At Yak & Yeti I would suggest sharing the ribs. They are AWESOME and there is more than enough to share.

You have lots of great choices on here!

 

[brendaziz]

no way jose is GREAT.
Also, if u like shakes- their choco pb shakes are delicious

The only "sushi" i've had at cali grill is a cali roll adn that was delicious but HUGE. If you're sharing things you might not need more than 1 maybe 2 sushi items cuz they're HUGE.

I figured we'd have way too much food at Cali Grill....but it was so hard to narrow it down...it all looks so fantastic!!!

and choco pb shake...I'm on it!

thanks!!!

yum! thanks for the suggestion!

Great choices! We enjoyed our experiences at the California Grill, Kona, Tutto Italia and Wolfgang Puck Express.

Another suggestion for Kona is the ribeye steak. It was probably the best ribeye I've eaten and was melt-in-your-mouth tender. A steak knife was not necessary because it was so tender.

The sweet corn bisque soup at California Grill was delicious too! Don't forget to consider the Valrhona Chocolate Cake with ice cream (I believe mine was cherry) for dessert. Heaven on a plate!!

On Wed. have you considered a later breakfast? We enjoyed our breakfast at Ohana and the kids were thrilled with the characters too.

 

[chell]

yum! thanks for the suggestion!

You are welcome. If you decide not to get the dim sum basket the Lettuce Cups and the Pot Stickers are also AWESOME!

 

[chabs]

The Tavern Fried Cheese at LTT is my favorite WDW food. They give you two different types of cheese sticks and I love them both!

 

[engle]

The Tuna Oscar at Kona is FABULOUS as well as the nachos at T-Rex. They are enough to share plus maybe share an entree...you won't need much more!!!

The flame tree bbq at ak is wonderful. |Delicious and gorgeous scenery. Cape May Clambake also very wonderful and pretty a good night for Epcot. Not to be too Canadian, but you can not beat the steaks at Le Celier in the Canada pavilion

Wow.. I'm impressed with your list! The only thing I noticed was the fish and chips at the Pub. The food wasn't anything extra I wouldn't find anywhere else. I was kinda disappointed (of course things could have changed since I had it last). If you're in EPCOT, I would highly suggest something else.. Maybe in Morocco?

I've had that ribeye from Kona and you're right..it's wonderful!!

I'm one of those weirdos that can't eat breakfast....it will turn me into a sleepy slug...but I wish I could get that giant stuffed French toast thing at like 2am!!...mmmmm

Thanks so much for all your input!!

That Fried Cheese and the Ooey Gooey Toffee Cake are EXACTLY why we are going there....I have never had either before...but the pictures I've seen are irresistable!!....totally excited...

whoever said "hey...let's take cheese...then we'll roll it in flour...then deep fry it...."....oh they have a special place in my heart...

 

[Little_Sister]

Good to know about the Nachos...I wasn't sure about portion size and figured we'd end up with WAY too much food...thank you!!!

I concur...the steaks at Le Celier are wonderful...and those pretzel breadsticks RULE!!...

we ate lunch at Le Cellier last trip...we were so stuffed that we had to spend an hour on one of the little benches outside letting our food digest so we would be able to drag ourselves back to the monorail!! I can't believe I'm admitting that!

THANK YOU!

Good to know...my boyfriend desparately wanted to go there just to sample all the beers...so maybe we'll just let him drink there then mosey on over to Morocco...I hear the Tangierine Cafe is pretty awesome.

Thursday 11.12.09

Lunch: Yak & Yeti
--Dim Sum Basket
--Wok-fried Green Beans
--Fried Wontons
​

​

We shared the Dim sum Basket & it was VERY small. It was only about 4-5 mini bite-sized pieces. (We love Dim Sum, so DH really wanted to try it. We thought they would at least be normal dim sum size, and we were suprised by the itty bitty pieces.) I strongly suggest that you go elsewhere instead (maybe try the new "Picnic in the Park" at $8/person for each to get a sandwich or chicken, large dessert, bottled water, and share a side) b/c the service at Yak & Yeti was also pitiful- truly the worst I've ever had at any restaurant, ever.​

Lunch: Haven't decided on anything yet...we'll be in MK that day...suggestions?
​

​

Are you looking for another counter service or table service? DH finds the turkey legs in MK irresistible. I really enoy indulging in the corndog bites at Casey's Corner. If you want to share something, Cosmic Ray's Cafe (counter service) has a very large rib and chicken combo or double cheese burgers that are enormous and definitely enough to share too. Plus, they also have the super-delicious toppings bar there.....Then again, you could always eat ice cream for dinner at the ice cream parlor, lol.​

Dinner: The Wave
--Cinnamon Rubbed Pork Tenderloin Very good, we had this in March 09 (pics in my link) and we loved it!

--Chocolate Mousse with Salted Caramel Sauce, Almond-Pineapple-Raisin "Baklava", Chocolate-Passion Fruit Mousse with Pecan-Olive Had this in March too...it was good but not the best of the ones offered.

Dinner: Sci-Fi Dine In
--Onion Rings AWESOME! Not greasy at all and the portion was huge

Lunch: Beaches & Cream
--No Way Jose My favorite ice cream dessert in all of WDW, if you love peanut butter you will love this!

Lunch: Wolfgang Puck Express
--Pepperoni, mushroom and extra cheese pizza Excellent! They have wonderful pizza here

Wow that's disappointing to hear....we ate at Yak & Yeti right when it first opened and really enjoyed the experience...granted we didn't have the dim sum that time...only the pot stickers which were really good...but our server was pleasant and accomodating...so sorry to hear that you didn't enjoy your experience...but I truly appreciate the input and the suggestion.

I haven't heard about Picnic in the Park...we're all about trying new places...so I'll have to check it out!
