Day 1 ~ POR Foodcourt, Be Our Guest, Contempo Cafe, POR Foodcourt ~ 28th Oct 18
We headed to the food court for drinks and a couple of snacks to tide us over for a couple of hours before we had our Be Our Guest reservation.
We got a chocolate pastry (which only I ate!) and a rice crispie treat which the kids shared. The rice crispie treat was a hit with the kid's, I really enjoyed the pastry too and it was huge!
Next up was Be Our Guest for breakfast. I pre ordered on the app although everyone but me forgot what they ordered
We ordered the following:
Chris, Thomas and Noah:
Feast A La Gaston - Scrambled Eggs, Herb-Roasted Potatoes, Apple Smoked Bacon, and Sausage served with Fresh Fruit and a selection of pastries - $28.
Me:
Croque Madame - Open-faced Ham Sandwich topped with a Fried Egg, Gruyere Cheese, and Béchamel served with Fresh Fruit and a selection of pastries - $28
Caitlin:
French Toast - Brioche Bread served with Fresh Fruit and a selection of pastries - $15
We had 3 fountain drinks and 2 chocolate milks for the boys. As there were 5 of us we got 2 plates of pastries. Reading others pre trippies I hoped we would get 2, however, today we found out that the kid's don't really like pastries
they've eaten croissants and pain au chocolates before so this was news to us. It was then left to me on the pastry front as Mr Grump gets bad heartburn from pastry so he doesn't eat it often either
I managed half of the pain au chocolate
I feel the snacks this morning really hindered my experience here. The food was lovely, it was warm enough and everyone enjoyed their food there was just too much and it was overwhelming for the little one so we felt we needed to rush.
If paying OOP it is quite expensive for what it is but on the DDP this is a QS credit which I think is a great use of a credit.
We used a snack credit at Gastons Tavern for:
Le Fous Brew - Frozen Apple Juice with a hint of Toasted Marshmallow and topped with All-Natural Passion Fruit-Mango Foam - $5.79
The kid's said they liked it but after a few drinks they refused anymore so I guess they didn't
Mr Grump drank most of it, I didn't like it as I don't like apple juice so it was a bit of a waste for us, we all preferred the water.
Later that day we headed to the contemporary to pick up our car and grab some lunch.
We headed to the Contempo Cafe, ordering took a while as I was trying to sort everyone with snacks and drinks, my head hurt! We went to the till and were told that we couldn't have a large chocolate milk with the kid's meals or something, we ended up back and forth several times before we got sorted. When we paid the lady talked a bit about the dining plan and said we should get on with some snacks as we had 138 left
I told her I knew and that we only arrived the day before and had 2 weeks
We got all the food to share between us all.
Meat Lovers Flatbread - Italian Sausage, Pepperoni and Smoked Bacon topped with Mozzarella - $11.49 We swapped the drink for a cookie to share for dessert
Kid's Cheese Flatbread - served with Dannon® Danimals® Smoothie and choice of one side item: GoGo squeeZ® Applesauce, Apple Slices, Carrots or Grapes and choice of small Lowfat Milk, small Dasani® Bottled Water or Minute Maid® Apple Juice - $7.19 We opted for grapes and chocolate milk, we didn't realise you had to get the grapes yourself so we missed out on those! This was where we found you couldn't swap a drink on a kid's meal for a dessert or at least thats what the CM told us
Chicken Nuggets - served with Dannon® Danimals® Smoothie and choice of one side item: GoGo squeeZ® Applesauce, Apple Slices, Carrots or Grapes and choice of small Lowfat Milk, small Dasani® Bottled Water or Minute Maid® Apple Juice We got this an adult portion instead of a kid's and opted for fries with and a fountain drink.
The flatbread's were lovely and were a fab sharing size. The boys enjoyed their chicken nuggets too. The fries were hot and crispy but these ones were a little salty. Couldn't fault the food and a great use of a QS credit, would definitely go again.
Caitlin and I both had our birthday badges on and a lovely CM brought a cake over and said happy birthday to us which was lovely. Sadly we didn't have time to eat it so we got a takeaway container and took some of the chicken nuggets and chips that were left and the cake with us. The boys ate the nuggets and chips outside waiting for the car and Caitlin and I ate some of the cake the following day. It was nice but sickly.
For our evening meal we called at the food court on the way back from WalMart.
According to time stamps we got back around 6.45pm and went to the food court for food to take back to the room.
Chris
Pulled Pork All Beef Foot Long Hot Dog - topped with Pulled Pork with Fries and Creole Coleslaw - $13.49
Chris loved this, he said it was really tasty, the only issue was the size
it was huge and would have done us both but as I don't like pulled pork the boy was on his own
He barely managed any of the fries although the boys soon helped out with that haha.
Me
Customize-Your-Own Pasta - Choose from a variety of your favorite sauces and fresh ingredients, including Chicken and Shrimp - $11.49
I got alfredo sauce with chicken, bacon and onion. I really enjoyed this. The pasta was cooked well and everything tasted hot and fresh, it comes with a breadstick which was also lovely.
Kids
Large Cheese Pizza
We opted to swap the drinks for desserts, but as it was only 4 credits it was only 4 desserts so I let Chris and the kid's choose their own.
Cupcake Bayou
Cupcake Mickey Oreo
Strawberry Cheesecake
Thomas got a brownie too but we didn't get a photo for some reason. Chris LOVED his cheesecake, he is a massive cheesecake lover. The kids really enjoyed their desserts too although they had to eat them over a couple of days as they were just too sickly
