We had mostly DELICIOUS meals and great service with only a few disappointments mostly due to menu changes.
PIZZA PLANET:
Meatball sandwich was not as good as I remembered but still filling with plenty of melted mozzarella on top. The cappucino cupcake is still delicious and they had added a vanilla type cupcake and Halloween ones.
CAPTAIN'S GRILLE at the Yacht Club:
We had a very pleasant and relaxing meal here. DH had the ribeye. However, they have removed the bacon cheddar mashed potatoes for a mixed squash and tiny potato side. He asked for a baked potato and got it, no problem.The ribeye was good enough but not great. And they have removed the cherry-berry cobbler.The banana cheesecake was tiny and not so good to us. The crab legs were two large clusters and good but seasoned differently than Cape May's. They were accompanied by 4 small, boiled, red potatoes (plain but tasty) and a tiny piece of corn. The corn was tough, like field corn-not at all like tender sweet corn. I only ate one bite. Didn't need it anyway beacuse I ate ALL the crab and two little potatoes. We didn't care for the darker, heavy bread, either. Our waiter was very good. I would go there for the quiet, but would go to Cape May for corn and crab legs.
FLAME TREE BBQ:
Turkey Sandwich-Good but with too much turkey and not enough cranberry mayo for me. Onion rings-very large serving and tasty for a snack credit.
SPIRIT OF ALOHA LUAU:
We enjoyed this because we had the 5:15 seating and a good table near the stage but not too near. The food was about the same as 15 years ago. The salad, bread, pineapple, mandarin oranges were good. The bread was on the table and cold so we asked for more pretty soon and the second loaf was hot and much better. The chicken is plain roasted chicken and pretty good, but the ribs are tender but much more charred and spicier.We barely touched the rice and broccoli.The dessert is mousse made with raw eggs (like many mousses) so I declined. The waitress offered me a small fresh fruit plate. The second half of the show was very entertaining. I'm glad we went.
We used the dining plan (2 credits each). I wouldn't want to pay full price for it.
THE PLAZA:
Tuna Croissant: We split this, a tomato soup, and a banana split. Plenty for us.
The tuna was mostly light, chunk not white which we prefer, but we ate it all anyway. The soup and banana split was delicious! The server was nice, and I'll go there again.
AFTERNOON TEA AT THE GRAND FLORIDIAN:
I loved it this time. I only got a serving of 2 scones strawberry preserves and lemon curd, Devonshire cream and a pot of Grand Floridian Blend tea. This was at 3:30 so a perfect amount for me in place of my usual coffee and cookie. The lemon curd was added by the server when I told her I'd never tried it. It was delicious, a little like lemon icing with a bright fresh flavor.
FULTON'S CRAB HOUSE:
I know, I know. You all told me not to go there. I should have listened. We got soup and half sandwich and fried seafood platter. The sandwich (oyster poboy) had 5 tiny oysters. The chowder was okay. The platter was one piece of cod and three shrimp plus fries that tasted old and refried. No bread at all. The cod and shrimp did taste fresh and good, but I certainly don't think the meal was worth using 2 credits each (which we didn't-just paid out of pocket).
FOOD AND WINE FESTIVAL:
Canada: Mushroom filet, warm beef was very good, good amount of mushrooms (nearly cold) worth snack credit to me!
Hawaii: Pork slider was tasty but would have liked bun to be warmer. Worth a snack credit.
LINDA BEAN- LOBSTER ROLL: Very tasty and DEFINITELY worth a snack credit, but the cashiers and servers were completely unfriendly and rude. The roll was buttered and toasted with some mayo and a good amount of lobster. I don't know if I would have paid $7.50 for it. Wow, this my first long review and it's hard work. I'll take a break and post more later. Thanks for reading!

Thank you for taking the time to post them. I've wondered about the tuna at the Plaza and it's nice to see it described so well . Have you had the tuna at CHH and it so which one do you prefer?
Looking forward to F&W. Be there in a week!
