Just got back from Disney, stayed at Pop. Here are my thoughts on a few places. I will post a proper dining review, but just thought i'd share some points first.
POP food court - what on earth happened to this place? It use to be good. But now, its crap! The station that use to sell lo mein noodles is completely shut down. The burger station sells weird stuff now like a spring roll in a bun. WTH is that?? Not to mention some type of bean burger. Honestly, yuck. This place has gone down hill. Awful. We only ate here twice, once for dinner and once for breakfast. We ordered a pizza from Flippers another night cause i wouldnt let my son touch disney pizza. lol! Flippers pizza was very tasty.
Citrico's - What a gorgeous place. So lovely. Service was excellent. I had the cheese tray and the arancini. Both were delish. I didnt care for one of the cheeses though, but the other two were fabulous. Arancini was good. My son had the chicken, which i did try, wow, very juicy and flavourful. Potatoes were excellent as well. He enjoyed his meal, but I dont think he was over the moon. Dessert was delish. i had the warm choc banana cake thingy. Sooooo good. My son had the gelato in little cones and loved it. Overall, great place. But neither of us were wow'd by it. We both still like Cali Grill way better in terms of food and the view. But mostly the food.
Via Napoli - We loved the pizza so much last year, we had to come back. But i really felt like having pasta so thats exactly what we ordered. I had the candele pasta. OMG it was heavenly. The flavour was outstanding. I loved the little meatballs. So good. My son had the pasta with alfredo, chicken, & peas. I tried that of course, and thought it was tasty. But i liked my dish better.
Because my son and I love to eat, in addition to our pasta, we wanted to nibble on pizza. Not that i needed to have it. But i just wanted a taste because its been a year since i've had the pizza. i figure im long over due! The lovely waiter allowed us to order the kids pizza. he did stress that its very small, which i thought was perfect cause we literally only wanted a few bites. The kids pizza was a margarita. Very tasty. Not as good as last year thou, not sure if its because this was a kids size? maybe they made it different? But also, last year i had a different pizza. This is our first time trying margarita.
For dessert we had the ricotta fritters to share. Very yummy and fresh. Loved it. Overall i highly recommend this place!
Columbia Harbor House - oh my goodness, I love this place. I had the tuna sandwich on multigrain. Omg it was amazing! I know that sounds silly cause you figure, its just a tuna sandwich. but man was it tasty! Its nice to have something light for a change. the housemade chips were yummy, but i should have had something lighter to go along with it, such as carrot sticks, apples, or grapes.
Splitsville - on a whim decided to eat here. Honestly, i doubt i'd be back. It was ok. But nothing special. I had the chicken sandwich with avocado and chipotle something or the other. I cant remember. It was decent. My son said his burger was too dry. Fries were over salted.
WGPE (marketplace) - once again, this place did not disappoint. The food was phenominal. I had the meatloaf of course. so tasty! I highly recommend it. I havent had a bad meal yet!
TREX- We normally go here for appetizers, my son's choice. He had the nachos. They were much better than what I remember. Fun place to eat.
Yak & Yeti CS - I had the beef lo mein noodles. SO GOOD! I absolutely loved it! The veggies were crisp, noodles were cooked perfectly, the beef was lean. Yummy! My son had the sweet & sour chicken. That looked, interesting. The chicken itself was fine, he liked it. But he hated the plain rice because they drenched it with the sweet/sour sauce. So he got chkn fried rice on the side. He enjoyed it. I was surprised to see my bill to be over $30. Expensive! All we ordered was the sweet/sour chicken, beef lo mein, fried rice, and one drink! I could have had a TS meal for what i paid here! But we had a good meal so i cant complain.
SciFi - We come here every trip. Loved it. Atmosphere is neat, cool, and quiet. And we always enjoyed the food. We both had the oreo shake. I have to say, its fabulous!! Soooo good. For my entree i ordered the picnic burger. Love the burger/hotdog combo!
I dont care for sauerkraut so i asked for it on the side. My DS13 ordered the ribs. He thought it was decent, but not amazing.
I have to mention the bit of pixie dust we had at MK. We got two corn dogs for free!
Not sure why it was free, but it was. Yay! We love the corndogs.
Starbucks - I like the new Main St Bakery/Starbucks. I didnt care for the baked goods that was displayed, cause I noticed most of it was starbucks, but I like the fact that there's a coffee shop on main st! We esp loved the frappucino!
Plaza Ice Cream shop - we ordered the ice cream sandwich. Its exactly the same as the one at the old Main St bakery! Delish!
Casey's - my DS13 had nacho's, (he loves his nacho's lol). He liked them. I had a hot dog and surprisingly, I liked them! I must have been hungry! Lol.
