7 days of Disney meals
We had a wonderful trip and really great meals on the DDP while we were there in December. We were there from Sunday Dec 3 to Saturday Dec 9, 2006. I will do my best to critique each meal and the $$$. We meaning Chuck (husband/dad) Diane (mom/wife) and Frank (11 year old son/adult). My son ate exclusively off the adult menu the entire trip. I am allergic to a lot of foods and at all of the TS meals someone came out to talk to me about the food selections. I will do another post for CS. All price are approximate to make it easier.
SUNDAY
Tonys Town Square
The waiting area was really crowded when we arrived but only had to wait about 10 minutes for a table. We were lucky enough to sit in the enclosed porch area and even got to see some of the electric parade. We were really hungry since we did not have lunch and did not eat till 6:10 pm. Had a great waiter who was very accommodating.
Chuck: Spinich & Artichoke dip (didnt care for it but doesnt like cheese dips)
Strip steak (loved it)
Cinnamon gelato (liked it)
Diane: Spinach & Artichoke dip (loved it)
Strip Steak (loved it)
Pistachio crème brulee (loved it)
Frank: salad
Spagetti and meatballs (liked the spagettii, meatballs a bit spicey)
Vanilla ice cream
Smoothie (our waiter did not charge for this)
TOTAL COST OF MEAL with T&T: $138
MONDAY
Donalds Breakfastasourus AK
We always eat here but usually at the last seating this time we had 9:20 reservations and were seated about 15 minutes early.
We all had a little bit of everything and the food was good but after 3 times it weasnt that exciting anymore. May try something different next time.
TOTAL COST OF MEAL with T&T: $67
TUESDAY (lunch)
Sci Fi Café
This was a total at the right place at the right time. We did not have an ADR but stopped by at 11am and got a table. We love it and our son thought the movies were a hoot. We just started to see them for the second time when we were done. We sat at one of the picnic tables in the back which was great because otherwise we would of not been looking at each other in the cars. The waite staff was great.
Chuck: BLT Soup (liked it)
Double burger (liked it)
Apple crisp (liked it)
Diane; Onion rings (very good and a lot shared them)
Ribs (really good and tender)
Cheesecake (I dont really remember so it must have been okay)
Frank: Spinich and Artichoke dip (good and shared it)
Double burger (good)
Hot fudge sundae (liked it but was really full and didnt finish)
TOTAL COST OF MEAL with T&T $89
TUESDAY (Dinner)
Whispering Canyon Café Wilderness Lodge
We were staying here and were going to MVMCP this night so it was the logical choice. Not too rowdy because we got there when it first opened and it wasnt ful yet. Our waitress was really nice and sat down and talked to us about the menu while we ordered. Probably least favorite meal of the trip for all of us.
Chuck: Skillet meal. (didnt like the salad dressing but enjoyed most of the skillet)
Banana dust bowl (thought it was okay)
Diane: Nachos (very good)
Gouper (waitresses suggestion good but a little dry)
Chocolate cake (good)
Frank: Fried chicken wings (okay)
Roasted chicken (didnt like the potatoes)
Chocolate Cake (good)
TOTAL COST OF MEAL with T&T $110
WEDNESDAY
Biergarten Germany EPCOT
My 11 year old son hated this meal and hardly ate anything. The approx. 13 year old girl next to him wasnt anymore thrilled that we were sitting next to them. I really enjoyed the meal itself and loved the dill salad dressing. I asked the girl which desserts had walnuts in them and she told me one then said all except the strudel had nuts and not to chance it. Apple strudel would have been my last choice. My husband enjoyed the entrees so much He didnt even try any dessert. The entertainment was great. We had to swear to never do that to our son again.
TOTAL COST OF MEAL with T&T: $93
FRIDAY
TEPPANAKI Japan EPCOT
Our san was less then thrilled when he learned we would be sitting with other people at this meal. We did explain the seatting area and that he could sit between us and he was okay with that. We had to wait about 30 minutes past our reservation time for a table but it was worth it. This ended up being the best meal of the trip and my favorite memory. The food was out of this world and a lot. Our chef was the best and really made it enjoyable. We all tried the seaweed salad. Okay with a seasame taste.
Chuck: Edamade (this was cold and we usually have it hot so it was a little different)
Steak and chicken (wonderful)
Ginger cake (good)
Diane: Salad with ginger dressing (not a big fan of ginger but this was delicious)
Steak and chicken (wonderful loved the noodles)
Ginger cake ( loved it)
Frank: salad no dressing
Chicken (loved it)
Chocolate ice cream
TOTAL COST OF MEAL with T&T: $126
SATURDAY
Lilo and Stitch Breakfast Poly Resort
This one was out of pocket since we had used up our plan. The food was really good and saw the characters a lot. I really wanted the pineapple bread since I had heard so much about it but it had walnuts in it so my husband graciously ate it for me. My son loved it and wants to go back here next time.
TOTAL OOP COST OF MEAL with T&T: $75
Cant imagine ever going without the plan. I can really enjoy myself and have one less thing to worry about.
