I always love reading dining reviews, so it just makes sense that I post mine.
We were at the world 12/16-12/24 and stayed at Dolphin, so we were not on the dining plan, and paid for everything OOP.
The cast, Me, DH, DS5 and DS3.
Saturday, 12/16 - We arrived at the Dolphin around 3pm and were all hungry. We had an ADR at Coral Reef for 7:40pm that night, so we figured we should grab something light. DS5 got a certificate for a free ice cream at The Fountain when we checked in, so that is where he wanted to go. So, down to The Fountain we go.
The kids menu here was really cute, and I thought was a good idea, and my boys liked it. It was a kids view finder and they would have to turn the reel to see different menu items.
DS5 decided that he would like a hot dog and a sprite, while DS3 wanted Mac & Cheese and apple juice.
DS5 liked his hot dog, and I liked the fact that it came with fresh strawberries. DS5 ate them and said they were good. The hot dog came with potato chips, but DS5 chose to have French fries instead. They didn't seem to be too greasy, so all was good.
DS3 didn't really care for the fries, so they brought out the chips for him. He didn't eat those, nor did he eat the strawberries, which is a shame, but he doesn't like berries. He seemed to like the Mac & Cheese.
Dh went for the Build your own Burger and wanted American cheese, mushrooms and bacon on it with French fries. His burger was good, however they forgot to put the bacon on it, and Dh didn't want to say anything to the waitress, so he just ate it without the bacon. I think he just had a coke to drink.
I decided to get the Build your own Hot Dog with cheddar cheese and sauteed onions. Mine came with potato chips. The hot dog was huge and I couldn't finish all of it, it was good, but my favorite part were the onions, they were done just right and not overcooked. I think I just had a glass of water to drink.
At this point DS5 started telling our waitress how he had this coupon for a free ice cream, and of course DS3 wanted one as well. So we told her to that we will get two ice creams, and will just pay for one. They both chose vanilla in a waffle cone. It was huge, but tasted really good.
At this point DS3 was so tired, that I though he might fall asleep at the table, so I decided to take him upstairs for a nap, and would meet DH and DS5 later, to get to our Coral Reef dinner (although we were so stuffed, that I didn't know how any of us would be able to eat in just a couple of hours).
Overall, we liked our meal at The Fountain, it was nothing extraordinary, but it was a good meal, that didn't feel rushed (the restaurant was almost empty), and I got 20% discount by showing them my AAA card.
At around 7pm, DS3 was still sleeping, I didn't have the heart to wake him up, and none of us were really hungry, so I called Disney Dining and canceled our Coral Reef reservation.
Still to come, breakfast at Donald's, lunch at Picabu, and we change our plans for dinner again .....
