Day 1:
Chef Mickey! Noon reservation. Man is the banana bread French toast here good. Is it the same as the one at Olivia's? Food great, service great, character interaction as good as it gets w Covid. We went back a second time and the construction noise was loud. It didn't bother me, but may have if it was there on our first visit. Also, the character meals are much shorter- they get through all of the characters plus their parade in 45 minutes. Which is fine. In the old days I honestly hated being at CP at the 100 minute mark, plates cleared, waiting for Eeyore. So this is good. They gave us all the bacon my kids could eat, which is a lot, and extras of anything else we asked for.
Sanaa: First time with bread service. Love. I got the butter chicken and it was good, but DH and I both said we would just do bread service and dessert next time. FWIW DS said they have the best Mac and cheese he's ever had.
Day 2: Yak and Yeti- tuna nachos were great. The waiting area for this place always seems so stressful. We are Landry members are found it worth it just to be seated a little sooner.
Dinner we did QS at Riviera. The kids did pasta. DD only eats butter noodles and I liked that you could mobile order noodles here to be without sauce. It's the little things. We ate the Gelato from the cart by the pool and it was really good.
Day 3:
Be Our Guest- so I've never done table service here and had relatively low expectations with recent reviews. I had the scallops and French onion soup, all good. DS had the kids steak, which was really good and DD said the kids grilled chicken was delicious. For dessert they had the kids paint their own dessert trio which was really cute. I definitely think this is worth doing once, but the bill was painful.
Day 4: Garden Grill. We were pleasantly surprised by the food here! I asked for all sauces (gravy, chimichurri, etc) on the side because picky kids. It was no problem whatsoever and all of us ate. DS thought Mickey's special mac and cheese with the goldfish was hilarious. The character interaction here was a letdown- we were seated under either a bev refill station or a service station but there was a very small area above our table for the characters to get to, so most just waved from really far back. If you are seated there and want to see characters I'd ask to be moved.
Bad table:
Mobile order to go at Trattoria. I had the lasagna, DH had the swordfish- both so, so good. The kids had buttered noodles and pizza and ate them. I would do this again for sure! It took a while to prepare after I clicked "I'm here"
