Thanks for the advice, I think I just may try Yak and Yeti!! I guess I'll eat wherever I can get a reservation!! Thanks for all your help!!

Oh thank you so much for your kind words, I really have a great time taking the pictures and posting reviews....glad it helps you guys out.

You will LOVE Boma, it is such an awesome place for breakfast!

Well I got to tell ya, we ate at Y&Y a few weeks ago and we loved it, the food is super good. We were supposed to try this place in March and DH made me cancel it for Chefs de France (which was awesome too!) We have been to the Japan hibachi tables before the remodel (the last time was 5 year ago) and DH loves that type of food so we are going back there in Aug to give it a try.

I would have to pick Y&Y because we loved the food and we have many Japanese places locally and get eat that type of food all the time.

Whichever you choose I hope you love it, and let me know what you think

Nicky as I am trying to choose my restaurants for next trip I am so confused. As you seem to have eaten at almost every single restaurant in "the world" I was wondering what you consider your top 5 or your worse 5?

Ok I read this post and blew my ice tea out my nose, I cannot believe that we have dined at almost all the places in WDW ....ok so I have a sickness

Yes it is true, we have tried a lot of places so my favs would be, in no certain order:

Boma breakfast
Ohana dinner
Spoodles dinner
50's Prime Time dinner
Chefs de France dinner

Now just so you know, we are trying Ohana breakfast, Teppan Edo (since the remodel) and Tonys in MK for the first time next month..so ha ha there are 3 new ones for you!

Now for my top 5 worst they would have to be:

H&V dinner, BLECH!
Spoodles breakfast
1900 Park Faire breakfast

We have been pretty lucky, for all our trips to WDW these are the only 3 meals that were really really terrible...I mean so bad that we will never go back and give them another try.

Uh oh, is Park Faire nasty? We have reservations there.

Now I am totally honest about my food reviews, if the food is not to my taste and I just dont like it I will say that but if the food is bad then there is no sugar coating it

So Dec 06, our 10 year anniversary trip I decided to try all new places to dine. This included our departure day late breakfast at 1900 PF. We love character meals and did 2 other character breakfasts on this trip and they were fantastic (CP and Donalds) but we did them at 8 am. This ressie was for 10:15 as we wanted to sleep in. We took the bus from WL to GF, had to wait a bit and we were seated in 10 minutes or so.

Our table, if you can call it that, was this tiny 2 top wedge between 2 huge family tables, the characters could not squeeze over to us so they just waved...ok no big deal because we had seen Tigger and Pooh the other morning. Alice in Wonderland did make it over.

The place was crazy insane loud, I mean so loud you could not hear yourself think. There were people all over the place, kids running everywhere and the noise is a big reason why DH will never go back there again.

The food was terrible and I do mean terrible. The only thing good and fresh was the strawberry soup and the bread pudding which was hot and fresh and brand new one put out on the buffet. The breads and pastries were dry and spongy, the bacon was so salty and overcooked DH wouldnt eat it, the scrambled eggs were dry, the sausage floating in grease, the fruit tasted like refrigeration from not being covered in the cooler I guess and the worst was the egg station as they were supposed to have 2 but closed one down around 10:30 so the lines for the other one was huge...no way did I want to wait for that.

I would not mind trying dinner here but I cannot get DH to go for it.

Oh that stinks. Thank you for being honest w/me.

 

[Michelle_and_Aaron]

Lol I didn't mean to be insulting in anyway, just that you are, ah, "experienced" in disney dining.
I would love to be lucky enough to live so close and be able to go that often.
See I aspire to be you.
Now that we are in Charleston instead of Maryland we are WAY close enough to go a few times a year so woohoo I will be able to put all your reviews to good use and try them all too.
I can't wait to hear about your late summer mini trip and then your next live review!
Thanks again for the top 5 list, I will definitly put it to good use.

Oh dont worry I was not taking any offense at all, it was funny because I think I am obsessed with WDW! I guess I always knew it was there but for someone else to pick up on it ...wow I do have an addiction

Hey Nicki and anyone else who may be interested ...

Last weekend at a local liquor store we found a huge display of that pretty pink stuff you took a picture of in France. Since Jay and I were putting out the cash for a bottle of single malt scotch for the family to suck down with dessert I talked my BIL into buying a bottle of the pink stuff for the "girlie" drinkers in the family.

It was $30 for the bottle which I think is a bit high based on prices I saw online, but it actually tasted pretty good.

It's fizzy, so I think it must be designed to be consumed pretty quickly. And is it ever sweet! We chilled it in the fridge and then poured it over ice. Once the ice diluted it a bit the taste smoothed out and it was fairly enjoyable.

Not something that we'd buy to keep in the house, but if you like sweet drinks this might be something to consider.

And I'd just like to say thank you for allowing me to sample this alcohol on behalf of everyone here.

On behalf of all of us "Thank You" for your dedication to this cause, job well done!

I think I'll pass on it, not into that supersweet stuff.

 

[Michelle_and_Aaron]

I am so jealous of you trying the pink fizzy vodka stuff. Now I have to hunt it down and try it.

 

[MickeyNicki]

Thanks for trying it for us Brenda! I cannot wait until next month when we get back to Epcot so I can try it, I like sweet things...and get some more of those wonderful GM slushies!

And now you're in the UK- a long ways from Naples!

 

[castmemberb4]

You are welcome! I didnt investigate it more, I wish I did...the sign read $15 so I assume that is for the bottle? They did have a bunch in the cooler behind the counter but they were all sealed. We are going back in August so I fully intend to check it out more thoroughly

This gives me hope that they sell it by the glass, otherwise why keep it chilled It's not like you can buy a bottle and drink it right there, if I remember right you have to send all alchol to package pick up. From Brenda's description I think it's going to be too sweet for me but hey you gotta try it once right?

I loved your report! Thank you for going to all the trouble. I don't have reservations for any of those places but I would not cross them off the next trip! And I didn't even know about the frozen Chai until now... made a note to stop by and get one!

Thanks!

About the frozen chai...I loved it and I tried the one at Starbucks...it is NOTHING like the one at AK. The one from Starbucks tastes like a candle or bad cologne....I had them exchange it for a frozen cinnamon dolce frappaccino...this one tastes exactly like the one from AK
