Better late than never...Reviews

[Erikarate]

Normally I post upon return from our trips...sorry.

We went for MVMCP from Dec 19 - 23, staying at Wilderness Lodge Villas. It was the four of us (me, DH, DD9, DS7) and my BIL and DN5 joined us too (sister and new baby at home in CT).

I will not do an in-depth review as I usually do, however here are the places I can remember that we ate:

Fri., Dec 19, 2003
Dinner, Whispering Canyon

We ordered the usual, all-you-can eat skillet. Very good as usual. Pulled pork still the fave. Only complaint was we were seated way in the back away from the action (i.e. stick-pony rides) but managed to get the men to participate in the "My Little Buttercup group song/dance...very funny. Also tried for a first the banana dustbowl for dessert...YUM!

Overall rating: 8, good food, lot's of fun

Sat., Dec 20, 2003
Lunch, Brown Derby

A flawless meal as usual here. DH and I had Cobb Salads. I had coconut shrimp as appetizer, he had clams I think. BIL had Mushroom ravioli for an appetizer and I think the tuna cobb. Yum!!! Great service too.

Overall rating: 9 1/2


Dinner, 1900 Park Fare

A very very disappointing experience. Buffet food, mediocre, but about what I expected...we were going more for Cinderella for my niece. The service was just plain BAD. Our table was located in the back room and the chairs were so smashed together that I couldn't get into my seat ( it was wedged between the table and a pillar coming out from the wall). Our waitress was completely unsympathetic about this...we complained to management about this and the lack of service in general and got one of our meals deleted from the check. Character interaction rushed...

Overall rating: 5, would never return.

Sun. Dec 21, 2003
Dinner, Califonia Grill

My BIL's parents and brother drove up from Jupiter, FL for the day. All 9 of us went to Calif. Grill. What can I say about this place...DH and I come here all the time and adore it. We've only had one meal that was a "very good" versus "excellent". I had sushi (Calif. roll), salad w/ green goddess dressing, and the sesame crusted tuna with Fragrant Wasabi Broth and Tempura Seaweed Roll...one of the best dishes I've ever had. Sorry, but I don't remember what everyone else got. Service was great and so was the view!

Overall rating:9 1/2

Monday, Dec 22, 2003
Dinner, Prime Time Cafe

We love this place and come here often. I had the fried chicken and DH had the pot roast. Both were excellent for comfort foods. They came with green beens and mashed. DH and DS split a Dad's super sundae, I had a PB&J shake (my fave) and DD had a build-your-own sundae. Atmosphere and service fun as usual...

Overall rating: 8 1/2


We also had smaller meals at:

Tusker House
Ghiradelli
Wolfgang Puck Express
BoardWalk Bakery

...post any questions about these...

If you only went one day later to 1900 Park Fare, I bet you would of liked it. We went on December 21 and loved it, probaly one of the top three meals we had.

But, I think our taste differ because we did not enjoy the California Grill and would not be returning here for a while.

What did you have at Wolfgang Puck Express and which one did you dine at? Thanks for the fantastic reviews.

Thank you for the reviews! No need to say sorry for the delay. On all previous trips I always posted reviews. On our last WDW trip last summer I decided to do them on Word pad first so I could post all at one time and never finished so never posted. Now THAT'S bad!

We hate 1900 Park Fare. We think that the food here is disgusting. I went two years ago and promised never to go again. But, my girls wanted to see Cinderella so we figured we'd give it another chance. Never again. Even my kids hated the food. This was the only disappointment of our whole trip. Don't do it..,,,,

We went to the Wolfgang Puck at the Marketplace versus the one Westside. We had breakfast and did some last minute xmas shopping before heading home.

DH and I both had omelettes, can't remember the kind, but just that they were very good. DD had a bagel with cream cheese, and DS had french toast which was made of sliced bagels and deep fried coated with cornflakes and cinnamon...WOW!

I highly recommend it.

We've also had lunch there in the past and it was equally good.

Oh, also they changed the breakfast at Tusker House. They did not have the egg sandwich breakfast, only scrambled eggs which were very runny, YUCK. This was a big disappointment as we normally love Tusker House.
