Okay, let's see........
Via Napoli ~ We were not impressed. Even DH who will eat anything. Pizza was just okay. Terribly overpriced. Not even sure what DH had but it looked nasty!! But we seem to be in the minority on this one, most people like it.
T-Rex ~ Very good! Going back for a second time NEXT WEEK!! I had the appetizer plate as my meal (and I probably will again) and it is excellent! It comes with bruschetta, chips & queso, quesadillas, and onion rings! DH had some kind of shrimp pasta and really liked it. The kids loved the mini corn-dogs, and we got the donut holes with chocolate & caramel sauces for dessert.
Kona ~ Well I think you know my feelings on this one.
Tusker House ~ We did breakfast there once. The food was average. Not as good as Crystal Palace. The characters were great and it was a fun time!
Big River Grille ~ I highly recommend this one! But remember - you can't make an ADR there. They have a lot of different items on their menu and it is a nice change since it is not Disney owned.
And I will tell you about Yachtsman when we get back!!
Hope that helps!
You know, we have talked about Disney food so much that I already knew what you were going to say about most of these!
I knew you weren't pleased with VN, but I have read so many different opinions about that place. Some think it's the best pizza they've ever had and some think it was bad, like you guys. I really think a lot of Disney restaurants are make it or break it depending on what you order. It seems like there aren't many places that you can order just about anything and it's good. I think you have to know what's good and stick to that. I'm thinking that might be the deal with VN. I'm just hoping someone can tell me what that really good dish is there.
And yes, I knew you would approve of Kona!
We had a ressie there on the last trip but didn't make it. I'm determined to get there this time. I think I'm going with the Tonga Toast and I hope to talk DH into the Mac. Pancakes so I can try them too!
I have a feeling he will want the Big Kahuna though... just b/c of the name! You know how men always think bigger is better.
And T-Rex and BRG made it to the list just because of you! You have raved so much about them that I thought they needed consideration. The appetizer meal does sound pretty good. And i think you said you like the nachos at BRG, right? I wonder if they are on the DP??? I need to check on that.
I figured TH would be your typical Disney breakfast buffet, but I wanted to do at least one character meal and that's one of the few (if not the only) one that we haven't done yet. I think the characters are cute in the safari outfits too.
I'm going to ask for a favor... how about you PM me when you get back and go ahead and tell me how Yachtsman's was.
I don't want to have to wait until you get to it in the TR.
DH loves a good steak meal, so I think he would love it, but it is 2 credits and looks a little on the formal side. Take note of how everyone is dressed for me too if you think of it. We had a 'formal' meal on this last trip and well, it didn't work out so well.
I'll be getting to that soon. So I'm not sure if I want to go that route or not. I find it hard to be 'formal' at Disney.
Thanks for all your help! I always know I can count on you when it comes to Disney food!
We've done Liberty Tree for dinner and really liked it. We had the turkey, ham and beef platter with mashed potato and vegetables with apple cobbler and vanilla ice cream for dessert. I'm not a big fan of anything apple .. but this was yummy !
T-Rex is one of our favorites .. the food is comparable to Rainforest, but the atmosphere is excellent !
I think both meals at LTT sound very good. I'm going to have a hard time choosing. I love the menu for the dinner though. Thanksgiving dinner is one of my favorites of the whole year!
I think T-Rex looks neat too! We've eaten at RFC and thought the food was just ok. That's what has me hesitant about T-Rex. Seems like people enjoy the food better there than at RFC though so we'll see.
Thanks for your input!
Loving the TR so far! Your daughter is adorable!!
I totally understand forcing your child to try something! ITA that we all know our own kids and what works for them!
Bad mommy award goes to the woman in the above photo who has her very young child (quite obviously NOT an age of being potty trained) in the Mickey pool.
Some people really think they are above the rules and they are the ones who makes others suffer when the pool closes so it can be cleaned. Now
that is not cool!
Now, onto Part 3.....
Thank you! I'm glad you are enjoying it!
I think even DD was glad that I made her ride the AD. She really wants to cruise again and talks about the AD a lot, so I know I did the right thing. I just felt really guilty at the moment!
I never noticed that woman in the pool with the baby. I didn't know they weren't allowed in the pool either.
I've don't even want to think about them having to clear the pool!
YUCK! I'm sure it happens a lot though.
It's been quite some time since we've eaten at Liberty Tree Tavern. The last time we did, we had dinner there and the characters were there. The food was good but, to us, the characters made the meal.
We are giving Via Napoli a try for our upcoming trip in May. I have heard both good things and bad things about it so I'm a little nervous about it.
T-Rex: We love it! We have eaten there once each trip since it has been open. The appetizer plate as an entree is delish!
I know. I hate they got rid of the characters at LTT. I would love to see Minnie in her colonial dress.
I feel the same about VN. It seems like everyone either loves it or hates it. I like to try things for myself though. If I hadn't gone against advice with La Hacienda, we never would've know how much we liked it there. I'm still not sure about VN though.
Maybe I'll wait until I hear back from you!
Another T-Rex fan!
Maybe T-Rex will be better than I think. We might have to try it! I'm assuming you ordered the same thing Shelly was talking about.
WAIT???? Did I MISS something?? When is your next trip??
No, you haven't missed anything. I don't even have a trip booked yet!
I am going to go ahead and make some ADRs though for early November just incase we do decide to go. We just can't make up our minds about what we want to do. We all want to go back, but DH and DD want a pool. We can't afford both, so we have some decisions to make and that seems to take us forever!
As of today, no one is willing to give up Disney. By tomorrow, who knows!
