Dining reviews: July 11-15

Artist Point (dinner): We stayed at WL so we ate here the first night (no PS). The salad was good and the dessert was delicious (cheesecake, I think). The steak was pretty good, not great (I live in the Midwest where we have great steak restaurants, so I admit I am spoiled). The service was very good and the atmosphere was very pleasant. Great place for kids, they were very accomodating. Food: B Atmosphere and service: A

Crystal Palace (lunch): The kids loved meeting the characters so we had a great time. I thought there was a strange selection of food, there was nothing that I would have chosen myself from a menu. I am not a big fan of pasta salads and the like. The desserts were fabulous though, especially the Apple Pie. Food: B (but A for desserts) Atmosphere and service: A

Ohana's (dinner): The turkey and steak skewers were good, but the sauces are what made them delicious. I loved the ginger and peanut sauces. My favorite was the fried rice. This was my favorite restaurant of the trip. We had a great view of Wishes while eating. A magical evening. Food: A Atmosphere and service: A

Hoop De Due Revue: Excellent, excellent, excellent! We had the best time, and it was better than all of the shows on our Disney cruise. The food was plain but good (fried chicken, beans, corn). My kids would not eat it though, but they gave them hot dogs and fries. Do not miss this show! A+++++

Whispering Canyon Cafe (lunch): I was surprised by how much I liked the food here. I knew the atmosphere would be fun, but the burgers, chili and nachos were delicious. Best of all was the apple pie dessert with vanilla ice cream. It was the best dessert of the week. The atmosphere was a lot of fun too. Not too over the top, just right. One of my faves. Food: A Service and atmosphere: A

Spoodles: The menu selection was disappointing to me. I thought there would be more pasta selections. I had the filet which was okay. The flat breads also were just okay. Not that impressed. Food: C Service and atmosphere: C

Feel free to ask questions! Overall had a great time and great eating!

Thanks for the reviews!
I went to Spoodle last month for the first time and I, too, was unimpressed.

Thanks for your terrific reviews! We are trying 'OHana's for the first time next month. What time was your PS and what time was Wishes?

TIA!

Thanks for the reviews.
We went to Spoodles some trips back (when it just opened) and haven't been back since--like you, we found it to be a "C".

afcgirl - Looks like we were at WL at the same time. We too loved Whispering Canyon. I wasn't so sure how my DH would like it but was quite surprised. He laughed the entire time (as all of us did). They picked on him quite a bit. Made him wear a hat that said Big Daddy!

Glad you enjoyed your trip!

Our original Ohana's reservation was at 7:15 but we had to cancel because we were running late from the parks. I was very disappointed so we called around 8:30 to see if we could still get in. The said sure, so we got there around 9:00. It worked out great because Wishes began towards the end of the meal and my ds(5) loved it. Unfortunately, my ds(3) was sound asleep on the chair by that point!

I think Wishes began sometime between 9:30 and 10:00.
