Overall Comments - Thought the food was great and service was better than the last couple of times I had been there. I noticed other people got bread and we didn't and the pork skewers didn't come around until after we were done. Overall we had a great experience.

Rating - 1/2 thumbs up out of 4

Wow, no bread or pork and you still gave it good service? Makes me wonder what kind of service you had last time. I love the food at Ohana but have found service to be hit or miss.

Anyway, great reviews! Thanks!

Really enjoying your reviews. That chicken at Pop looks really good

Cosmic Ray's Starlight Cafe

Ok sorry guys, no pictures. We ate here on the night of the Pirate & Princess Party. I was a little disappointed at the limited menu. They only had the burger side open and also had some chicken nuggets and maybe a chicken sandwich. We all got cheeseburgers (no double this time) and fries. The burgers were fresh and juicy. Enjoyed the toppings bar with the sauteed onions and mushrooms. I wish the toppings bar would have some jalepenos or some other kind of pepper, I don't like pickles on my burgers but I do like jalapenos or banana peppers.

Overall Comments- The food was good overall though I was disappointed at the limited menu.

The last couple of times we went was after they stopped serving the bread, so we sort of forgot it until we were leaving and noticed other tables had bread on them. I didn't really notice the pork either, they kept bringing out other meats so we never didn't have any meat on our plates. Our servers kept bringing meat, they just forgot to bring the pork. We had plenty of steak, turkey, and shrimp. Yes our service the last couple of times was pretty bad, actually if DS hadn't wanted to go back again I wouldn't have gone, so after after such bad service even just decent service seemed good.

Great reviews and thanks for the pictures. PB is a tradition of ours and the chicken wrap is mine. It is messy but I love that wrap and especially when you add the fried mushrooms and onions to it. This is the 2nd time I have seen pictures of the alfredo penne with the chicken parmesean!!! I wonder if you can get that at all the resorts? We stay at POR and it looks sooo good and yummy. We had a ADR in March for O'hana's and I cancelled it due to volume of bad reviews. Now lately it seems they have gotten better. With your pictures, I'm re-thinking of giving it another try!!!! Thanks again for the great reviews

After seeing your pictures, I'm glad we made an ADR at Ohana. We may try some of the counter services also. The chicken wrap at Pecos looks like it was made for me.

Wolfgang Puck Express - Marketplace

BBQ Chicken Quesadilla

The quesadilla was really good. There was a lot of chicken and the BBQ sauce wasn't overpowering, it was also very large. I liked this but if I got it again I would get an order of fries and try to get DH to split it with me. It was just too much of one thing.

Crispy Chicken w/Fries

DH ordered this. He said they were just OK, nothing really special. He thought the fries had somekind of seasoning on them that he didn't care for, he thought it might've been rosemary.

Spaghetti with Meatballs

I was a little concerned about DS getting this, I was afraid he would be expecting something like Ragu spaghetti sauce and wouldn't like it. Boy was I wrong, he absolutely loved it. I only got to try a small bite, and I thought it was good, very flavorful. DS didn't care for the meatballs (just to let you know he wouldn't have cared for the meatballs anywhere). I tried a bite of one and thought it was good but I don't think I could've ate too much of it. It had lots of herbs and seasonings in it, which would've probably been better eaten with the sauce and noodles and not by itself. This meal came with a mixed green salad. I've got a picture of it somewhere but I can't find it, I will try to post it later. The salad is just mixed greens with some type of vinagrette dressing on it. It was good side salad that wasn't too heavy.

Creme Brulee

DH and I split a creme brulee. I thought the creme brulee was just OK. I've had the creme brulee at WP Cafe and loved it. I've read about many people saying it's exactly the same as served in the cafe, it's not. I thought the creme brulee here was more like a thick pudding with a burnt crust on it, but at the cafe it was more custardy and had a better texture. I'm not saying the creme brulee was bad, just not as good as the cafe.

Double Chocolate Chip Cookie

Decent cookie. DS said it was not soft and was more hard.

Overall Comments - We really enjoyed WPE, which will become obvious later on. The only downer to me was, we never all got our food at the same time. This meal they brought out DH's chicken tenders close to 10 minutes before they brought out my and DS's food. I wanted DH to hold back on eating his tenders because I was afraid DS wouldn't like his food, if he didn't they could swap. So basically he just sort of sat there and let his food get cold (ok not really cold, but you know what I mean) while we waited for the rest of our food.

What is this intriguing twinkie tiramisu you speak of?

 

[MandaBean]

Great photos!! I love the way the parm. chicken looks from POP, and the 'Ohana food is making my mouth water!

 

[arieljasmine]

Ah, a girl after my own heart, I always want jalapenos too! I love the Pop food court, great choice, I would like to try the Chicken Alfredo next time.

I'm really enjoying your trip (food )report so far. Put some pictures of you in it! I'm planning, at least loosely, our CS meals and all of your info. has been very useful. Thanks and keep them coming!

What is this intriguing twinkie tiramisu you speak of?

The twinkie tiramisu was at the POP Century Food Court. It was just a tiramisu but instead of using lady fingers for the base, they used twinkies. It was really good! I had heard they took it off the menu because twinkies had too much trans fat. While we were there I had a CM confirm it was because of the transfats, I don't know if he meant just the twinkies or the whole dessert.

Electric Umbrella Part 2

Bacon Double Cheeseburger

I guess you can see DH really likes the bacon double cheeseburgers. I was concerned about the food being fresh because it was so late but the food was fine, the burgers were juicy and the fries fresh.

Grilled Chicken Sandwich

A little different picture of the same stuff. DS loved this chicken sandwich though, as I posted earlier, I didn't care for it.

Six Piece Chicken Nuggets

I was a little concerned about getting these, I thought they may be like MickeyD's chicken nuggets. They were good. They are more like mini chicken strips instead of nuggets. They are all white meat. I enjoyed them.

Overall Comments- I don't want ya'll to think we love the Umbrella so much we had to go again. We'd ate WPE at lunch time and we were EMHing at Epcot, it was late, we were ready to head back to the room and we were hungry. We didn't feel like walking to WS, we thought about heading over to The Land but didn't know if DS would eat anything over there. We were near the Umbrella so we just ate there. Don't get me wrong the food was good but I would've preferred to try something different.

Pop Century Food Court Again

No new pictures here, actually the pictures from the other POP review were from this meal. DS and I both got the Chicken Parmesan Penne Pasta, again, and DH got the Parmesan Chicken w/mixed greens, again. The only thing I can report is that everything was just as good this time as last time. I thought maybe the chicken being that moist and tender, yet with a crispy crust, may have been a fluke. No fluke, just good.

Overall Comments- Food was just as good this time around.

Whispering Canyon Cafe

Cornbread

The cornbread was great. I generally don't like sweet cornbread, but I love this stuff. It was sweet but not too sweet, and with a little butter it would just about melt in your mouth.

Salad w/Apple Vinagrette Dressing

The salad was just OK. It actually looks better and has more stuff in it (tomatoes, crutons, ect.) than Ohanas salad, but I liked Ohana much better. I just didn't really care for the Apple Vinagrette dressing, it was bland. Also the onions in the salad were very strong. Sorry about the picture, for some reason it's a little blurry.

All You Can Eat Skillet

My overall opinion on the skillet is, it was greasy. Even DH agreed that it was greasy. Nothing was really good on the skillet, not that it was all bad, but nothing was really good. The shrimp wasn't good at all, it was very small, lower quality shrimp. I was expecting something about the size of Ohana but these were very small, they also still had the vein in them. They were in some kind of brown seasoning brine/broth that was good but the shrimp were very fishy. The ribs were OK, the corn was good but it was greasy. The mashed potatoes- OK this is the first-but not the last- time I'm going post this, I just don't understand this whole "leave the peel in the mashed taters" craze that seems to have took over not just at WDW but the whole country. I DON'T LIKE PEEL IN MY MASHED TATERS!!!! OK my rant over the taters is over. Beans-The beans were just so-so, to me it tasted like they had a bunch of chili powder in them. The chicken- I didn't try it but DH said it was good but greasy.

OK I'm starting a new paragraph to talk about the pulled pork because I've got to give you a little background. My grandmother did most of the cooking for me and my sister. Neither her or my grandfather had any teeth, so when she would cook a beef roast or a pork roast she would pressure cook it so it would be tender. She would cook it down so much it would almost turn into a mush. When you put it in your mouth it would just fall apart and become grainy, a yucky texture. I tell you this to try to explain to you what the pulled pork was like. It was too tender. I know it's hard to believe something was too tender, but this was, and it was too tender in a bad way. The flavor was OK but the with the texture, I just couldn't enjoy it.

Overall Comments- It will probably be a long time before I do WCC for dinner. The food to me, is just not that good. We made the ADR thinking they had a shrimp dinner but they didn't, so DS ended up ordering the skillet so he could get shrimp. That turned out to be a big disappointment but probably ended up for the best because the shrimp was so bad. The service was decent, our server was somewhat into it but I don't really care much about all that. I care much more about drink refills and she did just fine with that.

Studio Catering Company

Chili Hot Dog

DS and I both got this. It was just OK. The weiner was good but the chili was just canned Hormel chili. All the meals came with a bag of chips.

BBQ Pulled Pork Sub

This is DH's. He said it was just OK. I tried the pork on the sub, it had a strong smoky flavor but didn't have much, if any, BBQ sacue taste on it. It just tasted like the smoky meat.

Chocolate Fudge Cake

Again, just OK. Typical counter service cake. It was rich and had a really chocolate taste. The kids may like it but probably too, I don't know, something, for the adults.

Overall Comments- The food wasn't bad but it wasn't really good either. This is the only place I felt like I got ripped off. I mean $7 for one hot dog and a bag of chips I can get at a convenience store for fifty cents.

Rating Just so-so

 

[DisneycrazedX6]

This is exactly how I like to read dining reviews.....great pictures and honest opinions......Thank You and keep up the good work!!!

 

[CJ]

Thanks so much for the honest review of the skillet at WCC! I've always liked the look of it, but was wary of the quality of the meats. We sound very similar in our opinions of meats, so thanks again!
