I finally read all of the report so far! It's great, and makes me remember all of the yummyfood I ate. And now...I NEED to go back after seeing these photos. I really could go for a dole whip right about now, too
I just assumed you want a dole whip every minute of every day, was I wrong? Writing this has been helpful in deciding where I want revisit on the next trip.

Today is another day at Epcot
For breakfast we were planning to go to Whispering Canyon Café but decided the we’d rather sleep in so we changed our reservation to later at Kona Café again.
Jon and I had the big kahuna with no pineapple or macadamia nut butter for the pancakes. Everything was great. My favorite was still the french toast and I would probably stick with that if I have breakfast here again.
Robin had the blueberry pancakes. A very generous portion with tons of blueberries. It was delicious!
Meg had the 2 egg breakfast. She thought it was very good especially the sausage, she even ate mine too dipped in syrup.
For Lunch we had Le Chefs de France. At first Jon, he was nervous about trying a “french” restaurant.
The bread service is baguettes and butter. The baguette is fresh with a crunchy crust.
The Maitre’d Armand came round with Remy as we waited for our food. He was so adorable!
Jon played it safe, he had the french onion soup sans gruyere for his appetizer and the hamburger for his entrée. The soup was nice with a good beef flavor. The brioche bun was wonderful the burger could have been larger. Jon eyed my entrée with envy and declared he would be more adventurous next time.
Robin skipped an appetizer but did order a childrens portion of the mac and cheese. She had the croque monsieur for her entrée. She loved the mac and cheese, it was rich and creamy. She liked the croque monsieur, it was tasty but needed more ham to balance all the cheese. The salad that comes with the sandwich was very bland.
I had the french onion soup sans gruyere as well and the roasted chicken for my entrée. I had never tried french onion soup before because of the cheese but I figured I’d try it without the cheese for fun. It was pretty good. I loved the big chunk of baguette in it. The chicken was perfect! The sauce it came with was divine. The potatoes could have been cooked a bit longer but otherwise a great meal.
Meg also had the soup also sans gruyere. For her entrée she ordered the vegetarian lasagna. She thought the soup had too much bread but good flavor. She like the lasagna but said the sauce tasted canned.
Jon had the apple crepe dessert. He found it a bit small but delicious. He cleaned his plate
Robin and Meg had the crème brulee. The custard was good with a strong hint of vanilla and they didn’t over do the brulee, caramelized but not burnt. What happen the madeleine cookie this used to be served with?
I had the profiteroles aux chocolat. I would have preferred more of a milk chocolate sauce as I’m not a fan of bitter or semisweet chocolate but it was still very good. The ice cream was super frozen! It hurt my teeth a bit.
For dinner we had a quick bite at Sunshine Seasons.
Robin, Meg and I had the Mongolian beef. It was good as always but could have been a bit fresher. It was late in the day so that might be why.
Jon had the roasted chicken with I didn’t get a photo of, it didn’t look good but he said it was delicious, again a case of could have been fresher due to the late hour.
For dessert it was strawberry shortcake all around. This was fabulous as always so light and fresh with wonderfully ripe strawberries! Yum!
Today was a good food day with Chefs de France being the highlight of the day.

Today is another magic Kingdom day. For breakfast Meg and I went to Cinderellas Royal Table. Jon and Robin wanted to sleep in and not deal with princesses a second time so they had Ohana. I heard it was fun and the food good but thats all I know.
Meg and I both had the traditional breakfast which started with croissants, chocolate croissants, cinnamon rolls and a fruit bowl. We devoured the fruit bowl. Everything was fresh and ripe, the best fruit of the trip. The pastries were great too, we asked for extra croissants. The entrée was eggs, bacon, sausage and breakfast potatoes. Meg ate my sausage. She really loves the sausage they have at most of the restaurants, I think she could almost live off it. The breakfast was good but we mostly filled up on the starters. We were both given wands without asking! The photo was awful, of course. We had a lovely time.
For lunch we had The Plaza. A first for Jon and I. I now regret never having this before. It was so good! I loved the Victorian atmosphere in the small dining room. Such a lovely place to have lunch!
Jon had the off menu special of meatloaf. I was a huge portion of meatloaf mashed potatoes with gravy and corn. He loved every bite and practically licked the plate.
Robin and Robin had the chicken strawberry salad. Meg also had the baked potato soup. The soup was wonderful, nice and creamy and potatoey. The salad was very large Meg and Robin could have probably shared. The vinaigrette was yummy and lots of chicken and cucumbers!
I had the plaza club, no mayo. This sandwich was so big, you could definitely share if you wanted. The turkey was flavorful and the bacon still warm, I honestly didnt notice the ham too much. The tomatoes were nice and fresh and they put a lot on the sandwich The fries were nice and crispy. I wish this was my lunch today!
For desert Jon had the banana split. It was big but not as huge as it could have been. It was great and he finished it all.
Robin had the brownie sundae without the hot fudge. She loved the brownie it was moist and chewy. This thing was enormous!
Meg had a kids mickeylodeon sundae. She chose mint ice cream and sprinkles. This was just the right size for her. It was cute and delicious.
I had a sundae with strawberry ice cream and hot fudge. This was pretty big but not rediculou8sly so. The ice cream was great and the fudge went with it well.
For dinner we stuck close the resort because we had to start packing : (
We went to Ohana. I had just gotten my lapu lapu when our buzzer went off. The lapu lapu is huge and rummy, I hate to say it but a little more fruit juice wouldnt be a bad thing. We were close to the windows but not so much that we could see the fireworks. The food came quickly. The bread is wonderful. The noodles, chicken wings, wontons and veggies were all great. I especially loved the noodles. No one really enjoyed the salad. The meat came fast and furious, I enjoyed everything I tried as did Jon. Meg really like the steak. Robin tried a little of everything but mostly filled up on the starters. I am not a fan of bread pudding but the ice cream and banana caramel sauce is still to die for good! We had to waddle back to our room!
The breakfast and lunch photos were taken with my cell phone. they are great photos for a phone...but thats about it.
Today was a great day, we had wonderful service and fantastic food at every meal!

Nice job on your first dining report. I'm going to come back and read again when I have more time since you visited a few of the places we plan on hitting on our upcoming trip.
P.s. My first trip to WDW was a siblings trip too. I am the middle of 3 girls and was 30 at the time. So much fun and I was bitten and now go with my husband!!

So today is mine and Jons last day. Robin and Meg stayed on for a few more days.
We started the day with breakfast at Chef Mickeys. A first for Robin but not for Jon, Meg or myself. I have my last breakfast every trip here. While we all enjoyed this I think I may change things up the next time Im here. The buffet was good but other places had a more diverse selection. The characters are painfully slow because the place is huge. Even with just a quick stop at each table we had to wait over and hour to see them all!
This is where Jon and I parted ways with Robin and Meg! Hugs and sad goodbyes!For Lunch Jon and I had Tonys Town Square. We shared because the portions are ridiculous here. For starters we had the minestrone soup. It was ok but Ive had better. For our entrée we had spaghetti with Italian sausage. This was great. The sausage was tasty the sauce was nice and tomatoey and not heavy handed. For dessert we had the chocolate gelato. This was yummy, I just wish they would bring back the cinnamon gelato that made me fall in love with gelato to begin with.
Sorry took the photos after we split up the food!
For dinner we went to Hoop Dee Doo Revue again. We really love the food and show! I didnt take pictures the second time around. It was nice to just sit and watch for once. Our server was great! We were in the balcony on the side really close to the stage. An interesting view but next time Ill do category one, I definitely prefer the main floor. My favorite Johnny Ringo was playing, so that was nice!
twern't nothin' ma'am, thats just what us legends do!!
It was a nice way to end the trip. It was a great trip over all. So many wonderful meals. Picked up several new must dos for next time. Now Im sure you noticed a real lack of snacks in the report. Basically everyone had smart water everyday. We used up many snacks at Goofys Candy Company. We used snacks for the Starring Rolls breakfast. I had several frozen Fantas which I loved. We would have liked to snack more but we were so full from our meals. I would, however get the deluxe dining plan again, even if I had to pay full price. I was a great value and saved a ton of money. I really am not a fan of quick service so really this is the perfect plan for my family. A lot of people lately have really been down on Disney dining lately. I went on this trip with low expectations and was pleasantly surprised at almost every meal. My only complaint would be a few table service lunches when the service was snail paced. Im in a theme park for crying out loud!! No one wants a 2 hour lunch service or 3+ hour dinner! Well I guess that wraps things up for this trip. I think Ill do a report for my upcoming August trip. I hope my photos will be a bit better. I just got a great new lens for my camera for Christmas that should help for next time! See ya real soon!!
