This was our 4th trip to Disney in the last 2 years. We have been on the DDP each time. On past trips, we have LOVED this plan and it has been a factor in us returning so often because we just love the food.
Cast = me 31, DH, DS 5
CRT (lunch)- We ate here last Sept and expected the food to be awful as that was what we were told, but we both got the Major Domo and LOVED IT. This time we ordered the same thing and neither of us like it. It was SOOOOO salty. Last time it had lots of mashed potatoes in it, but this time not much at all. It just was not good to me, so I did not eat much of it.
The raspberry dessert was incredible. yum yum
Crystal Palace (dinner) - This has always been my favorite at WDW mainly because of their great selection and that awesome Spooned Corn Bread (can't remember exactly what it is called). It was very good again. Their prime rib is great too. It was certainly not our best experience there, but it was still overall pretty darn good.
Play n Dine @ Hollywood & Vine- we ate here twice last September because DS LOVED it. We had thought the food was just ok, but that the entertainment was fabulous. Knowing it made DS so happy, we booked it again this trip. Our server was really nice, but I tell you, this place was total chaos this time. Instead of the entertainment being fun, it was just plain annoying. The CM lady that was leading the dancing, etc. just did not have it together like they did last year. I could not wait to get out of there. The food was mediocre at best and I found many empty bowls when I went to get food. Out of the 6 choices in the kids section, 2 bowls were completely empty. When I went to get my food it was the same deal, several items were completely gone with no replacements in site.
At one time I counted 30 people in line for the deli section of the buffet. Finally someone came over and pointed out to them that they could go over to the other side. It just seemed much less organized than last time and we do not plan to go back.
Coral Reef- this was the best meal of our trip - we had felt really rushed by previous servers, but Jenny told us to take our time, which we appreciated. I had the Land & Sea app. which was ok. DH & I had the New York Strip and we both LOVED it. The best food I put in my mouth the entire trip. The atmosphere was awesome. DH had some sort of Chocolate dessert that he loved and I had the cheesecake, which I thought was good.
Sci-Fi - This was DH's idea. I did not want to do it because I am not a Sci-Fi kind of person, but he assured me DS would love it, so I gave in. Our server was really great. I had the chili for app and it was gross. DH had the onion rings and they were WONDERFUL. Wish I had got those too. I ordered the Shrimp Penne Pasta. Let me tell you, it was TERRIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The shrimp had some odd flavor that was not good (shrimp is my favorite food), the pasta was VERY dry and also had an odd taste to it that to me was not edible. The spinach was not good either. I just took a few bites and could not do anymore. DH tried it too and he thought it was awful too. Not sure how you can mess up pasta, but they managed to. It was the worst meal I have ever had at Disney, period. DH had the turkey sandwhich, he liked it ok, but said it was certainly nothing special. Our meal came to nearly $100 and I would have been very upset if I had to pay that much for it, but since we were on the DDP, it made it not so frustrating. I had the ice cream sundae for dessert and it was WONDERFUL!!!!!! It saved my meal from being a total bust.
I would not go back to Sci-Fi if they paid me. Seriously.
Let me know if you have any questions as I will be happy to answer.
