Just back, here's where we ate:
All Star Music food court I had a cheesesteak sub with fries and found this to be excellent. They cooked the steak from frozen, unlike Cosmic Ray's where it is pre-cooked and kept together with the cheese until they scoop it onto the bun. DH had a side of chili a few nights as a snack and really enjoyed it. A side of chili is only $2 and looked fairly filling. I also tried the chicken quesadilla and did not enjoy it. I found the chicken had a strange flavour and was a bit fatty. You also have to get the fries with the quesadilla, or at least you have to pay for them. The cashier will not separate the cost. 7.5/10
Wofgang Puck Cafe We ate here twice. The first time we raced to be there before 5pm to get the DC discount only to be told it was only good until 4pm. The DC site says 5pm but I did not feel like arguing over $6. We found the hostess at this restaurant had quite an attitude. Our server was nice though. We shared the smoked salmon pizza and the spring roll trio. The pizza was half burned and the spring rolls were definitely not as good as last year. We returned before the end of the trip because I really wanted a good smoked salmon pizza from WPC! We went at lunch time and had no trouble getting the discount other than having to mention it to our server 3-4 times. The pizza this time was excellent. DH had the puck burger and was not impressed. When he menioned it to our server her response was "No, its not very good is it?" We decided that I will have to learn how to make the smoked salmon pizza (recipe is on Puck's site) and avoid this restaurant forevermore. 5.5/10
Market Street Cafe (Celebration) We drove here for lunch and to look around. I had clam chowder with 1/2 a turkey club, and DH had the chili. Both were fresh and yummy. We had to wait a few minutes as our server didn't notice us at first, so she gave us our cokes for free. 8.5/10
Trail's End Buffet I always used to stay at Ft Wilderness with my family and was looking forward to showing DH this part of the World. We found the buffet to be excellent. They had chili, which DH enjoyed, a nice salad bar, navy bean soup, macaroni and cheese, fried chicken, make your own tacos with taco meat, soft tortillas, and fixings including a very good guacamole. They also had 4 different kinds of sandwiches and apple cobbler for dessert. The server only charged us for the soup and salad buffet as that is mostly what we ate, so our total before tip was under $15. 9/10
'Ohanas I had made a 7:20 ps with hopes of seeing the FITS fireworks. We showed up at 6:55 and requested a window table. By 7:20 we were seated at a table for 6 (there were only 2 of us), not right by the windows but with an excellent view of the castle. I had really been looking forward to the potstickers and was disappointed that they seemed slightly soggy. The rest of the meal did not disappoint. The steak, pork, turkey and shrimp were excellent. The surprised look on our server's face when I asked for more was priceless. We had just finished eating when they dimmed the lights, piped in the music from the MK, and we had a great fireworks viewing spot! Probably our most magical moment of this trip. 9/10
Beaches 'n' Cream We decided to eat here on the spur of the moment as we took the boat over to Epcot from MGM on our last night. The place was packed but we were lucky enough to just walk in and be seated in a comfy booth. Our server, Tim, was the best one we encountered this trip. I had the prime rib sub and DH had, surprise surprise, the chili, with a chocolate shake. The food was great, the atmosphere was fun, and we got to see the Kitchen Sink served to a table of guests while we were there. 9/10
Snacks around the World that we enjoyed I love the ham and cheese croissant from the Patisserie Boulangerie in France. For $2.95 you get a tasty filling snack. DH enjoyed the goulash at Sommerfest, another filling snack under $3. We had danishes from Starring Rolls Bakery and Tusker house, I found that the one from Tusker house was not fully cooked. You can get a toasted bagel with cream cheese at the Fountainview Expresso Bakery at Epcot for under $3 too. The McDonald's fries available at the parks are always a good bet for a snack too.
