were the beignets good? I've had the real deal in New Orleans, and wonder how these compare!

I'm not the poster but we did try them out of curiosity. They're OK, not close to the real thing though!

Yes, the beignets were good, although different than the beignets I've had from Cajun restaurants. These were basically funnel cakes in a different shape...

Went through this thread to prepare for our August trip. Does anyone have any more to share?

NASCAR Grille

Flashy cup smoothie that my DD enjoyed. Anything sparkly and she is a sucker!!

Kids mac and cheese and my other DD in her July 4th getup. The mac and cheese looked like it came from a box of Kraft. My DD liked it. The size of the noodles and color of the cheese sauce made me think it was Kraft. So for those parents who have picky kids who need their "normal" mac and cheese, this might be it.

DH's Asian Chicken Salad

My Southern style pot roast. It was really good.

Three Broomsticks Lunch

Chicken meal

Kids fish and chips meal - only 1 piece of fish

Kids mac and cheese meal. This was totally inedible. Even my DH wouldn't eat it. It seemed like it had sat under the heat lamp for far too long. The top was totally crusted over and baked hard - to the point that I could have picked up the mac and cheese and it would have raised up in one, big clump.

We originally thought that DH and I would share the chicken meal (Me eating the ribs and DH the chicken) and the kids each with their kids meal. This is normally how we eat because neither me nor the girls are big eaters. But it didn't work out. With the one piece of fish on the fish & chips and the mac and cheese being inedible, we ended up going back through the line to get more food. We got another kids fish and chips and a kids chicken nuggets. This was a PITA because the line was really long each time.

lemonade

For what we got, I thought the food was good (except the mac and cheese) but it just wasn't enough.

Islands Dining Room at the Royal Pacific Resort dinner

Bread - the rolls were YUM!

DD made me take a picture of the cute butter

Chinese chicken salad

Fish and Chips

Kung Pao shrimp appetizer - neither DD nor DH liked these. They said it had a funny taste.

Side of butter noodles

Make your own Wok entree. You go up to the wok station and put all the items that you want in your food into a bowl. Then you hand the bowl to the wok chef. He sautees it up. You have your choice of rice or noodles to add to your vegetables and meat. You also have a choice of sauces: terriyaki, lemon grass broth and some kind of curry. I chose beef, carrots, green/red peppers, bamboo shoots and terriyaki sauce. I believe this was all you can eat based on comments of other people in line ("I think this time I will try _______"), but I only got the one bowl myself, so can't say for sure.

Salad that came with my Wok entree

The veggie station that you got to choose from for the Wok entree. You can see the meat station in the back of the picture on ice.
