Just returned from a 7 day trip to the YC for our 10th wedding anniversary and dd's 5th b-day. We had such a great time. Here are some reviews for all you foodies out there.
Cast Me, dh, dd9, dd7, dd5 Dining Plan
April 26 1900 PF Dinner
We had 4:30 ADR's and I was a little upset that even though the dining room was just about empty, we were still seated in the back room and not the big main room. I asked the hostess if it was because we were using the dining plan and she said no, everyone is using the dining plan now. So, we sat and enjoyed our meal anyway. This is a must for us every trip. Our server told us we could have smoothies and milk shakes for our drinks so I had a Berry Smoothie and the dd's had choc. milk shakes (which they said were ok). My Smoothie was great. The buffet was excellent as always. We sampled the salmon, portobello ravioli, assorted pastas, shrimp, and bread pudding with vanilla sauce (to die for!!!). Cindy, Prince, and the mice were very gracious and talked with my girls for a bit before posing for pictures.

April 27 10th Wedding Anniversary Day
Lunch at MGMRosie's All American Cafe
We chose to eat here because Beauty and the Beast was starting soon and we wanted to be close. I had the chicken tenders, water, and apple pie (yuck), dh had cheeseburger, apple juice, dorito's, dd's all had mac N' cheese, water, and choc. cake. The food here was ok but I wouldn't eat here again.

Dinner at Epcot Coral Reef
We were seating close to the tank and had many Best Wishes given to us from staff members. We were given a menu that had "Happy 10th Anniversary" written on it. That just made our day.
Our server was fantastic. He treated us like royalty. We never wanted for anything. The children were even allowed to order an appy from the main menu. I had shrimp cocktail, crab cake for my entree. Dh had lobster soup, and the chicken (I don't know why he ordered this. I think he forgot where we were.) We both chose the Chocolate Wave for dessert which he brought out on one plate with a choc. strip with Best Wishes written on it. That was a nice touch. 2 dd's had caesar salads, grilled chicken and the youngest dd had lobster soup with she loved (she's a soup girl) and mac n' cheese (she didn't like it, but we thought it was tasty. They all had the build your own sundaes. I think they spend more time making them than eating them.

April 28
We decided to go to SSR to check out the resort and try the Artist's Palette. This place is absolutely beautiful. We enjoyed the food just as much. I had BBQ Pork Flatbread and Hugs n' Kisses cheesecake (delicious). Dh had the chicken and artichoke flatbread. This was yummy as well, I had to take a piece. He had the same cheesecake. DD's all had mini hot dogs with a muffin for dessert. Looking forward to eating here several times in Sept.

Dinner at Epcot Alfredo's
I just have to say one thing...NEVER AGAIN!!
Our server was very rude. When he came out to greet us he made me shuffle through my stuff to show him our dining plan cards in the lobby before he would show us our table. I have never had this happen ever. It was a little embarrassing too. Then after we were seated he handed us our menu's and said "So what would your like a couple of salads?" Excuse me!!! We replied that we would decide when we look over the menu. I did talk to a manager on the way out, but now looking back at it we should have walked out right there. It was a waste of a meal. Our server was absent for most of the meal. He never checked on us. My Dh sat with an empty glass for half the meal. We had our dessert order taken by a women server and she told us we could only choose choc. mousse or the sampler which would have to be split by both dh and myself. After questioning this and telling her that in July when we were there we could choose anything on the dessert menu, I just sad bring us all mousse then. I think a manager overheard this and then she came back and said she was corrected and I was right. So we did get to choose anything we wanted from the dessert menu. I'm not going to waste time talking about our meals because it was just aweful.

I'll finish the rest of the reviews tomorrow. I really need some sleep after all the eating we did this past week.
