Our hotel was the Pop Century and because of the time we booked we had a free dining plan with hotel which gave us refillable drink mugs, 2 quick service meals and two snacks per day per person. Often we had breakfast at the hotel. After a day or two of getting the full breakfast we decided that for most of us, getting the pastry, drink and fruit combo instead made more sense. A light breakfast using our refillable mug for a drink left us with a snack of fruit and drink for at the park. We would get some quick service lunch wherever when we got hungry, a snack if we really wanted, then saved our bucks for a nice dinner. After the week we still had tons of food credits saved up so we got sandwiches and pastries from France in Epcot and caramels from Germany.
Our first day at Disney World we had dinner at The Sci-Fi dine in cafe in Hollywood Studios. We went there for the ambiance but the food was actually really good. The buffalo popcorn chicken was spicier than anticipated but the flavor was good. The chicken pasta was a great creamy sauce and well cooked.
Day 2: Marrakesh-Epcot
Delicious Moroccan food with great ambiance and a fun belly dance show. We tried both the chicken and seafood B'stilla and they were great, not the best I'd had but good. The lamb dishes were also great. Well spiced and tender.
Day 3: Sanaa outside Animal Kingdom
This became my new favorite. The view is amazing. The restaurant looks out over the middle of the hotel where they have a small nature preserve area where you can see zebras, giraffes and other animals from your dinner table. The food is Indian and African fusion with a definite lean towards Indian. The bread starter is a much but there is nowhere near enough bread. Everything else we tried was great. Curry sauces, well seasoned rice and overall a little too much food. We probably could have shared more than each having their own dish after big lunches but the food was so good we didn't care about over eating.
Day 4: Tony's Town Square-Magic Kingdom
This was unexpectedly delicious. Starting with the zucchini fries which were good but a bit dry. I had the seasonal ravioli with mushrooms which were absolutely delicious. Everyone else quite enjoyed their food too.
Lunch: Be our Guest -Magic Kingdom
We got an email invite for a special fast pass seating at Be our Guest which was awesome because there was no room for anyone without advanced reservations and those fill up fast. You order ahead of time too so as you show up your food comes out just minutes later. We did indeed try the grey stuff cupcake and it was good but not great. However the rest of the food was very good. We all tried the Tuna nicoise, croque monsieur, roast beef sandwich, quiche, and braised pork and an assortment of desserts. Every dish was great.
Day 5: Teppan Edo- Epcot
This place is all about the show with dinner. Volcano onion towers and flying pepper grinders keep you entertained while you see your steak, scallops, chicken or whatever else prepared before your eyes. While the quality of the food what not quite as impressive as some of the other restaurants, the food was still delicious and the show was great.
Overall, there wasn't a meal I didn't enjoy from breakfast to dinner to snacks.
Oh, and the ever famous dole whips were also awesome.
