Most Overrated Food in Disney

[fly girl]

NuttyDisneyDad's post about the Dole Whip (thanks for the idea, NDD! ) had me wondering...


What do you think is the most overrated food item in WDW?


Mine would be the School Bread in Norway. I just don't get it!

The beignets at POFQ. We did not think they were worth the calories or the special trip over there to eat them!

Tonga toast at the Poly. It just wasn't very good to me. The bread pudding at Ohana, but then again I am not a fan of any bread pudding.

The grey stuff. I keep reading, "I can't wait to try the grey stuff!" I always wonder how they feel when they find out it's just a mound of weird frosting on a plate.

These are the food items I've personally tried which to me are overrated and not worth the time, effort or price:
Dole Whip
Churros
Any baked good from a park or resort "bakery"
Cape May Cafe seafood items especially crab legs
Le Cellier steaks
Mickey bars and indeed all park and resort ice cream
Flame Tree barbecue barbecued items
Be Our Guest grey stuff
Casey's Corner hot dogs
50s Prime Time Cafe fried chicken

These are off to top of my head. I'll add more after I do more thinking.

I really don't see the point of threads like this. It's pretty much telling others, "You like that food?? What is wrong with you?". There is really nothing beneficial to come out of a thread that in some sense, is making fun of others.

Dole Whip (ok, but I have no compelling need to get it again), turkey legs, zebra domes (again ok, but there's so much good food at Boma I'd rather use those calories elsewhere)

What?? I never made this thread with the intention of making fun of others! NEVER!!

It's all personal opinion. Not meant as an attack. The majority of people like the items posted, the poster is in the minority. How is that making fun if they post it?

If you don't like reading these, then move along ...

Flame Tree barbecue barbecued items

50s Prime Time Cafe fried chicken

Agree!!!

(although I love a warm fresh churro. DL's are better than WDW's IMHO)

 

[L&Lfan]

I suppose there should be no favorite restaurant/ resort/ attraction. etc thread to avoid anyone "feeling bad " according to that reasoning. Sheesh!

1. Dole Whip
2. Turkey Leg
3. Zebra Dome
4. Mickey Bar
5. Grey Stuff
6. Tonga Toast
7 Grand Marnier Slush

Have I left out anything that everyone else loves?

 

[goofy4prez]

For me it has to be the Mickey Waffles. I get it, they are a Mickey head; but with that said, they are from a batter that is no different than any other waffle found in any other restaurant located in any other city.

A few other treats or locations are:

Zebra Dome (for me flat out yuck)
Grey Stuff (Remove it from BoG and I doubt it's popular)
Le Cellier (There are many 1Ts I would rate much better)

Turkey legs at MK. Always seem dry to me.

 

[NuttyDisneyDad]

I agree with fly girl...... I personally love love love Chef Mickeys and for the most part it gets destroyed in these boards and it doesnt bother me.....

 

[starwart]

Great thread.
For me Boma's Zebra Dome.
Also, I found out that Boma's Jungle juice is = Trader Post's signature Moonshine juice is = Golden Coral's Orange Promeganate "whatever" juice.
There you go folks..the power of WDW marketing suggestion. Hahaha

After reading about the dole whip love I was let down when I tried it. However, I had the float on the next trip and enjoyed that quite a bit!

For those offended by the thread, my intention was to have fun -- not to be mean.


It's like movies. Have you ever heard so much about HOW GOOD a movie was that you build it up in your head that it's going to be phenomenal, only to shrug your shoulders afterward saying I don't get the hype?


That's the same thing with WDW food! I thought the Norway School Bread was going to be the tastiest sweet treat EVER by what I heard. So excited to try it, only to say "I don't get it?!"


How not getting the hype of certain foods is an attack ... I don't know? Maybe I just have a thick skin?

 

[L&Lfan]

Don't worry about it FG! Threads like this usually get a lot of good responses. And give folks a chance to express their opinions!

Zebra Domes
Casey's (breaks my heart - I used to love the hot dogs there)
