Well were home
, but we had a great time. And did we eat. The cast consisted of me, DW and DD who is 3 1/2 (and don't forget the half). We tried the dining plan this time and it worked out great. I was nervous about service since tip is already included but thankfully that was never an issue. This trip we trip a couple of new places as well as some old favorites. We ate at 'Ohana, Le Cellier, Turf Club Bar and Grill, Crystal Palace (breakfast) PSB in Norway, LTT (dinner), and 1900 Park Fare. For counter service we tried Pecos Bill, ABC commisarry, and Artist Pallete. So lets get started.
2/18 'Ohana- This was our arrival day so since we do not go to any of the parks we thought we would try something new that we could take our time and enjoy. Now DW and I tried this place over 10 years ago and hated it. We thought the food was bad and the "entertainment" was cheesy, but after many trips and one DD later we thoiught we'd give it another go. I am glad we did. We checked in early for a 5:40 adr and were seated in under 10 min. Which was great because we were starving. Our "cousins" that night were great. The fried wontons and and dipping sauce were delicious. Our cousin ran all over the place looking for anything sweet that DD could dip hers in. The salad (yes salad) was alos very good but took a bacseat as soon as they brought out the honey-coriander chicken wings
. Those were fantastic. Even DD was eating them. I really liked the spicy-sweet and sour shrimp, but DW was less than thrilled (not really a fish fan anyway 
). Let us not forget about the cheesey scalloped potatoes. I could have made a meal out of those alone. Unfortunately by this time we were getting pretty full and we haven't even gotten to the skewers. Which were delicious. I liked that the meat was simply seasoned and grilled not dripping in sauce. I loved them all, DW liked the pork the best. DD liked her mac and cheese and the grilled turkey. She also loved getting up to participate in the parades, cocnut races, and doing the hula. Now lets talk dessert. I do not eat bread pudding ever, but the bread pudding a la mode with Bananas Foster Sauce was out of this world. Thant was the one thing I really wished they came around with more of
.
Coming soon. Can Le Cellier live up to the Disboard hype?

. More on that affliction in a minute. We checked in and were seated in under 5 minutes. Enjoyed our little geography lesson on Canada and got down to business. I am not afraid to admit it, I like a good beer, so when I saw Unibroue on the menu I was very happy. For apps I order the mussels and if I were at home I would have licked the bowl clean. I mean OMG they were the best mussels I have ever had. DW ordered a salad
. So I waited and waited. DW finally made it back to the table and was delayed by indecisive diners, and re-filling of food. I mean whats to be indecisive about? It's a buffet, try a little of everything. Well thats at least my strategy. My fav is still the breakfast pizza on the kids table, combine that with a couple of helpings of biscuits and gravy and you have yourself a good base. The veggie fritata was excellant as well as the french toast. Just when you think it's safe DW comes to the table with a pastry sampler platter.
Yum. DD had a blast marching Tigger, and ate like a champ. So after we were throughly stuffed we made our way over to splsh mtn. We figured the extra weight we added would spped up the drop.
I've eaten there before and enjoyed the food and the atmosphere.

thats a whole different story. Lets move on to LTT. We checked in and were seated promptly towards the front. Our server was very friendly, took our drink orders and returned quickly with them and our salad. Now I am not the salad fan that DW is but it was very good. I do wish they wouldn't drown it in so much dressing. I mean yes it's good, but lets save some for the other guests. Seated next to us was a two tables that made up one party. They were very nice, but dominated the space and our waiters attention. LTT is essentially a buffet. They are making the same thing all night for every table so the food should not take as long as it did to come out as it did for us. Well the two table party were trying to surprise someone for their birthday and our waiter felt it his duty to wait and hide for the perfect moment to bring out the cake. So after the impromptu surprise party the service picked up. We like this place because it's real food. No burgers and fries(not that I have anything against them), it's comfort food. Stuffing, mashed potatoes with gravy. The beef did seem a bit dry and I wasn't as crazy about the ham as DD & DW were. I enjoyed the turkey best. Then you wrap the whole thing up with warm apple cobbler with ice cream. The characters here are also very good. DD is still a bit scared of them and they do very good job of interacting without being to intrusive. So after liberating our appetites we were off to see what kind of trouble that Donald could get himself into. 
Your review of LTT was right on. I had the Declaration Salad with the strawberry vinigarette (sp?) which was one of the best salads that I have ever had. I followed that with the Pilgrim's Feast which was, well, a turkey dinner. Good, but nothing special. I also had the warm cobbler which was very good. Grades: Salad A+, Entree B, Dessert A-.
