Hello All -
Wanted to post a quick rundown of our Disney dining since we seemed to eat our way thru the World this trip and I have to go back on strict Atkins as of today!!!
Epcot - Lunch at Chefs de France - prix fixe lunch - creme Brulee recipe on its' way...
MGM - SciFi Drive-in - I concur with the posts of most othere Dis'er's - we were absolutely blown away by the setting but had mediocre food. Server was terrific and I just regarded the prices as having paid entirely for ambience!
- PrimeTime Cafe - FINALLY got here and witnessed DS(11) finish his green beans for the first time just to get dessert! Definitely not-to-be-missed for anyone who hasn't been here - and the food and the prices felt fair, except for the kids' electric ice cubes. "Mom" was fabulous and I asked her more than once to please come home with me! I had Pot roast and DSS(27) had fried chicken. He was impressed by the mashed potatoes with the skins til I told him they were still "fake".Also "Mom" confessed that she thought Mickey couldn't afford the Fiestaware for serving our dinner because of breakage - oh well!
- Don't get me started on the fact that Mama Melrose closed at 5:30 PM on Tuesday and 7:30 on Sunday - and also that H & V is clearly diverting all their walkins to PrimeTime - and rather rudely turning people away in good numbers - had this happen twice.
- Absolutely no need for the Fantasmic dinner packages offf season - I did this twice last year in August and October for Brown Derby and H & V and that was a good decision - but Tuesday nite we walked in 5 minutes before showtime and sat in the 4th row!
Contemporary -
No visit would be complete w/o a visit to Chef Mickey's - still great value and character interaction. Unfortunately we had a weird server and I did speak to the manager about upon leaving. Also noted that they use the leftover marinated mushrooms in the chcken-pasta dish - waaaay too much - and that the fruit flan has that same "creme brulee" filling I loved so much at Chefs de France. Atmosphere can be everything!!
Wilderness Lodge - where we stayed -
Whispering Canyon Cafe - our second visit - always lots of fun if that's your mood and style - I admire the servers' energy! Food was fine - we ordered the skillet this time and it was, by this time, all starting to taste the same!!!They've added a new Caramel Apple Pie which was very good.[
I think that's about it, unless I get into detail about Roaring Forks or Pinocchio Haus - anyone has any questions or comments please feel free - I am going to go make an Atkins "sandwich" now and hit the gym!
