Although Dh asked if he should breakout the camera for pictures to add to the food porn thread, I just wanted to dig in...sorry
9/25 - Spoodles - The perfect start to our vacation. There were 10 of us so we pretty much tried everything. The salmon and steaks were impressively thick, and the sauce on the steak was yummy. I had the fettucine with shrimp and scallops (the server gave us the addons with the free dining). I did get a picture of dd's make your own sundae
9/26 - Tony's Town Square - Disappointing. The food was not all that great (the breadsticks were the best part...they were yummy) The server gave us a front of the line pass to any attraction because the service was slow, but that is not why we were disappointed. The food just was not that great. Dh says they didn't even need the pass as there were no lines after dinner anywhere.
9/27 - Marrakesh - This was good. Dh liked the belly dancer
Mom loves the cuisine (and it is where I was born). The shisk kabobs were so yummy! I ordered the sampler dessert, but Dh's crepes atlas was better (although I'd ask for less honey)
9/28 - 'Ohana - Despite returning to the room in the afternoon for a break (kids wouldn't nap), my 4 yr old had a major meltdown so I couldn't really enjoy dinner until Dh had eaten (I took her out of the restaurant so as to not annoy other diners until she calmed down but even then she just sat under the table). The meat was pretty dry, except the steak it was yummy. I loved the wings and the potatos and salad. The shrimp did nothing for me. The dessert was very good though. And our server was awesome.
Here are dd's doing the coconut races and hula hoop contest (pre meltdown)
9/29 - Akershus - Not impressed with the food, although Dh seemed happy with it. The princesses however were wonderful. Dd4 couldn't eat she was so excited so she ate fruit loops for dinner back at the resort. We saw Belle, Aurora, Jasmine, Ariel and Cinderella.
9/30 - Le Cellier - The perfect ending to our vacation. The cheese soup and pretzel bread were very good. The filet was very tender and the baby loved the mashed potatoes. We were too full to enjoy the chocolate mousse and sorbet.
Overall the dining plan was great (it was FREE how bad could it be). I loved seeing the amount our bill was before it was zeroed out. However, I probably wouldn't pay for it. Half the time we just weren't up for appetizers/desserts (I blame the heat). And usually Dh would have preferred a counter service so as not to kill park time.
After our dinner at Spoodles (bill was over $400) Dh asked me how much the dining plan had cost and I told him it was free he said 'I don't feel so bad paying so much for the room now'
We did have extra snack/counter service credits left at the end even though we bought waters everyday.
