We went March 16-20th and I haven't had a chance yet to write my reviews. I might have forgotten some things by now but I'll do my best. This trip was my husband and I. We were here for our 1st anniversary and the Disney Doll and Teddy Bear Convention (For reviews of the convention, check out my site: www.iloveteddies.com - there is a link below).
We didn't arrive until 1 am in the morning so no reviews for March 16th.
Thursday, March 17th
Lunch at Columbia Harbour House: We were on the Keys to the Kingdom Tour so our lunch was waiting for us on the second floor in a sectioned off area. We had preordered from a limited menu - I had chicken strips and he had a tuna sandwich. I have never been in here before. I really liked the atmosphere, and the food was good too. I would eat here again.
Dinner at Boma: We've eaten here before and love it. We love all the different foods - my taste buds go into overload. The service was fine. I esp. love the Mullighany (sp?) soup, the salmon, apple viniagrette, and zebra domes. We'll definitely be back.

Lunch at AKL's food court Mara: I can't remember what I had - grilled chicken sandwich ? He had a cheeseburger. Everything was fine. Of course we had some zebra domes for dessert - yum!
Dinner at Jiko: I heard a lot of good things about this restaurant from DISers but was disappointed. We went to the Culinary tour in the restaurant that afternoon. We celebrated our first anniversary this night and we told them on our PS. They said happy anniversary when we checked in, but that was about it. They tried to put us a table cramped in between 2 other tables (where one seat is the booth and the other is a chair) and we asked for a better table and said it's our anniversary (we were nice the whole time; we are not that hard to please either). The woman was unfriendly and not helpful. Another woman came over and said they were busy, etc, but we saw some other tables. They just didn't care. We said we would wait for another table. Then they put us at another table near the entrance. I wanted to leave, but DH convinced me to stay. The service was not good at all and neither was the food. I had the chicken and I think he had the lamb. Neither one of us were thrilled with the experience. Maybe one day we'll try it again because we like to give things another chance but it won't be any time soon.

Skipped lunch: we were too busy with the convention, but we did grab a muffin from Boardwalk Bakery.
Dinner in Millennium building in Epcot: This was part of the convention. We had a salad, chicken and beef combo with green beans, and black forest cake. The food and the service were good. The Voices of Liberty stopped by and gave a special performance for us. We were entertained by a piano player the rest of the time - playing Disney songs, of course!
Sunday, March 20th
Lunch at Mara: We just grabbed sandwiches and zebra domes to go. I had a wrap that was very good. DH thinks Disney has really improved its ready made food - like sandwiches.

Sounds like it's a lot of fun!
