Dining Report Sept./Oct. 2006
Friday September 29, 2006:
This was our arrival day. Our flight got in at 9:10am and we went to our hotel, checked in, then went to the MK. We had a late lunch reservation for Chef Mickeys, but we were hungry so we decided to have a snack at Caseys. DH and I got the grand slam hot dog and DS and DD got the corn dog nuggets. Oh, and of course, we had to have the obligatory Mickey Bar!!! The hot dogs were fine by hot dog standards and the corn dog nuggets were really good. I think Ill get the nuggets myself in the future!
Our late lunch was at 2:40pm at Chef Mickeys. I did this only because my DS really wanted to eat there on our trip in July. He kept asking to go so I finally gave in. Food wise, it was just average. I never have liked Chef Mickeys for anything but breakfast. There werent many choices. Lets see if I can remember.
Salads, fresh fruit, bread, rolls and butter; pizza, chicken strips and Mickey-roni and cheese on the kids bar; veggie frittata, summer veggie stir-fry; pasta in an alfredo sauce with shrimp, broccoli and tomatoes (this was the only stand out to me); chili lime chicken; ribs; salmon; red velvet cake, carrot cake, chocolate cake, marble cheesecake, assorted cookies, rice krispie treats and soft serve ice cream with toppings.
I didnt take food pictures this trip (SORRY!).
Character interaction was good. The characters came around twice and the kids enjoyed seeing the gang. We saw Mickey, Minnie, Pluto, Goofy, Chip and Dale.
Saturday September 30, 2006:
I brought breakfast up really early (6:30am) to our room from Gasparillas. We had the egg and cheese croissant, a kids Mickey waffle platter and a kids egg platter. It was quick and good.
We were at Epcot today to sample the Food and Wine Festival. First we did Soarin in the Land it was only a 10 minute wait at 9:30am. GO EARLY!
OK, on to the food. We got hungry around 10:30am for snacks so we got the kids PB&J (uncrustables yum), DH had a grilled chicken wrap, I had a garden salad with hummus and pita rounds DD shared this with me. She loved the hummus and hated the PB&J. She is a foodie in the making!
We spent a lot of time in Future World then walked around WS. I sampled the beef empanada from Argentina with the chardonnay. Excellent!
I got a glass of Two Princess Riesling in Germany. SO good!
DH and I got rice stuffed grape leaves from Turkey. It was ok.
I got the goat cheese pastry in France along with sparkling pomegranate kir. Delicious.
Dinner tonight was at Boma we arrived ½ an hour early for our ressie which was at 7:40pm, and we were seated promptly at 7:40pm. The kids played on the playground while we waited.
Boma, as usual, gets two HUGE thumbs up! This is one of our FAVORITES and did not disappoint. I had the carrot-ginger soup (which I could live on), falafel, salmon, boboti (my DHs favorite), kokonut rice (that is how it was spelled), prime rib, couscous and so much more. The kids had pasta and meatballs, chicken and some mac and cheese. Desserts were zebra domes, mango mousse tartlettes (my favorite!), flourless chocolate cake, strawberry tart, cookies and my DH got a birthday platter of cookies and truffles.
We love Boma and WILL return!
That night I found a plate of chocolate truffles in my room that my DH had sent to me. Thanks, sweetie!

Breakfast was quick in our room again. The kids had cereal and I had a plain croissant (I only eat croissants on vacation man theyre GOOD)!
Then we were off to MK. We had lunch at Pecos Bills. Cheeseburger for me, hamburger for DH and the kids sloppy joe for DD. DS ate applesauce and grapes, but not much else. We love Pecos, but they no longer have the cheese sauce that I loved to dip my fries in. Oh well, didnt need the cholesterol and fat anyway!
Dinner tonight was at Ohana. We took my cousin out to dinner with us b/c he is at WDW right now working through the College Program. We enjoyed our meal here, but its just not the same since they changed the menu. The brought out a mixed greens salad which was very good and wonton chips (these are the same wonton chips you can get at a Chinese restaurant). Then they brought out shrimp and sticky wings. They were fine nothing stellar, but good. Then came the meats. The steak was the best and my DD and I ate mostly steak. The pork was ok and the turkey was good. I didnt eat the sausage because mine was cold and that made me nervous. The potatoes au gratin was delicious. DD and I finished the whole plate of it ourselves. Dessert was EXCELLENT. I really liked the bread pudding and caramel sauce. They also brought us some pineapple chunks b/c my DH is lactose intolerant.
I wish they would keep the dessert and potatoes, but bring back the wontons and the old shrimp. We probably wont return to Ohana for a LONG time.
Here are pictures of a Mickey Dome cake I ordered for my DH's birthday and the milk and cookies that GF Private Dining offers. This was sent to our room around 9pm on 10/1. The Mickey cake was very good and my DS LOVED the cookies and milk! The milk and cookies is $10.00 per order - 3 cookies and a glass of milk. The Mickey cake was $14.00 I think.

Today we got room service for breakfast. I ordered the continental which was a basket of pastries, fresh fruit, juice and coffee. I also got an order of toast and Mickey waffles along with milk for the kids. It was VERY nice having a leisurely breakfast in our room and I highly recommend doing this at least once! The pastries were croissants, muffins and apple-danish and cheese-danish. The coffee was very good. It was just really special having someone bring you your breakfast, set your table and all. Im giving my kids a taste of the sweet life!
I do have pictures of this. Ill post soon!
We went to MGM and had lunch at the Flatbread Grill. I had the grilled chicken Caesar pita. Very good, but a little heavy on the dressing. DD had a hot dog. DS had popcorn and an uncrustable and DH had the bbq pork sandwich. This was very good. I was surprised! We have never seen this spot open before and it was a nice change of pace.
Dinner was Liberty Tree Tavern!!! By far, this was my favorite meal! It is a true Thanksgiving Feast. Salad and fresh rolls with butter (no more honey-butter, though). Turkey, ham and flank steak, stuffing, mashed potatoes, macaroni and cheese and green beans. Dessert was a hot apple cobbler with vanilla ice cream. Thoroughly delicious and we will return next year before MNSSHP!!! Its great seeing the characters in costume!!!

Our last day (sniff, sniff). I brought breakfast up again. Another egg and cheese croissant, a kids egg platter and kids Mickey waffles. (Do you see a trend?).
Then we were off to the MK one more time before heading home. We went back to the GF early and were able to have lunch at the GF Café. Very good meal. I had the angus cheeseburger, DH had the grilled chicken sandwich, DS had chicken fingers and DD had the kids pizza. I wanted to try the chocolate fondue, but I was too full!!!
The kids got Mickey Bars before heading to our Magical Express bus. I had to throw ½ of DDs Mickey Bar away b/c the bus pulled up before she could finish it. So .I owe her a Mickey bar!!!
We ate a lot over the 4 ½ days we were in WDW. But we hit all of our favorites and discovered the GF Café, which both DH and I agree that we will return to.
Hope you enjoyed the report. I will be adding some pictures later in the week!!!
