Trip April 25- May 1
Myself, DH, DD (5), DS (2), DMIL (not on MYW dining plan with us)
Added my mother in law to our trip at last minute- she was on her own reservation so she dined with us but not as a MYW diner.
LTT character dinner- Food was good- Service was terribly slow- Character interaction was great- and we received a magical moment at this dinner where we got private time with characters and rang the dinner bell- really cool.
CRT breakfast- Food great- Characters great and not rushed- tipped extra because it was the only meal that service was prompt and good which is important to me with a 2 year old.
Cosmic Rays- Lines were terribly long- Lunch took forever but we all enjoyed our food- I used 3 CS here and fed 4 people.
Concourse Steakhouse- I was reluctant on trying this because of mixed reviews but it was delicious- one of the best meals- especially the dessert- but again service was slow- the cm let us order non alcoholic smoothies for our drinks. Childrens menu had their own childs appetizer- i think we ordered the childs shrimp cocktail which we knew she would eat but we would- 3 big delicious shrimp.
POR food court- We ate here for most of our breakfasts- mainly got two meals and split- MIL would always have our dessert which was fruit bowl and danish- DD and myself would split pancakes- DH got his own- DS just picked on whatever.
Sci Fi- paid out of pocket- didn't want to take the time to order apps and dessert- wanted in and out- felt like we were spending sooo much time eating by this point. Very good burgers as usual- nice break but wanted to get back to the parks- again service was slow.
Earl of Sandwich- Grabbed a quick sandwich late- Everyone was tired and cranky- My chicken salad was just so so but DH said his Jerk Chicken Sandwich was the best.
Tusker House- Food good- Kind of gave me a hard time for ordering 3 adult meals- I was only entitled to 2 adult and one child but wanted the 3rd adult for MIL and DD to share- CM did it but at first I thought she wasn't going to.
Boma- Awesome, Need I say more.
Kona Cafe- My favorite all week- I had Medallions of Filet Mignon- It was so good- Crab Cakes and dumplings for apps and cheesecake for dessert- DH passed on his dessert at this one- CM didn't offer DD an appetizer with her dinner here- I didn't ask cause I knew we going to have so much food already and there was nothing she would eat from the app menu.
Restraunt Akerush Character Dinner- We saw Cinderella, Ariel, Jasmine, Alice, Belle- Character interaction was great and not rushed- seemed very organized and the food was delicious and the CM was the best all week- the only thing is that i would have liked to have ordered more of the appetizer food but felt apprehensive since the CM did not offer- I do believe it was all you can eat but more was never offered. At CRT they always ask- I did feel the portions were on the small side for the price- but one of the best dinners in my opinion
MYW dining notes-
It was definatley worth it for us- we saved alot but i don't know how much- I started to keep track but it began to be too hard- I was originally going to pay out of pocket for child dinners but thought it may get too complicated with having my MIL getting her seperate check already- plus my DD wanted dessert at almost every sit down- So we paid out of pocket for our most inexpensive meal and it worked out great- We were able to feed my MIL from the plan for all CS meals- she paid her own way at sit downs. We were able to eat breakfast and lunch every day form the cs credits. I even cancelled a PS at Boatwrights for breakfast that I was going to pay for out of pocket because I had CS credits left over. It did seem once we said we were on the plan the service went down hill- it could have just been a busy time or people aren't tipping above the 18%- cs credits are most flexible at resort food court they never bothered us about ordering our third meal (childs meal) as an adult meal (like at Tusker House)- snacks were the usual ice cream and drinks but at the POR food court you could get juice, rice krispy treats, cookies, chips, pretzel, dirt pudding etc..I had a hard time using all snack credits so made everyone eat ice cream the last night- definatley go with a plan on how you are going to use your credits but remain flexible- Definatley happy with the plan.
