My motto for eating at WDW: Eat till they have to roll you to the plane!!!

I'm really late in the game here but I really enjoyed your Dining Review. It's great to see someone enjoy food as much as me! I have found that the resorts do much better than the parks at CS lunches. I see DHS is as dissapointing as usual. I see I missed out on many of the (ahem) adult beverages on my last trip but liquor, high temps and spinning rides are a bit much. Still looks super yummy and I love the desserts. Was that a special request for the plate at 1900?

Anyway keep up the great work and inspire the rest of us flavor junkies!

Better late than never! I really want to try and eat at more of the resorts next time around. We really enjoyed our dinners at the resorts the most! The plate at 1900 park fare was a special request my parents called the bakery at the Grand Floridian. Thank you!

Hi Caitlin - just had to say I have been totally hooked on your reviews - fantastic food pics and your photos are lovely.

Your family must be very proud of you.

Thank you so much for sharing!

They were amazing! Seriously they were more like mini cakes than actually cupcakes!

Thank you! We are very proud of her! She's a fantastic young lady! Saturday we'll all be cheering her on in our city's annual festival beauty pageant. Last year she was runner-up (lost by 2 points) so we're hoping she gets the crown (and scholarship!) this year!

Hi, this is Dawn-PrincessCaitlin's mom! I ordered the glass slipper dessert and the Mickey & strawberries directly from the Grand Floridian. I know you can get the Mickey & strawberries at other places though, by calling the cake hotline. The special desserts were adorable and yummy and make a fun suprise too!

Thank you so much Dawn, I will call, I love surprises

 

[Queenofallthings]

I will definitely join your ptr and tr it will help me with my "no new trip to plan" sadness Thank you!

Yeah, can't wait for you to join us!! I don't like that feeling of having no trip to plan, we used to go every second year and I finally said I would give up whatever I had to just to be able to go every year Some years were easier said than done

I just finished reading your tr loved it. My husband even liked reading the review on the food. We head back in Jan and I cant wait to try a few new resturants. We were able to get in to cape may cafe and that was our first breakfast to start off our vacation. I decided after reading your tr i decided that we just had to eat there. We LOVED it. The characters were great and our waitress was wonderful. Thanks Great job

I am totally craving one of those cupcakes!!!! They look awesome!

Hi Everyone this is Princess Caitlin's mom again! Earlier in the week I mentioned on here that on Saturday she would be participating in our community's annual beauty pageant. Well she won! Princess Caitlin is now officially a Princess and she has the tiara to prove it! She also won a very nice scholarship! Since so many of you have been so complimentary to her I just had to share the news with her Dis friends! I will have her post some pics when she gets up so you can see just how beautiful she looked!

 

[Cazbucket]

Sorry, off topic to thread but I had to say congrats!!! So chuffed for you and so very much deserved! Was at comp all day with my DS yesterday, so came on here as soon as, today!



WELL DONE PRINCESS CAITLIN!!

[SweetMommy]

Congratulations!!!!!!!

 

[2xcited2sleep]

Congratulations, Princess Caitlin! That's fantastic!

 

[princesscaitlinsgram]

I just wanted to say how VERY PROUD I am of Caitlin and all she has accomplished this past year: Making Dean's list for the full year, all the volunteer work she has done and becoming a real princess though I have known from the moment she was born that she was a princess. Much love from your biggest fan!!

 

[Queenofallthings]

There was no doubt in my mind when I read you would be competing that you would win

Brought a tear to my eye....as a mom there is no greater feeling of accomplishment than when your children succeed. We are very proud of you

 

[PrincessCaitlin]

Thank you all for the kind words!
As promised here are some pictures from last night

Me after I found out I won

After the crowning

Before I start my last posting I just wanted to thank you all for reading along and hopefully I helped some of you with your vacation plans


Now onto our worst meal at WDW

I had heard about zebra domes on every dining review I had read so I knew I had to try them out!

We went over to the Animal Kingdom Lodge and went to their quick service the Mara

The cafeteria is cute I like the set up a lot and they give you pagers for when your food is ready

I chose the Vegetable Flatbread which had olives, cheese and pesto on it.

It was disgusting!!!!!! I usually love olives but these tasted weirdly sweet and it was just gross. Looking at the picture now I think even the flatbread itself looks gross!

My Dad chose the African Stew since my Mom had read good things about it on the DIS

He thought that was disgusting too! The stew was also weirdly sweet and he just didn't like it at all!

For dessert my Dad got carrots and celery to share with my Mom and I got the Zebra Domes

At least those were good! I really enjoyed the zebra domes and they have sort of a sweet coffee taste to them!


OOP: $20
DDP: 2 counter service meals
Grade: D (doesn't get an E because the zebra domes were really good!)
Comments: It was pretty gross and unless you like your food sweet I don't think anyone would enjoy it!




Also I really enjoyed having the DDP and it saved us over a $100 and that doesn't include all of the snacks we got! If you and your family plan on doing a lot of sit down restaurants I would definitely look into the DDP!

Thank you all for reading!

Awww, you look lovely Caitlin! Congratulations!

That's such a shame about the food at the Mara! I'm hoping maybe you jsut went on an off day and it's not all bad for our stay.

Glad you liked the zebra domes though!

Thank you so much for such a great review! It's really helped me loads with my planning! Only 5 days till I make my ADRs!
