Sorry about the spelling

I have done the DDP in sept promotion for the last 3 years and I can say right now that there will not be a forth time fro me . If this year was your first time on the free DDP you prob loved it... I did not :sad2: the parks and eateries were packed in my opinion. All TS dining time amount were from 1hr 20 min to 1 hr 40 min, thats without adding in travel time to get their and travel time to getto my next destination... I asked all severs and they said they didn't really care about the no tiip thing in 2008 because they were all great servers :rotfl2: in their opinion and they like having the money right then. They also said its a great deal either way. ( to my self I laughed inside)..

my adrs. ohana's 5pm 19th sept, turf club B & G 5pm, Coral reef 4pm, C. steakhouse 5:30 pm, le cellier 4pm, WCC 5pm, Raglon Road 4pm, kona 7:30 am 26th of sept

one of my last post I told everyone how I was forced into a king bedroom at CSR for the Free DDP, costing me more than a standard room.

19th of sept. My girlfriend and I got to Ohana's very hungery and got right in no wait. Once again we were not placed in the main room :sad1: , and it took a while for our waiter to get to us. drinks, both got the Unsweet-iced tea, which was kepted filled. The Starters were brought out fast :woohoo: but I didn't understand the discription of them- was said to fast.. Before I could take a bite of the Chicken wings the meat was brought to the table and the person give us the meat spoke very little english. He said it was his first day, And asked him to bring it back later, after the thrid time he finally said ok later. It took along time to get more food, but not refills, the meat we got was good, and when i asked for more turkey, once again it took forever and when I got it it was over cooked and dry. was I given bad turkey to get me to not ask for more so they could turn over the table faster? I was going to ask for more / different turkey but I didn't want to wait anymore. Dessert was great as always but when I asked for seconds the waiter said it would be like 20 mins we said ok, and I came out in like 3 mins , once again I think they wanted to turn the tables over faster. An I missed the big hawian guy and I didn't really care for the drag queen singer.. But it was still good...

Turf club b & G, there was a problem with the downtown bus and then we were going to take the boat over to saratoga S R, so we had to cancel our adr there.. And as we were walking at the boardwalk god picked our next TS meal with a down poor of rain sending us into the espn club..now I have been to the espn zone in NYC, which is what I thought this was, nope, this was more of a buger and fry TS.... I was not happy but we got right in with no wait and no ADR.. Everything was great food and sevice.. we both got a oreo drink best drink I had at Disney. The chicken wing app was wonderful ask for BBQ, they are full wings not just the half wings you get every where else. My GF got the nachos, big , good and lots of it... I got the bacon buger and she got the rubin I believe. Mine was wondeful and fresh topings, frys were ok... she said she loved hers... dessert we both got the cheesecake, full piece, berry toping and wonderful. I will return here someday...

Coral reef-- It was like I was at a romper room at a local Mcdonalds with a big fish tank. I understand I was at disney, but there was nothing elegant or special about this place.. this is also the only dining location I left hungery after. The wait took about 30 mins from our ADR. we both had ice drinks mine was strawberry, tasted good, I came out in a thin tall glass, with a pastic daulphin on the edge. The app was 2 small shrimp on a stick and beef on a stick. tasted good but thats all it was , a taste. I asked if the crab legs were fresh or frozen, she said freshly frozen... I got the steak and she got the Alaskin king crab legs 1 and 1/2 pound. my ok taste steak, came out with 2 esparagus strips and a small scoup of potatos. The crab legs looked better than the steak , but she also left hungery. The dessert I got the child's Ice cream make your own sunday, she got the creme brulle. My was good but tiny she said her's was good. I left hungry and was glad to be out of there. we both used a snack cedit after this one...

Concourse Steakhouse-- I understand its moving but what up with the quicky mart right in front of it. It was packed, another nice place to eat turned into a walmart eatery.. The guy next to me said to his wife with 2 childern, Hunny I choose this place cuz I thought it would have been expensive ( hes on the dining plan) I laughed really hard... the bread was cold, silverware not cleaned, service was good though. apps chicken wings and salad, salad was really good and done well, wings nothing special. she got the ribs and didn't care much for them , I got the ribeye and though it was ok. I didn't care for the sauce on the ribeye.. dessert chocolate cake and carrot cake .. The waiter said that the Chocolater cake they usually run out of and have to start giving a generic one out around dinner time. It was like a dove chocolate, really good.. I would hate to get the generic cake kind...

Le cellier, everything great, apps cheese and barly soups, I wish the barly soup came at a hotter temp. Bread great, I got the NY strip and subed in the Cream cheese Mashed potatos everything great. she got the Filet Mignon wth no BBQ sauce, loved it.. She got a new dessert, it was like a apple crisp with ice cream, really good but I would ask for vinilla ice cream. I got the smores cuz their fun....

WCC - senior dusty was great, ketchup was not yelled in my ear this time.. Apps we got Southwestern Chicken Soup I loved it , and she got the Cheese and Sausage Plate , dip in the BBQ sauce super. we stayed away from the skillet ( bad last time ) I got the prime rib medium, I believed smoked with veggies, really super. she got the Western Chicken Pasta , spicy and ok she said, nothing great.. dessert Apple Caramel Pie ,Kahlua-flavored Chocolate Cake ... apple I would want warmer without the skins inside or tough parts inside the pie. Kahlua-flavored Chocolate Cake was good but she said it seemed redundant...this place is known for its antics, but was a calmer atmosphere than the CS AND CR.


Raglon road -- Soda bread we had to ask for after getting our apps. I got the drunk chicken and My gf got the the mac and cheese, or that at least what the waiter called it and he called mine chicken on sticks. ha-ha :mad:
Our entrees came before the apps had ever surfaced. I asked them to take back the entrees and bring out the apps. both were lovley. when the mains were brought we had to clear our own space picking up the apps plate and switching with the server, we also had to do this with the dessert. the waiter had many times to take our plates, passing by topping off our unsweet iced tea. I got kevin bacon, ( ham), with potatos, good same as last year, she got the Posh Pan Chicken really good, wonderful sauce. and the family from whales was a joy to talk to... dessert bread pudding , and apple crumble, GF loved the bread pudding , Mine was ok if that...

Kona- TONGA TOAST, diabetic shock maker more like it, it was like sugary sour bread toast with banana middle and then pour maple surup on it . I thought I was going to go into diabetic shock, I didn't like it at all and I felt sick most of the morning after eating it , same with my GF....


Counter service were all breakfasts at peper market, Breakfast skillet or Omlete... always a joy to see pat at the pastry station

snacks MSB icecream sandwinch, Dole wip float, MSB turnovers, mickey bars and fruit bars, carton of Rice crispy treats next to Pepper market,

I bought about 60$ in water while @ wdw for me and my GF, 2 dollar bottles.

I was never over full and never thought of it being too much food,

next time I go it will be when there are less people, but anyways :thumbsup2
Disney did really well the free DDP and I don't think it will ever end...
 
Thanks for posting your reviews. Next time you have breakfast at the Kona Cafe, try the pineapple macadamia nut pancakes. They're delicious and not too sweet.
