Melted, Roasted, & Cooked (and that's not just the food!) Our 10 day foodie review.

Sounds like you all enjoyed Tamu Tamu! :thumbsup2 Having seen pics of that Tuna Salad Pitta it sure is huge!

I'm so glad you enjoy Boma for dinner as we are eating here in September! Can't wait!
 
Welp, here goes nothin'!!

**BTW: we don't park hop! We will go from a resort to a park and back again though, we don't always stay at the park all day either

Day One (MK)

Columbia Harbour House (Lunch)

MegaWoman: Chicken Breast Nuggets and Fish w/fries. Though this is normally not my thing and a much larger portion than I would eat for lunch, I ordered this because DS would probably want more to eat than the usual kid’s portion. I ate the fish and gave DS the chicken! It's good, not too exciting and the upstairs dining room is just what we needed. Our kids are accustomed to eating at a table with us every meal. We have a strict no getting up from the table until everyone has finished their meal, and I really can't stand being in a restaurant with screaming, running kids (and their parents). Please don't flame me, I just have high expectations for my kids! I know its WDW and there are kids everywhere, but I can tell the difference between "Mommy I'm hot and sticky and I just need to cry" and "Yelling, screaming, parents-ignoring-it-all" kids.
*Steps off soapbox; won't happen again. Maybe*
Back to the food. Ordered Sweet Tea (you just can't get this stuff up here in Canada, I'll be ordering this as often as possible) and had the chocolate cake for dessert that I shared with the kids. (The usual CS cake, good and not too sweet)

Fred: Chicken Breast Nuggets and Fish. Same as above; he shared far less with DS than I did though! He thought the condiments bar was great, they have everything you need, right there upstairs (Wait a minute - is that StitchKingdom.com I saw eating up here? Why yes, yes it was! :rotfl:) He ordered the Pomegranate Lemonade and the apple pie. He did not share with the kids, they don't really like pie!

The Padawan: Kids' Meal chicken nuggets w/ fries and grapes. We have a one healthy side-minimum, so he opted for grapes with his fries. Why oh, why aren't the kid's nuggets the same as the adults? I just don't get it. DS devoured his meal, plus my chicken and half my cake! (This is where I really began to doubt the kids DDP for him, on day one). He also had orange juice with his meal.

The Princess: Mixed Greens with chicken w/ grapes and a cookie. My DD is quite possible the quirkiest child when it comes to food. She inhaled the salad, it was good and fresh. Then we had to coerce her into eating two bites of chicken. She ate her grapes and cookie no problem though. She had apple juice to drink.

Will we eat here again? Yes. We have eaten here on every trip, and always enjoy the food and atmosphere. Had we ordered the adult DDP I think my kids would have been more satisfied. The Lighthouse sandwich would have been DD's first choice, as she loves hummus. I really wish the kids' menu was just scaled down portions of the adult menu. (You'll see me say this often)

Tony's Town Square (Dinner)

MegaWoman: Chicken Parmigiana w/ pomegranate lemonade (no sweet tea here) and cheesecake for dessert. Ugh. Didn't even finish. There was NO FLAVOUR in this meal. I understand not over-spicing things for the masses, but there was nothing about this meal that I liked. Yuck. The cheesecake was okay, but just the same old, same old to me.

Fred: NY Strip w/pomegranate lemonade and lemon walnut cake. DH said this was okay. Nothing to write home about, it was cold and we had to send it back to be warmed up. Thought the dessert was nice. Fell in love with pomegranate lemonade and tried to order this everywhere!

The Padawan: Spaghetti & meatballs, no sauce just butter & parmesan cheese, with carrot and celery sticks, orange juice and fruit salad for dessert. It was pasta. Meh. The fruit salad was incredibly small and there was lots of melon, which my kids don't like. We promised them Mickey Bars to compensate for the lacklustre meal.

The Princess: Mickey-shaped cheese-filled ravioli, carrot and celery sticks, fruit salad and pomegranate lemonade. If I could have eaten this I would have been happy. The ravioli is served with "crispy pepperoni" on the side. DD wouldn't touch this with a ten-foot pole, and happily gave it to her brother, who proclaimed it "very weird". DD did fall in love with the lemonade though, and thought the birds flying in and out of the restaurant was great! Especially when they dove right for the bread crumbs on the floor.

Will we eat here again? No. Let me begin by saying that we've eaten at Tony's Town Square, The Plaza and Cinderella's Royal Table. And while Cinderella's is great atmosphere and good food it is a 2-credit meal, and not something we will do often. We are always disappointed with MK-TS meals, and won't be eating a TS meal here again. We would rather hop on the monorail and eat at a resort.
It's kind of noisy here, I'm not sure what it was, but it didn't give my any warm-fuzzies being here. Nope, we'll never eat here again. MK has great CS places, but they really need to improve the TS!

MK Ice-Cream Cart; right outside Tony's Town Square (Dessert/Snack)

Mickey Bars!!! We shared two for the four of us. Yum. As always. *sigh*

Will we eat here again? YES! Bring on the Mickey Bars :cloud9:

Ugh! I couldnt agree with you more about the food at Tony's. I had the same meal you did, and i gagged the whole time. Lol! It was awful. I will never eat there again as long as I live.

Also.....it must be just me, cause i actually dont like the mickey bars. Isnt that weird!?!??!?! Its the chocolate i dont like. It tastes funny. LOL! Sorry folks, hope i dont get flamed for what i just said. :eek:

Great review! Cant wait to hear the rest. :)
 

Enjoying your take on the food, we will be there for Christmas and wanting to try some different things.

The only time we have ever enjoyed eating at Tony's was when they had breakfast and still can't understand why they stopped it. It was always the first place we ate at the Magic Kingdom. Tried it once for lunch and it was a big fat no. I wish they would bring the breakfast back, sigh.

Nope I don't like them either but I don't even like them at home, lol.
 
Oh how awesome! I am so in on this one! Sounds like you all eat a lot like we do. My DS2 is 8, and we'll have the same issue on this next trip. We got free DDP, so I know I'll be sharing at least half of whatever I eat with him. He'll eat the nuggets and mac & cheese, but would rather have mussels, steak, and shrimp. Very carnivorous. Hope to get some veggies into him at some point. LOL!
 
Sounds like you all enjoyed Tamu Tamu! :thumbsup2 Having seen pics of that Tuna Salad Pitta it sure is huge!

I'm so glad you enjoy Boma for dinner as we are eating here in September! Can't wait!

We adore Boma, and are seriously considering eating there twice next trip. I've heard the breakfast there is really divine!

looking forward to your next installment!

I'm glad you're here :goodvibes

Count me in........:goodvibes

More coming soon!

Well, I won't begrudge you your dislike of Mickey Bars, I don't understand it though! I tried one of the Turkey Legs years ago, and I thought it was pretty gross, blech!

enjoying reviews. looking forward to more.

I'm working on it! Summer got in the way though :thumbsup2

Breakfast would have been interesting, getting a really early ressie would have been great! What was the menu/food like?

Have you considered upgrading your DS to the adult dining plan? You would also have to upgrade the park tickets but I don't think the price difference it that great.
 
Just dropping in to say "hi" and let you know I'm following along. Thanks for taking the time to write a great report.

I LOVE your title! :lmao: Thant's how we felt last summer, but it isn't stopping us from going back for more in 3 days!
 
I'm baaaaaack! We took a camping trip and I survived days without the internet, though just barely:lmao:

Day Three (Epcot)

San Angel Inn (Lunch)

MegaWoman: Enchiladas Verdes con Pollo w/ diet coke & Isla Flotante. This was great! I know that San Angel Inn gets mostly bad reviews, but this was truly delicious. The ambiance is calm and soothing, looking out over the "volcano" was a treat for my kids and our server was wonderful. The chicken Enchiladas with green tomatilla sauce were a teeny bit spicy for me, but I really don't like spicy foods, so if you are used to more spice I would ask for more. I really don't remember what my dessert was! Maybe someone can help me out? I can't find a description anywhere. :confused3 I remember liking it though :rotfl:

Fred: Sirloin Relleno w/ coke & Dulce de Leche. Fred seems to remember that this was the best steak on this trip. The sides were good, though we don't remember what they were! The ice-cream was yummy, and he "helped" the kids finish their churros.

The Padawan: Beef Tacos & rice w/orange juice & churros. These were really good tacos, made with a soft tortilla, and he was reluctant to eat the rice, but after trying it he finished the whole plate. (My little carnivore liked the chicken tacos better, so he and his sister switched plates!)

The Princess: Chicken Tacos & rice w/Shirley Temple & churros. The Princess shocked us all by telling us she liked the beef tacos better! She ate one whole taco and the rice (and quite a few of nachos). I think this was one of the best kid's meals/restaurants out there. Churros = yum!

Will we eat here again? Yes.Absolutely. The decor is great; the restaurant is calm and dark. It was just the place to cool off. The staff is outstanding, helpful and very friendly. Please give San Angel a chance if you are on the fence. We were very pleased.

Club Cool (snack)

Slushies! I love Club Cool - even the super sticky floor. :lovestruc We were really hot and on the way to the Monorail, we grabbed a couple of slushies and suffered the brain-freeze. :scared1:

Will we eat here again? Yes!



Contempo Cafe (Dinner)

MegaWoman: We had had enough of the heat and humidity so we decided to check out how the other half vacations and headed to the Contemporary for a break. (Before you say anything about Canadians we live in the Greater Toronto Area and summer here is hot, humid and smoggy. We knew it was going to be hot, but we were told it was unseasonably hot.) Anyhoo, I had the bacon cheddar burger with fries, Peach Mango Fuze & Black Forest Cupcake. This was good. This was the beginning of the realization that we are no longer a Value resort family. The counter-service was so much better here! And we had fun with the touch screen menus too. ;)

Fred: Bacon cheddar burger with fresh chips, Peach Mango Fuze & Black Forest Cupcake. He thought the chips were just okay, and after we both read the label on the Fuze; realized that it's not juice! We usually only drink 100% fruit juice. The cupcakes were HUGE and we shared with the kids.

The Padawan: Pepperoni Pizza with grapes, orange juice & chocolate chip cookie. This was okay, nothing special and not really big enough for a hungry, hungry kid. I shared my fries with him. He saved the cookie for another day and ate cupcakes with us.

The Princess: Cheese pizza with grapes, apple juice & chocolate chip cookie. If it's cheese pizza The Princess will eat it. Ate cupcakes also.

Will we eat here again? Yes. We had fun reminiscing about The Concourse Steakhouse that we ate at. We're sad that it's no longer there. We also had fun watching all the people lining up for Chef Mickey's. We were really glad we didn't have a reservation there. Oh, my! There were so many screaming kids! That is the only negative about eating here, the whole place is open to the Chef Mickey chaos.

I promise to update more sooner rather than later, so keep reading!
 
Loving the reviews! We are not eating at San Angel but are paying Contemporary visit and am afraid that it will also make me want to stay in a deluxe! :lmao: I'm going to be trying s Florida Strawberry Cupcake and can't wait!
 
Have you considered upgrading your DS to the adult dining plan? You would also have to upgrade the park tickets but I don't think the price difference it that great.

You know, I hadn't! I don't really know why.....I already upgraded from free QSP to regular DDP (we're at Pop Century). I will talk to my son and see if he wants me to do that! Thanks for the suggestion!

Glad to hear about San Angel. Hopping back over there for the first time since 1991 in just about 3 weeks....

Hi! Thanks for following! It was so hot that we've considered not going again in the summer until the kids are older, and can stay up late every night.

I'm an avid cupcake baker, and I would love to have a job "inventing" new cupcakes for WDW! There are so many all over the place. Yum!

I think you also have to upgrade his park ticket, but the price difference isn't too bad. If you're going to have to pay for extra food out of pocket, it might make up the difference. Let me know how it works out for your son.
 
Hi there!

The pool is closed for the summer, we're very sad - but it does mean a return to homeschooling in earnest. Yes, we're homeschoolers. :thumbsup2 Yes, it's difficult. :headache: No we're not hippies! :hippie: But I've decided that completing my food review and updating my blog is my schoolwork!

So here we go!
 
Loving your reviews so far! We have our first ADR for both Boma and San Angel Inn coming up. I can't wait to try Boma. I have heard so many great things. I have never heard of Tamu Tamu - where is that one? We actually like Pizzafari. I think that is the place that has the good Italian sandwich.

I agree about TS at MK although the breakfast buffet at CP is my favorite. For lunch and dinner, I would just assume have CS or leave and come back. For our next trip, I booked Ohana which is just a boat ride away!
 
I'm joining your review! Enjoying reading about kiddo's eating habbits! We also have DS 8 who just about eats anything other than normal kid's meal. He likes good adult food! :lmao: I did upgrade his DDP to adult so he could get his own meal.

Tamu Tamu is on your right, just as you reach Africa. There's a walk-up window, and if you go past that, behind the building there is a quiet seating area through an arch.

How did that work for your family? I'm thinking of upgrading my DD on our next trip. She's not a big eater, but prefers not to eat most "kid" food.

You made me laugh hysterically! I too homeschool and we are also not hippies!:rotfl2:
 
Day Four (Animal Kingdom & Beyond)

Tusker House (Breakfast)

MegaWoman: Arriving at AK early in the morning was fabulous! We had an early reservation, and we were excited to be at AK when it was cool and quiet. We snapped a few pictures on the way to Donald's Safari Breakfast that were lovely and free of crowds. The buffet was really huge, there were a wide variety of foods, lots of fresh fruit and Mickey Waffles! They also serve that great juice that they have at 'Ohana. Yum. The server also gave me the entire pot of coffee, not sure if that's the usual or not, but it was good. I really needed the caffeine, and would drink almost anything at this point.

Fred: Bacon. That is all.

The Padawan: DS thinks that Mickey Waffles, anywhere are the bomb. He also would like you all to know that they have doughnuts. For breakfast. Really.

The Princess: DD ate some Mickey Waffles, her weight in fruit and went back with her Dad and got a danish. She thought that this was the best item ever. "They're like pop-tarts, but squishy and filled with jam".

Will we eat here again? Yes. We loved getting in the park before everyone else. We also high-tailed it out of there after our meal and headed straight for Kilimanjaro Safaris. We got fastpasses for later, and rode twice in a row. Then walked over to The Festival of the Lion King, we love that show. And left AK before it got too hot and too crowded.


Intermission Food Court (snack)

MegaWoman: We took the kids swimming and ate a snack for lunch. We were still stuffed from our fabulous breakfast. I had a salad, it's a snack credit. It was okay, though I would appreciate more "real" veggies and a little less lettuce.

Fred: Salad as a snack. It's okay, but not too exciting.

The Padawan: "Hey Mum? Did you see that there's caramel to dip the apples in? Why do they do that?" *DS dips apple slice in caramel* "Oooohhh, this is good - I get it now!"

The Princess: "I like apples, but I DO NOT like caramel. It's gross and please get it away from my delicious apples". (Yup, she's a princess alright)

Will we eat here again? Unknown. We only eat here as this is the resort we're staying at. I hope to stay at POFQ next time, and try all of the Deluxes after I win the lottery! :rotfl::rotfl:


Wolfgang Puck Express-Westside (Dinner)

We had wanted to eat at WPE-Marketplace, and even after all my careful planning, didn't realize that is was closed for a refurb. And only reopening the following day. We had parked at the Westside, and our plan was to walk over to Marketplace, eat & shop and walk back to the car afterwards. Our plan resulted in us having to walk much farther on an empty stomach in the heat than we had anticipated. We were really hungry and hot so we decided to take the ferry from Marketplace to Westside.

MegaWoman: Four Cheese Pizza w/fountain drink & brownie. I ordered the four-cheese pizza not realizing that there were tomatoes on it. I do not like warm tomatoes on my pizza. I would have ordered this without the yucky tomato. I picked them off. I was disappointed that they no longer had the Mango Iced Tea that we've had in the past. It was so yummy. The brownie was okay.

Fred: BBQ Chicken Pizza w/fountain drink & crème brûlée. DH has had this every time we've been to WDW. He really like the pizza, but was also disappointed that the Mango Iced Tea wasn't there. Maybe it's still at the Marketplace location? The crème brûlée wasn't warm. It was cold from the fridge. It was okay, but would have been better warm.

The Padawan: Pepperoni pizza w/fountain drink & chocolate chip cookie. The CM here told us that we were not limited to the kids' menu here, which was nice. We ate here years ago before there was a kids' menu and it was a great option because of that. DS ordered a pepperoni pizza with fresh basil. (He requested the fresh basil himself and the CM told us it was no problem). DS doesn't like fizzy drinks or artificially flavoured drinks and doesn't like lemonade. He chose water. The cookie was huge and the kids were happy about that.

The Princess: Margherita pizza w/fountain drink & chocolate chip cookie. She made sure there was fresh basil in her squeaky princess voice. The CM's heart melted and added more fresh basil. These pizzas are big. The kids love that they're not having a tiny kid's pizza. DD chose the lemonade as a drink and ate most of her giant cookie.

Will we eat here again? Yes. But the location at Marketplace. We like the atmosphere there better. The indoor seating at this location is mainly at the window, and it was too hot for us to eat outside. It's also right near the entrance for the whole restaurant and it's busy and noisy.
