We just got back today! We had an awesome trip!
This time we visited these restaurants for the first time:
Chef Mickey's (dinner)
1900 Park Fare (dinner)
Biergarten (lunch)
Hollywood and Vine (lunch)
We were very unimpressed with Chef Mickeys and the Contemperary Hotel in general. The buffet was lacking in a lot of ways. I do have to say though, that my 1 year old enjoyed it immensely and decided to try to wave her napkin around in every restaurant we visited after this one! LOL
1900 Park Fare was good but I didn't like where were seated. We were not in the main dining area and it really took a lot away from the experience. The characters here were also exceptionally SLOW. We were there for 45 minutes before even one came around (the Prince!). And then none after that before we left. I might try this restaurant again, just because I (and my kids) love Cinderella, and maybe we were just there on an "off" day. (On the other hand, we have visited Askershus previously, and that restaurant completely tops 1900 IMO!)
Biergarten was awesome. I loved it and because it was October Fest, my husband loved it as well. LOL. The food was great, service was wonderful and the entertainment was...well entertaining!
Hollywood and Vine was also very good IMO. I was scared of this restaurant based on the reviews but we thoroughly enjoyed it. The kiddos loved getting up to dance, the characters all came around in a timely fashion and the food was good. I liked that they had an area to make sandwiches at the buffet. It was a nice change of pace.
So..now...I need to plan my May trip!
