I am so sorry to hear of your bad time their. We have only ever done breakfast and we have done this twice and loved it each time.

This is a bit embarassing, but are turkey and pork suppose to be pink in the middle? I always thought it was suppose to be white, but reading some reviews it looks like pink's ok.

When we were there last November it was pink and I was afraid to eat it and by the time I finished taking pictures of my DH doing the birthday dance and my son doing the hula it was cold, so I didn't eat it anyways. We're heading back this November for another try and I dont want to worry if it's pink again.

Thanks!

Poultry i.e. chicken and turkey, should always be cooked through until the meat is done. I can have a pink 'tinge' around the bone cuts, occasionally, but the juices should always be clear.

All other meat can and/or should be pink depending on your tastes, but pink in the middle part only, the outside should always be well browned as this seals the meat and juices inside to retain the flavours.

I find it interesting that you all say you were rushed. Our experience was the opposite. We had an 8:05 ADR. We were seated at 8:15 and didn't exit until 10:05! Our server sort of disappeared for the last hour of our meal.

I talked with a friend who is a regular visitor to Disney and she thinks that those with earlier (around 5 PM) ADRs are rushed and if you have a later ADR, that isn't as likely to happen. I actually would have preferred an earlier ADR with three young kids but couldn't get one.

We felt rushed and we had an 8:50pm ADR. We showed up at our table the same time the bread AND salad arrived. We weren't even properly seated, drink orders had not even been taken...and yet the food just popped onto our table. The food came out fast, but our waiter just disappeared for the majority of the night.

The popularity of this place and how hard it is to get an ADR just baffles me, because the food is just OK, not stellar, and the service is absent. This is our 2nd time there (last time was 2005 and we had a window seat in the main room with all the action), and we didn't get a main room table. We were out in the boonies, oblivious to all the games going on. Yet it was a noisy place to eat because they blast out the sound on the speakers. I don't know if we will go there again. JMO.

It is possible that the meat was tinged pink because it was cooked on an open grill. Meat that is smoked often has a pink hue to it.

Disney chefs probably use thermometers to test the temperature of the meat before serving it. Meat should be cooked to 160 degrees in order to be considered safe to serve. If you were to get some meat that was undercooked just ask your server for another serving that is "well-done"
