Just got back this weekend. I'll do some quick food reviews for those that are interested:
1. Rose & Crown (A+++) - WONDERFUL as always. Service/Food both excellent!
2. Wolfgang Puck Express (C+) - Food was just "OK." Don't see what all the hype was about. It was "good"... but not worth a trip to DTD for just the food. If you happen to be at DTD anyway...maybe then it's worth it. JMHO.
3. Hoop Dee Doo (A+++) - FANTASTIC meal/service/show. MMMMMM!
4. Hollywood & Vine Playhouse Disney Lunch (B) - Food just OK. Characters/dancing GREAT!
5. Mama Melrose (C-) - Food, not great. Service, not great. Not worth the trip.
6. Boma (Bkfst) (B) - Food, good. But typical breakfast food mostly. We made a special trip to AKL for Boma. Wouldn't make a special trip again. If staying at AKL, I'd go again, because it WAS good, but not worth a special trip. Maybe Lunch/Dinner is different. Although the Frunch drink was REALLY great.
7. LTT (B+) - Food/Service, really good.
8. Earl of Sandwich (A) - GREAT SANDWICHES!!
9. Turf Club (D) - Food, Just "ok." Service, HORRIFIC! Waiter was either VERY new or VERY bad. Came to our table with mounds of sweat dripping off his face... literally. He actually was wiping his sweat with his hands while taking our order. Normally, I wouldn't have noticed something trivial like that, but it was literally dripping off his face onto our tablecloth. Sorry - it was gross. He then messes up my drink order not once, but twice. My only option was to bring it to the bar myself and correct the order. (For the record - it wasn't a difficult drink - it was a Malibu Bay breeze.) He said he had no idea what that was and asked if it was on the "specials" board? I told him it was just a regular bay breeze made with malibu rum. He looked confused and brought me a regular bay breeze... TWICE. I brought to bartender myself and he said that waiter kept asking for a regular bay breeze. He apologized and gave me a malibu bay breeze. 2nd time... he did it AGAIN. I brought it back myself again b/c waiter disappeared for 15 minutes. Took my order. I asked for the Filet cooked Medium Well. He corrected me and said that I shouldn't order a Filet medium well, that I wanted it MEDIUM. I said "No, I like it cooked through and just a tiny bit pink." He said "OK, but you'll ruin your steak." I got it back and it was BLEEDING red. It was probably rare or medium rare. I know he didn't write medium. I couldn't even eat it. Even my husband who likes things rare, wouldn't eat it. I didn't send it back.... I just wanted to get out at that point. Waiter came back and never even mentioned that I didn't touch my steak, just took it away not commenting that I didn't eat it. We asked our waiter for bread 4 times. Literally.. 4 times. He brought it out between the entree and the dessert. Who does that? Honestly, it was the worst service I've ever had. We were on the DDP and I ordered a kids meal for my 6 year old. I also asked for an additional "plate" for my 2 year old so we could all share with him. When I got the bill, he charged me 2 kids credits, one for my 6 yo meal and one for my 2 yo PLATE?!? I asked him to correct and he told me he couldn't - he had to charge me. After trying to politely explain that I refused to use a kids TS credit for my infant's PLATE, I asked for a manager, who quickly apologized and corrected the issue. Sorry - it was just all out BAD BAD BAD service.
BTW - My stay started in 2007 and ended in 2008 but I had 2007 DDP the whole time... the wait staff at EVERY restaurant was SO confused with the new plan.
Any specific questions???? I'm happy to answer!
