It has been suggested to me, once or twice, okay a few more times that I should post some of my Off to Neverland Trip Report Bogo's over here. What is a Bogo? Why it is a 'Buy one get on for free'. I am writing a TR and the readers get BOGO dining reports...My way of highlighting some of the more memorable food experiences on our our last trip to the World!
Some will have pictures, some will not...I did my very best to take them, but sometimes my family was pure hungry & it got in the way...
Background:
We stayed at the POP for 2 nights, then moved to BWV for 7 more.
Some of the Eateries to come:
POP Food Court pg 1
Kona Cafe pg 1
Casey's...pg 1
LeCellier...pg 2
Askerhaus pg2
Chef Mickey's...pg 3
Crystal Palace...pg 5
Hollywood & Vine~PlayHouse Disney Lunch...pg 5
Ohana...pg 6
Boarwalk Bakery...
Main Street Bakery...pg 1
Chefs de France...pg 6
Earl of a Sandwhich...pg 1
Many World Showcase Yummo's
Sunshine Seasons...pg 2
Eaters:
Myself...Self diagnosed Disney freak...I know quite a few friends who just may say the same...
DH...The wallet, LOVED to EAT! Will try just about everything!
DS5...Lil'l Diz Man, as I call him...Sweet guy, who is a mom-diagnosed carboholic...give him anything white and he will gobble it up...sugar tops the list
DD2...Tink...trouble...but will eat just about anything her dad does!
Pop Food Court:
As far as food courts go, I give this one a B+.
Good: Clean, Open, good selection of food.
The not so goods: The food court is too close to the gift shop, needs more seating, maybe the gift shop could be seating? Other than that I really dont like standing in line to get my food at one area, then needing to go stand in line again somewhere else to get the rest of what a family of 4 would like to eat. By the time you pay, all of the food you picked up first is cold and yuck!
I ordered the Moms night out meal. Which is a daily changing spin off of a TV dinner. Tonights TV dinner was bbq beef or pork (cant remember) on a bun (decent), with coleslaw (ok), beans (Blah), corn bread (yummo) and a over soggy chunk of corn (do I need to say it?).
A few days later...
We ate breakfast. We ordered a BF Platter and a French Toast Platter and split it between the 4 of us...plenty of food! My major gripe was that by the time we got through the food line and payed, our food was on the verge of coldness... My advice, if you are planning to eat there during your trip, is eat early or later that most would! If you can split up adn order...send your DH to one line for the BF platers and you hit the line for the waffles (each taking a kid or two).
Kona Cafe (in the Poly) for breakfast:
For those who have not eaten at the KONA CAFÉ for breakfast, I suggest you make it a priority for your next Trip! Get that GO THERE! This meal would be OOP, since we are not yet on DDP (that starts tomorrow). We decided we would do the sharing thing, because well, because we could! We ordered drum roll please YES THE TONGA TOAST and the Pineapple Macadamia Pancakes with a side of eggs for TINK. For bevies my DH ordered the Kona Coffee Press, I ordered the house special blend of Hawaiian juices (forget the name, but had several juices including but not limited to Guava juice). Lill Diz Man got chocolate milk and Tink got the white version. All in all the food was YUMMERS and I mean YUMMERS!
Here is the low down on the grub: (We devoured our food before I could take pics sorry for that.)
Tonga Toast: Thick cut of bread (not sure the kind), cut in the middle and stuffed with sliced bananas, then dipped in some kind of yummo batter, fried and fully coated in cinnamon and sugar. A few calories...not to many though whos counting? Mickey?
Our rating = B+
Although yummy, it was very sweet. Sweet like a mini doughnut from the state fair, sweet. So sweet, no syrup needed, sweet. Lill Diz Man LOVED IT! So much that, dh and I got 1-2 bites and he finished the rest.
Pineapple Macadamia Pancakes: Rich pancakes with a small amount of crushed macadamia nuts. Served with pineapple butter, which melts all over the pancakes. Or was it opposite- pineapple in the pancakes and nuts in the butter? What ever it was it was gone fast!
Our Rating = A+
These very rich, yum, yum pancakes were from heaven, literally they melt in your mouth. Dh & I could easily share 1 serving (with giving a bit to the kiddos). MMMMMMmmmmmm.
Kona Pressed Coffee:
Rating = B
It is good. Okay, so people swear by this stuff, I know! Well my dh is a coffee snob. Ya, they gotta have a snob for everything. He would be it, for coffee. Dh uses a coffee press everyday and loves dark roasts. He felt it was good. Just not great. Next to the resort stuff, it was fine better. Nuff said!
Misc.
I really enjoyed my juice blend and would order it again. The service was great! As you enter the restaurant, they ask you if you have any food allergies. I thought that was thoughtful Next thing I know, snoopy me watched as the table next to us received a visit from the chef. Seems the momma of the group had food allergies, so the Chef came out to help create a meal that she could eat without issues. That is great service!

photos of food. Now I want something sweet!
May we please have seconds on your great review? 
I thought to myself that maybe he ran out of paper...should I borrow him some? I never imagined that he would then load up my order on it. Sorry another-OT Alert: This Momma is a recycler…A BIG recycler. I am the lady on the block who has the ¼ filled garb container and the recycling container (that is larger than the garbage container) filled to the brim and over flowing. Let’s just say that it is One of my big OCD to do my part in saving our planet things (amongst many others). This proves to be a sticky point on all of my trips to the world…recycling that is. 
The food
well the food left us feeling
still hungry. Not because there portion sizes arent of American Super Size proportion? It was mostly because the meatloaf concoction I ordered was like warm, wet cat food and the Ribs my DH got were ¾ fat, 1/8 sauce & 1/8 meat. 
I do have to say that we chalked the poor Ribs to a poor cut of meat
we will leave it at that and hope that was the answer. The meatloaf thingy
I have no excuse for
sorry.
I remember back to Economics 101. My first college class with 500+ students, all but 2 slept each day
I was not one of them. Supply and Demand, the Supply of such princesss is far out weighed by the demand of the little girls (and boys) who want a picture with them
just one
a touch, a smile, a hello, a hug. Anything, just to be within 1 foot of a beautiful princess!
