Our Cast:
Me (26): Loves to eat, in fact its one of my favorite pastimes. Even though Im only a 50 tall woman, I can eat as much or more as my 62 DH. I didnt believe the DISers who said the DDP was too much food!! Will I change my mind?? Stay tuned.
DH (26): Like I said, hes 62, athletic, and can easily eat 3 meals a day. Not quite as adventurous eater as me, so the ADRs are geared towards his meat and potatoes style. We both dont really like fruit or veggies so you wont see much of that. Decided to avoid Boma and Kona Café because he didnt like the menus. His idea of the five food groups are as follows: burgers, pizza, fries, chicken fingers and steak.
Day 1: Riverside Mill & WCC
DH & I arrived at MCO about 11:30 and miraculously were in our room by 1:15 and headed to Riverside Mill for lunch . Since we had Burger King for breakfast at the airport and snacks on the plane, we werent too hungry for lunch and had an ADR at 5:20, so we decided to just use one CS credit. We shared the bacon double cheeseburger basket and got a Mickey Mouse rice crispy treat to eat at a later date. We both agreed the burger was very fresh and yummy!! Also picked up our refillable mugs for the week, so we got a water with our meal which we also saved. Spent $25 on our mugs. DDP savings = $15
Spent a few hours at the pool and shared a Blue Moonshine from the Muddy Rivers pool bar. It wasnt on the menu, but the bartender looked it up in his book and it was quite yummy. Spent $8.
Traveled to WL via bus to Epcot to transfer to WL bus, and arrived promptly for our 5:20 ADR at WCC. They gave us a pager, but it went off right away and we were seated. We both opted for the bottomless milkshakes, and decided to get one chocolate and one strawberry since I couldnt make up my mind. Both of us ordered the all-you-can-eat skillet and then the S'more Cheesecake for dessert. The salad was good, and the cornbread was phenomenal to start off with. The skillet came very quickly and included pulled pork, ribs, chicken drumsticks, sausage, mashed potatoes, corn on the cob and baked beans. The pork, chicken and sausage were great but the ribs were a bit dry. We loooovved the mashed potatoes!! I didnt try the corn or beans, but my DH said they were good. Ordered seconds of the meat and potatoes, and the next skillet that came out had chicken breasts which were even better than the drumsticks and the ribs had much more sauce this time. We were almost too stuffed for dessert and in fact the couple next to us took theirs to go, but since we were headed to MK we knew we couldnt carry it. The s'mores cheesecake was just okay, it was normal cheesecake with chocolate and marshmallows on top. I thought this had changed from the previous Happiest Celebration Smores dessert because I didnt think it was a cheesecake? Overall, we loved the food at WCC, but definitely go hungry because its a lot of food. Note: It was in the high 80s that night and after big milkshakes and all that meat we stayed at MK for about 5 hours and rode all the EMH rides . . . DH woke up in the middle of the night sick to his stomach. DO NOT eat at WCC if its hot and youre going to the parks . . . You will dehydrate!!
DDP savings = $85
