Does Teppanyaki still serve a salad with ginger dressing, and soup with your meal? It use to be included with lunchtime meal, but then it became 'extra'. Next week we plan on going to Teppanyaki for dinner.
I just returned from WDW and we ate dinner at Teppenyaki on our first night there, 7/18/06. It sounds like you've been there before, but just in case you'd like any assurance, the meal was great! It's now on our "must do every trip" list for Disney vacations.
On to your inquiry: The salad or soup is now additional and considered an appetizer on the Disney Dining Plan. Enjoy your trip!
