So this was my first trip in 24 yrs, and my DD's (8) and DH's first trip ever. We were accompanied by my parents. We were on the DP and found it to be an excellent value and such a relief not to have to worry about the prices on the menu or dealing with cash at every meal.
Day 1 CS- Arrived at our resort, CSR, and went right to the Pepper Market after check-in. DH & I both had Mexican. It was good, but we had to wait quite a bit because the Mexican grill only had one poor soul doing everything. My mom had a burger, my dad had a Calzone, and my DD had the kids pizza. The bakery ladies advised us which desserts were on the DP, and we chose pastries to take back for breakfast the next morning. We weren't overwhelmed, but were quite satisfied with this meal.
Day 1 TS - Liberty Tree Tavern - Definitely one of the most enjoyable meals of the week! From the reviews, I kind of knew what to expect. However, my expectations were far exceeded. We did have to wait about 30 mins to be seated, but it was worth the wait. My DD, who had promptly informed the CM at the airport that she didn't care for Disney characters just loved the character interaction at LTT! They got her in the Disney spirit right away. Chip and Dale were hilarious. The food just ROCKED! All the meats were good, the mashed potatoes were heavenly, and the apple cobbler - YUM! And our server was friendly and attentive. It was a great way to start out our trip. As a bonus, our ADR was at 6:50, and when we came out, we were in perfect position to witness Spectromagic. It was truly magical for us!
Day 2 CS - Our plan was to be at Epcot, but DD woke up sick with fever, etc. We ended up getting take out from Pepper Market. I got the Calzone which was very good -loved the marinara sauce. My DH & my folks all tried the Asian specialties. My parents split a combination entree. Again, the food was good - not great, but good for CS.
Day 2 TS - We were supposed to eat dinner at San Angel Inn. However, with the circumstances, that wasn't going to happen. So I talked with a wonderful CM, Cali, at Disney Dining. She switched ressies around and we ate at Maya Grill this evening instead of the day we'd planned for it later in the week. I really like the decor of this restaurant - very well done. Our service wasn't the greatest, and I was put off by the plastic glasses given the prices on the menu and the upscale atmosphere. Maybe they had run out? For appetizers, my parents got salads, DH & I had the shrimp cocktail. Both were good. For entrees, I got the beef tenderloin tips, the server complied with my request and prepared DD plain grilled chicken and fries since she was feeling poorly, which I greatly appreciated. All the other adults got the ribeye. My tips were good, but the ribeye was excellent! For dessert I got some kind of chocolate dessert that was like a stack of little cookies with chocolate mousse in between. It was pretty tasty. Dh got the chocolate cake with raspberry sauce which was really good, my dad got the fried cheesecake which he liked, but I thought was just ok, and my mom got the creme brulee. She ate every bite with us also sneaking a bite here and there. We enjoyed this meal, food was good, service could have been better, but we would go back. I did notice on the actual receipt that there was a fixed price of $20.88 per person, even for DD, which must be what they get from Disney for people on the DP.
Coming up tomorrow - days 3 & 4 ABC Commissary, Hollywood & Vine, Main Street Bakery, Casey's Corner, Crystal Palace.
