Hi everyone! I had so much going on the past couple months that I never got around to writing reviews from my Food and Wine trip last fall. I was at All Star Sports with my fiance for two weeks with the free dining plan, which we upgraded to include table service meals.
Our first night we had dinner at our resort's food court End Zone. He had a cheeseburger and I had salmon with green beans and mashed potatoes. The food was fine, but I've never been overly impressed by the basic menu here. We shared a Mickey bar for dessert.
Our first full day we spent at Epcot, cause Food and Wine. The first booth we stopped at was Coastal Eats, where we had the shrimp scampi dip, crab cake, and seared scallops. All were good, and we were especially obsessed with the scampi dip, though I wish there had been a bit more bread. My fiancee had a chicken Caesar salad from Sunshine Seasons for lunch, which had lots of chicken in it, and I guess he enjoyed it cause he ate all of it, then we shared a Mickey pretzel before going back into World Showcase. I got a frozen wine cocktail from the New Zealand booth, which was refreshing, and my fiance tried the sausage from the Ireland booth, which he liked.
Dinner that night was at Cape May Cafe at the Beach Club resort. The food was a little less impressive than it had been our previous trips here, but was still enjoyable. We had; cheese, broccoli slaw, potato salad, tomato-mozzarella salad, a green salad with berries, nuts, and cheese, New England clam chowder, prime rib, mashed potatoes, sun dried tomato-crusted salmon, cornbread, pizza, baked chicken, green beans, boiled potatoes, fried clams, macaroni and cheese, shrimp cocktail, and of course plenty of crab legs. Aside from the crab legs the only thing that really stood out that night were the soups, salads, and cheese display. Desserts were lacking too, and there had been several changes to them, as the smores dessert that was our favorite last trip was gone. The service also seemed lacking that night, nothing was remarkably bad about the meal, but if I hadn't been there several times before I probably wouldn't bother returning. I do chalk our experience up to an off night, though we don't have it on our list for next trip.
The next day we had breakfast at End Zone, where I had Mickey waffles, and my fiance had a bounty platter with eggs, potatoes, bacon, sausage, and a waffle. We had the same thing basically every morning, so I won't bother writing a review of the same meal ten times, but my fiance likes his breakfast just like that, with all the basic American breakfast items, and I dream of Mickey waffles compared to the Eggo frozen ones we always eat at home.
We spent the day at Animal Kingdom and had lunch at Satuli Canteen. This was our first time there and has become one of, if not my favorite quick service restaurant. My fiance was less enthusiastic about it, but he prefers the more standard American theme park fare of burgers and pizza. We both had bowls, I had the potatoes with tofu and onion sauce, and my fiance had a rice bowl with beef and herb dressing. I really can't describe how amazing my bowl was, and am so happy that tofu is a protein option, as there's not a ton of places to find tofu in the World. We also shared the blueberry cheesecake for dessert, and that was very good as well.
Dinner that night was at Boma at Animal Kingdom Lodge. If Cape May Cafe had been underwhelming the night before Boma more than made up for it tonight. The service was friendly and efficient, and the food was incredible. We had; eggplant salad, pasta salad, corn dog nuggets, macaroni and cheese, meatballs with penne, corn, peas, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, salmon, and prime rib, as well as three different kinds of soup; butternut squash, lentil, and curried seafood. The soups here are always amazing, though everything was great. For dessert we tried a little of everything, though our favorites were the Oreo cheesecake and of course, the zebra domes.
We also got the giraffe and zebra cupcakes at the Mara after dinner. They were good, but they changed the flavor of the giraffe one, and I preferred the old version.
Coming up next is Minnie's Halloween dinner at Hollywood and Vine, ABC Commissary, and more of the End Zone food court.
