Just Back...50's ESPN Garden Grill Tony's Crystal Chef Mickey B/D Rainforest

[diskids2]

and Planet Hollywood....as well as assorted counter service.....Any Q's let me know.

My reviews:

50's.....I am convinced that the rating of this restaurant depends on your waiter/waitress....We had a really great funny one who played the part of Mom right from the beginning. That made it an experience. Food was mediocre to say the least....We all, Family of four, had the fried chicken. Plenty of food...but just ok...and no one but me ate the "greens". If you don't like being told not to put your elbows on the table....skip this restaurant.

Crystal Palace....I love Winnie the Pooh so I guess I will be partial to it. The food is better then 50's. There is a carving station and the desserts are pretty good. I don't like the ice cream....it's like frozen ice milk...if you know what I mean. Winnie, Tigger, Piglet, Eeyore. Very noisy and busy. Keep in mind I was there week before Easter.

ESPN....I think the dining plan has affected this restaurant....there were alot more choices when I ate there 4 years ago. Basically burgers and chicken wings...but I had the turkey and brie sandwich on grain bread....I really like it ...had cranberries in it too. If you like sports or have anyone in your party who does....they will enjoy this restaurant for the atmosphere. Again food is mediocre.

Chef Mickey's....We ate breakfast and dinner there. Minnie....Donald....Goofy...Pluto and Mickey. Dinner was much better then breakfast. I enjoy fresh eggs...so maybe that is why. Scrambled eggs runny....Fruit pretty good....Dinner.....carving station good....liked the pasta.....and salmon.

Fresh at the Dolphin.....Best restaurant I ate at all week....everything fresh ... made to order....fresh squeezed nectar juice combinations....really loved it.

Garden Grill.....I think this was the last time for this restaurant.....Steak was dry.....chicken kind of greasy.

Rainforest Cafe.....Atmosphere fun....food just ok....by this time I was having my fill of burgers and chicken fingers.....I ordered a salad. Paid to have a reservation ....we walked right in with a big hour wait in the non reservation line.

Planet Hollywood.....Kids loved the VIP Platter which is a combination of different appetizers....they went alone....table for 2 was only a 30 min wait...table of 4...the wait was 1 1/2 hours....DH and I ate at the French bakery....yes I had two desserts for dinner...YUMMMMMMMMMM and we split a ham and cheese quiche.

If I forgot one....let me know and if you have questions about counter service....we ate at the columbia harbor house....pecos bills......a few of the expresso carts....the muffins were great!.....main street bakery.....boardwalk bakery......picabu's....the fountain......my stomach hurts....LOL

We are going in Sept and are doing Chef Mickey for Dinner and Breakfast. I was wondering if the dinner is worth it or not. I have done the breafast before, but never the dinner. Also, what types of food is at the dinner, can you get the meat at the carving station well done? Thanks so much..

I was able to get the meat well done because they had an "end" saved for that and asked if I wanted well done. As far as the food....they had salad items...tossed salad, etc.....prime rib and ham....broccoli....penne pasta in a cream sauce with mushrooms...salmon.....ribs with a fruity (mango) glaze...they were pretty good...my favorite....also they had....kids chicken, mac and cheese, pizza...for dessert...key lime pie, brownie, big cookies, sundae bar, chocolate mouse mikey's on oreo cookies, apple crisp, pecan pie.

I liked the dinner.....but I like the Crystal Palace dinner buffet better...if I was comparing the two. Like your plans we did the breakfast and dinner and I wished we didn't..... simply because I would have wanted to try a different restaurant and I would have given up the breakfast in hindsite....I hate runny eggs....LOL!

Would love to hear your Tony's review!

Tonys: My family ordered chicken parm and I had the seafood over linguine. The chicken parm was just "ok" almost had that pressed chicken feel to it. The seafood was fresh two of each item on the plate. The linguine was "over cooked" to my taste. The sauce was just "ok" not horrible though.

We also ordered the mozzarella cheese with tomatoes. This was actually quite good and ALOT.

For dessert we had the dessert sampler which was the only dessert offered. The four of us ordered two of them. It was ok. I mean....I'm used to Arthur Avenue....Little Italy....Bronx pasteries....so I guess I have high expectations. But they certainly were not disgusting.

I would go there again if I was looking for a TS in the MK....I don't like Liberty. But I really like eating at the hotel TS restaurants much more then the theme parks.


Hope this helps.

I am SO excited to eat at the Prime Time Cafe! I have had the same experience with the waiters and waitresses. My husband is a Disney World virgin and has no idea what he is getting into with this 50's Prime Cafe! Thanks for the review!
