We just got home following 5 days at DL. 12/26-12/30
We are CS style eaters, I personally don't like the whole dining experience with reservations months in advance for mediocre food. We prefer to eat when we want, with whatever is close by at that time. That is our vacation style.
I was very surprised at the inability to order things without cheese for DH. Most of the sandwiches, burgers etc came with cheese and he can't do cheese. We could only order hamburgers, the occasional plain chicken sandwich or a hot dog for him as everything else came with cheese and they "don't do special orders" or "Modifications".
Standard burgers, fries and chicken strips from Galactic Grill were decent one day and then stone cold and hard another day.
What is up with no lids for drinks? A tray full of $6 sodas and no dang lids. This was a trend throughout the parks,
Splitsville was ok but 1.5 hrs of bowling and dinner for 8 (pizza/fries) was $800
Our hotel had a really good complimentary breakfast which we took advantage of and then a couple of nights, we returned to our hotel and ordered UberEats for dinners.
Bread Bowls in French Qtr were extremely disappointing. It was raining, no real place that was dry to eat and they gave us a cold, hard sourdough bread and a container of stew to disassemble and reassemble ourselves. That lunch was just plain miserably awful. My stew had no meat, too many large chunks of onions and DH's had an overabundance of mushrooms.
Funnel Cake from Hungry Bear was a lump of gooey dough.
Ice cream carts had few selections.
CornDog on main street was cold, burnt and lacked any real corn dog flavor.
The Cold Brew coffee with Taro Cream at Docking Bay was amazing.
My family liked the offerings at Docking Bay. they ate there twice but Hubs the finicky wouldn't eat there and we went to Hungry Bear for chicken sandwiches.
I enjoyed several turkey legs.
The pasta cones in DCA were quite good.
Flo's french fries were yummy
Snack and cocktails at LampLight was a highlight. The Aioli Brussel sprouts were to die for!
Churros in Fantasy Land were good - hot and crisp.
We enjoyed drinks at Oga's twice.
Coffees at Ghirardelli did not disappoint.
Dinner for 10 at Mimi's on Friday night was the culinary highlight of the week. Good food, great space to relax, excellent service and not anywhere near Disney prices with far better quality.
IMO Disney has never had "great" food, I never really understood what everyone raved about. I had low expectations and therefore was not really disappointed.
