Ok, here's my quick, to the point dining reviews for our meals last week:
CBR food court: I had the chicken sandwich- very dry. Kids had chicken nuggets and hot dogs- both ate them all. DH had a sandwich from the deli that he really enjoyed.
Garden Grill: Eh... food was ok this time. They should definitely go back to the catfish. The fish of the day was the mahi mahi and it was SO incredibly dry and tasted like chicken. DH loved the cranberry relish, but everything else was so so...
Characters though were AWESOME. We had an early ressie and saw all the characters several times. The boys loved that!
Columbia Harbor House: AWESOME. The fish and chicken basket was incredibly good.
Kids' chicken nuggets... same standard fare, but they ate them all, so I can't complain! 
Grand Floridian Cafe: This was the most disappointing meal of the trip-- DH and I both had the NY Strip and it was the toughest, most overseasoned steak I've ever had.
Thankfully we were on the DDP, otherwise it would NOT have been worth it. Even the kid's grilled chicken was incredibly dry and overcooked. Service, however was very good.
Toy Story Pizza Planet- well... it was the standard park pizza. Can't complain!
'Ohana: Thought the food was very good. Really enjoyed the noodles, beef and chicken. And of course the dessert was just heavenly!!!
Shrimp was over seasoned IMO, but I'm sure others would like it. Only problem was the service... not so good. In fact, I'm afraid DH might not want to return due to that reason, but I would for the food.
LeCellier: I had the mushroom filet, and it was wonderful as always!! Definitely the best steak I've had in a good while! DH enjoyed his NY strip as well. Chocolate moose was good too!
Sunshine seasons: Well, this meal was a little soured by the fact DH got food poisoning from the fruit relish at the rotisserie chicken area.
I had one teeny-tiny bite from it and got a decent upset stomach, and that was the only food we had the same that night, so it had to be the culprit. I had the turkey sandwich from the deli, and it was good. The potato side that came with it was tasty but I discovered after the first bite that it had TONS of onions in it, which I can't eat.... so I didn't really get to enjoy it!
Pecos Bills: Excellent burgers! Don't have a whole lot else to say other than that! It was a good lunch!
Crystal Palace: I never really enjoy buffets, mostly because I have two three year olds, and they're hard to really enjoy, so it's hard for me to really give a good review. I had the salmon and it was quite good. I remember enjoying everything, but nothing else really sticks in my mind because I'm trying to take pictures every few minutes of the characters and keep my boys from running amok from the excitement of seeing Pooh and Tigger. Although I have to give a shout out to the Tigger-- he was AWESOME. Played games with the boys at the table, took J by the hand for the parade-- it was really sweet!
Shutters: Wasn't sure how this one would go, but the food was really good! I had the shrimp pasta, DH had the steak, boys had grilled chicken and fish. The kids meal was definitely the best all week - chicken was cooked just right. My pasta had a great flavor. Would definitely go back. Service was best of the week as well!
Sorry I didn't take any pics, but that's hard to do balancing three year old twins!!
Anyways-- that was our food experience of the week! We decided however, next trip we'll probably skip the dining plan. At least while the kids are young. IT's just so hard trying to make the ADR times and not be stressed and tired. Besides, I think we enjoyed our CS meals just as much as the TS!
