Dining Reviews From The Best WDW Trip To Date!
This trip was our first experience with the DDP, and I was very impressed with how "smoothly" it works. I especially like having our remaining credits printed out at the bottom of the ticket so we could make sure we were still on track.
Everything Pop: Chicken Mediterranean Flatbread was delicious (if you like olives!), cheese pizza was fresh and gooey, Mom's Night Out turkey dinner was delicious and made for a nice change. Loaded Nachos were too much food for any one person to consume, but were tasty. Cherry turovers, chocolate muffins, and frash baked cookies were good; prepackaged cakes not so much...
Boma: Delicious hummus, salads, and dessert. This buffet is perfect for folks who prefer veggies over meat, though there's a fair selection of meat as well. Had my first falafel here and a DIVINE dish that was almost like a savory bread pudding with a tomato mixture on top, very smoky flavored. Anyone know what this is? I can't remember.
Pinocchio Village Haus: Chicken Strips here were hot and fresh. Strawberry cheesecake was better than the chocolate cake. Ranch, BBQ, and honey mustard are on the condiment bar for dipping. (Ranch is in with the salad dressings.)
Plaza Restaurant on Main Street: Hadn't planned on going here. Our plans got a little off track (long story) and we ended up here. They seated us even though they were quite busy. Veggie sandwich was super! DH and DSs liked the burgers. Cookies and Cream milkshake for dessert was really good, but REALLY large.
50's Prime Time Cafe: Better have a sense of humor to eat here! We had a blast, but the rather reserved couple to our left seemed annoyed. Fried fish sandwich was pretty good, a bit bland. Citrus salad dressing made a typical salad awesome here! The Boston Cream Cupcake (new!) was fantastic.
Columbia Harbor House: One of my fav's. Tuna salad was refreshing and tasty. Kettle cooked chips were a nice change from fries. Apple fritter was the best CS dessert I had the whole week. We sat upstairs and looked at the Mansion while we ate..
Ohana: Been here before, and it was better back then. Welcome Bread and salad were good. Noodles needed some soy sauce or something, wontons-eh, broccoli tasted odd, and the meats were tough. The shrimp wasn't deveined (gross) or even de-legged. Dessert was fabulous! At Tambu Lounge: the "Backscratcher" was a nice drink, but the Lapu Lapu was disgustingly strong! And I like my drinks a little on the strong side, mind you. It was like drinking gas out of a pineapple.
T-Rex: Nice place! We were seated in the "ice cave" which puts on a show every 20 minutes or so. After seeing the portion sizes coming from the kitechen here, we opted to share entrees and have an appetizer and dessert. (This meal was OOP, not on the DDP). The fried cheese appetizer was wonderful! The mozzarella sticks were typical, but the slice of warm fresh mozzarella was different and delicious. "Lava" soup was out of this world, one of the best creamy tomato soups I have tasted. Steak and cheese sandwich with fries was tasty, if a little greasy. Meteor Bites dessert was fun, yummy, and PLENTY for four people to share. Just be aware that portions here are massive!
Rose & Crown: Our favorite meal of the week. Surf and Turf with shallot gravy was delicious. I loved the side dishes, especially my first Yorkshire pudding. DS had a weird pork dish with spiced apples poured over a potato cake, so I shared my meal with him and still got full! The Sticky Toffee Pudding was divine. They also let us leave our table after dinner, go stand on the patio for Illuminations, and come back in for dessert. By the time we were done, Epcot was empty and we strolled to the exit with no crowds.
Sunshine Seasons: The Grilled Vegetable Flatbread was pretty good after I went and fetched some salt to put on it. Everyone liked their food here, from ciabatta sandwiches to rotisserie chicken. Dessert options are plentiful. We chose the strawberry shortcake, which was marred only slighty by the mouth-puckeringly sour berries. The other parts of the cake were good.
Over all, some very nice dining experiences!

Nice reviews, thanks! I can't imagine going to 50s PrimeTime if you're not into the interaction. Maybe they didn't know what to expect, or I suppose some people do. I'm not into it. I haven't been. Sorry to hear that 'Ohana was lacking. The Lapu Lapu usually tastes really fruity and not as strong as it is. I wonder what happened with that.
Now I really want to go back to Boma.

50's prime time
50's prime time was amazing-
I'ver been to Disney over 25 x and never ate here. It was fab. OMG so GOOD!
I had pot roast- and peanut butter nad jelly shake- delcious! DDp great selections
I just wanted to add- this...
Coral Reef- was Fab 5 stars all the way.
Service was excellent- as was the view and food.
Great choice on DDP
Le Cellier-
was a major let down
I had to return my steak - as did my mom.
I was so looking forward to it-
Im sad to say I dont like it at all- will never return.

Thanks for the reviews. We had the same experience at Ohana as you when we were there in '08. It used to be a not to be missed now I can do without. Maybe they will improve...
What time did you make your reservation for Rose and Crown? We ate there in 2001 but haven't been back since. Not for any particular reason just wanted to try somewhere else but might like to try it again this trip. I'd like to time it the way you did and watch Illuminations then have dessert and leave when the crowds have thinned out, how peaceful

Thanks for the review on T-Rex. We will go there for the first time in 22 days. I have 3 boys and I think they will really like it. I have read on other posts that the portions were large and in charge, so they would be good to share. Thanks again!

Have to really agree on O"Hana it was terrible last time and they never refilled our sides not even once. I asked 3 times as I couldn't and wouldn't eat the meat. Raw to the bone and tough. Never going back. I was thinking of trying Le Celliar but I can get good steaks here in Texas and I am sure it will be nothing like a good steak around here so will not even go there as the reviews are not so good either. thanks for your report... be there in 60 days

I've never heard it described that way! I agree - they're strong, but wowie, they do pack a punch. Did you finish it?

Ajpa-the only one on your list we have actually tried is Boma, and I think you'll like it! The others sound fun, though. I hope to try them in the future.
Joannelet-LOL, the server you had at 50's would have been well suited to the couple next to us! When the waitress (she was super) called the man "Skippy" I honestly thought he was going to get up and leave. Diff'rent strokes, you know...it would be equally disheartening to go there expecting a fun time and a story to tell, and end up with a normal server.
Our funniest moment was when the waitress came up behind our two VERY shaggy-haired teen boys. She addressed them as ladies and when they turned around, she started making a fuss over their hair, hollering for the "smallest bowl in the kitchen"...after she walked away I had to explain about bowl cuts-they had no idea what she was talking about, but DH and I were hysterical...
Still smiling imaging someone having to ride a stick horse around singing "Happy Birthday To Me"...LOL...

Eeeww, now I'm having second thoughts about our reservation in January. I thought everyone raved about this place!? Shrimp is one of the few things I eat (besides veggies) - bud NOT that way!!
