Hello

this is my 1st time doing dining reviews, so i will try my best.

I did not get pictures of most of the food (I know~bad me)

but i can tell you overall what i liked/disliked etc....SO.............here I go!!!

Coronado Springs

Pepper Market
I had heard bad reviews & was a little nervous about eating there, but let me tell you ...I LOVED IT!!!
So many choices & HUGE portions
The setup was different with the card stamping, but easily figured out after the 1st time.
BBQ pork sandwhich~ HUGE-a little to much sauce for my liking but good!
Pasta w/marinara~ HUGE-never finished it & ALWAYS had left overs-loved the sauce
Baked Potatoe (loaded)~ HUGE-filling-had people asking me where i got it!!
Soup (mushroom & Fr onion) ~ HUGE bowl & it was REALLY good-i love soup!
Kids pizza & chicken! ~the kids LOVED it & it was plenty-it included a drink to!
my family (10 of us total) all had HUGE portions & no one over said they didnt like it
Overall i think it was nice to have SO many choices
Thumbs up!!!!

Wilderness Lodge

Whispering Canyon Cafe
Breakfast

We had the Canyon all you can eat Skillet & WOW it was filling!!
it was a great variety of eggs, sausage, bacon, waffles, bisquits & gravy & fried potatoes(a little salty)
Cant beat the price either
& if you get a coke----boy oh boy its HUGE...heres a pic..you can kinda see the food & of course the coke!!

The Yacht Club
Yachtmans Steakhouse
our 10yr anniversary dinner~we had ate there when we got married in WDW in 1997, so we, of course, had to return!!!
GREAT RESTUARANT~but be prepared for sticker shock~its NOT cheap
me & DH had Chataeubroind
alot of our party had lamb & chicken
NO complaints...it was delicious...the portions looked small, but once you got eating you realized they were very filling!!
well worth the money
here is a picture of the anniversary cake I special ordered & they also did a personalized menu for us

Fort Wilderness
Hoop Dee Doo Revue

We were lucky enough to get the center table...FUN...if you can manage this...your kids will LOVE it..i think its table #43??
the show was very cute~great for the kids!!!

the food was an all you can eat (except dessert it think)
Cornbread ~ LOVED it!!!!
Salad~ very good-dressing settled at the bottom & was to much, but it reminded me of the Olive Garden dressing
Chicken: good, but lots of legs & wings...almost NO breasts but yummy
ribs~ i tried one & it was REALLY good, but extremely messy
mashed potatoes~ i LOVED them- if you love mashed potatoes-you'll love these!!!!
baked beans~ pretty good- a little under cooked
strawberry shortcake~ good if i had room for it!!!lol
drinks~endless full glasses of water, pop, tea, etc!!!
the only issue i had was our table was SO full it was hard to eat & enjoy it....we honestly needed a bigger table!
heres the best picture i can find of table/etc

Love your reviews. In our HoopDeDoo bucket we had lots of breasts but only 1 wing! And I would rather have wings than anything else.

Your kids are gorgeous!
 

Holy crow that is a coke!!! I love the bathroom fastpass!
 
thank you so much for the compliments!!!!

the coke was HUGE!!!lol

and I DID make the ears..im looking into making more, but they werent cheap to make..so if your interested...pm me & i will let you know the info!

I hope to get to my next installment today or tomorrow!!

I hope you all had a GREAT holiday!!!
 
Thanks for the post. Looking forward to reading your dining review on the park restaurants.
 
Enjoying your reviews! Congrats on 10 years.:love: Looking forward to the rest!
 
Great reviews! We loved the Pepper Market and ate there a lot when we stayed at CSR! Also loved the WCC when we were at the WL! Haven't eaten at Yachtsmans Steakhouse, but hope to when we have our VR! Your anniversary cake looks delicious, what flavour was it (can you tell I love cake! haha)

Looking forward to more! :)

Hi Carolann!!!!!

the cake was Marble with White chocolate mousse!!!

& Yachtmans was AWESOME!!!!!
 
the parks!!!

Magic Kingdom

not alot to report on for this park....we had done WCC early that morning so it was just snacks here & there
popcorn~ ya cant screw that up unless you burn it...lol
pop~ coke, coke & more coke!!!
Cream cheese filled soft pretzel!!!~ this was AMAZING!!!!! I'd have it again!!!


MGM

ABC Commisary~ not alot to chose from but it was pretty good. Most of our party had cheeseburgers, I had the cuban sandwich which, to my surprise, was really yummy! It came with plantain chips (kinda similar to potatoe chips) but I subbed them for fries.
DH & the other 2 kids had chicken nuggets with fruit & fries
All in all we had a good, filling meal for about $6-$8 a person

popcorn~kids loved the stuff!!!

Ice cream~ mickey head ice cream was a favorite with us all & the grandparents really liked the frozen bananas!!


Animal Kingdom

This park was a little frustrating to me with the food .....very limited menus & all spaced FAR apart so we had to walk a bit to find some...but we found a spot for lunch
it had sandwiches (tuna, ham & turkey) & 1 salad...IMO...Not a very good selection, but we got some
since AK doesnt allow lids or straws...walking to a table juggling 4 drinks was NOT easy
The sandwiches were big, but partly due to the THICK bread, but they were tasty
I probably will do MORE research on AK in terms of eating before I go back...or eat a BIG breakfast & eat snacks at the park

other than that....its was popcorn & pop!!!

Epcot

my first review was for the outside counter service for Mexico (forgot name)
we had that for dinner & we hung around at the back tables for illuminations.
they have a decent menu to choose from but IMO the portions were a little small for the $$$..this was the 1st meal I had at WDW that i finished & was still hungry
I had a combo platter that had 3 items with some rice & salsa..infact most of us had that & the kids had a taco & nacho kids platter~ they LOVED it!!!
my & DH shared a nacho since we were still hungry...yummy!!
since we hung around & it got cool...i bought some tea, hot chocolate, coffe & churros...everyone enjoyed them & it helped keep us warm!!
good food....not alot for the $$..unless i had an off night?!?!

Coral Reef
This is where I had set up a few things...
the diver
