Hi all!! After a year of reading and enjoying all of the pictures, I was so ready to dine and enjoy all of the Disney food... unfortunately I screwed it up royally!! :lmao: When I planned, I originally had us using all of our meal credits in a perfectly organized way... well that didn't work and I know exactly why.
But i'll explain that, and how many credits we actually left with at the end--for now the fun stuff
The cast:
Me-Beneeta, 22, mother of 2, student
Ty-5 1/2, talkative(!!!!), active
P-3, autistic-nonverbal, teddy bear

We had 12 Dining reservations
Day 1: Dinner Yak & Yeti
Day 2: Lunch: Liberty Tree tavern Dinner: CRT
Day 3: Dinner: Chefs De France
Day 4: Lunch: Sci-Fi Dinner:Garden Grill
Day 5: Breakfast: Tusker House Dinner: Sanaa
Day 6: Lunch: Crystal Palace Dinner: Narcossesse's
Day 7: Dinner:Brown Derby
Day 8: Breakfast: O'hana
 
We arrived at our resort at 10:30 and our room wasn't ready so we went for some lunch and our mugs
I got 2 kids meal pizzas (cheese-P, pepperoni-Ty) and a Cheesesteak for myself --that was 3 credits

The cheesesteak was decent, I could tell it was steak-em quality but I was hungry, it came with homemade chips which were good-the boys loved them
I got a vanilla cupcake as my dessert--we shared that
I didn't get good pics of the boys meals, but here are pics of them eating

P6220302.jpg

P ate his with a spoon, I got that for his applesauce but whatever works!! :laughing:

We had a reservation for Yak & Yeti at 4:30 but I was exhausted so I called to change it to 6:30 with no problem!!
At 5:45 we left for the buses, unfortunately I didn't time it very well so we got there around 6:45--luckily it was okay!!
Our server was nice, she explained the DxDDP and I ordered our appeteizer-seared potstickers
P6230330.jpg

These were yummy!!! Sorry about the pic I ate and then remembered
I got Duck for my meal
P6230331.jpg

it was good but I forgot that duck can be greasy and I had to stop eating it after a while..the veggies were bland so I skipped those
For dessert I ordered the wontons
P6230335.jpg

they were okay... reminded me a lot of cream cheese toaster streudels especially with the sauce but I ate them all!!

The boys got Lo-mein and fries, they barely ate it but they're finnicky eaters
P6230332.jpg

For dessert they got ice cream sundaes, and P got a frozen lemonade

3 dining credits used

I used 6 credits the first day--we were off to a decent start!!
 

I ususally don't read a lot of reviews, but this one popped up on my Yahoo Applications page and caught my eye. Subscribe! Your boys are wayyy cute by the way.

:surfweb:Gimme more!
 
Your thread title caught my imagination...can't wait to read more. And your kids are adorable!
 
Great start to what I can tell is going to be a great trip report! Can't wait to see how this trip turned out!:cool1:
 
This was one of the most planned days of eating I had for the whole trip, for breakfast I had (on my overly organized spreadsheet) that we would use a few snack credits at Main Street Bakery. However, my bossy 5 year old had a completely different plan-- rides! so that plan was out, we ended up getting 2 sprites at a cart for 2 snack credits (bad mommy moment)

After some fun we were off to our 12:30 ADR at Liberty Tree Tavern, I was really looking forward to this and P came willingly with me (or maybe the kid harness helped :laughing:) BUT I had to almost drag Ty :confused3 .. we checked in and they called our name within 5 minutes. When we sat there was confetti on the table for Ty's half bday, he LOVED that!!
Our server was Hugh (it was spelled different though) from Haiti, he was nice and effecient.
For my app I got the fried cheese---I'm a fried cheese fiend so there was NO question. P got a garden salad, Ty got chicken noodle soup, unfortunately they only brought out the cheese and my boys attacked it like a pride of lions on a zebra, what I got I enjoyed but I was scared to take too much out of fear they would attack me :rotfl:
P6240354.jpg

I got the Pot roast for my meal *drool*it was AMAZINGLY tender and I pretty much cleaned the plate
P6240357.jpg

the boys got mac n cheese,and when they brought out their meals their apps were on the plate :confused3 .. of course they didn't want it then!!
P6240355.jpg

they pretty much cleared their plates which for my boys is a success!

For dessert the boys got ice cream sundaes, P doesn't eat ice cream (really anything frozen) but he also won't eat fresh fruit so either way it was a loss
They brought Ty's out with a candle and sang him happy birthday he was almost blushing
P6240358.jpg

I got the Ooey Gooey Toffee cake and I was realllly excited about this one but.... it wasn't warm and it just wasn't what I expected :confused:
P6240360.jpg


The meal was really good I give it 4 out of 5 stars , service was kind of slow but this restaurant is BUSY, parents ask for them to bring out the kids appetizers with the meals!!
--3 meal credits--

After some more fun and Pirates League for Ty --i'm writing a trip report but here's one pic of the end result--
P6240383.jpg


P was exhausted when this was all done so I decided to go back to the hotel for a rest , that was before we ran into Aloha Isle and I just had to get a Dole Whip float,two,one for me one for Ty...this was sooo good and refreshing in that hot Florida sun
2 snack credits

We went to the hotel and were back out at 6 for our reservation at CRT at 6:50---I was unfortunately late again :guilty: but we checked in and went for our pic.... and then we waited...and waited... then a little more waiting!!! Finally at 7:30 they called our name,by then the boys were antsy and hungry, and so was I!
We had two servers--can't remember either name-- but service was SO SLOW! Drinks took 10 minutes to arrive, apps took about 20, it was just slow..
the princesses that night were Aurora, Belle, Snow White, and Ariel. They were nice enough but they weren't as playful as I was expecting, first it was late, and it was also loud,or maybe my boys weren't very playful so they weren't back--it just wasn't the fun experience I was hoping for :sad2:
We started out with rolls,they were the average baguette type rolls, they were good
P6240405.jpg

For my app I got the BLT salad
P6240409.jpg

it was soooo dry, no dressing just toppings and I ate those off,and I was so hungry I started picking at the lettuce too
P got salad--he didn't eat
Ty got chicken noodle soup--He inhaled it!!
For my meal I opted for the Cavatappi pasta
P6240421.jpg

BIG MISTAKE!!! It was terrible, the sauce was clearly canned tomatoes and big uncut pieces of veggies with no seasoning , I ate a few bites but I could not enjoy it
P got nuggets
P6240422.jpg

he ate them all but not the string beans or mashed potatoes
Ty got a hot dog
P6240423.jpg

he ate everything

Here are a few pics with the princesses
P6240412.jpg

P6240408.jpg


For dessert I got the chocolate cream cheese buckle
P6240425.jpg

It was really just a chocolate muffin and I couldn't find the cream cheese- if they would've called it a muffin I would've said it was good!! :laughing:
The boys got rasberry sorbet
P6240426.jpg

they ate the chocolate crowns on top but were ready to go and so was I!!
and to add insult to injury, There was some random leaking water from the ceiling that hit my head 4-5 times...ugh!
By this point I was really ready to go and kicking myself for wasting 2 credits each (6 total) fortunately the tip was included...
I give this 1 star!!!! They need to revamp, or maybe they just don't care..:sad1:
 
Your boys are sooooooooooo CUTE!! Can you tell me what their t-shirts say?? All I manage to see is " with mom..." :confused3
 
Your thread title caught my imagination...can't wait to read more. And your kids are adorable!
Yay welcome!! and thank you
Great start to what I can tell is going to be a great trip report! Can't wait to see how this trip turned out!:cool1:
Thank you!!
I'm so in!!!! ;)
Yay!!!
Your boys are sooooooooooo CUTE!! Can you tell me what their t-shirts say?? All I manage to see is " with mom..." :confused3
Thank you very much!! Their shirts say "Don't mess with my mom" :rotfl: I have them wear them when we go places where people may test my patience
Great reviews so far your kids are cute:)
Thank you!!
Great start. Can't wait to read more. :)
Welcome!
 
Are a little blurry so here's my explanation: P likes cameras and he especially likes touching the lense with dirty fingers... sorry they get better, then worse depending on the day!!
 
My guess is "Don't mess with my Momma."??? Does the back say "or with my Doritos!"??? :lmao::lmao::lmao:

I LOVE it..:rotfl:
I have got to get my boys the same tees when we go next month. Except that my boys might want t-shirts that read "Don't let my mommy mess with you":laughing:
 
This was another planned out day that didn't go as planned-*note to self: kids don't care about plans!*
For breakfast we went to Old Port Royale and in an attempt to conserve meal credits I got 2 waffle kid meals with sausage for the boys , they cleaned their plates, especially P aka syrup drinker (I didn't get a pic of this)
---2 credits---

We went to Epcot and got on a ton of rides (except for Mission:Space and Soarin) stopped at Club Cool for some samples

Ty's "Beverly" face
P6250466.jpg

P6250467.jpg

:rotfl: mean mommy moment
and then went to the World Showcase. I kept trying to figure out what CS to stop at but Ty aka Mr bossy kept insisting we walk on so I did , until he took a nap then I saw my chance to stop and get some food!! :laughing:
By this time we were in Morrocco and I was glad because this was the CS I had been dreaming about
I got the Lamb platter which came with couscous salad, hummus, Morrocan bread, baklava and my choice of a side-marinated olives
P6250481.jpg

I ate until I was STUFFED and there was still about half left, this is a HUGE portion enough for 2
I also got P a kids meal nugget (you can see it in the pic) it came with 6 nuggets and a ton of fries, hes a fry eating machine so he ate them all and 3 nuggets. I saved the other 3 for Ty.
--2 meal credits--
When Ty woke up he insisted on getting a popsicle and he saw a pineapple one which he assumed was Spongebob, since it was yellow and square:laughing:
I got a strawberry but after tasting the pineapple I wished I had gotten that
I also got a sprite
--3 snack credits--

We had a 6:00 reservation for Chefs De France that night but I was exhausted so I cancelled it, instead we went to Old Port Royale for dinner after some swimming
I got a buffalo chicken sandwich :cloud9: it was soooooo tender and really good
P6250499.jpg

It came with fries (but P ate those in the checkout line) and I got a chocolate cake which Ty ate for a night snack
Ty, who was whining when I made him get out of the pool, got a kids hot dog meal and he inhaled it!
P got a kids hamburger meal, he once again ate all of the fries and ate at the burger but not the bun-he hates buns.
Their meals came in cute buckets that we could keep as a souvenir
--3 meal credits--


While we were there, I also used snack credits for breakfast the next day, I got 2 orange juices, 2 yogurts, and a bowl of fresh fruit
--5 snack credits--
 
Enjoying your reviews and pictures. Love your sense of humor, reminds me of me! :rotfl:
 
I'm in and loving your reviews! I'm reminded of our trip this time last year - we also stayed at CBR. We loved the sandwiches at Old Port Royale!
