We're back from a total of 2 weeks in Florida, having spent 10 days at WDW......I hope I can remember everything.....
Day 1.
Germany Cart - 2 Pretzles (YUM!! These are so good, but our first 2 weren't fresh at all)
Mexico Margarita Cart - 1 Fiesta Margarita & 1 Strawberry Mango Margarita (A great way to start off a trip....Ole!)
Tambu Lounge - 2 Back Scratchers (What More do I Need To Say?)
Dinner Grand Floridian Cafe - The restaurant was beautiful & I had preordered Cinderella's Slipper for my DD.
Me - French Onion Soup (Very Good!)
Prime Rib (Med Rare) (WONDERFUL!!)
Mini Key Lime Pie (Good) - Mini Lemon Cheesecake (Excellent) - Mini Chocolate Hazlenut Moose Cake (Bland) - We split the Fondue (Very Yummy)
DH - Crab Cakes (WONDERFUL!!)
Pan Roasted Salmon (Good)
Fondue (Very Yummy)
DD (14) - Caesar Salad (Fine)
Chicken Strips (Good)
Cinderella's Slipper (Amazingly Cool!)
All of the food was good, but the Prime Rib & Crab Cakes were the best of the meal. The Cinderella's slipper was a wonderful end to a first dinner & my DD was embarrassed, but loved it.
Day 2
Breakfast Boardwalk Bakery - We eat just about every breakfast during every trip here. It's quick & easy.
Me - Cherry Danish (Fine)
DH - Cheese Danish (Also Fine)
DD - Glazed Doughnut (Very Small)
IMHO, the breakfast pastries have gone way down hill here. They no longer have the Bowtie Twists that we used to love gobbling down before a day in the parks.
Lunch - 50's Prime Time Cafe
Me - Fried Herb Cheese (This is the one thing that keeps me coming back to 50's PT)
Char-Grilled Chicken Sandwich (Very Good)
DH - Shared Herb Cheese
Old-Fashioned Pot Roast (Pretty Good)
Shared Smores with DD (Good)
DD - Fried Herb Cheese
Caesar Salad with Chicken (Fine)
Smores (Much smaller than we remembered - Good)
Snack - Boulangerie Patisserie (France)
Me - Creme Brulee (YUM!)
DD - Not Hungry
DH - Creme Brulee (YUM! again)
Snack - Italy Kiosk
Me & DH - 2 Bellini's (We Love Bellini)
Dinner - Electric Umbrella - Epcot counter service restaurants are a bit of a tradition for us.....We Like em!
Me - Cheeseburger & Fries (always pretty good)
DH - Whole Wheat Turkey Wrap (Not Good)
DD - Chicken Strips (Always good)
Day 3
We had another breakfast the the BW Bakery. It was pretty much the same as before.
Snack - Sunshine Seasons - This was our first time to try bits & pieces of the menu here since it changed a couple of years ago.
Me - Rotisserie Beef Flatbread (Bad....I wouldn't eat this again even if it were free)
Soarin Creme Brulee (I was surprised at just how good orange creme brulee was!)
Snack - Backlot Express
Me - Cheeseburger & Fries (Good....we went in here just to get a drink, but I ended up having a burger just in case our dinner at Hollywood & Vine was as bad as it had been on prior visits)
Dinner - Hollywood & Vine (We loved this place on our first visit, but both the service & food have gotten progressively worse over the years)
Me - Meatballs, mashed potatoes, flank steak, salad, some sort of chicken, some sort of pasta salad, misc. desserts.
DH - My DH really doesn't remember anything he ate except for salad.
DD - Nothing memorable except for Ice cream & desserts (she was VERY upset because they got rid of all the ice cream toppings)
Well, I hoped for the best for this dinner, but again, we were totally let down. The food was bad. The flank steak was inedible, but the meatballs on the "kid's buffet" were decent. The service was even worse than the food & we were appalled that we were charged an 18% service charge on a pitcher of beer. They used to have a great Ice Cream Bar, but they took away all of the fun toppings & the only things that are left to top the ice cream are chocolate sauce & strawberry sauce...NO HOT FUDGE! We definately will not be returning)
Snack - Boardwalk Bakery Key Lime Tart (It was fine)
I'll be back soon with more........Feel free to ask any questions
