Yak and Yeti Local Food Cafe @ Animal Kingdom

This was our first time at the Yak & Yeti cafe and we were not disappointed, although I think I made the better choice here.

I had the Sweet & Sour Chicken which was lovely, nice chunks of peppers & pineapple in the sauce, and great value for a qs meal. You get loads of chicken, only downside of this as I've heard others say is it makes it quite hard to get down to the rice portion as all the chicken is piled on top (hardly a downside really though )

Hubby had the Asian Chicken sandwich which comes with a bag of sun chips, he said it was ok, but he would have preferred the sweet and sour! That's what he gets for trying to choose the healthy option ha ha !

Dessert choice wasn't really great so I had the Banana pudding & hubby the chocolate mousse. They were ok, a bit like angel delight not something I would have ordered/ paid for, if not on the dining plan.

50's Prime Time Cafe @ Hollywood Studios





This is also one of our must do meals, I really like the atmosphere and the food is nice too. We never really get "picked on" but it's fun to see other families getting messed with (we are too good and always set the table and eat our veggies like good boys & girls ) Cousin Tara was our server today and she is just lovely...but doesn't take any nonsense mind

I also love it here because you get Vanilla coke...mmm!

Ok on to the good stuff. I had Aunt Liz's Golden Fried Chicken which came with Green beans and yummy mash. It was lovely and crispy and you get a lot of chicken. I didn't manage to eat it all, but I still got my Clean Plate Club sticker & was allowed to have dessert as I'd been good and ate all my greens

Hubby had the meatloaf served with corn...because you know he was never gonna eat green stuff and Cousin Tara wouldn't have let him have any pudding!

We both had the same dessert which was the awesomeness & most ridiculously sized, Dad's Brownie Sundae. This is a huge portion of brownie that is topped with ... wait for it... ice cream, whipped cream, M&Ms, hot fudge, caramel sauce, Caramel Popcorn & just in case that isn't enough sugar, there's also some mickey sprinkles on there too!

I barely made a dent in it, but hubby was determined, he'd been looking forward to having this... pretty much since booking the holiday! It is lovely, but just so big you could share it no problem.

Columbia Harbour House at Magic Kingdom

This is one of my favourite Counter Service meals at Magic Kingdom.

Normally if you go upstairs you can snag a seat no problem and it's usually a bit quieter. Downstairs always seems a lot busier. Not today though, it was busy up and downstairs! So while hubby waited to collect our food I had to source a table. Eventually found one after a lot of hovering! Not ideal as it was next to a bin, but marginally better than having to stand and eat it

I had the chicken nuggets and hubby had the Battered fish basket, they were both tasty & for dessert we both had the Seasonal Cobbler which was blueberry & very yummy, nice amount of cinnamon in it (I love cinnamon), it came with a light custard on top.

I'll apologise now as I only have one photo, and that's of the dessert!

Ohana @ Polynesian Resort



This was our first time at Ohana, I managed to book it just the day before, for an early dinner at 5pm.

We started with the pineapple coconut bread & salad, I wasn't overly keen on the bread but the salad was lovely and fresh.

Then we had the pot stickers (awesome) chicken wings, noodles, veggies and they came around frequently with the meat and shrimp skewers.

This was finished off with the banana bread pudding (yummy).

Everything seemed to come in quick succession, as soon as we sat down so apologies I don't have many photo's as it seemed quite rushed. I found this quite off putting as I'm a fairly slow eater! The food was very nice though. I presume they're rushing about to give you everything before they do the coconut race with the kids.


Chicken wings, Noodles & Veggies





I was glad we got to experience it, but even though the food was tasty, it's not somewhere I'd rush back too. I know a lot of people love it, but just not for me. Too rushed and very noisy. I would however get a bucket of those pot stickers to take away if they allowed it though, they were very yummy!

We adore CHH as a QS meal. Only ever done 'Ohana for breakfast and while we had no complaints ourselves it on the whole 'Ohana does seem to be having a dip and receiving a number of moans/groans and genuine complaints recently. I guess overall long established restaurants will have big dips. X

Great updates - shame ohana was so rushed! Good to hear that the food is ok though, its on our list for this year

Forgot to say on the last one - totally with you on the vanilla coke front! xx
