Loved the DDP for 12 days!

We just returned from a wonderful trip to our home resort SSR. We were there June 29-July 11. We were on the Basic DDP and loved it. I haven't done the final totals on our receipts yet, but so far it looks like we saved apx $400. Our family consisted of:

Myself (34)
DH (40)
DS (14)
DS (5)

Ok, sorry its taken me so long to start, but hear goes. This is my first attempt at a dining review so bear with me. I went over our totals and we save $519.31 with the dining plan. We probably wouldn't have ordered CS dessert had we not been on the plan, but it was still a savings for our family. So hear goes

Whispering Canyon Cafe

Myself, DH and DS14 all ordered the skillet. I really enjoyed the salad, they didn't really cafe for the dressing. It is an apple vinegrette I believe, they thought it was too sweet. The corn bread was very tasty also. The main skillet had the ribs, pulled pork, chicken, beans and corn on the cob. I really enjoyed the pulled pork and the side of BBQ sauce they provide is good with it. My DH and DS made quick work of the ribs. I thought the chicken was good, but just slightly dry. My DS5 had the kids Mac and Cheese, he really enjoyed it, he had the fruit salad for his appetizer and the worms and dirt for dessert. Myself, DH and DS took our dessert to go since we were stuffed. I had the carmel apple pie and they both had the Chocolate moose stampede. The carmel apple pie reheated nicely it had a pefect consistency and good flavoring the top was a stuesel type. Their cake was good also multi-layed chocolate cake w/chocolate frosting. They also let us get the all you can drink shakes on the DDP my DH had 3. He was sooooooo full.

We really enjoyed this restaurant our server was Gold Rush Girl, who was great, she did all the antics numerous straws, brought my son a huge coke after he downed his first one too fast and also brought out a special birthday dessert for my DS5. We were seated in the back portion away from the main area, but she took him (and us) into the main area and announced we were celebrating his birthday and the whole main dining room sang happy birthday to him.

We would definately return here.

UP next BEACHES and CREAM

 

[odc146]

We walked over to Beaches and Cream from Epcot. We went apx 6 pm and were seated right away without any wait.

DH ordered the Roast Beef Sandwich. He said it was very good, lots of lean beef, nice soft fresh roll, grilled onions peppers and cheese. It also comes with a side of Au Jus for dipping. He opted for fruit instead of fries which was nice and fresh.

DS14 ordered the Double cheeseburger he added bacon and grilled onions which were both included with the DDP. He said it was a very good burger, however way to much he said he should have ordered the single.

DS5 ordered the kids hot dog. He likes hotdogs so was happy. I should not the buns for the hotdogs we had at all locations were the wheat ones, but they are ones that look mainly white, with some wheat mixed in. Very similar to what I serve at home so my family didn't even notice or be bothered by this.

I ordered the chili cheese dog. The chili had a great flavor and appeared to be homemade. It came with a side of fries. I really enjoyed this

For dessert we decided to go for the Kitchen Sink. We had to pay for this out of pocket, but our server did say if we were four adults on the DDP, then it could have counted for our dessert.

The Kitchen Sink was fun, when they bring it out sirens go off and they announce to the whole place you have ordered it. We didn't even come close to finishing it. It had about 8 different flavors of ice cream, hot fudge, carmel, marshmellow topping, pound cake, cookies, brownines, candy bars, a whole can of whip cream and too many cherries to count.

We enjoyed this meal it was a nice break to walk over the the resort.
