Just got back yesterday, 2 adults, our (OOP) Disney meals were:

B - Chef Mickey's, great fun, good character interaction, decent breakfast buffet (liked Goofy's vegetable lasagne, Mickey waffles the best). Our first character meal, a surprise for my dh - the look of terror on his face was priceless when he realized it was a character meal, but we really got into them and enjoyed all the ones we went to.

D - CRT - well...fun to eat in the castle, but food was mediocre and it was very crowded/loud/disorganized - also much bigger than I was expecting. Not a small intimate room at all, not sure why I thought it would be smaller. Got prime rib and pork, not great meat. Soup and salads were best parts. Desserts were OK (choc mousse cake and blueberry thing). WONDERFUL Cinderella who was kind and gracious and pretty and so great with the kids, we watched her hug them and sign their books and TALK to each of them, kneeling down to their level. This was our first "face character" and she was a jewel. Wouldn't do a meal there again. They were very nice to us for our anniversary, confetti on the table, gift of champagne glasses, too bad the food wasn't better.



L - Seasons at Epcot - delicious chicken flatbread, Cuban vegetable sandwich

D - Victoria and Albert's - will do a whole review later, too much to write here


B -1900 Park Fare Breakfast - Excellent omelets, good buffet. Alice looked uncomfortable, Pooh & Tigger were fine, we did NOT like the Mad Hatter - much too loud and abrasive - luckily we left before dealing with him.


Epcot snack - Norway school bread, very good (and I usually don't like coconut)

D - Marrakesh - liked atmosphere and entertainment, food was not yuck, but very bland and "americanized" (I'm not Moroccan but I make a few Moroccan dishes that are way more flavorful than these). Thought "Royal Feast" was overpriced for lamb shank (was called "roasted lamb" on menu so were expecting a better cut) and chicken. "Lentil soup" had chickpeas, not lentils. Baklava was ok. Wasn't bad, just boring.


B - Tusker House - yogurt and fruit, DH said his biscuits and gravy were better than Chef Mickey's (and he liked those, too). Also stopped by later for a cherry turnover from the window place - excellent.

D - Mama Melrose Fantasmic pkg - Bread was not very good (pesto was sort of strange, too green, kwim?) Asked for olive oil and it was poor. Calamari and salad appetizers were good, salmon and vodka penne entrees were both very good. Tiramisu was good. They really need better bread, not that difficult for an Italian restaurant.


L - Flame Tree. Shared a salad and a pork sandwich with beans and corn. Very good.

Surprisingly good treat in Tomorrowland - sweet cream cheese pretzel and hot chocolate - great mid-morning pick-me-up on a cold day.

Also ate off-site at Roy's, Giordano's Pizza (delivery), Capital Grille and Bahama Breeze if anyone has any questions about any of them (they were all really good).
 
For the reviews.
We were thinking about trying Marrakesh, but have been reading a few bad threads about it. I think maybe we'll try somewhere else. The menu didn't look to good to me, but DH thought it did. I'm just going to have to change his mind:bitelip:
 
Super reviews!!!!!! Thanks for sharing! I look forward to reading about V & A. Thank you again!
:thumbsup2
 

Thanks for the reviews - we are looking forward to our first visit to Chef Mickey's breakfast with our 2.5 year old son. The flatbread at Sunshine seasons sounds delish, too.

Bahama Breeze is great! My mom lives in Central Florida and we've been several times with her.
 
Thanks for the review. I am really looking forward to the V&A review, we are going their for our anniversary dinner in April.
 
Enjoyed reading your reviews ~ Thanx for sharing.
