Dinner tonight was at Chef Mickeys . . . we had dinner here a couple of years ago and loved it. We had an early booking 5.20 as we were going to
MNSSHP for the first time . . .
These are our outfits! I was so excited to dress up!! We don't really celebrate Halloween in the UK to the same extent you do, so this was great!
Anyway! Considering we had such an early ADR and arrived on time we had to wait over 15 minutes to be seated . . . when they finally took us through at least half the tables were empty I hate it when they do that!
Service was OK here we both really thirsty and went through about 4 pomegranate lemonades each! The server seemed a bit surprised but she kept them coming! Characters were hit and miss. Goofy and Pluto played with us for a while. Minnie and Donald said a quick hello and posed for photos. Mickey just walked past and waved and didnt even stop for a photo!
The line for the buffet was huge and moved really slowly. Outside of
Disneyland Paris where the buffet lines took about 20 minutes to get to the front (and Im not exaggerating!!) this was the longest I have ever waited in a buffet. In fact it was so slow that we each got our appetiser and entree plates at the same time to save us having to get back into the line. In reality it was about 10 minutes but thats still a long time in a buffet line, I think! One lady decided she wasnt going to wait and came and shoved in the line in front of me without saying a word of apology or explanation, just as we got to the carving station!!! I wasnt happy!!! I was torn between tapping her on the shoulder and pointing out where the back of the line was, or moaning extremely loudly (and boy, do I have a loud voice when I try!) about people who line-jump. I went for that option . . .!!!!!
First plates . . . this is mine. I had some cherry tomatoes which were nice very firm and fresh. Some lumps of cheese well, you cant go wrong with cheese can you?! This was nice tasting. Just cheese but I could have eaten a whole plateful to be honest I cant get enough of the stuff! Pasta salad and potato salad both fairly nice the potato salad was nice and creamy. And two bits of cornbread which were nice fresh and tasty.
This is Tonys first plate:- just salad and focaccio bread. He cant remember the salad but says the bread had nice flavour and was soft and fresh.
I will post both of our entrée plates together as we seem to have had pretty much the same things as each other!
Mine-
Tony's-
We both had ham from the carving station. I had prime rib as well. I thought both of these were really nice, especially the ham it had a lovely taste. Broccoli was nice lightly cooked. The mashed potato was lovely as you may remember I have an obsession with mash and this was light and creamy. We had creamy dauphinoise potatoes as well which were really good we both loved those. Turkey casserole was really nice big lumps of turkey in it! The gravy was really tasty and flavoursome. . . you can see on the photo how close it is to the edge of the plate - well I managed to drip it all over my toes walking back to the table!!! Yuck!! Tony had some cornbread as well which he liked, though not as much as the one from House of Blues. Tony especially liked the dauphinoise potato and the turkey casserole and gave them 9/10. I give the whole plate a good 8/10.
Dessert! This is my plate!
We have here a sugar free brownie that was nasty! More like cake instead of brownie, and nasty artificial taste. The oreo mouse was really good mousse was lovely and rich, and the oreo was perfect hadnt gone soft at all. I went and got a second of these!! The cheesecake . . . I really didnt want to like this as I was so full, but after one bite I was sold really thick, tasty and creamy lovely! So I ate it all. And felt very ill for most of MNSHP!!!!!
Tonys plate.
Carrot cake, brownie and ice cream. The ice cream was average, carrot cake was good, brownie OK. He was really full before we got to dessert though which may have affected his opinions!
All in all a pretty good night. We would go back again, after a couple of years away!
Up next . . . Kona breakfast, Columbia Harbor House lunch and Hard Rock Café dinner.
), and Flame Tree (We love BBQ).
eating my filet and risotto. It was sooooo yummy. My DH didn't love that potato gratin. It had a very strong onion flavor. We, too, had a wonderful server. Can't wait to go back!!
we gave in though and was still worth it, just annoying!! xx (am dying for an Earl now, thanks very much!!)
Will be adding the Captains Cider to my list and looking for the self serve Dole Whip. Yummy!
(otherwise known as Thanksgiving!) I think you'd fit right in at my Mom's house! 
*Sigh!* The nuggets were actually nice enough, not too exciting but at least the meat seemed fresh rather than being made from reformed bits and pieces, and they were nice and hot. The nuggets get 7/10 and the sandwich 9/10. Tony gave the nuggets 7 and said they were pretty average.
and your Alice costume is excellent: glad you were representing the UK, character-wise!
