Great so far! I can't wait to hear about 1900PF. We are trying it for the first time this year. Do you think my boys will like it???

It may be a little "girlie" for them. Lets review, shall we?

We were hesitant to try 1900 Park Fare again since we really were not crazy about it in August, but DD wanted to see Cindy so what choice did we really have? I am gald she did becuase we really were pleasantly surprised. We arrived on time(amazing) and were seated almost immediately. We stopped in and met with the Fairy Godmother and were led to our table. They had two pasta stations. One was a penne in a red suace with artichokes, very good. The other was penne in a cream sauce with shrimp and asparagus, very very good. DW loves the strawberry soup and I refuse to try it. The salmon was excellant and so was the chicken marsala. The carving stations featured prime rib and turkey, both were very tasty. My favorite was probably the spring rolls with the spicy duck suace. So all in all we had a very pleasant dinner. DD was blown away by the fact that Cinderella and PC came by to say good bye and remembered her name . I am glad we had such a good time considering this was our last sit down meal of the trip .

Up next: How many times can one family eat at Artist Pallete? And a quick review of Pecos Bill and the ABC Comissary.

Well they are going to just have to deal with it! Mom wants to eat with Cinderella! (And the food sounds fantastic!)

DS5 has a huge crush on Cindy, so I think we will be OK.

Again, thanks for the great review!!!

I'm glad to read such a positive review of 1900 Park Fare since I just added that to my fall trip. I hope my meal is just as nice as yours was.

Thanks again for your reviews. We loved 1900 Park Fare. We'd go there again this August, but it's going to be closed, under rehab, while we're there. That's why we thought we'd try PSB. My DGD is 4 and can never get enough princesses!!

We just ate at 1900 Park Fare for the first time, and liked it so much that we decided to add it to our list for August. When I called for an ADR , they told me it was closed, but they would be serving the character meal at the Grand Floridian Cafe, so we made the ADR for there.

Now lets talk about the PSB. We have gone to PSB every trip that DD has made, so this makes our fourth time there.

I have to confess that PSB threw me. But after searching through all the restaurants in the Unofficial Guide and the list of restaurants (both TS and CS) under the dining plan it finally came to me. Princess StoryBook Meals at the Akershus.

I've been to Akershus and enjoyed the food immensely. (Part of my heritage is Scandanavian). But I was not familiar with PSB. My own kiddos are now in their twenties and having their own children and my grandchildren are too young (we're talking months, not years ) to take to WDW much less PSB.

Thanks, and keep the reviews coming.

Well all we have left to talk about are our counter service meals. So this should be easy.
Pecos Bill -After a light snack in the room and running around the MK all morning we were ready for some lunch. Considering we just finished splash mtn, Pecos Bill seemed like the obvious choice. We do like this place, good burgers and a giant fixins bar you can't go wrong. We all had bugers of differnt sizes. I opted for the double bacon cheese burger (when going for a burger, go for a burger ). DW had 1/4-Pound Cheeseburger, and DD had the same. Now, we were either starved or these were the best burgers we have ever had because we inhaled them. With the DDP we all got a dessert. The brownies were very good and DW saved the fruit cup for a light snack the next morning.

ABC Commissary-We have been here before and I have always gotten the fish and chips, but this trip we switched it up a bit. DW go tthem this time and they did not disappoint. I had made up my mind that I was going to try the cuban sandwich. I am glad I did. I do not know what makes this a cuban sandwich but it was fantastic. DD always a fan of a goo chicken nugget was also pleased.

Artists Pallete-We had been pretty much on the go (with the exception of our midday break) since Monday that by Thursday mid day we were done. We decided to relax at SSR and use the pool for the last day and a half. That meant a lot of time at AP. AP actually had a pretty good selection for meals. For breakfast DD and I had the breakfast platters. Both had eggs, bacon, suasage, potatoes, and a biscuit. DW had the western omelet (sp?) plate. We all were very happy. Me especially because DW shared the omelet. We spent the day by the pool and broke for lunch. I had the Turkey Caesar Sandwich. Very good. DW went with Roasted Vegetable Sandwich. Which she liked, but thought the word roasted implied it would be served hot. It wasn't. DD went out on a limb and had chicken nuggets. Which as far as nuggets go were actually pretty good. Before heading to DTD for a last hoorah we went back to AP for dinner. I had the pepperoni flat bread, which I highly reccommend. DW had yet another salad. Although this one came with roasted chicken and a very tasty ceasar dressing . DD expanded her culinary repitiore and went with her old stand by of mac-n-cheese. For dessert they make the best chocloate chip cookies there. They come out hot, and are huge. They are worth going there to try. One last thing, they have avery good system at AP. When you place your order the give you a buzzer so don't have to stand a round and wait. You can go get your drinks and pay while you wait.

All in all we really had a good time and many good meals . This was our first time using the DDP and we ate like kings and made out like bandits. I hope this was helpful, informative, and maybe fun to read. If you have a specific question I will gladly answer it later, but for some reason I'm starving.

Thanks for the info. We decided to stick with PSB since it will be something new for us to try. Also, The Cafe is a preplated meal. It's not a buffet and I think a buffet will be better for our group.

Thanks for the reviews! I really enjoyed reading them all. You made 1900 Park Fare sound so good. We had been there before and had a bad experience but maybe we'll give it another try.

I was glad to read your review of the Turf Club restaurant. We are DVC'ers and SSR is our home resort. But we have not tried this place yet. Glad you liked Artist Palette we love it, I especially like the flat bread pizza too!!

We will be using the DDP for the first time in April. Good to see you feel like you got your moneys worth.

BTW, glad to see a felllow NY'er and Yankees fan on the boards!
