Were just back from our trip to DW and I wanted to post some reviews. Reviews below for: Earl of Sandwich (DTD), Chef Mickeys breakfast, Norway princess breakfast, Teppan Edo (EPCOT Japan), Patisserie in France (EPCOT), Crystal Palace dinner and the Pirate and Princess Party.
First off, we stayed off property at the Fairfield Cypress Palms and really, really liked it. Great property, clean and spacious rooms, close to Disney and lots of shopping and restaurants. Wed highly recommend this complex.
Earl of Sandwich delicious! We went here for lunch while at DTD and we were so stuffed that we had to cancel our ADR at Whispering Canyon for that evening. It must have been the oh-so-good panini-style bread that they serve the sandwiches on. OMG sooooo good! I had a tuna sandwich with soda and chips, the kids had peanut butter and jelly and I cant remember what DH had. We also had 2 of the packaged cookies the kids shared chocolate chip and DH and I shared the sugar cookie. Yummy! We will definitely go back to EOS next time we are at Disney.
Chef Mickeys we had our usual good breakfast at CM. We love the variety at this breakfast and the character interaction. We go here every year and although it is an expensive breakfast, we always book a later ADR so that it doubles as lunch. The kids love the napkin twirling!
Norway Princess Breakfast while we enjoyed seeing the princesses, we dont think well return to this restaurant. The food was just okay (not as many choices as Chef Mickeys) and the princesses were EXTREMELY rushed. The restaurant is big, so I understand that they have to keep moving, but I was still disappointed that they were gone so quickly. It was DDs birthday and we wanted something special for her, so it fit the bill, but I was somewhat disappointed. For those who are interested in what princesses we saw, Belle was at the door for pictures and greeting and Jasmine, Ariel, Mulan and Sleeping Beauty came to our table.
Teppan Edo we LOVED our dinner at this restaurant. The Japanese hostesses, servers and table chef were so very gracious and kind (I love their bowing!). Our chef was a female and she was hilarious! She was very attentive, especially to our young kids (3 and 5). All of us enjoyed the chicken with veggies and rice. My kids even learned to use chopsticks! The restaurant is loud or at least it was the night we were there. It was DDs birthday dinner and they made her a little chefs hat and sang happy birthday to her and gave her a piece of their ginger cake. We will definitely go back to this restaurant and I cant wait!
Patisserie in France yum, yum, yum! We went here after dinner at TE. DH had a pralineige (a chocolate mousse-type pie/cake) and I had a napoleon (absolutely to DIE FOR with HUGE layers of cream I could cry right now because I have to wait a year to have another LOL!) Our kids shared a chocolate chip cookie. They have a great assortment of pastries and cookies plus some lunch-type foods (quiche, cheese platter, ham and cheese on a croissant). Definitely check this place out!
Crystal Palace dinner character interaction very good, food was just okay. I didnt eat one thing that made me say yum, but I found several things that were edible. Not my favorite dinner, but worth it for the kids to see Pooh and Friends.
Pirate and Princess Party we attended the PPP on January 21st and had an awesome time. The kids loved the special entryway into the MK and had fun with the treasure hunt (they received plastic necklaces and plastic gems and a black drawstring bag to put them in). Our kids dont know Jack Sparrow, so we didnt bother waiting in line to meet him. We stood in line for what we thought was Cinderella, but it ended up being just the coach and some pumpkins to take your photo in front of (Im not sure why Cindy wasnt there seemed strange to me). We waited in line for almost 40 minutes to see Ariel, but finally gave up because the line was not moving (we ended up seeing her at Norway, so that worked out well). Our main aim was not to see characters, but I was a little let down that they didnt have more princesses around (we did see all of them in the parade). The best part of the night was that we were able to walk on almost every single ride! We rode Buzz Lightyear 4 times in a row and just walked on. If your aim is to get on lots of rides, this night is for you! We will definitely go back!
Let me know if you have any questions .Id be happy to help.
