Two weeks of Disney Dining (and 6 extra lbs later!)

What a shame about the cake, at least they refunded the cost. We love the Illuminations Cruise, you get such a great view.

Thanks so much for taking the time to post this review. I have never heard of those desserts in Norway so I would love to try them next time. I may even try the Wave, thanks to your review. Can't wait to read more.

Sorry to hear about the cake and I sure would be disappointed too.

Breakfast: Cape May Buffet

This is probably our favorite breakfast buffet. We always book an early reservation and it's never too crowded. We had the typical buffet fare -eggs, mickey waffles, fruit, etc. My favorite thing on the buffet is fresh asparagus. That just makes my morning. Saw the characters. Kids are out of the autograph stage but still let us take their pictures with the characters.

Lunch: We ate from the BC Marketplace this day. It was starting to rain so we skipped our original Hurricane Hannah plan. We like the marketplace. This time we took the food back to our room because the kids were getting tired, but they have a really nice solarium that we sometimes take the food to. I had the clam chowder and ham and cheese sandwich, dd and ds had the turkey with mozzarella and basil mayonnaise sandwich, dh had some kind of vegetable wrap. One dd wasn't hungry for lunch. She just wanted a fruit cup that we had in the frig (left over from some counter service lunch). The clam chowder was delicious and hit the spot. The sandwiches are always good. My one dd is obsessed with the turkey sandwich. The marketplace always offered to heat up the sandwiches if we wanted. For dessert I had a key lime tart, dd had a cupcake, ds had a brownie and I think dh got a yogurt. I loved the key lime tart! (forgot to put in from our 1st DHS day but dd and I shared a great key lime tart from starring rolls - a snack credit!).

Dinner: Ohana. Ohana is one of our favorites but we really got one of the worse tables this time. I had ordered the goody bags, table decorations and a mini pirate cake for ds for this meal. It was on our check in sheet but not on the table when we sat down. I talked to the server, he was upset that it wasn't told to him before we sat down but he brought out the decoration and the goody bags for the kids. We love just about all the food at Ohana. Of course I still had to order the kids the regular kids meals (even though dd is an adult according to Disney). They had chicken nuggets and burgers. They still were able to share the family style side dishes. The salad, wings, and potstickers came out first and we really love them. Then came the noodles and vegetables (mostly broccoi and carrots). I used to love the potatoes but the noodles are good and I think really fit in with the theme better. Then came the skewers. I had shrimp and steak and DH had turkey, shrimp and steak. All very good. We at the bread pudding and ice cream and boxed up ds's little pirate cake to take back to the room. It was just a tiny cake but he liked the pirate decorations. We love the bread pudding but I still miss the caramel with pineapple. Wish you could have a choice. My kids used to love the snow cones in the sand buckets but they're gone too.

Next up: Flame Tree Barbecue and Wolfgang Puck Express

We are eating dinner at 'Ohana for the first time in October. Did you HAVE to order kids meals for your kids or did they have them by choice?

 

[DisneyMomx7]

By choice - my kids are not the most adventurous eaters.

 

[Pooh&OurHunny]

When you got your kids the goody bags...did you order it when you made your ADR?

Yes - I also ordered the pop up table centerpiece the mini pirate cake.


Thursday, July 2

Today was our AK day. We ate breakfast at the BC Marketplace using cs credits. For the 5 of us we got 3 egg and cheese croissant sandwiches and one yogurt parfait. The sandwiches were plenty big enough for the kids and I to split. The cs breakfasts come with two drinks each so we had 6 drinks for the 5 of us. Saved two and took them with us to AK.

Lunch: Flame Tree Barbecue

This was our first time eating there. I always wanted to try it but DH and dd were hooked on Pizzafari's chicken parm sandwich. Now that it's off the menu we decided to try FTB. LOVED IT! DD and I had the pork barbecue sandwich with baked beans, DH had the chicken salad, and I think the other two kids had hot dogs ( a little fuzzy on them). All the adults had key lime pie for dessert - and it was fantastic! I would go back just for the pie, it really tasted restaurant quality, not quick service. DD and I loved the barbecue sandwiches, Dh thought the chicken salad was just okay. We will definitely use a cs here next trip! We walked a ways and sat down close to the river, the ducks were a slight problem, but not as bad as Caseys!

Dinner: Wolfgang Puck Express

We tried this for the first time in February and we were hooked. Probably the best use of cs credits in all of Disney! DH had the veg pizza, I had the spaghetti and meatballs and all three kids had cheese pizza. We had a very snippy cm at the counter when we were ordering. When I asked for the creme brulee for dessert she snipped "out of them, pick something else". No personality at all, rather rude. We ended up with cookies and brownies for dessert. Everyone loved the pizza. The spaghetti was okay, but I was sorry I hadn't ordered the margarita pizza like last trip, that was fantastic. We took the cookies and brownies back to the room as we were stuffed!

Next up: Hurricane Hannah's and Liberty Tree Tavern

 

[wilma-bride]

I've often found that the staff at Wolfgang Puck's can be a bit 'off' but the food is so great, I can forgive them

We might try Flame Tree BBQ on our AK day this year.

 

[dd50]

I will be trying WPE when we are there. Would love to try Flame Tree but already have a breakfast and dinner and know that I won't be able to eat lunch.

Subbing in and looking forward to enjoying more reviews So sorry about your pirate cake

Friday, July 3

Today was our rest day.

We slept in a little bit and grabbed some egg and cheese sandwiches from BC marketplace. The kids were scheduled for the Albatross Cruise.

They've done this before and always had a good time. There were a couple of really smart alecky kids on the cruise this time. I said to DH before it even left that I felt sorry for the cms on that trip, those kids were really fresh. My kids aren't angels but they were shocked at how rude and obnoxious the boys were!

After the cruise we headed over to SAB for the day. We all ate lunch from Hurricane Hannah's. They have the Beaches and Cream burgers now and they are sooo good. I think three of us had the burgers and fries, one had hot dog and fries and Dh had the flatbread. We all got the mickey bars for desserts. It is so nice because they have servers that come around and take your orders by the pool so you don't even have to go stand in line if you don't want to.

We were heading over to MK that night for dinner at LTT and to watch the 4th of July preview fireworks. This has been our tradition every time we go to Disney over the 4th of July. We love LTT and the kids are older so it didn't matter to us when the characters left. We were seated shortly after we arrived. The server took our drink orders and brought our bread. Now we just love the bread with honey butter! We've been known to go through several baskets (hence the extra 6lbs this trip!). We got our salad soon after, and then we waited and waited. We must have had the worse server every. The food (when we got it) was delicious as ever. It is one meal the kids really eat - they love the mac and cheese, turkey, potatoes etc. I really like the green beans too!. We were seated at 5:45. By 7:10 we hadn't even had dessert yet so we decided to skip it. We wanted to get out to get a good spot for the fireworks. This was disappointing because the kids really like the LTT dessert. DH was not happy with that meal. I took the kids outside to get a spot and it was still about 15 minutes later before the server even brought the check! It was just bad luck to get the server, we'll still go back to LTT.

Next up: Fourth of July!
Breakfast: Princess Storybook Breakfast
Lunch: Chefs de France (to see Remy and meet a Disser!)
Dinner: Rose and Crown ( or how we had to eat and eat and eat in order to keep our table for Illuminations!)

 

[Disney owl]

great reviews. What a shame about the bithday cake!

 

[DLo]

Thanks for taking the time to review. We are staying BC CL in Oct. and I am planning on b'fast in the lounge. It sounds like it will get us started for the day. We will also be eating Cape May for the 1st for b'fast our last day. My ds 11 loved B&C last trip and it is one of the reasons we decided to stay at BC. Glad we can have the same burger at HH poolside!! Looking forward to the rest.
