Free Dining?!?! With pics! 8/16-8/22 2009 [updated Pizza Planet]

What a coincidence!! We got there early for EMH too, but had to wait in line for my birthday stuff at Will Call first. We thought the EMH that morning was very unorganized... no one knew what was open and what wasn't. Anyhoo, you just missed us at Pecos Bill then! Because we got there like right at 11am!

We went over to get buttons also, the guys went to get FP's while we did that. Your right about no one knowing what was open, because while waiting in line for Peter Pan, I was texting to my DH and he said he got FP's for Splash. I then told this to my nephew's girlfriend and someone in line told us that Splash was closed.

Great Review! We did Breakfast at CRT last year, and the food was pretty good. It was our anniversary and they gave us a window with a beautiful view too! The only bad thing is that we ate too much and then tried walking around a hot park all day! We know better for this trip!

Thanks for the great CRT review, we're doing lunch there in a few weeks & it's nice to hear a good review. We're not going for the food as much as the experience of dining in the castle, but it's good to know the food is ok too.

You start off with a basket of rolls and butter. I think they were yeast rolls... they were good nonetheless:
Then the Fairy Godmother came out and put on her show.

She sang a song, had the guests say the "magic words" (I bet you know what they are!!!) and then asked who was celebrating something. I really thought that this whole thing was stupid.
Up next: We travel to DHS... where we wait. and wait. and wait for food.

LOVE yeast rolls!!!!!

Funny as you thought the FGM spiel was stupid, I thought the same thing...


You would thinkthe pics would be TOP priority as thisis whymost show up,
thanks for the pics and review so far keep it up!!!!

It was crazy! I'll talk more about it in my TR... whenever I get a chance to update it......

The views are absolutely beautiful! I'm glad that you were able to get a great table for your anniversary! We ate our big meals at dinner, so I only had to ride like 1 or 2 more rides then watch the evening fireworks before heading home. I don't know if I would have made it carrying a full stomach all day... and I definitely wouldn't have had room for a CS afterwards! Oh who am I kidding? I would have eaten it anyways.

Thanks for the great CRT review, we're doing lunch there in a few weeks & it's nice to hear a good review. We're not going for the food as much as the experience of dining in the castle, but it's good to know the food is ok too.

I hope you have a great time and enjoy your castle dining experience!

I'm glad you agree with me! I have no clue about the pics; they couldn't find the pics of the family's sitting near us either. We left before them, so I don't know what happened with that

Okay, it's been awhile since my latest update and I'd like to welcome everyone back! On Wed. August 19th, we went to DHS. Jamey had decided before we went that he wanted to try Pizza Planet... on my last trip my friend and I tried to eat here, but the line was outrageous! Unfortunately, we got delayed by the Great Movie Ride so we didn't make it to Pizza Planet until 12pm or so.

It was a little crowded, but it didn't look that bad, so I sent Jamey outside to grab a table while I placed our order. I waited about 10min before I was able to place our order. Great, right?! It shouldn't take that long for our food to be ready......... wrong!!!!!!!! After passing the cashier, I waited for 35min before I got my food! People just started packing inside! I swear everyone was getting at least 6 pizzas at a time! I guess the cooking couldn't keep up with the demand. Anyways, since it took forever, I was able to really look around at the inside which is kind of neat, since the stars make different shapes on the walls, such as pizza slices, mushrooms, etc.... and I found... a hidden mickey! lol! All by myself! Can everyone see it?

Alright, so I finally get our food and walk out to find that Jamey has secured a table with an umbrella. There aren't any seats inside that I know of, so an umbrella table is a must! Especially during the summer! Unfortunately, Jamey grabbed his food as soon as I got to the table and started scarfing it down since it took so long, and I didn't have the heart to make him wait even a minute more. lol. So I only have pics of my food.

For the record, Jamey ordered a pepperoni pizza combo which came with a side salad and a chocolate chip cookie for dessert.

I ordered a veggie pizza combo which also came with a side salad and a Mickey head rice krispie treat.

I wasn't sure I was going to like the pizzas here, but there were surprisingly very good! I was expecting something along the lines of cheap frozen pizza, but this had a nice thick crust, a nice blend of cheeses, fresh tasting veggies and was almost too big! My only complaint would be that the sauce is a little too much like tomato sauce... not much flavor there besides tomato. But all in all, it was very good. Jamey also liked his pizza. The salads were... salads... lettuce mix and tomatoes. You can pick your dressing from a few varieties at the condiment bar. I didn't eat my Mickey head until I got home, but it held up nicely considering it was like 5 days later. haha. It was really good too! I think this is one of the best "regular" dessert choices that most CS places offer. These things are huge!

Later that day we stopped to get our mid-day snack at a snack cart near Star Tours. We ordered an ice cream bar and a sprite, the CM had noticed my birthday button and said it was a birthday gift! I thought that was so nice! We met some really nice people in the Star Tours section and as soon as I get around to updating my TR, I'll write about that! :] A little later, Jamey got the munchies again so we stopped by the Dig Site where he got a popcorn... I'm not much of a popcorn eater because I don't like the kernels sick but he seemed to really like it! At least he sure ate it!

Up next:: more waiting at Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater... is it worth it? Stay tuned to find out!

Hello again

Not sure if you knew that Pizza Planet has upstairs seating. We went to Pizza Planet the day after you. It was lunch for DH and my nephew, we just showed up to snack on their left overs. .
