We just got home 4/4 and I am still experiencing remorse that our trip is over. I read these boards daily for months before our trip so I am chiming in with a brief dining "review."
Our priority was our kids on this trip so we stayed away from finer food they would not have enjoyed and we did not want to travel on the bus system for extensive reservations. So here is where we went.
CSR -
Cafe Rix Quick Service: food ok, long lines, horrible service, great baked goods
Siesta's - Nachos and Burgers were delicious, new menu had fish tacos but we did not get the chance to try them, very slow service
Pepper Market - did not do buffet, hit and miss for food, enjoyed fish tacos, nachos, fajitas...did not like pizza, chicken, or burgers
Maya Grill - good meal, great service, not comparable to what an over $100 meal would be at home but by Disney price and standards a good meal, enjoyed shrimp tacos and beef fajitas....didn't enjoy the margarita flight
Parks -
Via Napoli - maybe the only Disney restaurant we would pay Disney prices for if it was near our home, delicious pizza, great selection for kids, we love this place
Pizza Planet - we were very hungry and it was open, horrible pizza
Counter Service Mexico - enjoyed nachos and guacamole, kids meal was a cheese empanadas and our son took just one bite
Park Snacks - enjoyed popcorn, chocolate covered bananas, smoothies from Auntie Gravities, son had a delicious corn dog from a MK vendor
We also had a lovely meal at Kona Cafe. This was our first time there. We enjoyed fancy drink selections had seared tuna Sandwhich, fish tacos, and I think our DS had a hot dog then we enjoyed the banana chocolate creme brûlée....heaven, a very good meal but not as good as say "Bone Fish Grill"
Best new experience by far was Wolfgang Puck Express at DTD. We ate there our first and last nights and both times it was great, both kids had spaghetti, we also had butter salad, pizzas, and Mac and cheese...all were awesome
I normally do not eat three full meals a day so even with all the walking I gained 4 pounds in 7 days. UGH. My husband and I are convinced most of the weight gain can be attributed to poolside drinks, tortilla chips, and chocolate croissants.
So it is time to hit the gym and get back on that treadmill.
