Food Plan Review

[donnych]

I have gotten so much help off these boards I thought I would give back.
There were 7 of us DW, DS15 (has gluten allergy) DD13 DD8 DS4 DS4
We stayed 9 nights in POP.
No need to keep track of receipts they give you a print out of all snacks, TS and CS at check out.
Our total came to 2800.00 of food!!!!
No glow in dark ice cubes, child got app. And desert off adult if none on their menu
Snacks- basically what people have said with these exceptions. Got Mickey rice krispy treats at POP.
There is a snack cart leaving Innovations going to Mission space that will let you have the frozen lemonade as a snack. POP and a couple of carts have the smaller PowerAde as a snack.
Had 5 snacks left at check out and used for Mickey rice treats.
We also had 11 CS meals to take home for trip. Way too much food so our advice is to not try to save for end. We are big eaters and were never hunger.
I did buy a couple of snacks along the way.

CS- was able to share anything and get adult for kids
• Pepper Market- GREAT no restrictions even got 19.00 steaks, except must choose cookie, rice or muffin for dessert. Chef worked well with gluten problem
• MK- Cosmic Ray’s, Pecos Bills both good with a lot of food, the later went and got desert and bread for gluten free son.
• MK- Pinocchio Village Haus Great shakes
• Epcot- Sunshine Seasons- fabulous, we got great food and the deserts are great even little ones get adult portions; we used one meal just to get the large waffle cone ice cream.
• AK – Pizzafari- good sandwich and got frozen lemonade for lunch. One of the few that questioned adult number on card.
• MGM- quick meal at Rosies to take to fantasmic
TS- shared meals with kids to get one extra meal for a total of 10
• Cindys for breakfast and Dinner- good but rather rushed
• Sci Fi for lunch and Dinner- first time good the second time 40 min wait and slow service.
• Le Cellier- one of the best, chef great.great service children got adult apps and deserts.
• Chef Mickey- Dinner not that good and took forever to talk to chef about son
• Teppanyaki- 35 min wait and slow service amateurish cook the worst meal. The place looks old and outdated to me.
• Concourse Steakhouse- great chef, food, deserts, kids got adult apps and deserts if wanted.
• Beach Club Goofy breakfast- great character interaction at a laid back pace, a must go.
• Crystal Palace – a first and a last. Too hurried and food so so. Good chef though

I will answer any questions about gluten menus and others as I can

9 days at pop was it worth it? was it noisy? what building did you stay in? thanks we will be doing 10 days at pop and we are just wondering. thanks

We really enjoyed it. If you are going to park and spending little time at motel it is great. There is much to do and the place was not that noisy for us. No one ever complained about noise. We stayed in 50's section building 3 that is nearest the lake. Would do it again in a heartbeat. Maybe would stay in 80's or 90's since it seemed less crowded

Thanks for posting! Glad you got lots of good info on these boards.

Around what time did you eat at the Castle for dinner? I originally booked there justto have the slipper dessert. Now it is no longer available and I am wondering if it is worth it. We did dine there on the last family trip in 2002. You mentioned that you were rushed, but how was the quality of the food? Last time, we were pleasantly surprised.

Thanks,
penny

We ate at 5:40 and got slipper on 9/23. Good food just rushed by waiter had a hard time with refills. But it is a small place and our waiter was hard to understand maybe another waiter would be better.
I would do this again just because it is the Castle and it was better than breakfast there
