Seems like we did a lot of eating, doesn't it? Well we did and we enjoyed every minute of it except.....
Cinderella's Castle - all I can say is yuk, yuk and double yuk!!! In my opinion, there is absolutely nothing redeming about this place. First of all, we had to wait 50 minutes with a PS. When we were finally seated and served our drinks, the iced tea tasted like the sulphur water they give you at Disney. How can you screw up a steak? They seasoned with something gross and served it over a mash of some sort of roots. On the side was a serving of yesterdays asparagus with something on it. My DD had the mussels which were the size of small fish, the smell of which made me gag. My DS had the prime rib (which he liked) and his friend had the lamb shank (which she liked but could not identify nor would not try the side dish). Service was incredibly slow, otherwise I would have returned by dish. All I can say is don't waste your money. The only fun part of this was watching Cinderella entertain all the little ones in the lobby.
Whispering Canyon Cafe - What a pleasant surprise this turned out to be. Our first time here and will definitely return. Although no one got the skillet dinner, we all enjoyed our entrees - from the ribs and chicken to the meatloaf and soup. The breads were great and the sides terrific. No one had room for dessert! The "antics" were not as bad as I had read, but it was still a fun place. A definite keeper.
Cape May Cafe - This was also a surprise since the last time we tried it we were all less than impressed. The selection here is quite varied, from steamed clams, mussels and shrimp to carved prime rib. The sides, soups and salads were plentiful and the corn bread and biscuits superb. I only glanced at the dessert table, but it did look yummy (cheesecake, chocolate cake, creme caramel, etc). Well worth the money and the trip.
Flying Fish - This was our last night - celebration dinner. I think this restaurant has remained one of the consistently great places to eat on property. While some of us did get fish (crab cakes, lobster salad) most of us opted for the steak or the ravioli. The steak was amazing! Best I've had in a long, long time. The girls also enjoyed their ravioli. We shared the banana napolean dessert which was truly one of the best desserts I've ever had. If you want to spluge, this may be the place to go.
Well, that's it for our culinary romp through Disney. Amazingly enough, we did have some time leftover to get to the parks!
