Just back and we tried some new places, and revisited some former favorites. Just a quick review of some of them:
I ate at Cinderella's Castle again. Formerly, it was a real high point, with great food, great service and the feeling of being special. I didn't think any of that was as good this time. The waiter seemed to not really want to be doing what he was doing. The food was fine, but not as good as before. The princesses seemed a lot more hurried also. Someone got engaged while we were in there, and that was fun to watch.
Boma's for dinner was kind of a zoo. They kept insisting my PS was for one time, not the time printed off from their own computer. They insisted the printout was wrong. ???? We got seated in the center area. I think I'd have had a higher opinion if we were off to one of the sides, in a quieter area. I kind of felt like the center with the big tables was kind of like a college cafeteria. My family had mixed reviews. I could eat very little of what was offered, so I really had to stick with the kid's section and the desserts. Some of my children loved it, some not. DH did. I left feeling like I'd spent a LOT for chicken nuggets and cookies.
The California Grill, however, was LESS expensive than Boma, and the food and service was great. That was with one of the children ordering from the adult menu, and DH had wine. Terrific food and we will definately return there. I felt it was a good value and went into it thinking I'd come away feeling like I'd spent too much.
Ate at Planet Hollywood in DTD. Food was so so. Prices were high for what it was. I didn't like the whole photo op thing they do.
The breakfast for the Sunrise Safari in Tusker House was GREAT! How do they make special bread/french toast taste so good??? Terrific service and everything hot and delicious.
Rainforest Cafe was a good value because we had some VKL vouchers. We got lots of food and went away full. The food was okay, not great.
Mara was surprisingly good and a nice value. We all had a hot meal and drinks and the total was very reasonable. The offerings were better than expected....I was just expecting cold sandwiches from a case.
Concierge lounge offerings were good and plentiful. Will definately do CL again next time.
Never ate at the Flame Tree Barbeque in AK, but boy, that place smelled great! Best food smell in the resort!!!
