The Cheesecake Tour - Dining Report
- Thread starter sunny04
- Start date
Sorry its been so long since Ive added on here. Im in a job search at the moment, so I have filled most of my extra time with that
much less fun than Disney and TRs.
March 21
Youll have to forgive me, I thought I did so good with my receipts, but I seem to only have part of todays, but we didnt eat much, so I guess it will be okay.
Pizza cart the first food we had today was a cart over by Test Track, and both got pizza. That was some good pizza!! Yummy!
Canadas Mercantile Trade Post Big Turk Candy Bar and Maple Cookies. Both are good. The maple cookies are like eating pancakes out of a box. Really tasty! Total - $11.19
Rose and Crown Weve been so excited to eat here, but by the time we actually get there, Im not very hungry. There were several funny, non-food related occurrences during this meal, but I guess Ill leave those out to draw you over to read my TR.
Food wise, this was a pretty good meal. There were excellent things about it, and just okay things too. We started with the fruit and cheese appetizer, because I knew that was something I wanted to try, regardless of how hungry I was. Then I ended up just getting a little side salad with some sort of mustard dressing. DH got the grilled steak which came with mashed potatoes and some sort of bread thing that looked like a tuber. The fruit was tasty, and the cheese was fun! I will not even attempt to tell you the names, because I have no idea. 
But there were 4 kinds one was green, one was a little cheese scone, one was cheese in a pastry, and the other was a striped one. The green one was pretty good, very herby, but a little strong to eat by itself. It would have been good as a spread maybe. The scone was pretty bland, but I ate it with the cranberry jam that came on the plate and that was good. The pastry was WAY too strong of a flavor for either of us. The striped cheese was okay, but nothing too special. Still a fun little appetizer and tasty. And went well with the bread you get too. My salad was okay I guess
the dressing was not so great. It was too bitter, so I didnt eat much of it, but that was okay by me. DH liked his steak pretty well, as well as the potatoes. The tuber was weird. For dessert, we had the BEST DESSERT! The Chocolate Guinness Torte. Oooohhh yum! It looked like fudge pie, had the texture of a brownie, but was so mild and smooth and cool, and perfect. It was awesome! Ironically, better than any of the cheesecake we had on the trip! 
Total - $36.34 DDE Savings - $8.53
We also had popcorn later, but I dont think I need to review popcorn.

Thanks Cassie for the great reviews! I really enjoyed reading everything.
(and how was that popcorn anyway?)
(and how was that popcorn anyway?)
The popcorn was very tasty...although it was a chilly night, so it was cold popcorn very quickly. And I ate it anyway.
First of all, let me apologize profusely for the huge delay. Once I finished my TR, I sort of lost the will to write. I apologize. Here is the final post of our dining from the trip.
March 22
Boma The house juice here for breakfast is sooo good .you should all try it. I think it was mango and pineapple and orange maybe? No, wait. I think there was passion fruit. Hmmm .Im not sure, but it was tropical-y and tasty. The buffet here is pretty standard for breakfast. Nothing very African, which is why I booked it. DH can be pretty darn picky, and I knew getting him to Boma for dinner would be an impossibility. But getting him to breakfast thats a different story. And now that hes been there, there is a better chance for getting him there again in the future for dinner. (insert evil laugh here) The only things that seemed other than American was the pap and some other protein thing that tasted like corn. I tasted them both, DH did not. He watched me eat them as though one of us (the food or me) was from another planet. It was a fine buffet, but nothing too special. Total - 28.95 DDE Savings - 6.80
Earl of Sandwich This place is definitely as good as people say. Ive never been sure how a sandwich place could be so great, but it is. This was actually my favorite meal of the trip because it is my kind of food. I love sandwiches and wraps and salads. They also have an option here to get any salad on their menu as a wrap. I got a Caesar Salad Wrap. Its pretty fun to watch them make your food too. Oh, but its very busy, and has long lines, so be prepared for a bit of a wait. Dh got a Chinese Wrap I think it was a kind of salad too. He liked it, I LOVED mine. It was soooo good. They are huge wraps though, so we both only ate half, and ended up wasting the other half since we were leaving the next day. We took them to the hotel and tried to save them, but there just wasnt enough time left on the trip to eat them. Total - 18.54
Goofys Candy Company This store needs to be about twice the size it is, and the making candy section should be the biggest part. It also takes awhile to make your own treat. It took us over 30 min. just to get our treat. But man is it worth it!!!! I got a Mickey Rice Krispie Treat, dipped in milk chocolate, covered in reeses cups, drizzled with caramel. And let me tell you I nibbled on that treat for about a week, and it was delicious!!! Dh got a peanut butter fudge cookie, dipped in dark chocolate, covered in Oreo cookies. He didnt eat more than a few bites of his because it was so rich, and I never tried it...mine was too good to waste for eating his! Total - 6.93
Caseys Corner Yes, again. This is our favorite thing to do .get Caseys and sit in the rose garden. Ahhhh .perfection.
We split a Grand Slam (thats a hot dog for those of you who dont frequent Caseys), fries and a drink. It was fabulous and Caseys always is. Total - 8.07
March 23 The final morning
Crystal Palace We didnt have to wait too long for our early ADR. The food here is always great, and our waiter was very nice. The characters are always fun, too. I love Pooh, and he loves me, so its always a pleasant time at CP. For those of you who havent been to CP, its really one of the best buffets at WDW. They have a great variety and its always really tasty and fresh. They also have some of the best fruit on their breakfast buffet! And the puffed French toast is awesome. Total 32.36 DDE Savings 7.60
Thanks for reading! Watch for us again in October!

I love that you reviewed the Hess station! My favorite coffee drink anywhere is at the Sunoco gas station--pumpkin pie cappuccino in the fall! Mmmmmm! I even been known to stop for one in the scary part of town, where you trip over the giant barrel of beer on ice inside the store, before you can get to the coffee counter!

Interestingly DH doesn't like, I would even say hated, UK cheescake but loved the Cheescake Factory Cheesecake he had last year!
