DAY 1 - Crystal Palace - Breakfast

Okay this was our favourite breakfast last year and again our favourite this year. We arrived 20 minutes late for our reservation (thanks to a terribly delayed flight the day before, we got in past midnight ) but we were seated within 5 minutes. A chef came to our table within 5 minutes to discuss dd's peanut allergy issue. I was informed everything on the buffet is fine, except the baked goods come from an outside source and "may" have come incontact with peanut products. So she had her mickey waffles (her fave) and some bacon and eggs and fruit. All the food there is fresh and yummy. The characters were all great. The characters were Pooh, Tigger, Eeyore and Piglet! Crystal Palace for breakfast is always a must do for us!!!!!!

Up next Coral Reef dinner with pics!

DAY 1 - CORAL REEF - DINNER

We really enjoyed Coral Reef last year so I booked it again this year
Last year I remember waiting a good 20 mins for a table, this year it was just a few minutes, gotta love that!!!!!
We had a great booth seat right infront of the huge aquarium and dd enjoyed looking at the fish and naming them.

DH & DD had the Pirate Punch which comes with either a Tinkerbell clip on light or a Captain Hook clip on light. The drink is very good!

I had a Strawberry Daiquiri, yummy!!!!!

We did not order any appetizers this time around.
For our main meals, I had the crab legs that came with a corn salsa side. The corn salsa was terrible (yuck) and the crab legs were just okay.

DH had the NY steak that is served with a potate gatin and veggies. Sorry the pic was taken after he had started eating. But he said his meal was very good. The steak was cooked just as he asked.

Grandma and grandpa both had the mahi mahi served with rice and they both really enjoyed it. I remember this is what I had last year and it was also very good last year.

DD had the macaroni and cheese and its the first time she has had macaroni and cheese in the USA (we're from Canada) and she hated it. It did taste very different then what she is use to. A chef did some to our table about 8 mins out. DD had the ice cream sundae for dessert (without the real M&Ms b/c of her peanut allergy) and she really enjoyed that, what's not to enjoy...LOL

For dessert dh had the baileys chocolate mouse and he enjoyed it so much he didn't share

My mom and I had the key lime tart. It was TOO SWEET, probably would not order it again. But it does look pretty doesn't it?

Grandpa had the sorbet and he really enjoyed it.

So all in all we still enjoy Coral Reef and we will definately return!!!!!

UP NEXT 1900 PARK FARE BREAKFAST (probably tomorrow)

Enjoyed your review with the pictures.

Do they serve the Pirate punch anywhere else.

They had it at 50's PTC, and I'm thinking a few other places, but I can't remember for sure where.

 

[slavike]

There is something about that Mahi Mahi. My mother had it last week and said she thought it was perhaps her favorite thing of the week, even over California Grill.

Keep the reviews coming..they are great!!!

DAY 2 - 1900 PARK FARE Breakfast

Okay I'm back. On day 2 we had breakfast at 1900 Park Fare, we have had dinner here but never breakfast so this was one I was looking forward to. We waited about 5 mins for our table and the chef took about 10 mins to come talk to us about dds peanut alergy. It was your typical breakfast buffet, overall good. The characters were Pooh, Tigger, Mad Hatter and Alice, and Mary Poppins. I just loved Mary Poppins, she really interacted well and her accent was well done. Our waitress wasn't very good unfortunately, very rushed. Sorry no pics for this one.
Would we go back, "maybe".


Up Next Tony's Town Square (with pics)

 

[mermaid&cinderella]

DAY 2 - TONY'S TOWN SQUARE Dinner

Okay I was a bit nervous about this dinner b/c I had read sooooo many terrible reviews on the disboards about Tony's Town Square.
When we walked in there were so many people waiting I was anticipating a long wait, but we only waited about 8 mins. We were seated at a really small table, I hate small tables.
I also did not like our waiter, he was very scripted and felt like he had to keep reminding us of what is on the DDP since I was using it......"I know what's on it....duh...." I was annoyed

We ordered two serving of the calamari for an appetizer and I was surprised that they were actually good and it had a great tomatoe/olives mixture on them, yummy!!!

I ordered the Shrimp Pasta and wow I had never seen so many carrots in a pasta dish, it really took away the taste of the dish. It would have been good if they didn't put so many carrots.

DH ordered the NY Steak and he did enjoy it. Sorry but I took the picture after he had started eating.

Grandma and DD ordered the Spagetti and meatballs. The meatballs were good but their tomatoe sauce had too many chunks of tomato, not my kind of sauce. Here is a pic of grandmas plate:

Grandpa had the seafood diavolo and he said it was good, not too spicy. You can also see in this pic the bread and olive oil they serve with the meals.

So overall the entrees were okay. Now its time for dessert:

DD had the ice cream with mickey sprinkles. They can't screw that one up...LOL

DH had the ice cream bomb and he really enjoyed it.

I had the chef's cheesecake and let me just say my downfall is cheesecake, I Love Cheesecake, its always the dessert I get if its on the menu so I was looking forward to eating this one but it SUCKED. It wasn't a cheesecake, it was like a whipped cream thing, it was just WRONG.

Grandma and grandpa both had the walnut lemon cake and it was just okay, a bit on the dry side.

We also ordered some cappuccinos and they were good.

So would we go back.........."maybe". If I couldn't get an adr for my top picks I would try Tony's again.

Up next CRT breakfast!
