Excuse Me, Does this Milk Come with Refills? A Review w/pics! Updated 1900 PF 12/27

[queenofthehill]

Awesome reveiw so far.

 

[iluvpluto27]

Really enjoying your reviews and pics. The peanut butter chocolate cake at sci-fi looks good, I was going to order that but we were just too full from our entrees.

 

[habg1]

Our next stop was dinner @ Hollywood & Vine.

I would skip this next time. We did this last year and should have never done it again. We would have went to Mama Melrose's but they couldn't make sure that 6 of us were together. So....H & V it was.

Fantasmic pkg was a joke this time. We got our pass, but we go in with the regular crowd. The whole reason I got the pkg. was for the parents (who are on scooters) to avoid the crowds.

I think I was upset with this and therefore took only 1 picture...

I don't know what could be done differently. Maybe it's just us, but this was a dissapointment this year.


Up Next: Grand Floridian Cafe Breakfast

[habg1]

The next day brought us to the Grand Floridian Cafe for Breakfast. We had a 7:30 am ressie , yes 7:30.

And what do you know we got right in! Could it be that is was way too early for most people? Probably.

Anyway...

American Platter for 2 of us

Lobster Benedict...looks like a crab to me

Steak & Eggs...husband gave this a

Kids Mickey Waffles for the 2 girls...

Would go back next year, wonderful breakfast.

Bill for the 4 of us (husband, me and the girls) - $58.33 plus $8.43 tip (because of the party of 6)

Perfect Breakfast.

Up Next: 'Ohana dinner

The PB & Chocolate cake had 2 gobs of PB in the center, and it was warm. I would of ordered another one and payed for it oop, but didn't want to look like a pig. It was that good.

I forgot to take pics of our lunch, which was at Port Orleans Riverside counter service.

Kids had the pizza

I had the grilled chicken sand.

Husband had the cheeseburger

Nothing special here. But good.

But here we go...

Bread

Noodles

Potstickers

Sticky Wings

Meat, there was so much meat. This is pork. All meat was , awesome!

Hello! Hello!

We're back from a 7 night stay at the Polynesian. I am going to attempt to do a food review, my first. So after reading all the other reviews, I'm going to give it a shot! Bear with me, it might be pretty good.


Okay - 1st day -

We flew in from Upstate NY and were there around 11am - 12 pm.
Staying 7 nights at the Poly with Deluxe Dining.

There are 6 of us. My parents, the husband and the 2 daughters.

Hence the title: The reason for the title will be further on down the road...

Aloha habg1! Thanks for the food review. My sister & I are planning on going Nov.27-Dec. 4, 2009 and will also be staying at the Polynesian using the Deluxe Dining Plan. Just wondering if you have also posted a review of your stay on either the resort forum or a trip report. I was interested in which longhouse you were in? If you want you can PM me the information.

Hello! No, no trip review. Sorry. We stayed in Rapa Niue (?). Mostly because we asked for a room close to the parents, who asked for a handicap accesible room.

Loved the building & room, but if you plan on being in the lobby or pool most of the time, ask for one closer. It's not a bad walk, 5 minutes tops. But on a chilly night, closer the better. If you will have a car, you can't beat the location, we could see our car from the patio. It was a 30 sec walk to the car from our room. If I can answer any questions for you, fire away...

Animal Kingdom day brought us to Pizzafari for breakfast. I only took 1 picture here. Don't ask me why, might be I I was distracted by Timon outside the window. But here it is.

Breakfast Platter X 4

All good. Usual counter service breakfast. Everything was hot. Couldn't ask for more.

Up next Yak & Yeti lunch

 

[habg1]

This was a delight! I was thiiiiisss close to canceling this ressie. I was nervous about this. But not to worry, it was a hit.

We sat upstairs and had a view of the sidewalks below. We used the elevator, because of the parents. Not a problem. Great theme, nice service.

We were stuffed after we left. Here's what we had:

Fried green beans - my 9 year old actually wolfed a bunch of these down.

Pork Pot stickers for me...yummy

Steamed Mussels - this could have been a meal all by itself...

Wonton soup

Our entrees were:

Duck - my stepfather was quiet during his meal, he must of liked it then...

Sweet & sour pork for me -

Sweet & sour chicken for Mom...

Ribs for the husband...

Kids burger

Kids chicken nugget meal

On to dessert:

Sorbet

Brownie sundae for 2 this was goooood

Mango pie

Kids ice cream

Overall, very good. Big portions, especially the ribs. Would probably go back next year. You should not leave hungry here!


Up next: Boatwright's @ Port Orleans Riverside

 

[mickeymotto]

So glad you liked Yak & Yeti. We fell in love with it in September. I had the sweet/sour pork and was in heaven.

 

[habg1]

We had a ressie at Tusker house at 4:55pm that day, but decided to cancel. Called the reservation line and got a reservation for Boatwright's @ Port orleans Riverside. We stayed there last year and never ate there, so we decided to try it this year.

So here we go:

Corn Bread for all

Corn & Crab Chowder X 3

Mom had the Romaine Salad

Kids had the chicken noodle soup

Entrees were:

Beef Tenderloin for Mom

Prime Rib for the husband , myself and Step Father

Kids chicken nugget meal X 2

Desserts:

Fresh Berries in season (strawberries), yum

Pecan Pie

Apple Pie for the husband

StepDad passed dessert.

Kids ice cream

OK - Now the title. The husband loves milk, drinks it like water. So he orders a milk here. What come out was a glass smaller than the kids drinks. Here's a picture, but I should have put the kids glass next to it for comparison. No refills on the milk either. The kids milk, yes. Adult milk, no. Go figure. Totally does not make sense. The glass was smaller than the kids, and no refills. Husband was not happy. Can you blame him?

Anyway, any of the meals that followed we started to ask about the milk and if there were refills. Hence, the title of my review.

So, the moral of the story is: don't order milk here, because you're not going to get squat. Stick with the sodas.

Otherwise the meal was pretty good. We topped off our meal with a nice carriage ride around the French Quarter with a horse named Prince Charming.

I'll see if I have a picture of the carriage and horse tomorrow.

Up next: Another Captain cooks meal followed by Coral Reef lunch
