It was dh, myself and the two teen ds 17 and 15. I always ask everyone to pick one restraunt and we usually only eat one sit down meal a day. We are usually restraunt creatures of habit.
5/24 Dinner - Hollywood and Vine Fantasmic Pkg. I only picked this because I knew there was 1 show that night and with our flight we would be hungry. Our adr was around 4:30. People in line asked, is this a place to eat? Huh? Our server was from Beligium a sweet lady, but a little slow on the drink refills and plate clearing. We all love the corn spoon bread. The rolls were very fresh and all the food was good. I am more of a salad person I think I had the beet salad and buffalo and mozzarella salad and the shrimp. The desserts were really good. The key lime tarts and the mini cheesecakes with cherrys were great. The pineapple cakes were a little on the dry side. I tried one of the kids meatballs, terrible, but our ds liked them. Also the chef only gave me a teeny, tiny piece of meat until I had to ask for more. There was hardly anything else on my plate no less. My dh asked for the whole piece sliced.
5/25 - Lunch - Coral Seas. DS 15 hates seafood so he got the kids pizza with chicken, but he does love the lobster soup and got a kid sized serving and the make your own sundae. Happy with all of it. DS 17 got the soup for the appetizer and the strip steak for the entree. He said it was good. It came with cheesy potatoes and broccolini, a small serving. He finished the whole steak, it wasnt too big a serving for a hungry teen. Dh had the lobster soup also and the blackened catfish with grits. He said it was good but his serving appeared to be small as well. I had the lobster salad, which the server told me while ordering was a small serving, I didnt even ask about it. It was suppose to come with soup and salad. It was small, the soup was served in a ramekin that was less than 3 soup spoons serving worth. The salad was only greens under the lobster salad. The lobster salad itself was very good. DH and I shared the citrus creme brule, it was good but I like the one they had in december, a butterscotch flavor I think.
Dinner - DH and I just had the roasted chicken with mashed potatoes and carrots at Cosmic Rays. It was good. We had the chocolate cake which was very good. He also had a pack of kids apples. They tasted like chemicals.
5/26 Lunch - The Earl of Sandwhich. Wow, was this place crowded. I got a table for dh and I inside. DH got the carribean jerk chicken sandwhich and said it was good. I got the all american with the turkey, cheddar, lettuce, tomatoe and cranberry. He got sides of cole slaw and got me potatoe salad. Some of the potatoes were raw. Yuck. I asked for a non carbonated drink but he said only sodas at the fountain. The only chips they had were baked lays and barbeque I think. The to go section looked really good and very well stocked, dont know what those prices were.
Dinner- Crystal Palace. Our server was o.k. Our location was terrible. Right up against the wall with the mirror behind. It was the walkway were all the characters went by, all the servers used and everyone used to get to the food, talk about major traffic jams. The food was o.k. I like the mediterrainean pasta salad, the corn spoon bread was a little dry. The prime rib was great. I know dh had the mahi mahi and salmon. The desserts were o.k. Nothing too memorable, choc chip cookies, oatmeal cookies, bread pudding etc.
5/27 Akershus Princess Storybook Lunch, just dh and I. O.k. DH loves Norwegian Food. Our table was terrible. Smack in the middle of everything. It didnt even belong there. The manager asked us to move our table a little so the princesses could get by, hello, he is the one who put the table there. Dh was happy with his herring. I like the bread there. For the main course entree, dh had the pork,good but small serving. I had the pasta with grilled chicken, it was o.k. I later got sick from something I ate at this meal. Not fun at all. Love the ligonberry tart on the dessert plate. If you have been to the Garden Grill you will notice the manager is from there. We though he looked familiar.
Dinner - Kona Cafe. Again they actually put us at a table that didnt belong where it was. I think they are really trying to squeeze all the people they can into restraunts. It was right in front of where the servers come out or go in. Bad location. DH had the kona chowder and the terriyaki steak, I had the terriyaki steak too. My mashed potatoes were cold on one spot, ds 15 had the chowder even though he hates seafood, go figure but asked for a double cheeseburger and fries, ds 17 had the turkey medallions. He said it was terrible and dry. It looked totally unappetizing too. No one ate it. I gave him my leftover steak. For dessert dh and I shared the banana creme brule. Great as usual. I cant remember what the ds got.
5/28 Dinner Rainforest Cafe at Animal Kingdom. We were hungry so we all shared the big appetizer platter. DH had something that was $40 with lobster and said it was good., I had the coconut shrimp, DS 17 had some steak and shrimp combo and ds 15 had a wrap with chicken and fries. We skipped dessert. Our server was nice but talked way too much. Almost to the point of annoying.
5/29 Boardwalk Bakery Breakfast - We had cherry danish, croissants, sticky buns (so good no one would share with me,) and crumb loaf. All was good. Ds was happy with his chocolate milk.
Other snacks were frozen bananas (I need the potassium) and a brownie from Restrauntsaurus, and popcorn. The ds had cheesecake at the cheesecake factory at disney quest. In Epcot funnel cake and Kaki-goris, I cant get enough of the rainbow ones, so yummy with honeydew,strawberry and cantelope flavors!!
Also Pickabus at the Dolphin - One ds had the hot wings, with celery sticks and 2 blue cheese. I think there were 9 wings and it was $9.25. Pretty pricey. The other ds had a cold sandwich with turkey and swiss, lettuce and tomatoe and maybe a pickle. That was about $7.50.
Overall I think we spent about $150 a day to $175.
