We just got back from our trip that went from 12/31 until 1/06. I have appreciated the posts to restaurants on here in the past so I thought I would share ours and hope it helps someone.
12/31...New Year's Eve. OK. So we were in WDW for New Year's Eve. Stayed at Saratoga . Had a great time at the pool that day. Then of course, the dysfunctional family we are (not really..well, maybe a little) , we could not agree on dinner plans. So, what we ended up with was a frozen lasagne meal and some tater tots teenage DD had to have.
OK... so our meal selection for our wonderful trip started out , shall we say, bland. But it gets better.
Really, it does.
Next morning we scheduled to eat breakfast at Kona Cafe but after realizing that our transfer or rooms from SSR to our home resort BWV (Yea!!! Sorry, but our room really stunk at SSR (location wise, not smells because the room was so new which that part was great) would consume too much time and we just had to hurry to the parks so we opted for :
SPOODLES: We got there before they even opened. Had a very nice breakfast there. DH had a great omelet type thingy with some potatoes (I think)... pretty tasty... DD had french toast ...pretty tasty too.... and DS had the four MIckey waffles (I don't know how they tasted b/k he never shares with mom !!! I had a cup of coffee (and bites of DH and DD's meals). Perfect amount. Overall, food was good but wish we would have held on to the Kona ressie and got to the parks just a tad later.
Our next big meal would be that night at:
SAN ANGEL INN: There's been mixed reviews here but we have always enjoyed this one and we knew the boat would be closed down after the first night and we wanted to ride it. Sooo.... off we went.... granted I was not all that hungry with that BIG breakfast of mine much earlier in the day. Here's what we got:
DH got the combinacion cozumel... it was grilled beef tenderloin and shrimp with mashed potatoes and veggies... I guess he figures SOMEONE might want to try a bite or two. (We planned on sharing this b/k I just was not that hungry). This was very good but I don't think DH was extremely impressed. DD got the nachos for her meal. (Not that great). DS got hmmm... sorry , guys I just don't remember.
And I got not one, but two margaritas. I was kidding with the waitress when I told her "I'm not eating, I'm just drinking." But, after I got the San Angel Marg. on the rocks, I saw a lady at the next table (yes, the tables are very close... our waitress accidentally flicked my DD's straw (unused, I think) over on this table) with a frozen one that looked very yummy sooo, I asked what kind it was . Waitress said Strawberry but I opted for the Strawberry, Mango and Lime (in one glass.... not three seperate..C'mon , I'm not that big of a lush, geesh! ) It was EXCELLENT. Then , I managed to munch on nachos and of course a little of DH and DD's meals. I was very satisfied and I didn't tip over getting on to the boat ride either. We love this place even if it is just for the atmosphere and margaritas.
That was it for our first day... except for one Mickey bar that DS ate and one big cookie ice cream DD and I ate. Are you beginning to realize that DS is the smart one in all of this...he manages to keep all of his food ..... but all of that may change.
I'll continue with our following days of our DDP ("DIS"functional "family" Dining Plan) shortly. Hey! It saved us lots of $$!
