Dixons go Deluxe October/November 2012 14 nights dxddp updated 25/11/12
Intro
Us DH 38 likes meat, pizza and spicy food hates seafood and mushrooms Me 37 eats most things DD age 6 Ύ - not picky but knows what she likes Think this was our 16th trip to USA since 1997 and DDs 6th (not bad for an English 6yr old!) We have done ddp twice before in 2009 and 2010. October 2011 and May 2012 we stayed offsite and ate mainly offsite see my two dining on a budget reviews. Plan this time was just Disney. We booked 14 nights at Old Key West resort on the offer for UK visitors including free ddp which we upgraded to dxddp. We also had a 15th night room only at Art of Animation. Edited at 12:19 AM. |

Day 1 Travel Day
Day 1 Travel Day
Breakfast Frankie & Bennys Manchester Airport, UK Rating ok I had the English breakfast, DD a kids breakfast and DH a breakfast sandwich. Tea, coffee and appletiser to drink. Food was fine, seems to be the best option at terminal 2 we have eaten here before. I had a voucher off eat drinkfly.com for a free kids meal but they wouldnt accept it at breakfast time. Lunch We flew with US Airways via Philadelphia. Food was ok and DD got her kids meal we had ordered. Dinner Raglan Rd DTD Rating poor This was our 4th time eating here previously had great food. Unfortunately it wasnt this time. We were tired after our travel day and they seated us in front of the band it was so loud we and the servers had to shout at each other. DD hated it. The regular dancers were not on that night just a young girl who danced once DD did enjoy that. We didnt get any bread like usual (saw other tables did). Mains came same time as appetisers so they took the mains back. For appetiser we shared the dalkey duo battered sausages which were good. The mains we both had serous steak with irish chips (fries) not mash. Not good had been kept warm whilst we had the appetiser (we soon learnt to order the appetiser then the main a few mins later) Steak was undercooked though so went back to be cooked more. The onion rings were tough and dried out. Dessert. I had the trifle not great. Too chilled and soggy. DH had the dunbrody kiss which was very chocolatey and rich. DD had fish and chips ate a little. No appetiser or dessert. With hindsight a bad idea to go. We needed to pick up photopass plus card and an Alice dress for DD (which had been discontinued!) and hadnt been wowed by olivias at the resort last time. We had previously loved Raglan Rd. Id completely forgotton to factor in the band had always dined earlier when it was quiet and relaxed. Edited at 12:06 AM. |
