We just returned this past Saturday and I'm still getting back into the swing of things at work, so I don't have much time but I wanted to post a few quick reviews.
1900 Park Fare - Cinderella's Gala Feast -- A++
This dinner was wonderful! My entire family went for this one and everyone loved it (My parents, dh, me, ds1, dd5, my sister & her husband and her ds1, ds2, and dd7). The food was delicious . . . there wasn't a single thing we tried that we didn't like. The character interaction was great. We saw Cinderella twice, Prince Charming once, and the mice (Suzy & Perla) several times!
Donald's Breakfastosaurus at Animal Kingdom -- A-
The food here was very good and our server was super! He squirted a fake ketchup bottle on the kids and they all got a kick out of that! I rate it an A- only because they took us about 20 minutes late and the character interaction was just so-so. We only saw each character once . . . they came around to each table once and then completely left the room. For what you pay, I think they could afford to hit the tables twice or at least stay out where the kids can see them.
Hollywood & Vine - B
This was ok, but nothing to really brag about. Our server was great, but the food was just ok. They were also running 20-25 minutes late and we had a 5 PM ADR as part of the Fantasmic Dining Package. We ended up not getting out of there until 6:25 and had to run to Oscar's to make it on time for the Fantasmic seating.
Peco's Bills
This was good as usual. I got the Pork BBQ sandwich this time for something different and it was really good. The baked beans were delicious!
Flame Tree BBQ
Yum, yum, yum, need I say more?!?!
Restaurant Akershus in Norway
I can't really give this one a rating because everyone had different opinions here. Dh had the salmon and it was delicious . . . one of the best made salmons I've ever had! My bil and I had the cod and it was good, but different. It was on top of horseradish mashed potatoes and had a seafood medly over top of it, so it just had a lot of different flavors to it. I normally don't like "different" foods and I was surprised I was even giving it a shot, but I did find it to be pretty good in the beginning. All of the flavors mixed did get a bit old after a few bites though. Dsis had the pasta and did not like it at all. Some of the kids got the turkey and cheese rollups and said they were disgusting. Dd got a hot dog and would only take one bit of it saying it just didn't taste right - ?!?! The desserts all went over really well! We devoured them in no time! We did all agree that we won't be back here. The character interaction wasn't very good here. It was the same as Donald's Breakfast. The princesses came through the room and stopped at each table very briefly and then were gone.
That's all I have time for now. I'll try to post some other reviews later today or tomorrow.
