Here's my quick food report:
We drove in from Vegas and discovered a few Chick-Fil-As along the way (we don’t have any in Vegas). Since we weren’t going to any parks on Thursday night we just couldn’t pass up a stop at one. Yummy at always
Friday
We really didn’t have any plans for breakfast. We were starving by about 9am so we ate of one of my favorites, River Belle Terrace. These pancakes and sausage are always so good. Oh and I always have to have a strawberry milk. DH had the Steamboat Platter, which is eggs, bacon and a biscuit, he enjoyed his meal too. Total cost: $27.00
Sorry, DH had eaten Mickey's face before I took the picture:
Such a pretty restaurant for quick service:
Lunch: We always try to do something different every time we go to DL and this time it was Big Thunder BBQ. Wow was this food good. I’m not a big fan of chicken on a bone but I loved it here, along with the ribs. I didn’t eat the coleslaw or beans but my DH loved them although, he prefers pork in his baked beans, these were vegetarian. We didn’t stay for dessert but would have loved to try the cookie bucket. I asked if we could order just dessert but the server wasn’t sure. Overall, I am glad we did it and loved the food but it was kind of expensive. It’s $19.99 and that doesn’t include soda or dessert. Total cost: $49.98
Dinner: We went to the Yankee-Angles game that night so we didn’t have dinner in the parks. We did have chicken nachos at the stadium and they were really good.
Snacks during the day: cream cheese pretzel – delicious, beignets – good but they weren’t cooked all the way
Saturday
Breakfast: Usually we never have time for a sit down meal because we are only in the parks one day. Since we were there for two days we had time to actually sit and enjoy breakfast. We ate at Carnation Café. We both had croissant eggs benedict with a side of breakfast potatoes. The eggs benedict was good but OMG are those potatoes great. They have so much flavor and are actually creamy, another great meal. Total cost: $28.00
Lunch: we decide to enjoy some things from the Food and Wine Festival. Now, it’s no where’s near the level of WDW but we loved it and thought it was a nice little something extra to DCA. We ordered the white cheddar cheese soup, beer battered halibut, beef slider and the chocolate profiterole.
Soup was amazing, dare I say even better than Le Cellier in Epcot, halibut was great, DH wanted more but was too full, beef slider was just ok as was the profiterole. I am not a big pastry fan but I thought it tasted like the refrigerator. DH liked the pasty part but didn’t like the filling. Of course we also got two sodas so we could use the fancy coke machine. I just got some fruit punch with a slash of Sprit but DH got an Orange Coke (which he liked) followed by a cherry coke. Don’t know if refills were allowed but there were no signs saying you it wasn’t so we did. Total Cost: $26.00
Dinner: Pizza Port, we have dinner here every trip and always get the same thing chicken fusilli. They have changed a few things on their menu but was happy to see they have not changed our chicken as it was good as usual. They did change the breadsticks, which we don’t like. Instead we got a slice of pizza, I would have rated it just ok but for $6.00 a slice, I rate it terrible. This place is still one of the best deals in the park IMHO because the chicken is big enough to spilt. Total Cost: $23.00
Snacks: I swear DL has the best cotton candy and a mint sundae from Gibson Girl – was good but did not have hot fudge, isn’t that a requirement of a sundae?
I have to say I think the park food is so much better at DL than in WDW and this trip didn’t disappoint.
Thanks for reading.
