Beaches & Cream - Beach Club resort

Beaches and Cream sounded really cool to me, so we stopped there on one of our last days for lunch. We ate at the counter and split a double cheeseburger and a fudge brownie sundae. This was another delicious place to eat and has a great atmosphere too! One day I will tackle the "Kitchen Sink"!

Ghiradelli - Downtown Disney

One night we stopped at the Ghiradelli Store. We split a large brownie Sundae topped with ice cream and hot fudge that was absolutely delicious. YUM!!! We highly recommend!!!

Fulton's - Downtown Disney

We had lunch at Fulton’s Crab House where I had a crab cake and my husband had a cheeseburger (no, he doesn't like seafood). The crab cake was extremely rich. The wait staff was so-so. We'll probably not try this again for awhile.

Cirque Du Soleil La Nouba - Downtown Disney

La Nouba was a really neat show filled with all sorts of impressive acrobatics, but neither of us really got the artistic costumes and excess makeup. But we did enjoy all of the main tricks. A nice one time experience for us.

Sea Raycers - Bay Lake

We rented two water mice and spent an hour cruising around in Bay Lake where we were able to ride around the Contemporary, Grand Floridian, Polynesian, Ft. Wilderness and the Magic Kingdom. We had a good time zooming around even though we both admitted it would have been more fun with more speed and tighter steering. However we got some fun pictures as we rode boats under the monorail and behind the ferries (and technically you are not supposed to take pictures, so we don't suggest doing it, just fyi).

Crystal Palace - Magic Kingdom

We went to the Crystal Palace for our dinner one night, where we enjoyed a lot of delicious food on the buffet and had good visits with Pooh, Piglet, Tigger, and Eeyore. I loved the interior of this restaurant. I'm not a huge Pooh and friends fan, but I'm glad we tried it.

Brown Derby - Disney MGM Studios

We had an early dinner at the Brown Derby, where we had chosen to do the Fantasmic dinner package. We each got an appetizer, entrée, and dessert. I had the crab cakes, filet mignon, and Greatest Celebration on Earth dessert (an orange flavored chocolate something). My husband had a cobb salad (the picture below shows it after the server mixed it, it was much prettier before!), roast pork tenderloin, and vanilla bean crème brulee. The food was wonderful! Our server was very nice too. I loved the overall feel of this restaurant. We will definitely try this one again. (My apologies for the pictures, the lighting was not working well with my camera here.)

Garden Grill - Epcot

We ate at the Garden Grill for dinner one night. We enjoyed our meal of Caesar salad, bread with orange butter (YUM), flank steak, fried catfish, pork chops with apple jelly, fresh green beans and garden vegetables, and potatoes au gratin. For dessert we had a selection of cakes, including chocolate cake, lemon bars, pecan pie, brownie, pound cake and whip cream. For our dinner entertainment we were constantly visited by Mickey, Pluto, Chip & Dale. Pluto was lost but his tag said that if he was found, to return him to Mickey. Mickey told us that Minnie was in the back cooking our food, but then he blushed and covered his face in embarrassment. Meanwhile, Chip and Dale had a lovely time torturing the wait staff. They stole straws, and sugar packets, played with the ketchup, and Dale had a sign that said "feed me" in his overall pocket, so we gave him some bread. Chip later got in a food fight with our waitress where she put whip cream on his nose, and he chased her with ketchup. Mickey tried to break it up, but Chip splattered ketchup on his glove. Later Pluto came and joined us for dessert, and tried to feed my husband some cake but got upset with me when I couldn’t work the camera quick enough. All in all it was a very delicious and entertaining meal!!!

Rose & Crown, England - Epcot

We ate lunch at the Rose & Crown. I had chicken pastry (served with peas) and my husband had the Bangers & Mash. Both meals were delicious and we enjoyed also the dessert sampler (apple crumb a la mode, Guinness chocolate cake, rum flavored sponge cake with pudding). Sitting is a little tight, and if the weather is nice, I would suggest eating on the patio. Our waiter was great!

Pooh's Playful Spot - Magic Kingdom

A slightly controversial piece of real estate in the Magic Kingdom...some pictures of the new children's play area.

Room service - chocolate covered stawberries

A slightly expensive but tasty treat...Yum!

Biergarten, Germany - Epcot

We had lunch at the Biergarten in Germany. While it was disappointing to learn that the show didn't begin until 1:15 (our reservations were at noon), we enjoyed visiting with the family from England that we were seated with. We dined on a lunch of salads (potato, cucumber, macaroni, tomato, bratwurst) meats and cheeses, chicken snitzel (fried chicken), rotisserie chicken,potatoes, macaroni and cheese, bratwurst, german sausage, sauerkraut, roast pork, and spatzel (noodles) and desserts of apple strudel, chocolate cake, cheesecake and sweet rolls. It was pretty good, we might go back to check out the show sometime...

Rainforest Cafe - Animal Kingdom

We were impressed by the jungle in the restaurant, the "thunderstorm" is especially fun. If you have never been to one of these before, be prepared to be overwhelmed when you first walk into the dining area. We ate at lunch, I had a turkey wrap and husband got the Planet Earth pasta. The wrap was so-so, honestly, Subway subs/wraps are better, the pasta was good, though. Our waiter was a little slow, a manager ended up coming to refill our drinks. Overall, it was ok, but we won't plan to go back soon, we'll try something else.

Welcome!

I wanted to share my reviews of some Walt Disney World restaurants from our past trips. Enjoy!
