When preparing for our trip I got so many helpful hints from these boards I wanted to repay that favor.
For our 11/18-11/25 trip it was Me & DH, both in our late 30s, and our kids 13,11 & 11. When planning this trip I agonized about the DDP. I ran the numbers up, down, and back up again. The main sticking point for me is that my 11yos are considered adults, yet they would never, ever eat that much food. Then when we got closer to the trip Disney introduced their new healthier menus. Instead of agonizing I was panicking, when reviewing the menus from everyones reports I knew my kids wouldnt eat a lot of it. Luckily, the panicking was unnecessary.
Day 1 - Le Cellier.
There have been a lot of good and bad reports about Le Cellier. For us, the meal was superb! We had 4:30 ADRs, but was as LeCellier at 4pm. I asked to be seated earlier, but there was nothing available, so we came back at 4:30. Our server was John, he was friendly, polite, and attentive. We asked for extra pretzel bread when we were seated, and received it. The kids sodas glasses were never empty.
I had the Cheese soup
the Seared King Salmon
and the Creme Brulee Duo
DH had the Caesar Salad,
Mushroom filet,
and berry cobbler.
My 13yo had the7oz Filet Mignon with the sauce on the side
and smores.
It was his first filet Mignon, and he is hooked! He raved that he has never had a better steak. This from a 13yo!
My 11yo son had the kids hotdog
and my daughter had the kids steak.
Both had smores for dessert and enjoyed their meals.
Everything was delicious, and we would eat here again!
Total cost for dinner plus tip $170.00
After dinner we walked around world showcase waiting for IllumiNations. It was chilly so we had 4 hot cholocates, 1 coffee, 2 pretzels and a free box of popcorn.
Total cost for snacks $21.25.
