    Default Help me Impress the Family!

    I know about the Dole Whips.
    And I like the Chicken Parmesan sandwich at Pizzafari, for example.

    But I need more Counter Service or snack stand secret gems to plan around.

    We'll be visiting all 4 Parks and Typhoon Lagoon May 9th-16th.

    Help me be the best DD I can be.
    Thanks
    Oh, and I won't tell anyone else. It'll just be our little secret.

    We enjoy the fare at Columbia Harbour House in MK - they've got some good chicken, fish and salad entrees for the adults, and a kids menu which includes mac&cheese and such. The upper level is usually quiet - it's a nice place to eat and take a break.

    Cosmic Ray's has yummy rotisserie chicken and ribs (as well as hamburgers etc.). You can also enjoy the show.

    The Counter service in the Land at Epcot is great. Everything is very fresh and not at all "fast foody".

    I would suggest while in Epcot stopping by Boulangerie Patisserie in France for a snack or dessert. No matter what you have, it will be delicious! Your family will surely be impressed with you

    I definitely agree with Columbia Harbor House. My DH and I always get the tuna sandwiches from there. OMG!!! YUM! Also, Cosmic Rays is tasty too. I haven't been to Sunshine Seasons at Epcot at the land for lunch or dinner. We've only had the breakfast and that was super good. We plan to go in September for lunch. Everything looks so good!

    The cinnamon rolls at the bakery on Main Street are very yummy! They are also enormous. Fun to share.

    If you like Chinese, the Lotus Blossom at Epcot has pretty good food. Harbor House at Magic Kingdom is very good, as is the Earl of Sandwich at Downtown Disney.

    At Animal Kingdom-
    Flame Tree BBQ has great food, but to me the "gem" is the seating area. Walk down a little trail to a group of tables by the water. It's a beautiful spot to sit and totally forget that you're inside a Theme Park.

    At Magic Kingdom-
    Cosmic Ray's rotisserie chicken and rib plate. It's huge and a great deal if you're using the dining plan. 1 CS credit and it is a ton of food to share with the kiddos.

    My favorite at Epcot outside of WS is Sunshine Seasons. It has a great selection and the desserts were good too!

    In MK, we like Cosmic Rays and Pecos Bills. We've also been known to make a meal out of something from the Main Street Bakery but that's our little secret!

    Columbia Harbor House is our Top Spot for counter-service! They have the best tuna sandwiches I've ever had!! Everything else on the menu is great too, but thats what we always get is the tuna.

    We also love Electric Umbrella at Epcot, Cosmic Rays in Tomorrowland, and Pecos Bills Cafe in Frontierland. YUMMY!!!
    Been there, Haven't done it all...GOING BACK!!!

    Next trip "Home" - September 3-10th 2016 at the Beach Club Resort! Giannas 1st trip to WDW!!!

    Our hidden gem of Disney is Wolf Gang Puck Express in DTD. The food is the best CS in the world (Disney World that is).

    And I agree with the above post that the Flame Tree's food is great but the area is wonderful.
