It has been almost a week since we have been back so I should post some reviews! I'll start with breakfast. Sometimes we eat breakfast in our room so I don't have a lot of them.
Crystal Palace We usually eat here about 8:10, but this year I had a 10:30 ADR so we could take advantage of extra magic hour. I will be going back to 8:10 on a non early day. We were not seated until 11, and I had checked in at 10:15. It was our only real wait of the trip. Something went wrong with the check in. Once we were inside my DH complained, and we were given a free Fastpass so at least they made amends. As always, the food was very good. Everything on the buffet was hot and fresh. They kept a line open with breakfast foods. I always like the fritatta but still do not care for the breakfast lasagna. I keep trying it because it gets such good reviews, but it is too sweet for me. My kids love the Pooh character waffles. The characters all came around and did a good job interacting with my kids. There was no parade this year, but maybe that was because we were there at the end of breakfast/beginning of lunch. (On a side note, I don't know how to change my signature, but I will have my DH update the picture. The one year old, who would be J, would not cooperate with Piglet so I will have to have a different character!)
Cinderella's Royal Table This was the first year I tried to get this, and I got it with no trouble at the 120 day mark. In fact, there were 2 empty tables! In a nutshell, it is definitely not worth the money. HOWEVER, my DD 4 was in heaven. I did enjoy the castle atmosphere, and our service was fine. Sleeping Beauty, Snow White, the Fairy Godmother, and Belle did a good job interacting with the guests. I was not too impressed with Cinderella in the lobby. She hardly said a thing, and it was more about getting everyone posed for the picture. The food was average. The sausage and bacon were good, but the eggs were not. The potatoes and danish thing were okay. The magic wands and swords you are given could not cost much more than a dollar. Normally, this would not bother me, but for the price you pay for this, I expected something a little better!
Whispering Canyon My husband and I had the skillet. Delicious! I love the waffles! Actually I liked everything except the gravy. My mom was with us at this meal and had an omelet. She said it was good. She also thought the skillet was the only good deal she saw at Disney!
(My DH makes it worth the price, plus they let our one year old eat off of it for free.) My kids had pancakes and enjoyed them. The antics were fun, and my mom enjoyed watching everything going on. My one year tried to participate in the pony races, but he never got the hang of it and used the horse like a sweeper. We never made it to dinner here, but we stayed at the WL and the restaurant was always whooping and hollering even at 10 at night. A fun place for sure!!
Roaring Forks - I never went here, but my DH would bring things to supplement our in room cereal. The muffins were very good - especially the chocolate chip. The pancakes were also good. I did not care for the croissant egg sandwich ( I think it was the cheese I didn't like), but my DH did like it. He was never gone long so it must run smoothly.
I will post lunch and dinner reviews later. We have some pictures, but I will need my DH to do those!
