Dining Reviews From An Alien Family- April 27-May12(Toy Story Pizza Planet added)

[SunnieRN]

Thank you for the tip about Chef Mickeys and the feeling of separation from the experience by being in the other area.
I really appreciate your views and I'm sorry your entire party was disappointed by the experience.
Looking forward to more!!

Thanks for reading and saying hello- sorry I haven't been here for a few days- I had company-

Next Up
-Hoop De Doo- give yourself lots of time to get here- we drove but still had to take a bus from parking lot into campground to the hall where it takes place- we got there about half and hour early- we checked in then the kids played in a field and we chatted with others waiting till it was time to go in- our tables were pre-assigned and printed on our tickets- they rang the big bell and in we went- we were shown to our table- we were tier 2 with the dining plan and we sat at the back at one of the raised tables- it was excellent seating- better than many on the floor and closer- we were first brought a salad which was wonderful – all 4 of us enjoyed that- the kids had milk – I had sangria (or one sip and then got a diet coke) and dh had a free beer. We also were brought a slab of cornbread which was 7/10 for freshness)- it was always yummy but always varied on the freshness scale depending upon restaurant. We were then brought a pail of fried chicken (7/10), (ribs 8.5/10- good flavour, nicely cooked, good sauce)), cowboy beans (2/10) and garlic mashed potatoes (8/10)- my dd ate mostly potatoes, my ds ate couple bites of chicken and potatoes, dh and I had some ribs, a piece of chicken and potatoes- we got seconds on ribs and potatoes but didn’t end up eating much of them- for dessert we had strawberry shortcake which we all enjoyed- 8/10- it was a good meal- I am going to give it an 8/10 even with the bad beans- and as for entertainment and service I am going to give it a 9.5/10 – it was a ton of fun and a very memorable evening- being at the back was nice for the exit too as we were the first out, and first on bus back to parking lot

TBC,Jen

Really enjoying your reviews, thanks for sharing. We had a similar experience in the Pepper Market and wouldn't go back. It was bad enough for two of us, I wouldn't like to negotiate it with kids as well.

AS Movies- this was not a great experience for us- we ordered one bacon double cheeseburger platter, one chicken nugget and fries, one bowl chile and a kids hamburger meal- they give us the first three meals and then proceed to throw a burger on the grill for our son while we stand there waiting with the food on our tray- I was stunned- 4-5 minutes go by- I hand them our food back and ask them to please dish us up hot food when my sons burger was done as it was now all cold. It just so happened at the cash the manager was there and I told him what happened- he just kind of sighed and said that he had told them to wait to serve the other food as the kids burgers were always made fresh- my dd enjoyed the chile- dh and I didn’t like it at all- burger and nuggets were good-once again I was glad that we all ordered from the same counter- overall 7/10

Glad to hear that hoop-de-doo was a hit with your family! I think the ribs would have been the most enjoyable to me also! My grandson loves chicken so for us I think it would work well!
Looking forward to more!

I can't wait to read about your Boma experience.

Hoop-de-doo sounds great - I'm glad you had a good experience there. We have always found the value food courts to be good - lots of variety - but agree that they are not very sensible when ti comes to making sure the food you get is fresh and hot.

Looking forward to reading more

Toy Story Pizza Planet-

this was the worst meal of the trip- hands down- I knew going into it that the pizza wasn’t great but I had no idea how very bad it was- we had 2 pepperoni and salad combos, 1 veggie and salad combo and one greek type salad- the pizza reminded me of a craft project- they looked good but oh my word they tasted just like flour and water mixed- blech- we couldn’t eat them at all- the salads were ok- very basic and only 2 choices for dressing- ranch and greek I think- the greek type salad looked good- we gave it away to our friend later that night. My kids were also a bit disappointed how little it looked like the real pizza planet- I thought it was ok but didn’t have the vision of the movie's restaurant in my head- all in all-I would NEVER go back

TBC, Jen (ps- thanks to all those who are following along )

Wow, too bad that pizza planet wasn't good. A greek salad sounds yummy, but it's hard when other things are not so good.
Hope you have better luck on your other meals!!
