Do I have to eat again? A QSDP dining review

[VernRDH]

Thank you for the review! Quick question - does the backlot express kids meal still come in the plastic lunch box?

Nope, no lunch box, just the plate. Not that we needed a lunch box to lug around too!

Thanks for the reviews.

Sorry to hear the Peanut butter brownie is no longer on the menu at Pecos Bill - May have to skip Pecos bill and just go to Cosmic Ray's now.

See I knew there had been some chocolately goodness dessert at Pecos Bills before!

Thanks for sharing your great review! We (3 adults) will be doing the QS in July along with 3 TS and a Tea...now I am assured of having more than enough food! Did you have snack credits left at the end or were you able to use them up on a daily basis? I am planning on having a couple cases of water delivered to our resort via Costco.

We used all of our credits. The heat really got to us, so we used a lot of snack credits on water/drinks. I know that is not the most fun use of the credits, but we also were trying not to eat ourselves to death.

Thanks! Good to know how the plan worked for your family!

Thank you all for the kind words. Now on with the show...........

The Tangerine Cafe. I knew that I would like it, I just wasn't sure how DH would do. We had eaten at Marrakesh in 2006 and he was underwhelmed. But it could have been the company at the time

I will state once again that it was hot. Face of the sun hot. So eating big heavy HOT meals when it is roasty toasty outside isn't always fun. After pondering the menu, DH and I decided to each get the chicken wrap, which came with couscous and lentil salad (both cold!). DD got (drum roll please) CHICKEN NUGGETS!

Now the chicken wrap is basically a chicken gyro. For those unfamiliar with such delicacies, its chicken, lettuce, tomato, onion and the greatest invention involving yogurt EVER, tzatziki sauce (and if it wasn't tzatziki, then it was really close). It was scrum-diddly-umptious. It was a fantastic meal for a hot day. DH really like the wrap, so much so that he had it again when we returned later in the week. The couscous was really good, lentil salad, ehh, you really need to like lentils a lot.

On the second trip, I had the lunchbox, which was a sundried tomato wrap with chicken, fries and of course BAKLAVA. There is no dessert I love more than baklava. No wait, I may have said that about key lime pie. Well there are few desserts I have met that I didn't like. But baklava, mmmmm, it is yummy, honey goodness.

DD had the kids hamburger the second time, proclaimed it aces. She too has learned to love the baklava. Again, how can you not? Well maybe if you are allergic to nuts, then no you can't love it, but otherwise it is the bomb.

So Tangerine Cafe rates high, DH is still talking about it. If I can convince him to go to the diner, he can have a gyro and baklava and relive the magic.

Next: A Mother's Day surprise at Nine Dragons

I love this place! My younger son and I snuck out to Epcot last year while others relaxed and had our lunch there...mmmmmmm!

While the bakery offers a wide variey of scrumptious baked goods, breakfast is but one thing: the ham, egg and cheese croissant. I asked the girl what came with it for the DP. She said you got a "snack" such as an apple turnover or the crumb cake plus a drink. Now the turnovers are so big that it alone would make a good breakfast. She also told me that you could get 3 yes 3 snack items instead of the sandwich and snack.

Great tip about being able to use 3 snack credits instead of a CS credit. I think we will have a couple of CS credits left over (since DD is very picky and sometimes chooses not to eat) but probably no snack credits. Now I know we can go get some goodies with any extra CS credits.

Thanks for the reviews! I'm heading down in less than 2 months now and doing the QSDP. There aren't many reviews on it out there!!

You don't use 3 snack credits-you use one CS credit and get 3 snacks! It is a great way to share, you could each get something you like and still have leftovers!

Loved your TR. We are getting the DDP and it seems like we will be eating all the time. This will be the first and I will see how it goes.

Hooray for a Dining TR that thinks like I do. I am not a breakfast person either, early in the morning, do not like to make ADR's months ahead as who knows where I will be and if I will be hungry, am allergic to paying a big tip for poor service, and love to 'waste' my snack credits on iced tea.

You gave me some good 'food for thought". Thanks.
