I Go to Disney for the Food - Live Report - 12/2 - 12/7 with pics

[WhateverLolaWants]

For the past five months, I have been drooling over all of the dining reviews in anticipation for my trip. So here I am to pay you all back! My report will be mostly CS (we're po'), but also includes three TS meals. Hope you all enjoy!!

Up first, I wanted to include a non Disney eatery because I love to spread the love about this place. Pita Pit! Essentially, it's a Subway but with pitas. We ate the one in Winter Park, but there's also one downtown on Orange, and a few others in the area.

I got the turkey pita, with cheddar cheese, lettuce, tomato, sprouts, pickles, and ranch dressing. They stuffed it so much that my pita actually broke. Still amazing as always. Didn't get pictures of anyone else's in my family since we were starving they started wolfing them ASAP.

I'm surprised I haven't seen too many food pictures from T-Rex. We decided to have our first Disney dinner here, and then browse around the shops. We arrived at probably about 6pm, and breezed right in. When we got out, however, the line was out the door.

We tried to request the ice room, but ended up in the room next to it which ended up being okay because the blue lighting in the ice room would have annoyed me I think. Our server was nice enough, but disappeared for long periods of time and took him three reminders for lemon for my water.

My mom and sister both had the french onion soup. I tasted a bit of it and it was pretty good.

My dad had the tomato basil soup and he enjoyed it as well.

Since they had soup, my mom and sister decided to split the cheesesteak sandwich, with the peppers and onions on the side.

My dad had the fish tacos. He said they were good, but decided he probably should have had them cooked the other way because they were a tad spicy (I forget which he had and the menu isn't loading online).

And last but not least, I had the nachos from the appetizer menu. I've been craving nachos for the longest time, so I decided why not. They give you such a large portion, I probably ate like a 1/3 of it and could not go any further. They were okay, nothing special.

Overall, I don't think I'd do this restaurant again. I think everyone should do it once to get the experience, but the four of us agreed the food was "just okay."

My favorite cookie in the world can be found at Goofy's Candy Shop. It is the Supreme Chocolate Chip Cookie. On the left is some sort of cookie with raspberry, white chocolate and milk chocolate. My dad said it was good, and I loved mine of course.

On 12/3 we went to Epcot. When I was 17 I went to France and my biggest regret was that I did not eat enough pastries. So I try to make up for it by always eating at Boulangerie Patisserie. I got the strawberry tart, my mom got an eclair that also had chocolate filling, and my sister got some sort of cake type thing that was raspberry and lemon. We all enjoyed and devoured quickly.

Thanks for posting about the Pita Pitt. I think when we go we will be staying offsite so offsite meals will be part of our trip (we po' too! LOL! & we got a gang of kids! ) so I love to see those too.

The French onion soup looks delish and the fish tacos! YUMM. Love fish tacos since I had them in Mexico 3 years ago.

This will be brief, since it's 7:15 in the morning and we've decided it's necessary to get to DHS for rope drop. I haven't done a rope drop since I was a kid, but I overheard a woman the other night at Epcot talk about TSMM and how quickly the fastpasses are running out in this low crowd level.

So, Le Cellier. First time here for my sister and I, but my parents have done it in the past. We arrived 25 minutes early because we were bored, and actually got seated in about 5 minutes. We were seated at the first table near the exit, which seemed scary at first but luckily not too many people walked by. Service was good, our waitress was nice and they replaced my sister's filet because it was cooked too much.

We were on the Candlelight dinner package, so we received appetizers, entrees, and desserts. All four of us started with a bowl of the cheese soup. I hear so much about this soup on these boards, so I was excited to try it. It was a little more spicy than I was expecting.

For our entrees, we all got the mushroom filet. Mom, sister, and I all had it with the cream cheese mashed potatoes (the waitress even offered it as an option without us having to ask), and my dad decided to switch it up and go for it with the risotto. Everything was good, and the risotto was apparently cooked perfectly.

I was stuffed by dessert time, so I opted to get my dessert to go. I slightly regret this now because I shoved my mousse into my drawstring backpack and when I got to the car later that night, I discovered I had a nice chocolate stain on the inside of my backpack. Fun.

Dad and sister opted for the maple creme brulee. I had a nibble, it tasted like pancakes. Wayyy too sweet for my taste buds, and my sister ran from the table because the sweetness make her feel like she was going to try the taste it twice diet, if you catch my drift. My dad finished it all, so go figure.

And finally, my mom got the smores. The presentation was cute. I don't really know what she thought about it, though.

So, I'm off to get ready for DHS!

I am bad because I have never tried a pastery from France!

That strawberry tart looked soooo good. Actually everything looked tasty! I can't pass that up next time we go! I know you wern't on the DDP but, do you know if you can use snack credits for them?

 

[PiperGirlInWondrland]

Great reviews, looking forward to hearing more!

 

[MickeyNicki]

The strawberry tart was definitely yum. Usually I also get a chocolate croissant, but wanted to save room for Le Cellier. I'm not 100% sure on the snack credit thing, but I imagine they are. I think pretty much everything that is under $4 is considered a snack.

When we decided to rent a house instead of staying on property, we were excited at the thought of having a kitchen to cook in and save some moolah. For whatever reason, we have no food except chips and bottled water and cookies. Last night when I was starving, I called my dad and sister who were at DTD to ask them to bring me something back from Wolfgang's. I opted for the four cheese macaroni and it also came with a caesar saad. Didn't think of taking a picture of the salad, but here's the pasta. It was good, and even better reheated since I just finished it tonight

You have absolutely talked me out of T-Rex and have me salivating at the thought of Le Cellier!!!

So we didn't quite make it in time for rope drop at DHS due to how long it took to put our dog in the kennel at Epcot. The wait at TSMM was already at 70 min a little bit after 9am, crazy.

So after a few rides at DHS, we headed over to AK for a few rides and a bite to eat. We were originally going to eat at Flame Tree, but the lines were long and we wanted to eat inside somewhere. Thus, we headed over to our old standby, Pizzafari. My family gave me the whole, "you need a picture of this? It's pizza, they know what it looks like!" lol

My dad and I both got the cheese pizza. The crust was really good and I believe they changed it to a multigrain one. The pizza was a little too saucy for my taste, but I'm picky so take that with a grain of salt.

Mom and sister got the pepperoni pizza.

My sister and I split the breadsticks. These were blah. The marinara dipping sauce was terrible, and the breadsticks were just okay.

I had heard some of the condiment bars were bringing back the cheese sauce, so we headed to Backlot Express. We were about to order and then decided we should check to make sure they have it. They didn't so we headed over to where Rosie's and Toluca's are so I could get what I wanted and my sister could have her turkey leg since our next trip to the parks will be MVMCP and we have ressies at LTT and we'll probably be too full for snacking. And because I know how unpredictable the turkey leg hours can be at MK (former turkey leg seller here!).

Here's the turkey leg. I had a few bites, wasn't too bad.

I had the chicken nugget basket. I was scared when I heard that they had changed them from strips to nuggets, but they're exactly the same and the portions seem pretty equivalent. This was near closing time, so I'm guessing that's why the fries were a little wilted.

My dad got the carrot cake, and my mom a chocolate milk.

yum =D
