Hello to all you Disney Diners and Readers out there!

This is my first ever Dining Review and I just can't wait to(pardon the pun), sink my teeth into it! The trip starts August 20 to the 28 with a split stay at OKW and BLT and of course Deluxe DP. It's our first official trip as a DVC Member and we are sooo excited!

We also have a HUGE family reunion for this trip full of tasty and yummy food ressies to fill us up with lots of memories.

Since we do have an efficiency kitchen with the villas, I am taking advantage of easy to do breakfasts. :wizard:

So excited to get there already!!!

The grading system:

I figured to do all the chefs from disney(or affiliated) movies! No more than one chef per movie. Some of them aren't terribly related to the grade but I will do my best!

Remy - A+ This little dude just knows exactly how to cook! Everything is perfect from the start to the finish, including service, food, drinks, amount of time, dessert, ambiance.

Tony & Joe - B+ Is it the Ritz? No. We're in a back alley eating spaghetti. But are they trying really hard to create that magic? Yes. They got me so into the ambiance I'm rolling a meatball to my sweetheart with my nose! This grade would be given, though the food and restaurant isn't top notch, it's very close and the staff is making it better.

Swedish Chef - C+ I can't understand a word he's saying?! He keeps flailing around a chicken and a butchers knife and to be quite honest, I'm a little scared! :( Though I'm sure he means well, it's just not looking good(especially for the chicken!). Everything is just so-so. Nothing too spectacular other than the chicken making his escape.

Chef Louis - D+ He is supposed to be one of the best cooks, but he has some, ahem, anger management issues where even the food he cooks tries to run away! Nothing seems to be going right and it shows in every aspect. The only thing keeping this afloat and not a fail would be one specific area of expertise. Otherwise, it would go out the door as most of it's meals try to do.

Fauna - F I'm sorry Fauna, you are cute and all but when it comes to cooking, KEEP HER OUT OF THE KITCHEN!! When she is paired with her sisters who cannot do anything without magic, everything is ruined and nothing could save it unless there was a little Disney magic there. Sadly, there was none in this instance.
 


I'm in! Our trips overlap a bit ... looking forward to reading your reveiws when we get back!

Congrats on your engagement!
 
Congrats!!! Cant wait for your reviews, take lots of pics for us!
 
I'm following along. Congrats and it looks like you've got a great line-up. It's my dream to do DxDP one day! You and your DF are ADORABLE (and has anyone told you that you resemble Anna Paquin? I saw your photo and thought "Sookie Stackhouse goes Disney")!

After reading so many bad reviews of Hollywood & Vine, I decided to change our reservation to Hollywood Brown Derby. I am keeping it a surprise from DF so he will be surprised when he gets there! :thumbsup2

Leaving tomorrow, so excited!:dance3:
