Hello all, this is the first time I've done this, but I had some delicious meals on my last trip and wanted to share them with you all. Here goes!
Raglan Road- My mom wanted to eat here on Mother's Day. The inside had a cool vibe to it. I had Kevin's Heavenly Ham, which was very juicy, tender & a touch of sweet. My mom had the beef stew which she ate every bit of, and my cousin had the fish & chips which she said was excellent- very fresh tasting and not greasy at all.
Yak N Yeti Counter Service- We were looking for a light lunch and decided to try Yak N Yeti because we had heard good things. My uncle had the sweet and sour pork which he loved, and the rest of us had the chicken fried rice and pork eggrolls- both were very tasty. My only complaint about Yak N Yeti (and basically any other counter service place in AK) is the birds! I felt like we were eating in a bird sanctuary. I know there's not much Disney can do, but they should have the workers be more active in promoting the "Don't feed the birds" mindset.
50's Prime Time Cafe- loved this place! The milkshakes were delicious (try the chocolate!). We had onion rings, which were pretty good, but all of us loved our entrees. My mom and I had the pot roast (YUM!), my cousin had the meatloaf, my aunt had the steak, and my uncle had the pork. Everything was super tasty. For dessert we went for the smores, which were good as well. Our server, Cliff, was very interactive with us too which was fun. He saw my aunt doodling "Katie loves Cliff" (I'm Katie) and he saw it and made me hang it on the fridge for everyone to see. We all had a great time!
Toy Story Pizza Planet- It's obviously well-known on the boards that DHS doesn't have great counter service options, but this one we've always been fine with. We all got pepperoni pizza and salad combo, which was nothing spectacular but definitely nothing to complain about.
Writer's Stop- I had a very tasty Iced Mocha Latte here!
Electric Umbrella- I had the wheat vegetable wrap, which was good, and the rest of my group for cheeseburgers. Nothing crazy.
Sunshine Seasons- We stopped here for a quick snack, I had a cheese danish which I loved! We liked the selection of sweets here and it was a good break from the heat.
Chefs de France- We ate lunch here, which we LOVED! The $20 3 course meal is awesome- there are a couple choices for each course so everyone found something we liked. Most of us had the french onion soup, quiche lorraine (ham and cheese), and creme brulee. It was absolutely delicious. Definitely adding to our must do's!
Lotus Blossom Cafe- We were craving some Chinese food so we stopped here for a quick lunch. My uncle had the beef noodle soup bowl which he said was good. The rest of us had the vegetarian stir fry which was really salty!
Le Vins des Chefs de France- stopped here for a Grand Marnier Orange Slush... YUM!
Auntie Gravity's- I had a strawberry banana fruit smoothie (made with yogurt) and it was VERY good. Nice way too cool off.
Cosmic Ray's- Ate here twice because the 1/2 rotisserie chicken meal was really good! Comes with mashed potatoes and green beans. It was very filling.
The Lunching Pad- I had to have a turkey leg eventually! Always a favorite of mine and the seating area is in the shade and perfect for people watching.
Pecos Bill's Cafe- We stopped here for a bacon double cheeseburger.. pretty thin burger patty but it was good. Typical burger and fries.
Boma- We heard such rave reviews for the breakfast here, and made a special trip just to try it. We were not disappointed!! It was absolutely delicious and will be a must-do on every trip to come. The food was very good and the juice (I think called Jungle juice) was soooo yummy! I asked for some to go!
Hoop De Doo- We do this every year we go and it never disappoints us. This was our first time there since they added the mashed potatoes and they were very creamy. The fried chicken and strawberry shortcake are my favorite. The show, as always, was great. We got assigned table 11 which was in the front row in the corner. Great view of the stage and the actors were pretty interactive with us, made lots of eye contact and stuff. We went here on our last night and it was a great way to end a great trip!
Captain Cook's (Polynesian)- We spent a lot of time at the Polynesian (we stayed at Shades of Green) and had a quick lunch here. My mom and I had the chicken stir fry (we liked it) and everyone else had hawaiian flatbreads. We'll go there again, it was pretty good.
'Ohana- Best dinner we had all trip! Got a table with a perfect view of the castle for Wishes, and the food was so good! Love the noodles and pork. This is always a must-do for us.
Ghirardellis- Had a Strike it Rich sundae- yum! It had butter pecan ice cream and butterscotch and fudge sauce and whipped cream and nuts. Highly recommended!
Wolfgang Puck Express- I had the rosemary rotisserie chicken (BIG and very good) and my mom had a Chinois salad (honey mustard dressing, wontons, chicken and greens).
Hope I'm not forgetting anything! If you have any questions at all I'll be happy to answer.

and will be dining at Ohana (dinner), Chefs (dinner) and Boma (breakfast). We've been to BOMA for breakfast every trip, I think, and find it to be FANTASTIC. Glad to know it is still awesome. And we'll be doing OHana for dinner for the first time so I'm happy to see that you enjoyed it so much. I CAN'T wait.
