This trip consisted of 6 adults and a 14month old.

Me - 56 - adventurous foodie
DH - 57 - Prefers beef and anything fried
DS - 26 - Adventurous foodie
DSF - 26 - Semi adventurous but small appetite
DD - 25 -Semi adventurous
DDF - 25 - Adventurous foodie - chef
DGS - 14 months - he'll eat most anything

SATURDAY:
Lunch: PO-R food court: Make your own salad, fish & fries, beef & bleu cheese on chibata with chips, and 2 burgers & Fries
Salad was excellent - just the right size, Beef on Chibata(sp) bread was excellent as were the chips, Fish & Burgers & fries were all OK.
Supper: Kona Cafe: We love this restaurant.
Appetizers: Crab Cakes - very good; Wings - very tasty; California Roll - excellent; Kona salad - good.
Entrees: Pomegranate Pork Chop - Excellent. Shrimp & Scallops - excellent.
Coconut crusted chicken & salad - tasty. Teryiaki Strip steak - absolutely delicious.
Desserts: Banana creme brulee, fondu, Kona Kone, cheesecake. Of course it was all perfect. It's dessert!!! Service was very good. We were not rushed.

SUNDAY - MK:
Lunch: 3 @ Casey's Corner - a favorite and 3 at Pecos Bills for Bacon Double burgers and a taco salad. A very adequate lunch, and yes, there is still cheese sauce on the toppings bar!!
Supper: Tony's Town Square - I had read many mixed reviews, but we ended up thoroughly enjoying our meals here: Appetizers: Crab salad on Crostini - tons of crab with a light dressing(not mayo type) on crisp crostini -loved it; Caesar Salad - just OK, Crispy Calamari - very good, Ministrone - very good, salad - OK. Entrees: 2 seafood Diavlo pasta's, 2 strip steaks, 1 Chicken Parm and 1 Spinach gnocchi - All entrees were very good and well prepared. Desserts were: gelato, lemon Walnut cake (a little dry, but very tasty), icecream bomb, cheesecake. We all agreed that the food was well prepared and tasty. Will definately stop there again. Service was excellent. Server was Dirk. He was attentive to our needs and when one dessert was sent out incorrectly he quickly replaced it with the correct one.

MONDAY - EPCOT:
Lunch: LeCellier - Appetizers: 4 cheddar soup, 1 mussels, 1 onion soup. Entrees: 3 Filet with Mushroom Risoto, 1 Prime Rib Sandwich, 1 Grilled Chicken Sandwich, 1 steak burger and a side of Mac & cheese. Drinks: Sour apple Freeze & Choc Raspberry Shake were a big hit.
Desserts: Creme Brulee, Cheesecake, Chocolate cake. The only tiny dissapointment was that last time we ate here - 2 years ago the chocolate cake came with a little pitcher of the anglaise(sp) sauce. This time it was just a little swirl on the plate, but the cake was still good. The only other slight dissapointment was the roll for the burger was an english muffin type thing that DD's DF didn't care for. Other than that we were very happy with the taste and presentation of the meal. Service was very acceptable.
Supper: La Cantina at Mexico (a tradition). Food was tasty and plentiful. Nothing outstanding, but nothing bad either.
FYI: The Gray Goose Slushies at the kiosk in France are to die for. Try them.

TUESDAY:
Lunch was "on the fly" at various places. DD had a grilled chicken sandwich at PO-R food court that she said did not taste good at all. But other than that there were no lunch complaints.
Supper: 4 of us ate at Whispering Canyon Cafe and had the skillet. The salad was very good, the rest of the meal tasted good and was plentiful. No complaints.
Desserts were: 3 apple caramel Pie which was pretty good, and a Banana Dustbowl which was very good.
Service was very attentive.
DD and her DF opted for Wolfgang Puck Cafe. They sat at the counter where they make the flat breads and DF being a chef, hit it off with WP's chefs. They had: Spinach Dip appetizer, Macadamia Crusted Chicken and Bacon wrapped meatloaf, with a sample of pumpkin ravioli and the smoked salmon flatbread. They both raved about how good the meal was. It was one of their best dining experiences.

WEDNESDAY:
Lunch: 3 of us ate at Cookes of Dublin. We really enjoyed the food here. 2 fish & Chips and one of the variety platter. DD had the Dough Bah for her dessert and loved it. The rest ate at various other spots with no complaints.

Supper: BOMA: We all tried a huge variety of food. The soups were very good. Although we all liked the food for the most part, we agreed it was something we may try again, but not outstanding enough to make it a "must have" on every trip.
It was fun trying things we normally wouldn't have a chance to taste. Some things were liked some weren't. But that is all a matter of personal choice.

THURSDAY:
Breakfast: Boatwrights. Food was in huge portions. 2 had omlets that could have easily fed 2 people each. 2 had strawberries & cream (yum) and toast and 2 had breakfast platters. Food was good and well prepared. Service was "spotty". Waiter seemed a bit confused, but got everything correct though.

If you have any specific questions, please feel free to ask.
 
Thanks for your reviews! We plan on hitting a few of these places in just three weeks.:thumbsup2
 
I can't wait for our trip! Thanks for your reviews, they're making me really hungry!
 
great reviews - i also remember the little pitcher of sauce that came on the side of the chocolate cake at le cellier - cutbacks, huh?!
