You may notice that this is my first post. I have been lurking and gleaning info here for so long that I thought I would give back to so many who helped make our trip a success.
First, for those with little kids, my advice is to only schedule one TS meal per day. If you are going to go back to the room for a nap/swim, there won't be time to do much in the parks if you take the time for two sit-down meals. I ended up cancelling some dinners because there just weren't enough hours in the day!!
Day 1
Wolfgang Puck Express- DTD
This was OOP as we hadn't checked in yet. I had a BBQ chicken salad which I really liked. Lots of big chunks of chicken. On the contrary, DH had the BBQ chicken quesadilla, and if it had chicken in it, it wasn't visible to the naked eye! He ate it (we were very hungry) but was disappointed. DS6 had a cheese quesadilla which he inhaled in about 2 minutes, so it must have been good. DS2 had the 4 cheese mac-n-cheese which I tasted and thought was yummy. We also had a couple of choc chip cookies and their mango iced tea, very refreshing, for a total of about $38.
Kona Cafe
Great meal here! I started with crab cakes. Special thanks to the DISer who told of the greens it was served with. Kept me from having to make a difficult decision between salad and crab cakes! DH had the Kona chowder which he is still raving about. I had the beef teriyaki and he had the macadamia mahi. I liked the fish better, but not the mushroom risotto it was served with. Too salty. My steak was a little fatty but very tender and had a great flavor. I force-fed the DS's the fruit cup and they shared the kid's pasta. Dessert was the apple cobbler type thing for DH and the Kiluea (sp) torte for me. He loved his, mine was good, but needed to be a little warmer to fully appreciate the gooey chocolate stuff inside! All in all a wonderful meal, we will eat here again!
More to come, Donald's, ASMo food court, Le Cellier......
