Great pictures! Those steaks look great, and I'm not a big steak eater. Thanks for sharing!

Those smoothies look wonderful! How was the strip steak? My mom is planning on trying this I hope it was good.

I was drooling halfway through and then the desserts almost made me fall out of the chair. YUM. Are those pretzel bread sticks?!

Thanks for being the first to post a reply! The steaks were great! For me, it was the best meal of the trip.

Those smoothies look wonderful! How was the strip steak?

The smoothies were a yummy added bonus to the DDP. I had the coffee rubbed steak and I really thought it was wonderful. I was a little unsure about the whole coffee rubbed part, but it was very flavorful and juicy! (Maybe the caffeine from the coffee helped me stay awake for Illuminations!)

Yes, there were pretzel breadsticks and I think maybe a multigrain. I could make a meal out of pretzel breadsticks and butter!

LOOOVE the pics! I didn't realize that so many non-alcoholic drinks were included on the DDP! I'm going to have to remember to ask whenever we go to TS restaurants about what I can get!

Can't wait to see the rest of your photos!

 

[PrincessBetsy]

All that food looks amazing - especially the steaks and desserts!! Your making me really hungry!

 

[Nohal]

Wow! Pics are great. I'm eating at LeCellier in Sept and was thinking about the coffee rubbed steak. It looks great I am just wondering if it tastes like coffee. I also didn't realize you could get drinks like that. The Apple Sour Splash looks great did it taste like an Appletini without the vodka?

 

[jeminni]

Thanky ou for the Spoodles pictures. this is one of my favorite restaurants at WDW, I'm sorry it will be closed down when I go in September. I'd love to be having the Mediterranean dips, olives and a glass of Sangria right about now.

Our server was great and suggested the smoothies to us. After a day of traveling and all the excitement of being in the park, it really hit the spot!

It was all delicious! I'm a fan of the DDP!

I didn't think it tasted like coffee. I'm not a java drinker, so I'm not sure I would have liked it as much if it did. It did have a bit of a gritty texture, but the flavor was great! The apple drink was my son's BFF, so I didn't get to taste it, but he said it was good. I had the raspberry smoothie and it tasted like yummy raspberry sorbet!

It was our first and sadly last trip to Spoodles. I'm glad we were able to get there before it closed.

Your pics really hit the spot! Thanks for sharing

Thanks for checking it out! I wanted to at least get some photos up since I haven't had time to write a real review.

I was dying to check out the AKL, so I dragged the guys over to Mara after a morning at the AK. The zebra domes live up to the hype!
