First of all, the diners in this dining review are:
DW (me) - loves WDW and really enjoys all the planning (and eating) involved
DH - not as big a fan as me, but wants to make his family happy (and enjoys the eating too!)
DS11 - big appetite, not too picky, but won't eat most veggies
DD5 - good appetite for her age most of the time, but sometimes eats very little for days on end!
I just had tp post a review of our experience with the dining plan when we stayed at the BWV April 2-7. We paid just under $625 for the plan for five nights, and our receipts total over $900! I kept all the receipts, although they don't specify prices on the receipts when you pay with the dining plan. I had to write the cost on the back of the receipt so I would remember what it was.
DAY ONE
Flame Tree Barbecue We went here for lunch at 1.30pm on our first day in the parks. We had just checked in to BWV and headed straight over to AK to check out the wait times for EE, as DH and DS wanted to ride at least once this trip. DH had the half chicken meal with corn and beans, he said the chicken was just a little undercooked but he finished it all! DS had the ribs meal, also with corn and beans, which he said was great, the ribs were tender but corn is a veggie so he didn't eat that! He liked the beans though. I had the BBQ chicken salad which was delicious, plenty of chicken and the salad was very freshl. I finished it all! DD had the kids hot dog meal, she ate the hot dog but left the roll, and also ate the corn and beans which she liked. For dessert, DH and DS had the chocolate cake which was a generous size and very sweet and moist - DS didn't finish his as he was too full. Although there was no dessert on the child menu, DD was allowed to order key lime pie but she was too full to eat it. I ate half and it was tasty but I couldn't finish it, and I had a frozen lemonade as my dessert which was very refreshing. DD had an apple juice and the rest of us had diet coke. The seating area was a little busy but we found a table down by the water with no great problem. I didn't write down the cost of this meal right away as I didn't realise immediately that my receipt had no prices on, when I noticed this I wrote down $45 and change, 4 cs credits used. We got a bottle of water a little later in the afternoon and used the first of our snack credits, $2.
Tangerine Cafe, Morocco Since AK closed at 5pm, we left the park about 4.30pm and headed over to Epcot. I had read great things about the Tangerine Cafe on these boards and we had never eaten there. We got hungry about 7.15pm and since we weren't far from the Morocco pavilion, decided to eat there. DH got the meatball platter with yellow rice which he said was great, he let me try a little and I regretted not getting it myself. I had the Chicken Wrap which was served with a small pot of couscous salad and another of lentil salad. The couscous was good but I didn't like the lentil salad. The wrap itself was ok but nothing special. DS and DD both got the kid's burger, but DD only had a couple of bites of burger and a few fries. There was no choice with dessert, baklava was the only dessert on the menu so we got one each. We only managed to eat a little of this, so we took two back to the villa for later. We ate one of them over the next couple of days, as we were hardly ever hungry between meals, and had throw the other one out eventually! We also got two diet cokes and two orange sodas. The cast member was a little confused about our order as we had two adult and two childrens meals and our cards stated that we were 3 (disney) adults and one child. She called another more experienced cast member over who had no problem with this and rang up our meals. Our bill came to $50.89, 4 cs credits used. This would have been more expensive if we had ordered the 3 adult meals and 1 child's meal, but we had more than enough to go round.
Total expense for the day = $97.89.
Day two next - MGM - Backlot Express and FDP at Hollywood & Vine. I'll keep this review all on one thread, its too confusing to try to keep track of different threads!
