We Ate and We're Back!

[Tam1067]

We just returned and had dinners at Crystal Palace, Mama Melrose, Kona Cafe, Whispering Canyon, Restaurant Akershus, Whispering Canyon, Chef Mickey's, and 'Ohana.

We used the DDP, too.

Any questions?

Welcome Back!

Can you tell me about Kona and what you ate there? We're going there next month, just DH and I.

Thanks.

I'd like to know about Mama Melrose! How was it? Thanks.

Would appreciate your thoughts on Kona also, as well as WCC and 'Ohana. Thanks.

Basically we want a full review on all of the restaurants you ate at!!!! With that said did you run into any problems with the dining plan? Any restrictions?
THANKS!!!!

The DDP was generally a good deal with few restrictions. I did have trouble with my card not working when it was swiped. At most places, CMs could just enter the numbers manually but that didn't always work. I even had the card replaced once, but it didn't fix the problem. I solved it by having DH use his card most of the time, or I used the kids' cards instead. For some reason, MK had the most problems with their computers. One time, I tried to buy some grapes as a snack in Toontown but the computer wouldn't accept them (it kept telling the CM they were alcohol), so I got them for free because the manager said their computers were mixed up.

Kona was great--I had mahi mahi, DH had a chicken stir fry dish.

Whispering Canyon was okay but not worth the trip over to WL and probably won't be on our list next time. On our last trip, we ate there twice and loved it, but I think it's just not that special anymore. My youngest liked riding the stick horse, though.

We loved Mama Melrose, too. We had the Fantasmic package, ate a ton of food, and really enjoyed it. I had eggplant and DH had some type of pasta with chicken. The kids liked their food as well.

I'll work on complete reviews once I'm back to normal!

With the exception of Akershus it looks like you had our ADR's that we are doing in August!! From one family of 5 to another, we would gladly hear anything you could say about your dining!!

I would also like to know about 'Ohana. We will be there on Saturday night and can't wait. We have never eaten there before and really excited about it.

Just a tip on your cards, if you are carring them close to a cell phone, sometimes that can wipe out the magnetic code. We replaced mine several times last trip, then I stopped carrying my cell phone in the same pocket, no more troubles!!
