moment decision. We didn't have an ADR but walked in and were seated immediately.

This was a VERY good meal. I was impressed by the quality of food and think it's way better than what Japan has to offer.

I had the honey sesame chicken which came with steamed rice:

This was so yummy! The chicken had an awesome flavor to it. The steamed rice was steamed rice...can't really go wrong with that. I add a lot of soy sauce to it though.

My mom, dad, and sister all had the fried rice bowl which was ginormous! It came with a lot of rice and none of them could finish it. I ate a little bit of my sisters and thought it was really good. And my mom is really picky with fried rice and even she liked it a lot. Here is the rice bowl:

And some kind of wonton soup that my sister ordered as an appetizer:

A few hours later we snacked a bit in France. My mom and I had these really awesome drinks from there. The one I got was a grey goose lemon citron slush and the one mom got was a grand marnier orange slush. Both were good but I thought the lemon one was better. Mom liked hers better because she said it tasted like a dreamsicle. Well, an alcoholic dreamsicle anyway ;)

After we finished our drinks we walked over to the bakery since we were all craving something sweet. (Well me, mom, and sis anyway...dad had gone back to the hotel because he hadn't been feeling well all morning.) My mom and I shared a Napoleon and my sister had a chocolate something. I think it's a crepe? I'm probably wrong, I can never remember the names of all the desserts they offer there. Both were tasty though! My mom especially liked the pastry part of the Napoleon because it was light, flaky, and not too sweet. The custard part was pretty sweet though.

Later that evening we had an ADR for The Coral Reef. But since dad wasn't feeling up to it we cancelled and got some food to go from Capt. Cooks at The Polynesian. (Which is a short walk from SOG). This was a night I completely forgot to get pictures of the food. But I know we all had the pizza flatbread. Dad and I had the pepperoni, sister had the cheese, and mom had the Hawaiian. We all thought they were really good but I did think they were a bit greasy. They were still good though :)

Okay so tomorrow I'll post day three with a review of The Backlot Express and pictures and a review of dinner at The Brown Derby. Thanks for reading!

Yup, they sure do. They were pretty good with the sauce but otherwise I thought they just tasted like chips. I liked the menu at Lotus Blossom but it was closed while we were there! They were refurbishing it.
 
Lovin' your report so far. Thanks for posting your thoughts and pictures!! Can't wait to read the rest.
 
The salad from Ohana is delish! I make it at home on occasion and I love it.

Oh, and "ginormous" is one of my favorite words, too! :rotfl:

That salad was awesome! Where did you find the recipe for the dressing? I'd love to have it :thumbsup2

And yes, ginormous is a crazy awesome word :teeth:

Unfortunately, I forgot to get food pics at Capt. Cooks, Backlot, and Whispering Canyon. But I will be giving a review on them and what we ate there. Hope you tune in!
 
Really enjoying your reviews so far. Congratulations on turning 21 :)

By the way, the chocolate thing your sister had, from the picture, looks like an Eclair :thumbsup2
 
Thanks so much for posting your review! :thumbsup2 I've been wanting to see some pics of the "new" menu items at Ohana's!!! That dessert looks awesome!

Glad you were able to take advantage of your 21st Birthday & partake in some adult beverages! I love seeing drink pics! They all look yummy!

That French Pastry is an Eclair. They are delicious! I can't wait to hear more. I'm hoping you enjoyed Brown Derby & Flying Fish as much as we did.
