I wish I knew! I couldn't find it anywhere but Tutto Italia. Does anyone else know where to get the Italian margarita in EPCOT?
Italian margaritas ARE really tasty. I had one for the first time recently at Johnny Carino's.
Yum. I wish I had one right now!
I am going to try to get another review done tonight. Baseball season is in full swing (no pun intended) so it has been kind of crazy around here.
I was really surprised at how much we like Mama Melrose, given the fact that we didn't like it the first time we tried it. Second chances are worth it!

I'm jealous--enjoy!
Lovin' your review.
Thanks! I am sad that I only have a day left to write about! I will have to start planning another WDW trip.
It's never a good thing when you wake up on the final day of your WDW trip to a raging thunderstorm and pouring rain. All in all, it was okay because DS13 wasn't feeling that well and wanted to sleep in. As it turns out, he got even sicker the next day and came home with pneumonia. After missing a week of school, his chest x-ray just came back clear.
DS17 had plans to meet a friend from school at DHS later that morning, so we all slept in and then went to WOLFGANG PUCK EXPRESS for breakfast. I had been craving the cornflake french toast since reading the menu. So of course, that's what I ordered. That is also what DH ordered, and that kind of surprised me, since there were many other things on the menu I thought he would like. Sometimes he'll ask me to order for him in counter service places, while he gets a table, and after 18 years of marriage, you'd think I would know what he likes. Not really. He says I order what 'sounds good to me at the moment,' not him. Duh. That's because I am the one doing the ordering. Whatever. I definitely would have told him not to order the cornflake french toast at WPE, because I could have told him he wouldn't like it.
So what did we think of the cornflake french toast? Not much. The server told us that it is a bagel, sliced in thirds, dipped in the usual egg and milk french toast mixture, and dredged in cornflakes and cinnamon. It is then deep fried.
I like my french toast 'custard-y' and creamy, not hard. I knew it would be crunchy on the outside, but I thought that would contrast with the creaminess of the inside. Nope. It was hard, dry and crunchy--and a little too much on the cinnamon-y side. DH thought the same thing. The breakfast potatoes were really good, though, and the coffee was great.
DS17 ordered the egg and bacon breakfast flatbread and devoured it. DS13 had pancakes and bacon. Pancakes and bacon--all good with DS13.
We had issues that morning trying to decide what to do. We were meeting family for dinner at Ohana that night and knew we wouldn't be going to a park later. So we chose DHS. Bad decision especially at 10 a.m. It was PACKED.
Next up: Quick lunch at ESPN and later, dinner at Ohana...Kona...Ohana
Still later: A farewell at Grand Floridian Cafe

Hi Kizzy! I'm enjoying reading your reviews, they are so honest and tell the whole story. It sounds like you did a lot of research and planning to please a wide "audience" (your family), that's not an easy job! I'm sorry some places disappointed, glad you had some successes in there too!
I always thought the Wolfgang Puck Express cornflake french toast sounded good, but hearing that it is made with a bagel??? .... don't think that would work! I was expecting something more like Texas toast battered and rolled in cornflakes. Glad you warned me!

Thank you Kizzy, for your informative and interesting reviews. I have a few quick questions about changing your ADR's tho... Is it really as easy as it seems for you to get last minute reservations? How do you go about this when you're already in the park (or perhaps your resort)? Do you enlist the help of a concierge? TIA.

Wonderful reviews!!!
That's exactly what I was expecting! Definitely not a bagel. When the server was telling us about it, he was like 'you will want to make this at home, so I'll give you the recipe' and I was thinking 'uh, no I won't, but thanks anyway,' while smiling and nodding at him.
We didn't have a lot of trouble getting last minute ADR's. I had a full slate of ADR's when we arrived at WDW, and I'd say we kept about half of them. I would call Disney Dining from the room before we left for the day or on my cell to make the change. You can also call from the pay phones at the parks (you press two numbers, but I can't remember what the numbers are--Disney Dining could tell you). We didn't use the concierge for the ADR's. Sometimes we had to eat later than planned, but I was always able to get the restaurant we wanted. We were there from March 28-April 4, so while it was busy, it wasn't Easter week, so that probably helped.
Thank you!!Wonderful reviews!!!

Great reviews! We just got back yesterday and ate at some of the same places. Kona breakfast is the best! I'm laughing as I read your reviews, as my DS13 is EXACTLY like yours!!
It's such a struggle to find him something he'll eat, and I know we should probably do the "eat what we're having or you'll starve" thing, but I just can't. So he takes his vitamins and we do the best we can. He's going to sleep-over camp this summer, so that will be interesting!
Looking forward to the rest of your reviews!

It's good to know there are others like DS13! I know what you mean about the 'eat or starve' thing. The sad thing is, DS13 would really rather starve. Last time he went to camp, he ate cereal, bread and water. Oh, and one day, they had grilled cheese, so he was happy. And, he hit up the camp store for every granola bar, candy bar, bag of chips, etc., they had!
So after our huge and kind of icky breakfast at WPE, we drove to the Boardwalk and took a boat to DHS It was still raining, but the park was PACKED. This was at the end of our week and at the very beginning of the Easter week holiday, so we really saw the crowds begin to increase.
DH said he could feel the cornflake french toast in his stomach like a rock. We wandered aimlessly around DHS--FP's return times were hours later, all lines were at least 60 minutes (not that DS13 would EVER ride TOT or RnR anyway--along with being a picky eater, he won't ride roller coasters.)
We ended up taking the boat back to the Boardwalk around noon and DS13 wanted to go to ESPN, so we did.
And since we were there, we decided to order some lunch, even though we hadn't even digested the breakfast yet. DH and I had cokes and split the nachos. They were really pretty good. The brought the meat on the side and there was lots of queso and sour cream. Yummy! They were definitely big enough to share, especially after a large breakfast.
DS13 had kid's chicken strips, fries and a sundae. He loved it and played PlayStation while he ate. Relaxing lunch--not busy at all, good service and good food. DS17 was running around DHS with a friend, and I have no idea what he ate--expect he spent every penny of the money I gave him. No surprise there.
I was stressing out about ADR's for dinner at that point, because my cousin and his family, who live in the area, were going to come to Orlando for dinner and mini-golf that night. I wasn't sure whether to get ADR's for Whispering Canyon or if I could get a last minute-ADR for Ohana. As it turns out, believe it or not, they had an opening at Ohana at 9 p.m., so I took it.

I'm not at all sure how it was available, but when I called on Friday morning, there was an opening for Ohana at 9 p.m. Of course I took it. I did also try to get Chef Mickey's before asking for Ohana, but no luck.
We had a great dinner at Ohana last April and I figured it was a good place to take all the kids. My cousin and his wife have three sons.
In any event, we met up with my cousin and his family and played miniature golf at Winterland/Summerland, eventually driving over to the Poly for dinner at OHANA. We checked in about five minutes earl;y. We waited. And waited. And waited. And waited. Around 9:45, all the kids were STARVING. They said people were lingering at tables and didn't know how long it would be at Ohana, so we checked with Kona Cafe to see if they could seat us. We told the Ohana people we were going to Kona and they started to get a table set for us. Just as we walked into Kona, the guy from Ohana came racing over to tell us our table was ready if we still wanted it.
What to do?!! We all trooped back to Ohana, since that was our original intention. What I didn't realize, however, was that the festivities at Ohana had long since ended. We hit the tail end of dinner service and it was very evident, in the quality of the food, the quality of the service, and the fact they were running around cleaning everything around us. You know it is time to call it a night when they start sweeping the floor!
Now, I know it is my fault for making late ADR's, but they did seat us almost an hour late, and I am paying the same (and expensive, I might add) price that people who made 6 p.m. ADR's were paying. Those people got the whole enchilada. We did not.
We did get a great round table in the corner and were able to watch the castle change colors. In my complete planning breakdown, I didn't note that Wishes was only at 9 p.m. that night and there was no electric light parade. Oh well. They also didn't do any of the races, parade, etc. at Ohana that they did last year. No leis, no limbo, no nothing. I am guessing it was because it was so late, but the restaurant was still full, even at 10 p.m.
The dinner had good parts and not so good parts. The chicken wings and pork dumplings were okay; the salad was good; the bread was hard and dry, the noodles were sticky and congealed, the vegetables were cold. The meat I can't comment on, but everyone seemed to like the steak, shrimp and pork. Since it was last minute, I didn't order a vegetarian meal, just ate the salad, vegetables and noodles. I also stripped the dumplings and ate the outside. My DH got tired of me leaving little bundles of pork on his plate.
DS13 had kid's chicken nuggets and fries, as did two of my cousin's sons. Of course, they charged us the adult price, which I knew going in. Ohana is not a bargain for DS13 or any picky eater, for that matter--he most definitely does not eat anything they bring to the table.
The server was very rushed. I guess I can't really blame him. At 10 p.m., I kind of wanted to be going home, too. He didn't refill anything and they ran out of steak toward the end of our dinner.
The bread pudding was good, but for some reason, not nearly as good as last year. It tasted overdone--kind of hard and cold, not creamy and warm.
We had a nice time talking and catching up, and the kids had a good time together, so I guess the food was secondary. But my point is that we not only felt rushed, but the food tasted old and cold and the service was pretty old and cold, too. If they take ADR's for 9 p.m., they should provide the same quality of food and service they do earlier in the evening.
Based on our experience this year, I don't think I will be in a big hurry to return to Ohana. We all wished we had ended up at Kona Cafe after all. Once again on this trip, we ended up not liking a past favorite.

It's funny - I've been trying to get an O'hana dinner reservation for several weeks now. They have always offered me a 9:05 seating, and I've declined, knowing that's too late for the kids to eat. I've actually been wondering if I should take it, if it's offered again when I call. Thanks to your post I know I won't. Thanks for this and all your reviews.

Hi, I just found your report and I am loving your reviews. I have 2 boys also but my oldest is 13 and my younger son is 11. My 11 year old is picky just like your 13 year old. We are doing the basic dining plan because I like to pay for everything before hand. It makes it more of a vacation for me if don't have to look at the prices at the time of the meal. If I did then I know I would be telling the kids to get the less expensive item and I know I would be doing the same. I know the dining plan will be wasted on my 11 year old but it's what works best for us. My 13 year old is a much better eater so I am not worried there.
I am also going to let the boys try the water skiing. Did your 13 year old try it too? You mentioned your older son did it. I am going to have both of them try it for the first time. The guy on the phone told me if they are having a hard time with it he will switch to tubing. I am going para sailing and I can't wait. I wanted the boys to do it with my but they are too chicken. My DH is not into either of those things so he will just watch us have fun.
Looking forward to your review of the Grand Floridian Cafe. We have a dinner ADR there and we my do a breakfast there one of the days.

kizzy- thanks again for all your work!!!
we wee staying at th Boardwalk (rented points from friends) and shared Nachos at ESPN. we REALLY liked it. it was filling for the 2 of us, and very good!
I'm SO sorry to hear about your Ohanas experience. we ate there once, berfore wishes, and it was fun (even though it's just hubby and me). I SO agree hat if they take ressies for 9 pm, you should be guaranteed the same experience as those with 6 pm ressies (or they should tell you otherwise when you make the ressies)
once we decided to eat at San Angel for EMH. there were a few restauants open for EMH, and we thought it would be nice to watch Illuminations, then relax with a late dinner and not have to fight the crowds to get to the bus stop. It took MANY tries, and I was so happy to finally secure those reservations! we felt almost guilty eating there.! It was obvious the staff was anxious to get home. the relaxing ambience we were seeking, the slow relaxing dinner after Illumintions, turned out to be "here's your drink, here'syourappetizer(it was included on the DDP at the time), here'syour meal,dessertand check, sorry if we're sweeping around you.
as a waitress, this last Easter we had our last seating at 6pm. but most people came for the brunch, which ended at 2 pm. a very nice family had ressies for 6. there was no one else in the restaurant and they kept apologizing for keeping me there!
I kept telling them... "stay! have another cup of coffee! have dessert! relax! I chatted with them,JUST to keep them there and make them feel comfortable(even though I was tired and really wanted to go home) why? they expected a nice, relaxing dinner and that's what they were going to get!

Really enjoying your thread and reviews, THANKS for sharing! 
I think you are making the right decision not to get late ADR's at Ohana, based on our experience. Last year, we ate at Ohana's around 7 p.m., and things were hopping. Plus, the food was A LOT better! Maybe there is a reason those late ADR's pop up at the last minute!
My DH13 did not waterski--he is too chicken. In the past, he has gone tubing at Disney and liked it. DH skiied with DS17 last year--it was the highlight of his trip that he was able to get up on one ski. This year, only DS17 skiied and tubed. They will let you tube, wakeboard, and ski all in one trip, depending on what you want to do. An hour is long enough to do all three, depending on how many people are going. In the case of DS13 last year, they drove slower when he was tubing. DS17 tends to be a daredevil and they adjusted their speed for him. Have fun parasailing! DS17 wants to try that some time.

I know how you felt at San Angel! That was totally our experience at Ohana--'here's your food, your drinks, your dessert, your check, and could you pick up your feet so we can sweep under them!'
Really enjoying your thread and reviews, THANKS for sharing!
Thanks!
It would have made the experience better for us if we could have seen Wishes or the water pageant. Last year, we had a great table for Wishes at Ohana and that really capped off a great night. I just totally forgot to check the times when I got the last-minute ADR!
I was thinking of doing the 1/2 hr water skiing for the 2 boys...do you think that is enough time? If I bump it up to an hour I may try it with the boys since I have never done it. I am trying to save a little money because aside from this, I am doing the parasailing and we are renting a cabana at the pool at the GF for 2 afternoons and they raised the price from $60.00 to $100.00.
The trip is all paid off but all these extra's really add up.So...what do you think, should I do 1/2 hr. for them or 1 hour for the 3 of us?

It depends on how much both kids will want to ski/tube. I think I would probably go ahead and do an hour. Even with just my DS17 skiing, he would want an hour. By the time you get out on the water, get the skis on, etc., a half an hour goes pretty fast. If both boys want to try it out, I would definitely say an hour, and if you want to ski too, then go for it! They are helpful about teaching you--they were really patient in working with DS13 to learn to ski two years ago. Make sure you take your camera, because you can get some great shots with the Contemporary and Space Mountain, as well as the monorail, in the background. They supply towels on the boat and you can take water or drinks if you want.
Thanks, I figured I would have to do the hour. I did not mean to hijack your dining review. Can't wait to hear about Grand Floridian Cafe.
