Just got back, we were in WDW for 4 nights, not to long but we had a lot of great food. We were on the dining plan, so got to try tons of stuff and I didn't even gain a pound, it's a miracle.

5-17
To start our trip off we ate at Whispering Canyon for dinner. Our server was very tame but we had fun watching others have jokes played on them. The resort is absolutely beautiful. Dh and I got the skillet, so no appetizers. Everything was pretty good, nothing wonderful though. We didn't get seconds, the skillet we had was plenty. Nothing really stuck out to us as being wonderful, the best thing about the restaurant is the atmosphire. We would probably try it again since it kept the kids entertained so we could eat. The kids and I also had the milk shakes, which were really good. I had chocolate, the kids both had strawberry. Dh got the chocolate cake for desset and it wasn't anything special. I would rate this place, B service, A atmosphire, B- food

Here is my dd enjoying the stickhorse race.

5-18 MK
The next morning before we were off to the MK, we had breakfast at Chef Mickey's. I wasn't impressed at all, we had eaten dinner there last year and it was great. I liked the donuts the best, everything else was cold and just wasn't appetizing. The character interaction is good, but Mickey never came to our table and we waited for awhile for him, told our server and still nothing, so we left and figured we would catch him in the park, which we did. Service: C Food: D Atmosphire: B

Lunch I didn't eat but the kids and dh ate at Pinocchio Village Haus, they enjoyed it for counter service. The kids had Mac and cheese and dh had pizza. He said it was pretty good. I really can't rate it since I didn't eat, but everything looked good and they were happy.

Dinner: Pecos Bills, more counter service and it was yummy. I loved making my own burger and the kids even liked the burgers and they normally don't care for burgers. I pilled mine high with mushrooms, lettuce, pickles ect and loved the cheese for the fries. Maybe I was just starving, but it was wonderful. Food A

5-19
The following day we drove to Cocoa beach and went to the beach and had lunch there, but for dinner we ate at Olivia's at Old Key West....

Olivia's: Talk about nice, I love the Old Key West resort. Olivia's was wonderful and I remembered to take pictures. So here they are....

Appetizer Crab Cakes, very good. I ate 2 of them, just loved it. Dh got the wings, no pic, I didn't care for them, he liked them ok.

I ordered the pasta for my meal and it was wonderful. It was light enough that I wasn't totally full after it, I only ate half ds ate the rest he loved it. Everything in the pasta was very fresh.

Rating: Service A Food A+

Epcot 5-20
The following day was our Epcot day, we ate breakfest at the Fountain bakery and it was yummy, I got the cheese pastry, dh got the fruit croussant. The kids shared a fruit cup and ate some of ours.

Lunch: Akershus Royal Banquet Hall I was worried about this one, wasn't sure we would like it. It ended up being very good and the princess' were wonderful. We saw Jazmine, Aurora, Ariel, Moulan and Bell. The cheese, fruit, eggs, ect was all really good, ds loved the mickey pasta salad. For our meals I ordered the pasta, I was in a pasta mood this trip. It was very good, I would order it again for sure. Dh got the lamb and he didn't like it at all, he said it tasted like fat. The desserts weren't anything special, I didn't like the tacture of the rice pudding at all. The cheesecake was the best one, the kids liked the chocalate cake thing though, it was like a little debbie snack cake. We lost our autograph book here but someone turned it into the main park lost and found, so we were very relieved to get it back.
Service: B+ Food: B Atmosphire: A

Dinner: Coral Reef, very nice restaurant, we originally requested a aquariam table but after seeing that people were waiting hours for one, we decided to just take first available. Glad we did we were seated within 5 minutes and had a great view. I got the blue martini with the glowing cube in it and loved the drink, I better have for that price. For appetizers we got shrimp cocktail and lobster soup and they were both wonderful, the soup was awesome. For dinner I ordered the flounder and it was just ok, dh got the strip steak and it was very good, cooked medium rare and melted in our mouth. The kids got pizza, they were happy. For dessert I got the wave, dh the California gold. I loved the wave, dh said the orange dessert was ok. The kids shared the build your own sundae and really enjoyed it. We really enjoyed this meal but probably wouldn't return, at least not for awhile because we want to try other Epcot meals.
Service: B- Food: B Atmosphire: B+

5-21 day we left
We had breakfast at Old Port Royal, just had waffles and it was good. We really enjoyed the carribean beach resort and would definantly stay there again, hopefully for longer next time.

Thanks for reading! :cheer2: :cheer2: :cheer2:
 
Thank you for the review. We're still debating on Akershus. Our dd's are 10+15 but the youngest still loves them. CRT didn't thrill us. dd15 is very adventerous with dining, so she'd probably like it.
Great pics too!
 
Thanks for the reviews. We are staying at Old Key West, so I am glad to read about Olivias.

We are doing Chef Mickeys, which is normally a favorite. I hope its not cold when we go!
