No photos, sorry to say as I forgot my digital camera in the car!!! We stayed at Pop Century, arriving at the hotel around 4:40pm Thursday, 2/1. My reviews are for the following:
1900 Park Faire for dinner
Hollywood & Vine for breakfast (character)
Boma for dinner
Norway Restaurant for lunch (can't remember the name but it was the Princess lunch)
Cinderella's Royal Table for dinner
1900 Park - Arrived a few minutes early and they were able to seat us immediately. The Fairy Godmother was in the lobby area so we took photos with her. We were seating around the corner from the buffet. The characters (mice and Cinderella) were further away so I figured we'd need to wait a little bit. My little ones had noodles from the buffet. DH had pork, prime rib, and mashed potatos. I had some shrimp asparagus pasta alfredo, some pizza from the kids buffet and some of the potatos. The food was good although I wish there had been a bit more variety. But I am picky so maybe it was just me!! For dessert there were cookies, brownies and ice cream with toppings. I loved the ice cream as did my 3 year old. My 1 year old ate a brownie. DH had ice cream too. Prince Charming came by and was very nice, he spent a few minutes with my 3 year old. The mice had come by earlier for a short visit. We were completely done by the time Cinderella finally came over. She wasn't at the table long. I had told them upon arriving that we were on the meal plan but we were given a check in the end that I paid. If you want the details, read on but I warn you its a bit icky......................................................................................................................................................................ok, halfway thru the meal a little boy threw up right behind our table. Our table was the only one in its position so no other table was next to vomit, just us. It took 10 minutes before someone came over and put a table cloth over it. 10-15 more minutes before they came to clean it up. So for close to 25 minutes I smelled vomit. They never offed to move us!! I am pg so it my sense of smell is even better then usual (and I have a really good sense). So as its being cleaned I now am smelling amonia/bleach. My DH could not even sit in his seat or his chair would be in it and I also moved my 1 year old who was on that side, so 4 of us were crammed as close to the opposite side as possible. After it was cleaned we watched them clean the table the kid was sitting at. The guy took the napkins the family had used to wipe the table off. EWWWW! GERMS!! Finally someone came over and said they would take 20% off the bill. My dh was still livid and didn't think it was enough but he didn't say anything. I decided to just pay for the meal and book a breakfast for the following day with the unused table service. So all in all, the food was decent but our experience was totally altered by this incident.
Hollywood and Vine with JoJo and Little Einsteins
I booked this the night before and was able to get a 9:30am reservation. We even arrived early and were seated right away. The characters were walking around and my kids were pretty excited. We got juice and headed for the buffet. We had eggs, Mickey Waffles, mini muffins, sausage, hashbrowns and more and it was all DELICIOUS!!!! The atmosphere was fantastic. Music played the whole time, the characters would stop to dance. They all came by (JoJo, Goliath, June, and the one with glasses - can't remember his name). We got photos and the girls LOVED it, all the music and moving about was perfect for them. Almost made me happy our previous dinner went the way it did as we would not have booked this otherwise!! I highly recommend if you have young ones!
Boma for dinner
LOVED the AK Lodge - had never been so we arrived early to check it out. We decided our next stay is there, I'm starting to save my $$$ now!! Anyway, we checked in and were given a pager that went off about 10 minutes later. We had a seat by the window. The waiter was very pleasant. He took our drink order and then we headed to the buffet. DH had prime rib, pork and a few other things I cannot recall. My girls had mac and cheese. I had a coconut type soup that was really good. I had some rice with some type of seasoning and I am blank on what else I ate!! The desserts included tiny little pastries with banana flavors, flourless chocolate cake, strawberry tarts, and a banana pecan thing that seemed more like a platain and cookies. I liked trying the different flavors and liked the atmosphere of this place. It was PACKED.
Norway Restaurant - lunch
We didn't have an ADR for this but I just walked up and asked and they were able to seat us (yay). I did this for my girls because honestly, I don't eat fish and my dh doesn't like the type of food served either. He was a grump about eating there and didn't touch his entree (he did have salad and bread). Upon seating you choose from the buffet and pick entree's. We both picked grilled chicekn with pasta (as I mentioned above he didn't touch it) My 3 year old and I however loved it. The pasta was tortellini with a pesto alfredo sauce and the chicken was simply grilled. It was really good! It came with summer veggies too!! The buffet had pasta, cold cuts and a few strange things. My girls had cold cuts and pasta : ) We met ALL the princesses (Belle, Jasmine, Sleeping Beauty and Cinderella). Sleeping Beauty was the photo op prior to sitting and we bought the package (5 photos, 1 big and 4 4'7s). Dessert was a tray that included a cheesecake, a chocolate mousse and a pudding type dessert with stawberries. It all tasted good to me!!! Our waitress was nice too (Mona).
One more to go, need to rest my fingers for a second.........
