Here is a list of all the places my sister and I ate. This is the first time we were on the free dining plan and everything went very smoothly. Everything was delicious and we were given very good service.

Wolfgang Puck Express: very good. Can't believe this was considered a counter service meal. They actually had waiters to serve you. Despite it being a counter service, we left a small tip. My sister and I were watching, throughout our meal, to see if tips were being left. We did not see any but felt they deserved it. They served us our meal and asked if we wanted refills on our drinks. We had the rosemary chicken with mashed potatoes(I think these are the best potatoes I've ever had), chicken tortilla melt, chocolate chip cookie and creme brulee for dessert.

Tutto Italia Restaurant: very good food again and excellent service. We asked about refills on our soda and he said it was up to the waiter. Of course, he obliged and refilled our sodas several times. Are we not to get free refills when on the dining plan? Just curious. Very friendly waiters and several had come over to our table to ask if everything was o.k. We had the lasagna, granchio(penne pasta with crabmeat), chocolate hazelnut torte, and the Copetta sotto bosco(berries, gelato, and chocolate sauce)

Columbia Harbour House: I had read somewhere about eating upstairs here and when approaching the stairs, a CM kept motioning for me to sit in an area downstairs. I don't know what that was all about. I watched several people go upstairs when the CM left. Anyway, we had the tuna sandwich, fish basket, apple crisp, and chocolate cake

Yak & Yeti: This meal was wonderful. We had a really nice waiter. We sat upstairs. The place filled up really quickly and was packed by the time we left. We had the stir-fry beef and broccoli, crispy mahi mahi, mango pie, and fried wontons. These were both our waiter's favorite desserts and I can see why. These were delicious!

Sunshine Seasons: Both of us got the ham and salami sandwiches. The bread was extra good. We were told that we could only get a side order of chips or dessert. I opted for the chips and my sister got the butterfinger cheesecake. Certain other entrees came with the main and side plus you could get a dessert. So, I'm not sure why we couldn't get chips and dessert. I guess it all depends on what you order.

ABC Commissary: Both of us had cheeseburgers, ff, chocolate mousse(delicious!!) and strawberry parfait

Cape May Cafe: ate here before. Everything was good as usual The waitress was a little slow in removing our plates though

Liberty Tree Tavern: ate here before and loved the shortcake. Unfortunately they changed the shortcake and wasn't as good. I mentioned it to the waiter and he said that they change their menu often. We both had the turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, and gravy, green beans. This was good and alot of food.

Flame Tree BBQ & Pizzafari: Pizza was good and my sister had the salad which she said was very good. We both sat in the Flame Tree BBQ area looking out at Expedition Everest.

Boma- ate here for breakfast. Alot to choose from and tried some different dishes which we found surprisingly good. Love their fruit juice

We mostly used our snack credits on muffins to share for breakfast the next morning. Used some credits for drinks and Mickey ice cream bars. I got my ice cream bar for free since their system was down and couldn't use my card for the snack credit. The CM told me to just take it :thumbsup2

:sigh: I long for a Mickey ice cream bar.
SOunds like you had great food!
 
We did have great food and I forgot to mention that we both had a mango smoothie at Japan. It was delicious! Also, great blueberry and banana nut muffins at Mara food court.
 
sometimes Columbia Harbour House has the upstairs for people that have gone on the Keys to the Kingdom tour. We had to go upstairs when we went on this tour.....
Sounds like you had a great time too....

Now I had one of these ice cream bars and I am not sure I liked the type of chocolate they had on it......I usually get an ice cream bar in our town and I like them .....

thanks for your reviews

We were also impressed with WP Express. This one is really just a small step down from a TS restaurant. Funny though, when we ate there they wouldn't let us have the creme brulee for dessert even though it wasn't any more expensive that the Yogurt we ended up having. Did you eat at the one in the MarketPlace or the one attached to WP Cafe?
 
Funny you asked that. My sister and I didn't realize that there were two locations until we walked passed the second one. I believe we ate at the one in the Marketplace. I think we ate at the one nearest to the entrance as you entered after getting off the bus.
