We're doing WCC & O'Hana. I've heard just diverse reviews lately. What did you think about food & service?

 

[graceesmom]

We had great food at Ohana. Loved the appetizers, entrees and DESSERT! Ate there in April as well with DH and DD and we loved it then as well. We will return.

The food at WCC was fine, nothing spectacular, but not bad. I had the skillet -- the BBQ pork was juicy, the brisket was a little dry but fine, the chicken and the ribs were tasty. My friend had a ribeye and it was fine, but not great. May or may not return depending on schedule. It did not make our must do list.

This was our 2nd time doing CRT for lunch. The pictures were much more rushed this time. First you check in, then wait for your name to be called. At that point you get in line for your picture with Cinderella. This part was very rushed and hectic this time. In April it didn't seem so rushed and hectic. On Friday, the CM's downstairs were kind of pushing the children in front of Cinderella, taking 1 shot and moving on. And telling everyone -- hurry, hurry. The princesses upstairs also seemed more rushed. I don't know why there was such a difference b/t lunch in April (during one of the busiest weeks of the year -- week before Easter) and during October. Maybe it just depends on whose running the show on the day you are there. The magic of the event was really lost this time.

When we went in April, Cinderella spoke to each child -- just for a few seconds, but enough for the child to feel special, gave each child a hug and then the cameraman took 2-3 shots. If they do take multiple shots, someone at WDW will decide which is the best shot and deliver the pictures to your table during your meal.

We had Major Domo's Favorite Pie and it was very tasty. I also love the Chocolate Cream Cheese buckle for dessert. So we had a good meal despite the rushed, hectic atmosphere.

Princesses were Cinderella downstairs before lunch. During lunch, Belle in regular dress, Princess Aurora, Snow White and Jasmine.

The princesses were the same in April.

Hi,

We also have Ohana Dinner and Le Cellier lunch. We have 3 small girls and I was wondering what you thought of those meals? Did they take a long time? I'm just wondering how the kids will hold up since these meals are more for DH and I Thanks!

All Ears menu states tuna sandwiches (my fav) are now on multi grain buns instead of the great multi grain bread . By any chance did you have or see the tuna - bread or bun? Thanks!

How was the food at the Norway Princess dinner? I'm planning on taking my boys (2 and 5) there in January before they are too big to protest that it is "girly".
