Great reports! I am getting so hungry! I try not to look at the "food porn" until after I have eaten and here I am stuffed with my own food and longing for what you had to eat!
I don't think your family actually was that picky. So far, no hysterics over having to eat something they didn't want! That's a good thing -- you must have made good choices ... except for maybe Y&Y where the EVIL DUCKS lurked. They bothered us there too ... and bad me threw a little rice down when we left. It was raining a bit and they looked sad!
For some reason DH and I get put in goofy corners and odd spots also -- we must look like trouble too ... I hope that improved for you! It looks like you had a fun time!
We ventured into the Magic Kingdom and you would have thought that I forgot to bring a camera or something! I have hardly any photos at all.
For lunch, we went to Cosmic Rays...this place is great, there are so many choices in the three different Bays that everyone was able to find something they wanted.
I figured I'd try out the Cheese Steak Sandwich with fries, sis got the rotisserie chicken and both niece and nephew had cheese burgers. The cheese steak was not my favorite thing...it basically fell apart as soon as I tried to pick it up. Kelly really liked the chicken and was laughing when she came back to the table as she had green beans on her plate. Most of the veggie sides we've had at WDW have had green beans...it's a family amusement to see them again. The kids ate their cheeseburgers and didn't say anything good or bad about them.
For Dinner we went to Crystal Palace. After checking in, we were called to be seated about 20 minutes later...the kids weren't starving so it didn't bother us too much.
After this meal, we've decided not to return to Crystal Palace again. It was a mess. I had to avoid all the food on the floor like it was a mine field! Our server took 15 minutes to come to our table to take our drink orders and I noticed that there was a HUGE pile of dirty dishes right next to our table on a ledge in the planter. This, I discovered was where our server was piling dirty plates whenever she came to remove them. After there were about 15 plates there, she finally took them away.
Jayden had his traditional buffet dinner of corn and mac & cheese. I can't even remember what I ate because we just tried to get out of there as soon as possible.
The table next to us and a well dressed family with the mother in heals sat down. I watched the mother take her napkin to have to wipe down the bottom of her shoes from the food she had stepped on just from walking in the front door.
I agree about CP, our last dinner there was our LAST dinner there. The noise level, the terrible service, the horrible food....well it just isnt worth going there anymore.
Now breakfast I like, if I can get an 8:05 am ressie I am thrilled! The restaurant is still very quiet and the food is very good.
