forever a child

We arrived around 7:30pm on the 19th. We were both starving by the time we checked in to the resort and DTD was our plan for the evening.
QS: Wolfgang Puck Cafe Express
DD and I split a Rotisserie Chicken, Greek Salad and Drink. We really had to wait a long while to receive this. Apparently the salad chef had taken a break and not completed our order while our chicken sat there waiting to be served. So the chicken was warm but not hot. Our server was a young girl and not really concerned and I asked her at least once how much longer it would be. Once we received our food she did apologize and said we could have a free dessert (but we had to hunt her down just to get that). Our food was great, however. I loved the mashed potatoes. Had we not been so hungry maybe it would have been "average" but we were just so happy to finally have a meal that I remember enjoying it very much:D
QS: Cosmic Rays Starlight Cafe - Dinner
I had the half Chicken with Mashed potatoes (again) and DD had the Caesar Chicken Salad. I don't think either was as good as at Wolfgang the night before but the fixings bar was nice. What I didn't care for here was that because we wanted different things...we had to go to different check out areas, which would it hard for people with young kids all wanting different things. But since DD is old enough I just gave her some cash and she went and ordered her own food.
QS - Pecos Bills - Lunch
We both really loved this place and both had BBQ sandwiches with French Fries. The BBQ was excellent and I recently had one from our local restaurant here in KY and it was not as good as Pecos Bills. We are not big on FF's but you could not get them without (or I believe you could get sliced apples as a replacement) so we got them and they were excellent as well. So I will place it on my list of one of the few places where I like FF's.
Snack- Mrs. Pott's Cupboard
DD and I got Chocolate Milkshakes. It was hot and we wanted something cold. But I was rather disappointed with the flavor of the chocolate. I will be trying a different place next time. I can't remember the name right off hand, but I remember we have gotten Ice Cream on Main street somewhere and it seemed very good.
QS - Sunshine Season Food Fair - Lunch
I loved this place and it is on my must visit again list for our next trip! I got the Beef Mongolian meal (I love Chinese) with vegetables and rice and DD had the Turkey Focaccia Wrap. Both were great and for desert we shared a Chocolate Mousse Cake. This cake was excellent and I kept looking for it for the rest of the week in other places but never found anything similar.
QS - Germany Sommerfest
Later that day it was hot and so we really just wanted a snack. I suggested trying trying a Frankfurter and Kraut. (we both really love Kraut). The "hot dog" was not really my favorite but the Kraut was good. I just don't think they give you much. I guess it is mainly to put on your dog...but I just love eating it plain. So that was not really a great choice for us. We just split one order between the two of us.
I should mention that DD and I often shared meal and do at home too. Although at home it is more like DD steals my food from my plate when I am not looking. If you know me at all from my postings...you know DD is a competitive swimmer and loves to EAT, a lot! So anyways, we split when were not really hungry. The crowds and heat often effect that for us too.
Snack - Japan Cart
Kaki Gori Cherry (Shaved Ice) This was our favorite hot day snack. We loved it and I wish it was in all four parks! Great during the heat and makes me never want to have a traditional snow cone again because it is so much better. We had another one later on in the week that was Strawberry but we both agreed that we liked the Cherry flavored better! We shared this as well, but mostly DD at it all.:D
This was the day were we decided we really needed to rest a bid and decided to go back early to the resort and skip Illuminations.
QS - Everything Pop - Dinner
We went back to Pop and got Dinner and we were both so tired that I really don't remember selections well. However, I nothing really looked that appealing to me. We decided on pasta and I got the Vegetable Lasagna with a Salad and DD had the Chicken Penne with Marinara Sauce. They both came with a bread stick. We took our food back to our room with us. At first it wasn't bad but as I started to get full the Lasagna really started getting gross. So I didn't eat but perhaps half of it. The salad was fine but you actually have to pay for dressing (which is to me was sort of funny because the salad was just a side dish that came with the meal). DD's chicken was greasy and when I asked her how it as she responded "OK" which is our little joke for when we really aren't enjoying our food and just want to be nice (cause I probably over-cooked it:blush:
Anyway, we decided we wouldn't eat anymore at POP.
TS - Garden Grill - Our first Table service for the week.
We have eaten here before and really love this place! The character interaction is wonderful and each of the characters probably came around about 5 times! I was a bit disappointed that we could not get pictures of Chip and Dale together with us, one of them shook his head "No" when I asked if we could...so it must be a policy for them.:( The food was good. The beef strips were a bit fatty but good. However, there was blood on our plates (which I love....so if you don't like your meat undercooked I would mention that to your server) The mashed potatoes were so good! I had seconds on these dished. Meanwhile DD seems to really enjoy the Turkey and she loves stuffing...she had seconds on these. Not sure of the fish type...DD hates seafood and I had a little but didn't eat much of it. I was disappointed that there weren't a lot of vegatables...just a few hidden under the fish and they looked mostly like squash which isnt either of our favorites and DD wouldnt eat it because it was under the fish.:unsure: But we loved the fresh baked bread and the butter...well, DD saw me cleaning the container on that one! :secret: We were pretty full by desert time. I really only care for chocolate...so the strawberry/rhubarb crisp was just ok to me. DD like it but neither could eat much. I would have rather had the childrens desert of cookies and cream Icecream but forgot to ask if that was an option. Our server was very nice and kept our glasses full. I am not sure if I should have felt rushed as she kept asking...do you want me to take that away for you...like our half full bowl of salad or this or that. I just kept saying...no, we are still working on it! We were only going to have a few TS meals this trip and I wasn't going to be rushed with my meal:thumbsup: She stopped asking after a bit...so that was fine.
QS - Studio Caatering Co.
DD had Chicken Caesar Wrap w/French Fries and I had the Greek Salad with Chocolate Cake for desert. DHS really doesn't have any great places that stand out to me for meals. So this was ok but not anything special. It was very hot this day and it was during SWW so it was busy so I will say they got meals served quickly despite the crowds.
