Anyone Eaten at ASMu Lately?

[jsmla]

We decided to add two days to our January trip but, since they are on Marathon weekend, we had to switch from Pop to ASMu. We usually eat TS combined with a lot of in-room meals out of our fridge with things I bring from home or pick up on a grocery stop. This time I have a bit of $$ coming to us from our Disney Rewards card and since the DDE is good at the value food courts we were planning on trying them. We prefer to eat our late meal after we get back to the resort so we can just relax for the evening.

I just took a look at the menu for Intermission and everything looks so incredibly heavy! Has this been your experience? I'm kind of picky about avoiding heavy stuff especially burgers/fries/chicken strips/pizza and there doesn't seem to be a whole lot else, particularly for a week-long stay. Are there other options available that aren't listed on allears or should I plan on a big grocery stop?

We're on a serious budget (going to Paris in May ) so we won't be able to eat TS very often. I'm already planning on bringing DD's dorm fridge for breakfast things and drinks. Do I need to stock up on other stuff if I don't want to eat Chicken Ceasar Salad all week?

In case it helps, it's only me with the problem. Hubby is positively giddy at the prospect of a week of burgers, fries and pizza.

This is more of a bump than an answer, but here goes..

I try to eat well, but it was hard at ASMu. That Cesar Salad with chicken was really good though. And I got my husband to split the chicken with penne pasta and that worked out well. I think the menu is pretty accurate and maybe a grocery stop would be a good idea. Good luck!

we ate there last month.
One night we had the chicken with penne alfredo, and we liked it a lot. The salad it comes with wasn't my thing, but I think that was because of the dresiing that I didn't like.

Another night, we had an order of breadsticks to go and picknicked in our bed with that and some cheese we had bought at a grocery store (an dyoghurt, and cake and Krispy Kremes and... oh, I loved it!)

They also have a grab-and-go in their foodcourt with sandwiches, salads, cakes, ...

Thanks! Looks like a grocery stop for me. I just wish they had a larger veggie selection like Pop!

We ate there four weeks ago. All-in-all, it wasn't that bad, although I wasn't all that interested in the bland breakfasts offered. The penne was really nice, as were the salads, and surprisingly the burger was actually something that I ate all of. The fries left a bit to be desired, but if you put enough ketchup on anything, it makes it taste really nice.

If you're in to it, you can get the cut up celery and carrots in the refrigerator case. Cut up fruit also. I don't recall a lot of hot veggies though.
