First I'll apologize for not having any food porn to feast your eyes on...I was too busy enjoying the food!!!
Our first night was 11/16. We were headed to the MK for MVMCP, and everything was booked up by the time I made ADR's, so we opted to eat at the food court at Pop Century.
DH and I both had the double cheeseburger with fries. He had chocolate cake, and I had carrot cake. DS had the cheese pizza, with a chocolate chip cookie, and jell-o. Everything was good, the burgers were decent, but not like a good old bar burger. DH liked it enough to have it again another day. I would have eaten it again, also, but I wanted to try other things!
11/17 we had breakfast with Stitch at O'hana's. The bread was good, but a little on the dry side. Eggs a little runny (the way my DH likes them, although I like mine a little more done.) Fresh fruit, bacon, sausage, potatoes, and Mickey waffles were also served. The juice was REALLY yummy! The character interaction was great. We'd go there again. Service was a little slow, but the waiters were hopping, so you can't say it was because they were slacking. We'd go there again.
From there we went to Downtown Disney. We were stuffed, and when it was time to eat, my DS wanted McDonald's, so he ate there, and DH and I went to Earl of Sandwich. We both had the BLT's, which were fabulous. I loved the bread. He had the cupcake, and I think I had chocolate something or other (cake? brownie??) for dessert. DS used a snack credit for a rice crispy treat with M&M's in it at Goofys. (It was so huge he couldn't eat all of it, and had the rest the next morning before we left for BB)
It was a late lunch, so when we went to Epcot that night, we ended up having popcorn and a pretzel for a snack.
11/18 my son had his first Mickey ice cream bar at Blizzard Beach for breakfast LOL I have to admit I didn't understand what the big deal was with Mickey bars...cause it's just an ice cream bar, right? Ummm..no. It's not. After having a bite, I decided I needed my own. The chocolate on it is to die for.
From there it was back to Pop for lunch, where DH had another double cheeseburger. DS had chicken nuggets, jell-o and another chocolate chip cookie. I decided to have the penne pasta with alfredo sauce. DH and DS both wanted to try mine, and they both liked it. Chocolate cake and carrot cake were the desserts again.
That evening took us to LTT at the MK. Character interaction was great. Chip & Dale, Goofy, Mickey and Minnie were there. I'm thinking Pluto was there too, but I'd need to look at my pics again! LOL We loved the food. Roast Pork, turkey, mashed potatoes, mac n cheese, salad, green beans, bread, and apple crisp and ice cream for dessert. I was a little nervous going here because recently I've seen mixed reviews. We'd go again.
This was the night that MK had EMH's, and we were there til 3am. Right around midnight we were all hungry, so we went to Cosmic Rays since many other things around there were closing. DH had a chicken sandwich and fries. I had chicken fingers and fries. DS had the same as I did with grapes and something else. They really do have the best "fixins counter" there. Everything you could need or want. We enjoyed it, but I think at that point we would have eaten anything! We still had 3 more hours to go!!! We needed to be refueled!
11/19 Skipped breakfast again because we had 11:15 ADR's at 50s Prime Time. The theming was awesome, and we had fun messing with Uncle Dave. DS had a hot dog, fries and the ice cream sundae. I had onion rings, pot roast (EXCELLENT pot roast!!!), and the brownie sundae. DH had meatloaf and angel food cake. Others in our party had salads, fried chicken, and s'mores. The onion rings are a huge order. Wish I would have ordered something other than onion rings since DH also ordered them-we could have easily shared the onion rings.
Dinner was at Whispering Canyon, and that was ALOT of fun!! All of us had the all you can eat skillet, and boy were we miserable when we walked out of there. We ended up splitting 2 pieces of cake between 6 people because we were miserable.
11/20 was breakfast at Pop. DH and I had the adult breakfast platter with scrambled eggs, biscuit, sausage, bacon and potatoes. DS had the mickey waffle with a piece of bacon and sausage. It was all good, not a WOW moment, and not a
moment either.
We had 3:45 ADR's at Hollywood and Vine for the dinner and a show package. I was nervous about this one too bcause of some of the reviews I had read here, but was pleasantly surprised. There are alot of things there to choose from, and the dessert bar is cute. Prime rib wasn't the best, but I'm a prime rib snob, and you just can't expect good prime rib on a buffet. Everyone walked out of there blissfully full.
The groups split up for awhile, and my friend and I had a fiesta margarita in Mexico, and were quite the happy pair when we made it into Norway for School bread. I was really looking forward to this after reading about it here and enjoyed every last bite of it.
Right before midnight we had a pizza from Pop Century, and that was a pretty good pizza. Kinda reminded me of Dominoes or maybe Papa Murphy's.
11/21 Lunch at Pop Century. DH and DS had the penne pasta with alfredo, and I had the parmesan crusted chicken. This is the same chicken that is served with the penne pasta. The parmesan crusted chicken is served with a salad instead of pasta. Both come with a bread stick.
My friend and I had frozen drinks at AK. I had an iced mocha, and she had an iced chai. They were both good, but hers was better than mine!
That evening we had 8:30 ADR's at O'Hana's. I requested a table by the windows (as suggested here on the DIS), and we were able to see Wishes AND the electrical water parade. Double bonus. We had to wait about 20 minutes past our ADR, but it was worth it to see both shows. Had a mai tai while we waited, and that was really quite gross. Didn't taste quite like any other mai tai I've had before. All 6 of us kept staring at one another as the food kept appearing on the table. They give you ALOT of food there. We skipped dessert because it was going on 10:00, and we wanted to close down the MK on our last night. I loved the peanut sauce for the won tons, didn't so much care for the chicken. I didn't touch the vegetables because there was so much other food available. The meats were all delicious as were the potatoes. Once again we all waddled out of there.
11/22 was departure day, so we had breakfast at Pop Century. Adult breakfast platters again, and DS had the chocolate chip pancakes, with bacon, sausage and applesauce. Good breakfast, tummy's full, but sad we have to leave.
Somehow we ended up with 6 snack credits left, so DS picked out a bag of Goofy gummies that you make your own burger, 3 Mickey rice crispy treats with chocolate dipped ears, and 2 Mickey chocolate bars.
Overall we had great dining experiences. The only things I didn't really like were the mai tai and the prime rib at H&V. I don't think that's bad at all considering everything we ate while there. The portions were huge everywhere we ate;although I have to say I picked many that were all you can eat/buffet, and family friendly places. We definately did not go hungry!!!
