I had some new pictures to share but sadly I lost my camera at the end of day 2. Still hoping it will turn up with Lost and Found.
I can give reviews though.
Yamabuki
I always knew there was a Japanese restaurant at Paradise Pier but just thought it was teriyaki and bento boxes. It was through this thread that I realized they had sushi!

There were 5 of us and we sat at the sushi bar. We are all big sushi fans. We ended up only ordered 1 item off the menu and that was the kid's shrimp tempura bento box. Everything else, we just gave the sushi chef ideas of what we liked and he created some AMAZING rolls for us. Everything was very good. We were pleasantly surprised. We all thought we'd get mediocre sushi here, but it's a new favorite at DL.
We started with a large sashimi platter with ahi, salmon, albacore, scallops, octopus, and sea urchin. This was followed by a roll of salmon, ahi, and crab wrapped with daikon raddish instead of rice and nori and on the side was a sesame oil dipping sauce. We then had a roll with spicy tuna and thin sliced jalapeno, wrapped in nori then deep fried in tempura batter. We had a second one made without the jalapeno. Finally we had a roll with albacore, avacado and deep fried garlic chips. I had asked for garlic and the chef suggested he fry them. Everything he created was great and he really put a lot of thought into the presentation. I think he enjoyed making them as much as we enjoyed eating them.
White Water Snacks
As usual the steak nachos were fantastic!!!!
Carnation Cafe
We had a late breakfast with Oscar. Interacting with this cast member who worked the parks when Walt was alive was probably one of the highlights of my trip. Oscar is such a personable guy. We said hello soon after we sat down and he checked on us throughout the meal.
On to the food. I prefer lunch at the Cafe but breakfast is what worked out for us. The food was not bad, but nothing beyond you're normal breakfast. I probably won't be back for breakfast again. I had Oscar's Choice: Cafe Scramble which was scrambled eggs topped with cheese, Oscar's potatoes, bacon or sausage and a croissant. Mine came without the cheese so Oscar brought me out a cup full of cheese, more than I needed. He offered to reheat my plate in the microwave to melt the cheese, but I declined. I probably should have taken him up on his offer though because my food was only lukewarm. DS had the cinamon roll french toast which was fantastic but way too much sugar. It came with cream cheese frosting and syrup which of course DS put tons of each on his.
Naples
First time eating here. I've picked up pizza sliced at Napolini and they were good. But hadn't eaten at the table service side until now. The thing I remember about it most was how loud it was. Seemed to me to be louder than Goofy's Kitchen and many people complain about how loud that it, though it doesn't bother me. There was 9 of us, so we probably made a lot of noise but it still seemed we had to talk over all the other noise.
For appetizers we had fried calamari and mozarella sticks. I didn't try the mozarella, but we had 2 ordered and it was all eaten. We only had 1 order of calamari and we didn't finish it, that should tell you something. It had rings and tentacles. The rings were too chewy to me, and I didn't try the tentacles because I was disappointed in the rings. I shared a cup of minestrone and neither of us cared for it. It was pretty much a tomato soup with vegetables. There were no beans or pasta and that's what I like about minestrone.
Half the table shared a huge pizza. It was all eaten so I guess it was good. I had pasta carbonara which was really good. I make it at home a lot but have never had it in a restaurant. Good to know that what I was making tasted really close to what I had that night. I didn't get the reviews from the rest of the folks but we had an order of mussels and a plate of spaghetti and meatballs.
I also ate at Club 33 this trip but I do have the pictures from that. I'll post about that meal later once I've downloaded the pictures.
