8 days of Dlx Dining means 20 ADRs and lots of food *New 4/21 Tutto Italia

[janloz]

Oh sucky! I'm sorry that you got sick. I hope that you felt better the next day after a nice rest.

I sure hope you enjoyed BOMA for breakfast as much as we did!

Oh yuck! Getting sick on vacation is the worst! I hope the rest of your trip went better.

Thanks for the kind words, thankfully it was just an overnight thing and I was better the next morning and really enjoyed Boma breakfast. I thought it was food poisioning from the shrimp at CR but I have read here on Dis that a lot of people got the Norwalk virus at Disney which is the same symptoms. Luckily, I didn't pass it on to any of my family. But I was sad to miss a great meal at Teppan Edo and especially the CP but gives me another reason to go back to Disney.

Oh Man! That is too bad you got sick, but I am soooo glad you didnt pass it to the kids!

I love the pic with the blurr of a chef and the steam rising! YUMMY YUMMY!

Well you will just have to try it again next time, hee hee

I am REALLY suprised they seated you with additional people. I thought since you have 8 already that would be a full table.

Boma??? Hmmmm.......... I cant wait!

It was good that no one else got sick and thankfully I got over it quickly. I am trying everything in the book to get back to Disney before 2010, I'll keep you update.

thanks. Being sick at Disney was not in the plans for sure.

Working on DH for another trip.....

The rest of the group decided not to attend the CP since they didn't want to stay out late or wait in the line to be seated. ...

What they didn't go??? you are kidding right. I would have killed them. What a thing to miss... I love CP...

 

[janloz]

Unfortunately, NO, I am not kidding. By this point, I just wanted to sit and cry since I felt terrible and no one seemed to care (yes, some self pity) and knew my mom really wanted to see the show. She did buy the CD or DVD of it but it is not the same. The next day when I told them what they missed, they all said "why didn't you tell us that was what it was, we would have gone?" I wanted to scream but this was just the way the trip was going plus I was just thankful to feel better and go to Boma.

Boma Breakfast 12/2 8:20am After not feeling well the night before, I woke up about 7am and was surprised that I was feeling much better. Obviously, the kids were very tired since the were out until almost 10:30pm the night before so I wasn't sure we would make the Boma ADR. Once awake, the kids decided that they really wanted to go to Boma especially after seeing the DR from MickeyNicki http://disboards.com/showpost.php?p=24203867&postcount=121 (I think it was the pot of maple sryup ) so we quickly got showered and called MIL/FIL and told them to meet us at the bus. Our plan was to take bus from POP to AK and then transfer to AKL bus. When we got on the bus, I asked the CM what the easiest way to AKL would be and she agreed with my plan. Then as we pulled away from POP, she said that we could stay on the bus since she would take us directly to AKL, some much need for us. We arrived about 8:15am and then had to find Boma, I knew it was downstairs but the stairs were closed so we had to find and elevator. We checked in and were told it would be a few minutes. The CM gave Mark another Bday Button and brought him a very nice card signed by the staff. We were seated at the first table next to the railing as you walk into the restaurant which was convenient to get to the buffet but since there were several large groups in the same section, it was difficult to get in/out. Our CM was Vivian and she was wonderful. She took our drink orders and sent us off to get our food.

Mark, Sarah & I are big breakfast eaters everyday. I was brought up eating a good breakfast and thankfully the kids have taken after me in that respect. Dave is not. But everyone really enjoyed the buffet since there was something for everyone. Since I wasn't too sure how food would sit with me, I tried Strawberry/Banana yogurt (not my favorite), waffle, some watermelon, strawberries, melon, and a few muffins. All were very fresh and tasty. The kids tried a little bit of everything and loved it all. They said this was their favorite breakfast of the trip. At the end of the meal, Vivian brought this out for Mark:

The infamous Zebra Domes , we practically licked it clean. (Correction, these are not Zebra Domes, just chocolate cake.)

The total for the meal $75.90 with OOP of $10.97 for tip but we used 4 TS credits. I did leave an extra $5 for Vivian's great service.

When we were leaving Dave took some pics in the lobby

Up next....do we have lunch in AK?

Happy New Year!!

 

[MickeyNicki]

So glad you guys loved Boma, I would love to eat there right now!!

...but those are not the zebra domes those are the little dark chocolate covered hard cakes that they gave me for my birthday too.

Zebra domes are little round cakes filled with a Kahlua mousse and covered with white chocolate...

Next time you go you can get them at Mara

 

[onelilspark]

I like the little hidden Mickey they made with the blueberries. Verrrrrry subtle

 

[mybabesuz]

I'm glad you made it to Boma . I loved how easy it was to get eggs made to order.
And there definitely is something for everyone there.

Thanks for the heads up, I told DS is was Zebra Domes and he was ok with that. We will have to go back and try them for sure.

They were so good and fresh.

We all loved it, I think my FIL was the only one to get made to order eggs, there really wasn't anyone that I noticed taking orders. Next time.

You just go up to the area where the scrambled eggs were, kind of in the middle,
and the Chef was there taking egg orders. I think they make omelets too.
They cook them right there in front of you.
They are supposed to do it at Cape May too but I never saw them making them there.
I guess I probably wouldn't have know at Boma either if there weren't other people getting them.

More DR reviews shortly, I am trying to get my TR caught up. thanks for sticking with me....

 

[msce2]

Thank you for the great reviews!

 

[29apr00]

Great reviews! Teppa Endo looks like a lot of fun. Sorry they stuffed you all at a little table and that you weren't feeling well!!

Thanks for the WCC review too! We are doing that next time. The Skillet is just too good a value to pass up!

I'm sure the put us with the other group since they seemed overbooked that night.

I will also be reviewing WCC for dinner shortly too. It is one of our favorites.

Ok, finally back to Dining Reviews.

We decided to skip Flame Tree since no one but me was into it so we made our way back to the bus stop and waiting for the bus to POP. This was probably the longest wait that we had of the trip. And then we finally made it to POP and went to the food court for lunch.

It wasn't that busy since it was about 2:30pm so we did the crazy walk around trying to figure out what everyone wanted. Sarah decided that she wanted pasta with butter (surprised ) which came with carrots and a cookie. Mark wanted the Double cheeseburger with fries and Dave got the same thing. Once I got Sarah her pasta, Dave was heading to the check out so I sent her with him. Now, I don't know if it was because I was still not feeling great but I forgot that with the dining plan the should get dessert too. So when they got the cashier and didn't have them, Dave wouldn't let them go back and get one. So you can imagine the great mood they were in when I got to the table. I finally decided on Turkey Ciabatta and the vegetable soup. Big mistake. The soup was very good but the sandwich was horrible, I took one bite and didn't finish it. The guys both really liked the burgers and fries as did Sarah her noodles.

So, the total for lunch was $32 but we used 4 TS credits. We should have just paid OOP but we didn't.

I don't think we would eat at the food court again for lunch since the food isn't as good as the TS. We do enjoy POP for breakfast.

This was the evening that we split into 3 groups for dinner. Mom & Sarah went to 1900 Park Fare, Dave & I went to Narcoossees and MIL/FIL/Mark went to Chef Mickeys. We all took the bus to MK and then took monorail to Contempory and dropped them off then on to GF for our ADRs. Here are some pics of GF all dressed up for Christmas.

and the Gingerbread house

1900 Park Fare Cinderella's Gala Feast My mom and Sarah had 6:05pm ADR When you exit the monorail, you are on the second floor of GF so you have to take the elevator or stairs to main floor for 1900PF. We went downstairs and checked in and was told they were running 35-45 minutes late and given a pager. We saw that they had Photopass photographer at the tree so we waited in line for Sarah to get some done. We then left for our ADR at 6:40pm and they still had not been buzzed for their ADR. Mom said they finally got in about 7pm since on the hour the do the "birthday celebration."

They were seated in the middle of the main room near the buffet and they really enjoyed the buffet. Mom loved the strawberry soup. Sarah really liked the kids buffet area and had the chicken tenders, pasta and vegetables. I had arranged for a special cake for Sarah here since I knew she would LOVES the white chocolate castle cake plus I had read that if you were celebrating bday at PF they gave you a free crown. I did confirm when I checked in that the special order cake was there since I have read that they are not always deliverd but Mom said it came with no problem. So tonight was her unbirthday night.

Since Sarah already had dessert on the buffet, they boxed it for her to take back to the room. Sarah decided that night that she didn't want to wear her Cinderella dress again so she wore a pretty sweater set with the Castle in gold glitter on it. Mom said that Cinderella made several comments how pretty it was and how different she looked from the other girls. Here are the pics with the characters:

Background, Mom said that Cinderella came by several times and asked if Prince Charming had been by and he hadn't so when Cindy saw this, she went over and got PC and brought him to the table.

Total cost for mom & Sarah: $47.91 plus tip (not sure what she left) but used two TS credits. We had CM put Sarah's dining credits on her KTTK card so mom could use it. Also, I paid for the Castle Cake with my CC prior to dining which was $25.
