Dining Plan Trip Report August 24th to August 28th All Star Sports
We arrived late Sunday, took DME to the All Star Sports, arrived, checked in and were ready to eat at 7:30PM.
Sunday 8/24 The Wave, ADR 9:10PM
We arrived early at 8:00PM and were seated at 8:30PM we shared 1 TS.
We had a smoothie, Chicken Pot Pie, and Ice Cream. Food was good and
Service was quite good. Restaurant is dark but pleasant. 1TS
Monday 8/25 Breakfast at ASSp Food court, used up 1CS, and 1SS. DH had a breakfast
Platter and two cold drinks. I had cold cereal with milk and used my mug
Food court was busy but we were able to eat and get moving quickly.
Lunch at Rose & Crown, we shared 1 TS, fish & chips were good. I paid cash for the soup...with bread & butter.
Dinner at Kona at the Polynesian during a Florida Monsoon. 2 TS
We had Beef Teriyaki - 10-oz sirloin strip, grilled with pineapple teriyaki glaze, mashed Yukon Gold potatoes, and stir-fried broccoli florets. - $20.99
And Macadamia Nut & Chive-crusted Mahi-Mahi - Served with watercress salad, warm Shiitake-soy vinaigrette, and sticky rice. - $20.99
And Chocolate Fondue for dessert. Pleasant location, but the roof was leaking a little during the Florida monsoon…we just slid over a little to avoid the rain. Good Food.
Tuesday 8/26Breakfast the same at the ASSp food court, 1CS and 2SS for a breakfast platter, two cold drinks, cereal & milk and a cherry Danish for later.
Lunch at the Magic Kingdom, Cosmic Rays,
Bacon Double Cheeseburger - Served with your choice of French fries or apple slices. - $7.59, we also got an extra bun no extra charge and a large fountain drink. We shared 1CS.
Dinner at Coral Reef in Epcot
Shared 1 TS, had linguine with mussels, shrimp, salmon, mahi mahi in a chicken base. Had a smoothie for a beverage and ice cream for dessert. Good food and we had a window seat. Our ADR was at 7:00PM, we arrived at 6:55PM and there must have been 100 guests waiting to be seated, but we were seated by the aquarium with only a 5 minute wait. Again, good service and good food. 1 TS
Wednesday 8/27Breakfast the same at the ASSp food court, 1CS and 2SS for a breakfast platter, two cold drinks, cereal & milk and a cherry Danish for later.
Lunch: We were at Animal Kingdom and the CS service restaurants were packed, so we went to the Rainforest Café and paid cash for our lunch.
There are not enough choices for CS at the Animal Kingdom.
Dinner: We had ADR at Tutto Italy in Epcot for 7PM, but we went to Olivia’s at Old Key West at 6PM. I wanted the Buttermilk fried chicken. It was not on the menu, but they had a special which was the buttermilk fried boneless chicken breast which was a better choice. It came with potatoes and a vegetable. I had a chocolate milkshake and ice cream.
DH had the prime rib, a strawbeery smoothie and he skipped dessert. Food was great and service was even better. We wanted some homestyle cooking at we found it at Olivia’s. 2TS
Thursday 8/28 Our departure day
Breakfast we used up 2 CS, DH had a breakfast platter and I had a Mickey Waffle, we had plenty of CS to use up. DH had two cold drinks and I had a hot beverage and a cold beverage 2 CS
Lunch at Chef’s de France at 1:30PM We only had 1 TS left over and 2 CS so DH had Quiche Lorraine - The famouse ham and cheese quiche. - $10.95
With a coke and ice cream. 1 TS I went to the Pastry Store and got myself a Ham and Cheese Sandwich, a lovely pecan Danish and a bottle of water with 1 CS.
We had to hoof it back to All Star Sports for our 5:05PM DME pick up.
At Assp DH used up another CS for buffalo boneless chicken wings, a beverage and a mickey bar. I used up a SC for a pack of jelly beans …
All in All we had a good trip, but since we like to share meals, the Dining Plan is not the best choice for us. We tried it using the FREE promotion and paying RACK rate of $84 at Sports. We also like to rent DVC points, or use the AP for our room. We loved the food, but it was too much for us. We did not book the bounce back for next year. Want to look at other options.
