We are just back from a wonderful trip to WDW.
Here are my good and bad food reviews-

1900 Park Fare Dinner-
We did this our first night. It was okay. It's a pretty restuarant and we did enjoy the salad and meat selections. They had a sweet potato mash that was delicous, but we didnt care for any of the other side dishes. I didnt care for the strawberry soup everyone raves about-tasted like a melted slushie to me. The dessert area was okay-I would have preferred more cakes/pies that tarts and cookies. The kids enjoyed the ice cream station. Characters were Cinderella, Prince, Suzy, Perella and Fairy Godmother (lobby only). We didnt feel rushed with the characters as in other resturants. It was my daughter's birthday so they had a cupcake for her and a plastic placemat that she could keep. I thought it would be the characters that sang to her, but it was only the waitress.
Grade B-

Donald's Breakasouraus-
We LOVED this place. It was our second time going here and it did not disappoint. We even had the same great server-Billy! The servers all do funny gags and tricks and the characters Donald, Mickey, Goofy and Pluto spent just enough time at our tables are were spaced out, unlike other placed where all the characters come one after another. The food selection was excellant. We espcially ennjoyed the chocolate chip pancakes and breakfast pizza. The had a nice fruot/miffun/bagel/donut area and boxes of cereal (we snuck a few in our backpack for later in the week..ssh dont tell anyone)
Its the least expensive brekafast buffet and a great deal we thought.
Grade-A+

Hoop Dee Doo-
Our third time seeing this and it is still as funny as ever. We love the show and since we were at the 9:30 seating it wasnt too full and we got lots of attention from the performers. We LOVE the bread and butter (I think between the 6 of us we had 3 loaves). THe chicken was very good and so were the ribs. We dont care for the corn (they could leave out the onions). Beans were good and they even brought out mac n cheese for our little guy (age 2). I liked the strawberry shortcake :) We had beer and sangeria, which our waitress brought to us in pitchers when we asked for refills. She was such a great server that my husbnad said he wanted to marry her (she was about 65!) and we gave her an extra tip. We were all laughing all the way home. Well worth the money
Grade-A+

Cosmic Rays dinner-
NEVER AGAIN! THis place was so unorganized you put your order in and then wait FOREVER for you overpriced meal. I thought the food was disgusting. The place was packed and just too noisy for me.
Grade-F

50's Prime Time lunch-
First time going here, we were tired of Sci-Fi. I wasnt sure if my husband would care for the type of food but her loved it. Our server wasnt too harsh, just some light kidding. She didnt make us stand in the corner or anything. I got a vanialla milkshake which was out of this world! Rela vaniall bean ice cream in the silver shaker. My husband got a chocalate shake which was also good. Kids got the ligth up ice cube drinks which they loved. I got the meat loaf and husband got pot roast so we could share. Both were good, but we really liked the pot roast. Kids got hot dogs and mac n cheese-both okay. Kids split a make your own sundae but I had to get the SMORES. YUMMY!!!!! I was pleasantly surprised by the restuarant. Just whish it wasnt so expensive.
Grade-A-

Cinderella Royal Breakfast-
This was our second and LAST time doing the castle breakfast. I will never get up at 6am to make a PS for this one. I know being in the castle is awesome but the food is NOT.Dried up french toast sticks and barely cooked bacon does not make for happy kids. The stuffed blintz thing was okay but is not worth the price. The princesses all came around at the same time-wish they could space it out more. We saw Cindy, Belle, Aurora, Mary Poppins and Snow White. We were all so tired and sweaty from getting up at 7am to drive to MK, take a tram, take the monorail, get through security, get through the ticket line, walk as fast as we can to the castle to make it to our 8:25 PS, we just didnt enjoy iy.
Grade-C-

Epcot Norway Breakfast-
Our first time at this princess breakfast with Belle, Aurora, Snow White, Jasmine and Mulan. I really wanted to try it it. The food was slightly better than the Castle brekafast but not by much. Instead of dried up french toast sticks you got dried up waffles. The hash browns and sausage we enjoyed. The princesses were a little more spread out so at least you could eat between autographs. I just wish there was an easier way to get to it without walking the entire FW area of Epcot. Probably would do this one agin either.
Grade-B-

Le'Cellier dinner-
WOW! This place was excellant!! We had a excellant and hot waiter named Josh. The cheese soup and pretezel bread were awesome like evryone says. I had the 7oz filet with cream cheese mashed potatoes (TOO GOOD!!) and my hubbie had a garlic chicken dish and lobster tail which he loved. Kids had steak and chicken nuggtes, also good. We were all too full for dessert unfortunately. I would definately return, much better than Alfredos which we ate at last time.
Grade-A

Roaring Forks at WL-
We ate quite a few breakfasts and lunched at Roaring Forks. The food quality has gone down since our last trip in 10/01. The philly steak sandwiches were so dry and the hot dogs overcooked. We did like the desserts!! My little guy (age 2) only would eat a hot with no buns or fries. The normal price for a hot dog with fries was $5, they only took off 50 cents my order. I paid $4.50 for a hot dog (no bun, no fries) Jeez-I could have bought a whole package or two at the grocery store for that price!
Grade-C

Anyway, although we had a few bombs, Donalds, Hoop Dee Doo. 50s and Le Celleier more than made up for them!!
 
Thanks for the great reviews, it is always fun to read reports from WDW lovers. You made Donald's Breakfast sound great. We have been thinking about doing this for quite awhile, maybe on our trip in Dec. we will have to give this a try.
 
We like 50s Prime Time too. I have never tried Le Cellier before but plan on making a PS (if you can) for our next trip. Annmarie
 
I'll definitely be on the lookout for Josh :)


WOW--we have a 8:25 PS at Cindy's as well --
sounds like it's going to be a mad dash!!!


I wonder if we got to the gates around 7:45 they'll take pity on us and let us by?
 

I love the fries at Cosmic Ray's.
 
Hey, thanks so much for the reviews!

We have done sci-fi every time for the last 3 times.. we are READY for a change! I hope they harass the heck outta my dh! My friend's family just got back from WDW. She said they loved PT, and that her kids thought it was hilarious when the waitress approached the table and looked at their dad (who was checking out the desserts on the viewfinder) and got onto his case about looking at desserts when he hadn't even touched his green beans! Glad to hear the food was good. Ambiance only goes so far...

Just made our PS for HDDR... we can't wait! (But alas we must... for another 11 mos!) :(

Have been wondering about Donald's... I think my nephew would enjoy that. Had seen many mixed reviews, but you certainly made it sound good!

And I am reallllly looking forward to Le Cellier!! :bounce:

Thanks again!
 
Thanks for the great dining review! LeCellier is one of DW and my favorites. Can't wait for our next visit.
 
FFerret-definatley get there early so you wont be running like we were! I thought I had allowed enough time-but I guess not!

Definately try Donald's-there was something for everyone.

And keep an eye out for Josh at Le'Cellier-what a cutie. My husband got a little mad at the attention I was giving him, so my joke the rest of the week was "honey-I was just JOSHing you" ;)
 
JBurke, that's so funny! If we try Le Cellier, I just might have to ask for good old Josh!;)

You really sold me on Donald's. Some of my favorite characters and good food? All for less than Chef Mickey's? I think we'll be making a PS. Thanks for the wonderful reviews.
 
Thanks for the great reviews. I especially liked LeCellier and Donalds Breakfastosaurus. We love LeCellier, it's a must do on every trip. We have a PS already for Thanksgiving dinner there. We're trying Donald's for the first time and are really lookinfg forward to it. We are also trying 50's Prime Time and I'm glad to hear your waitress was more subdued. I know the girls and I will love it but I'm worried about DH. He really doesn't like to be bothered while he eats. He loves the characters coming around but I'm not sure how he would react to being picked on etc.

We had a similar experience with CRT last Dec. and our trying the Norway one this trip. We are staying at the Swan so it should be a little less travel time since we can enter through the International Gateway.

Thanks again:D
 
Wonderful reviews ~ Thanx for sharing!!!
 
Great reviews! Thanks for all the details! We loved LeCellier too!
