Left Dad and DBF at home for an all girls trip to DLP. We stayed at the Sequoia Lodge for 4 nights (July 12th July 16th). Figured people might find our dining reviews helpful for upcoming trips.
Lucky Nugget Saloon (Dinner) Saturday 15th July
The Lucky Nugget Saloon is open for lunch every day and for dinner at peak times. As far as I know it is the same menu for both.
Here they serve an all-you-can-eat buffet. It was 30 per adult (I think it was 15 per child). The general cuisine is tex-mex (very similar to Billy Bobs in Disney Village). To start with we hit the cold salad buffet. This was my favourite part of the buffet. It was filled with various salads, nachos, chicken mayonnaise, egg mayonnaise, guacamole etc. All very good and very fresh.
Moving on to the hot buffet, disappointment set in. There were a variety of dishes available. Fajitas, beef in peppercorn sauce, chicken wings, spare ribs, fish of the day, dish of the day, rice, chilli con carne etc. The problem was the dishes were not refreshed as often as required. Twice I went to the hot buffet to find only two dishes were available. I never saw what the fish of the day or the dish of the day were they were never out! The food was ok not the best quality but tasty enough. The only options I saw specifically aimed at kids were chips, cheese pizza and chicken nuggets.
The dessert buffet looked fabulous. There were many options that changed regularly. Options included: apple flan, chocolate mousse, crepes with chocolate or strawberry sauce, mini cheesecakes, jelly etc etc. The chocolate mousse and the apple flan were yummy but the rest was pretty poor. The crepes didnt taste right and the mini cheesecakes were very strange! Kind of like a half cheesecake, half trifle!
Throughout this many characters came to visit each party. It was done very fairly and the characters were not rushed at all. They came out in two sittings with a 10 minute break in between. The time we were in there we met all the characters twice. It was nice to see some fairly rare characters were present. The characters were as follows: Minnie, Pluto, Tigger, Eeyore, Jafar, Friar Tuck, Robin Hood, Guppeto, Baloo (I may have missed one or two!)
As a character meal it was brilliant. The characters gave much more time to your party than at Café Mickey and the setting was nicer. Also there were many adult only parties (we werent the only ones!). But the food was very disappointing Im not sure Id go here again.
Next Up: Reviews of our CS lunches (when I get chance!)
Will also do a review of the Cityrama Paris Day Trip in a few days

When we were there on Christmas Day we were there for nearly 3 hours, it's a wonder they did not offer us beds for the night!
