My best friend and her sister and I just got back from our Sept 6-11th Night of Joy trip and we were on free dining!!! I will list where we ate and what we thought (for those who care).
The Luau (2 credits)- we were not impressed. I do not like that kind of food. I knew what the menu was, but I guess that I was hoping that I would find something that I liked, not really. I also do not enjoy those types of shows, we left early, after dessert (which I did not eat)-we wanted to see wishes. ***let me say that I am not knocking the Luau, it just wasn't my taste.
50's Prime Time- I had ate there before and I was disappointed in the food/service this time. Big disappointment for my friends who had never ate there.
Crystal Palace- We loved it. By this time, we were disappointed in the food choices that we had made. This was more our type of food and was glad to have chosen a place where we enjoyed the food and the atmosphere. The characters were fun and the waitress was fun too. I would eat there again, even if I was not on the dining plan.
Chef Mickey's- This was our only TS breakfast and it was awesome!!! I love the characters coming around (Mickey is my ABSOLUTE favorite). The food was good as well as the service. My friends and I agreed that this was our favorite TS, as a matter of fact, about 15 family members are going to WDW in May and I am making them ADR's for Chef Mickey's and I am planning on paying for everyone because I know that they will not want to spend that much $$ on a breakfast, but it is that much worth it to me.
The counter service that we ate at were:
The counter service in Typhoon Lagoon, Pepper Market at Cornado Springs (favorite), Pop Century, Cosmic Ray's & Casey's.
We enjoyed the free dining...it got off to a slow start but we really enjoyed it toward the end. The good thing is that we did not pay for it and we were able to try several places and dishes that would not get to if we were paying for it all. This was our 2nd year to take advantage of free dining and I have to say that it is spoiling us, hope they keep it up...this is the time of year that we like to go anyway.
Any questions?
