We just got back last night and had a great time. Very small crowds and amazing weather! We were on the DDP with 2 adults and 2 kids. I did take pictures which I hope to have ready by the weekend. I'll be reviewing:

TS
Chef Mickey's, Le Cellier, Ohana, Mama Melrose, Coral Reef, LTT, Crystal Palace

CS
POFQ food court, Sunshine Seasons, Casey's, Columbia Harbour House, Pizza Planet, Flame Tree BBQ, Dole Whips

Ok, here goes:

4/30 This was our first night so we headed to Chef Mickey's for our 6:35pm ADR for dinner. We did this last year and enjoyed it - this time not so much. They seated us by the kitchen and we didn't have a good view of anything. The food was just ok. It seems like there was more to choose from last year. We had a few salads, the prime rib, and the parmesan mashed potatoes. Believe me, you will not leave hungry. The character interaction was pretty good and the kids got all the autographs.

5/1 - this was our first full day. We had a quick breakfast at the POFQ food court then went to Epcot for rope drop. We had lunch at Sunshine Seasons. I had the chicken caesar salad which was great, my dh had some asian stuff which he said was just ok, DS 6 had mac and cheese and some of my salad, and DS 5 had a turkey sandwich which he gobbled up every last drop. We were pretty hungry at that point.
For dinner we had ADRs at Le Cellier for 5:50pm. We were seated within 10 minutes (I think we checked in a bit early). We all LOVED this place. We had the cheddar cheese soup with the pretzel bread which was to die for. Dh got the caesar salad for an appetizer and it was one of the best he's ever had. Then I had the mushroom filet, dh had the NY strip with a side of baked mac and cheese. It was all fantastic! DS 6 had the grilled steak, and DS 5 had ummmm...can't remember. Pizza maybe?? He pretty much had that everywhere...For desert, I had the smores and DH had the creme brulee. Everything was wonder and we will definetely be back. Oh, we also got the glowtinies which we loved.

5/2 CHH lunch in Liberty Square. I had the Lighthouse Sandwich (with hummus), dh had the Anchors Away (with tuna). It was pretty good but I'd rather we did Peco's Bill. We went to the P&PP that night and had dinner at Casey's. We all had the hot dogs and fries and they were realllly good. We also had dole whips for desert and you can never go wrong with them.

5/3 - Ohana dinner - this was by far our favorite meal of the trip. What a feast! The salad was yummy, the sticky wings were awesome, did not care for the dumplings. The noodles was fantastic and so were the meats. Very tender and great with the dipping sauces. The desert was the best of the whole trip. It was the pineapple bread pudding and all I can say is OMG! ;)

Will post more later. I'll be happy to answer any questions. :goodvibes
 
You ate and most of the places we will. Very interested in your Mama Melrose experience.
 
5/4 - Pizza Planet & Mama Melrose. We got the kids and dh the pizza meal deals with Mickey rick krispie treats and apple slices. I didn't get anything because I knew the kids wouldn't finish their pizzas and I was right so I had some of my son's. It was actually pretty good. We ate outside and people watched since the weather was pretty nice. There is seating inside and it's nicely air conditioned. We would definetely do this again.

We had ADRs for Mama Melrose at 4:40pm. We were seated pretty quickly. Dh wanted the artisan breads with the different spreads for an appetizer. They were ok but nothing special and I doubt I'd get it again. For entrees we both had the Penne pasta with vodka sauce. We were not impressed and were regretting it. It was not like any vodka sauce I've ever had (and I've had plenty!);) . I doubt we will go there again. We went last year and enjoyed it, but I think they changed the menu a bit because they did not have the pasta dish that dh had last year.
 

For dinner we had ADRs at Le Cellier for 5:50pm. We were seated within 10 minutes (I think we checked in a bit early). We all LOVED this place. We had the cheddar cheese soup with the pretzel bread which was to die for. Dh got the caesar salad for an appetizer and it was one of the best he's ever had.

Yep it's on there. I think it's called the steakhouse caesar or something like that. It's very good though. Yep, the mac and cheese has little bits of bacon in it - soooo good! :thumbsup2
 
5/5 - On our AK day, we had lunch at Flame Tree BBQ. It was soooo good. Dh and ds 6 had the bbq pork sandwich with a side of beans and cole slaw. Ds 5 had a hot dog which we took 3 bites of so dh finished it off for him, while I finished the bbq pork sandwich. If you haven't yet realized, my kids are not very big eaters. Well, ds 6 is a good eater but ds 5 will take about 5 bites of something and be done. Oh, we also had the frozen bananas and Mickey bars at AK. I think that the only place to get the bananas is at AK...:confused3

For dinner we went to Coral Reef at Epcot. I had the mahi mahi with the jasmine rice and mango salsa, and it was amazing! I just about licked my plate that's how good it was. Dh had the lobster cream and soup crab legs, and he devoured those as well. The kids each had the pizza meals. They were really good as well. For desert, we both got the Wave and it was great. The kids did the build your own sundaes. All in all we love Coral Reef. The food and service is great and you can't beat the atmosphere.

5/6 - We went to Typhoon Lagoon this morning and DS 6 ended up getting hurt at the wave pool so we had to leave at about 12:00 had lunch at the POFQ food court. I had the chicken quesadillas with rice, beans and salsa. These were some of the best quesadillas I've ever had. Dh had the potato cheese soup and the chicken caesar salad. I didn't try the soup but he said it was great. I did try his salad and it was excellent! :thumbsup2 Ds 6 had a cheesesteak and DS 5 had a hot dog I believe. The cheesesteak was very good and so was the hot dog.

For dinner we went to MK to LTT. This was very good - even better than the last time. We had the salad to start with, then they brought out the turkey, beef, stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy, green beans, and mac and cheese. Everything was so fresh and soooo good. Definetely come here hungry. As a side note, I think this was the only place where we had a bit of a wait to be seated. Our ADR was for 5:30 and we sat down at around 6:00. The character interaction here is great as well. I think the characters came around about 3 times.
 
Great reviews, I didn't know POFQ had chicken quesadillas! Since we'll be staying there I'll have to try them. Thanks for sharing!;)
