Disney Dining Reviews with lots of Pics! 1/7-1/13 COMPLETED 3/2

Our dinner at Le Cellier was pretty early, so hunger struck when we were back at our hotel room that night. We saw the pizza delivery menu on our tv and decided to order a snack:

The breadsticks didn't really taste too fresh but the sauce to dip them in was good. The wings were just ok too. We both like wings that are crispy on the outside and these weren't but they were very spicy, which I do like.

I wasn't really expecting much since this was just a late night snack but it got the job done!

Great so far!

Is it worth paying OOP for the cheddar soup @ LC?

It was worth it for us this time, since neither of us had tried it before and we really wanted to. We liked it and thought it went great with the pretzel bread, but one bowl for each of us added about $11 of out of pocket charges so if you're looking to save money I'd say skip it. The entree and dessert would have been enough to fill us up anyway, plus if you want something to munch on while you're waiting for your food the breadsticks are great.

The next morning, we had an 8:05 reservation for breakfast at Crystal Palace. We arrived at the Magic Kingdom and got some great pictures of the castle with hardly any people in them:

There was a photopass photographer on Main Street and she took a picture of us holding Tinkerbell, which I was really excited about because I love those special photopass pictures with the digital characters in them (during our trip we also got the picture in front of the Haunted Mansion with the ghost in the background, us holding baby Simba at Animal Kingdom, and us pointing to Stitch coming out of the street at Hollywood Studios).



We arrived and were seated right away. I have an almond and stone fruit allergy, and chef Randy came over right away to speak with me about what I could and couldn't have. I wish I could remember our waitress' name, she was very very friendly! She brought us some juice and then we went up to the buffet.

Here is my plate:

Here is DBF's plate:

There were 2 things from the buffet that I fell in love with - the Puffed French Toast from the kid's buffet and the Breakfast Lasagna. At first we didn't see the Breakfast Lasagna and thought maybe they didn't have it anymore, then DBF found it off to the side and we're so glad he did! DBF also really loved the Frittata, but I skipped that because I hate eggs. He went up for seconds but one plate had me stuffed!

We loved it here are we can't wait to come back!

Those are my two favorite things too! I'm not a big fan of eggs either.

Love the report so far. Can't wait to hear more.

I'm beginning to think Le Cellier is having difficulty in their kitchen cooking steaks. Dh and I were there in december and both asked for medium. Dh got well done and I got raw. I've read on here and talked to others that have been in the past few months. They also had troubles with the temperature of their steaks. Hopefully they get it worked out before we go back in june.

I know they had the sorbet, chocolate moose, campfire smores, chocolate whiskey cake, and creme brulee, and I think there may have been a few other choices I'm forgetting.

Here are a few pictures I forgot I had taken at Crystal Palace:

We had originally planned on skipping lunch today since we knew we were going to have a huge breakfast and we had an early dinner reservation at Cinderella's Royal Table (4:15 was the only time we could get since we added this reservation only a few months before our trip), but I ended up getting kind of hungry so we decided to go to Cosmic Ray's. I went right to the chicken section because I knew I wanted this:


Half Rotisserie Chicken with Mashed Potatoes and Vegetable

I think DBF kind of wanted a burger but didn't feel like going to a different section since the lines were kind of long, so he ended up with a Grilled Chicken Sandwich with Fries:

I loved my chicken. There was lots and lots of white meat, and I got a few little containers of barbecue sauce to dip it in. The potatoes were great, I love mashed potatoes with the skins in. This was a great counter service meal, it tasted like it could have been table service.


DBF was happy with his sandwich, I tried a bite of it and it was good. We both had the Sugar-Free Brownie, which was prepackaged but was delicious. It was really moist and chocolatey.

We will definitely come back here on our next trip!



As a little bonus, here are some pics of Sonny Eclipse!

When we were walking through the park, I saw Aloha Isle and although I wasn't the least bit hungry, I was dying to try a Dole Whip Float! I never had a Dole Whip before and I always see people rave about it.

Now I know why everyone loves Dole Whip! It was great and I wanted to get another one later in the trip but never got around to it. I can't wait to have it again next time we're at the Magic Kingdom.

Sunshine Seasons was not on my "list", but you can bet it is now

I am loving your reviews!! I am now convinced we made the right decision about make a breakfast ADR at the Crystal Palace. YUM!!!

 

[Eeyore Excitement]

Love your reviews! I just now remembered, thanks to your review for Cosmic Ray's, that we did go there in our trip of '06- I specifically remember getting very freaked out by Sonny Eclipse XD

 

[BaBeeCee14]

Glad you enjoyed Le Cellier. I can't wait to try that cheese soup! DF and I are planning to make an ADR there during our honeymoon.
