Just back from our great trip. Spent Tues nite thru Sunday at Disney, POFQ... we were on the deluxe plan, myself, DH and 17yo DD. We have been two other times.
I think the plan worked well for us. We ate like pigs tho and by the end were just too full. Same as alot of others have said--it is alot of food and you need to self regulate--easier said than done! We like to sit tho for lunch and dinner, so that part was good. We probably didnt sit more than 90 minutes for any meal, much less time for lunches. Sorry no pics this time. We were on time or early for every ADR and got seated immediately ever time. None of the restaurants were packed, at least early when we generally ate....
We ate at: Raglan Road dinner--- really enjoyed it, the crumble for dessert was the best all week. Had: calamari, not chowder, sirloin, mixed grill, tomato soup, the pudding and dunbrody kiss.
Breakfasts were all at the hotel, except Boma and Crystal Palace. Both of those were good.. CP was really good--I think it's the best buffet at Disney.
50s Prime Time--alot of fun. Waiter was relaxed, which I was hoping for. We had : fried chicken (awesome), meat loaf, fish sandwich, cobbler, sundae and smores. All good, the fish sandwich had too much sauce, but DD liked it.
Flying Fish-- Had Tomato salad, snapper, shellfish app, 2 of the lobster specials (yes, included on the plan), key lime ie, creme brulee. The food was very good. This is the only place I would say the service was not good. Very slow--not the pacing, but long waits for water, clearing of dirty dishes, etc. Surprising for this place, I was disappointed. Liked the food tho, and would return again.
Chefs De France--went here to see Remy. Worth the wait, he came during dessert. Wasnt at the table long, but he was really cute. We had: macaroni and cheese, escargot, onion soup, salmon, lobster bisque, the chicken, creme brulee. Good food, nothing wildly fantastic. Not sure I'd return after having eatn here twice already...
Blue Zoo--ok, this place was one I wanted to try after reading about it on the boards. It was fine but would not return. Expensive. We shared the raw platter, and the miso cod. I added a stone crab claw which was a mistake. $14 for one--not worth it at all. Otherwise the food was good. Cod was nice, DH really enjoyed the spinach with it. Good ceviche, and raw tuna... Nice once, thats it.
Liberty Tree--This place was fun. Had pot roast and kids macaroni and cheese, clam chowder, seasonal crisp. Good food, especially the pot roast.
Citricos--one of my fav places at Disney. Nice atmosphere, great service, good food. Had the tuna appetizer, short ribs (tasted like my Liberty pot roast), sauteed shrimp app, swordfish, steak, banana torte, lemon cheesecake. Everything was really good. Liked the short ribs but they really did taste like the pot roast at Liberty Tree!! Would definitely go back.
Yak and Yeti--good food- had the steak/shrimp--steak was cooked perfectly, salmon, very nice, and lo mein. DD like that alot. The waitress was pretty kooky tho. She wanted our whole order at once, including dessert, kept saying- Ill be right back with that, and kept launching into long stories about living near MK and the fireworks scaring the wild animals into her yard. I would return but hopefully have another server!
Which leaves Woflgang Puck Cafe. We went at 8 on a Saturday nite after La Nouba. The place was packed solid. We were seated immediately however, in the glass room--so dark I used my iphone flashlight app to read the menu. Alternated between hot and cold in there. The waiter was ok but service and pacing were terrible---brought DD sushi entree with the appetizers. Brought my steak out with another tables appetizers. When it came back the steak was cold. Had to send it back. Overall the food was good but service was awful and would not return.
Any questions--fire away!
