We ate at ESPN after checking in at the Boardwalk and the wait wasn't too bad (Sat. 12/20). We always order way too much food. The Macho Nachos are always good and so were the chicken wings. We should have just had that (after driving from MD for 14 hours straight, we weren't really that hungry). DS's 14 and 16 ordered crispy chicken sanwiches and enjoyed them, but couldn't finish all and the fries too. DH and I split a club wrap. It was good, but I didn't know it was going to be cold, so I was a little disappointed. DS 9 got ribs and loved them. DD was the smartest and just shared everything that was on the table. Our server was great.

Electric Umbrella (12/21) for lunch. The menu has changed since July (my DD noticed there was no pizza that the kids usually get). I got the black bean soup which was good (it was a chilly day), DS 16 got the fruit cup and chicken fingers (good). DS9 and DD12 got mac and cheese and liked it. DS14 got chicken sandwich, fries and DH got fruit cup and ate what DS14 couldn't finish (I don't know why they think they need fries at every meal)

Le Cellier (12/21) for dinner. I just want to say that the cheese soup and breadsticks that everyone talks about here was delicious, but that was all I would return for. I was disappointed with the atmosphere and the food choices. DS14 ordered the $25.00 filet mignon (DS16 rubbed that in his face the rest of the trip) which came in a huge BOWL (!?) with mashed potatoes underneath (strange display, I thought). It didn't come with any salad or veggies. DH got prime rib and enjoyed it. I got stuffed peppers (stuffed with polenta) on a large RECTANGLE (?!) plate. It was good, but nothing special. DD12 and DS9 got spaghetti, nice size portion and DS16 got a burger off the kid's menu. The cm's were pleasant, but the service wasn't anything special. For the price, it was not worth the time we spent there.

We never did go to our p.s. at Ohana's because the kids wanted to go to the MK instead of having a non park day. The rest of our trip was fast food - Columbia Harbor house that we always like (veggie chili in a bread bowl, fish sticks, mac and cheese and FRIES). Egg roll station in Adventureland is always my must do, even though the veggies inside are not crisp in the least. Ate hot dogs and large pretzels in Fantasmic!

The last morning (12/24) I wanted to see the AKL, so we walked around there and ate in The Mara (?). We got mac and cheese (almost as often as fries), sausage pizza, ceasar salad pizza, bread sticks and all was very good. The funny thing was that we order it all and my ceasar salad pizza wasn't ready, so they gave me a number to put on the table and someone would bring it to me. Well, we sat down everyone (except me) was eating what they had when the server came and, not only gave me my pizza, but had duplicates of everyone else's! I felt bad and said that we already got those, but she put them on the table anyway since they made the mistake. My DS16 said that it was the first meal we actually got our money's worth at Disney. Unfortunately, we couldn't finish it all and took it in to-go-boxes. We never did eat it, which was such a waste, but we went to spend Christmas with the relatives and never had a chance.

Anyway, we had a great trip (too short).
 
Thanks for posting your reviews.

Had to laugh at your 16 yo teasing the 14yo about the filet. Got to love sibling rivalry!
 
Thanks for sharing your reviews. Sorry to hear that you were a little disappointed in Le Cellier, it's one of my favorites.
