Anyway, here's my dining review for 1/7-1/15, 9 days on the basic dining plan. I've been a dis'er for a while now and basically I lurk around the dining boards, reading review and looking at pictures. The anticipation of writing this review is what led me to taking about 70 food pictures. My boyfriend made me promise that we'd at least have more pictures of us than of food...I met that goal with 13 pictures to spare!
(He also wants to ban me from the site for a while once I'm done...
yea right 
)
The cast:
Me: I'm 23, an avid foodie, and I'm not that picky. I don't really eat pork (most likely due to a jewish upbringing) or veal (due to brainwashing in college--(ugh I once made a trip to disney as a vegan---not very fun but a different story). I love carbs, fruits, and veggies and like to try new things. I'm also a nutrition major so I try to eat healthy most of the time.
My boyfriend: He too is 23 and could really care less about what he's eating. He eats quickly and can eat a lot. He loves seafood and meat. Not very picky. His only request with the ADRs was a character breakfast.
I'm going to try to complete this by tuesday.
DAY 1
Our flight arrived at MCO by 10 and we were on a bus to Pop by 10:40. We were the first stop
, and decided after we checked in to grab resort mugs and stop by the room to empty our carry-ons. We were going to MGM--oh sorry- Disney Hollywood Studios since we had ADRs there that night. We were starving by the time we got there (Around 12:30) but hit up the Great Movie ride and then flocked to the Backlot Express. By then, we would have eaten nearly anything but I knew I wanted the grilled veggie sandwich and he wanted the chicken fingers. He ordered the cheesecake for dessert and I wanted the strawberry parfait. There was no way I'd be getting a picture of his food without lossing a hand, and I barely managed to whip out my camera, much less fool around with lighting techniques before chowing down. (Ps I did take a bite before remembering--a theme throughout this trip)
To be honest, I remember this being better last year. My DBF says his chicken fingers were good and the fries were hot, well seasoned, and crispy (I stole one--yes I'm that girl). My veggie sandwich was initially very good-nice crusty bread and yummy veggies. After 1/2 the sandwich I ate the accompanying black bean salad. This was good but was basically a glorified bean salsa. The second 1/2 of the sandwich was dissapointing. The inside of that crusty bread seemed to bond with the veggies creating a gummy gross paste which was a very unpleasant texture. I stopped eating it and moved onto dessert. It seemed like it had more pudding than last time and the strawberries tasted like that had been frozen and defrosted. The dried blueberries on top were chewy and seemed offputting compared to the creamy smoothness of the rest of the dessert. My boyfriend said the marble cheesecake was alright and he ate 1/2 of it.
Overall, if I'm looking of a place to eat at DHS, I might try looking at other options, or I might go back. I'd try the turkey sandwhich though.

Dinner that night was at 50's Primetime Cafe. We arrived about 20 minutes before our ADRs at 6:55 and weren't seated until about 7:10 so it seemed like forever.However we did talk to some of the host staff and they were very nice (A really cute old man). We were finally seated and it took a few minutes for our waiter (Loukili sp?) to come over. We knew what we wanted (OH YEA FRIED CHICKEN) so ordered a diet cherry coke and regular cherry coke--or as he joked one leaded and unleaded. Well we were delivered our dinners before our drinks even arrived. It only took about 5 minutes to receive it and about 5 more to receive drinks. The cherry syrup they add is STRONG and I couldn't handle more than 1 sip. Our waiter yelled over to us, checking in, as he sassed the table next to us and I didn't want to be a bother so I just drank my water.
The chicken was delicious and I ate all 3 pieces (even though I tend not to eat dark meat). The mashed potatoes had a nice buttermilk tang and seemed homemade. The collards were unfortunately very salty (and I LOVE salt). Still nice but could had used less. Dessert was a peanutbutter and jelly milkshake for me, and s'mores for him. Sorry I didn't get a good picture of either.
What really makes this restaurant is the waiter/waitress interaction. Ours was hilarious and he hasseled another waitress and she, him. She even went ethnic on him and told him to go back and ride his camel (he was from Morocco). They were so funny and Loukili even had us interact with our neighbors, telling their kids we were teachers (which we are) and we'd give them homework. It was especially funny when he walked outside the building and stared at us through the window, knocking on it and giving us the "I'm looking at you sign." It was really funny!
My only negatives were the fact we got our food before drinks, not offered to change the drinks or refills, and salty collards.
Food: 4/5
Atmosphere: 5/5
Service:4.5/5
Would I return? Heck, yea!

We were so excited because we were going to be diving in that tank on Friday! He left us, and soon our waitress came to take our drink orders. It took a few minutes to get our waters and sodas, and then delicious warm bread was brought to the table. The tap water here tasted off (Oh florida water), this was the only TS restaurant where I experienced that funk. (as well as all the CS in MK). My dbf debated between the crab legs and the steak. I had wanted the steak but my stomach wasn't quite feeling it so I ordered the Mahi mahi with the sauce on the side.
Gee thanks !
My snapper was amazing. Perfectly cooked and the sides were as well. 
the dessert menu had been changed.
