This was a Mother/Daughter trip. We flew into Orlando on April 11, 2021, and flew out on April 18th. Although it was pretty hot, we lucked out on not getting any rain (Yay!)
I'm a vegetarian (NOT vegan) and I'm typically a picky eater. My mom is not a vegetarian so I'll also give her opinions as well, if I can remember them. We usually ate quick service breakfast and lunch and then we did a dining reservation at night.
Day 1 (Flew in)
-since the weather was so awful in Orlando, our flight got delayed and then cancelled and we didn't get into Orlando until around 8 pm. Our luggage didn't make it to us until the next morning (but that's another story ). We stayed at the Swan Hotel, so we decided to get a quick bite to eat for dinner at The Fountain (located in the Dolphin Hotel). I got the grilled cheese sandwich with fries, which was pretty good (I mean you can't really go wrong with a grilled cheese. I was dissapointed they didn't have tomato soup, but oh well.) I also got a mint chip shake, which was delicious, but once again you can't really go wrong with a mint chip shake. My mom got the Buffalo Chicken Grilled Cheese and she said it was the best grilled cheese she's ever eaten!
-Day 2 (Hollywood Studios)
Breakfast
-since we're diamond medallion members at Marriot, we got a free voucher for breakfast each morning. This would either get us a continental breakfast at Garden Grove (so choice of pastry, and choice of fruit, oatmeal or yogurt, and coffee or juice). You could also do a quick service breakfast. At quick service breakfast locations (like java), you could spend up to $20 on anything.
-We ate at Garden Grove the first morning since we planned on taking our time getting to the park after we got our luggage so late and the day before was a disaster. I got a blueberry muffin (tasty although a little dry), an orange juice, and fresh fruit. All standard breakfast food, nothing to complain about. The waiter also brought us each an extra bowl of oatmeal (no cost), that came with brown sugar and walnuts. Huge bowl but kind of plain tasting.
Lunch
-For lunch, we mobile ordered at Docking Bay 7. I got the Felucian Kefta and Hummus Garden Spread, which I was disappointed in. Like I said above, I'm kind of a picky eater and I wasn't impressed even though I was really looking forward to trying it since I love hummus. There was some flavor that they put in the hummus and "meatballs" that I really didn't like. Definitely a miss for me. My mom ordered the Endorian Fried Chicken Tip Yip. She wasn't impressed either, although she ate all her food. The Batuu-bon cake, though, was delicious! Definitely my favorite thing I ate there. I'm not a huge coffee fan, but the coffee taste in the mousse was perfectly flavored and delicious! I would definitely get it again.
-I mobile ordered a drink from Ronto Roasters called the Tatooine Sunset. It's unsweetened tea and lemonade with melon and blueberry. Pretty tasty although a little sweet.
Dinner
-We stayed at the park until closing, so we just ordered food to go from IL Mulino (at the Swan Hotel) and ate it in our room.
-I got the kids pasta alfredo. A nice portion for a kids item, and pretty tasty, although nothing exceptional. My mom got the kids pepperoni pizza which she said was good. We also got a Ricotta Cheesecake. Cheesecake is my absolute favorite dessert so I was really looking forward to this, but it wasn't very good. The texture (because of the ricotta) was definitely different and there wasn't any crust. Pretty bland flavor. Even though it came with some whipped cream and a few berries, it needed something else like chocolate sauce or strawberry syrup.
