I’m starving so reading this while dinner is cooking isn’t helping but it’s a great report

Well that's an impressive first full food day! Good start with the breakfast at Chef Mickeys - it all looked very nice.
Hollywood and Vine sounds like the kind of place we would like, some nice looking choices there. I'm storing all of these thoughts away for future use I've heard good reports of Olivias before, what a shame you weren't really up for a full meal. The sandwich looks lovely, I think I would have preferred that as well.

It’s funny you say that about character meals as I’ve gotten to that stage too. I actually suggested to Marie we don’t bother next year (definitely none this year as paying OOP!).
We’re also fans of H&V but haven’t been since it became Minnie’s seasonal thingy. We thought about it next year for the Fantasmic! package again. We also think Olivia’s is a hidden gem! We went last year even though we were staying at POR. It wasn’t as good as we’d had previously though. |

H&V seasonal dine looks so good, nice to read a positive report about it as I love the costumes and the chance to get good Fantasmic seats.
Really interesting to find out more about resort options too. (The diet has only just started, why aren't I thin yet?! ) |

Hmm, Chef Mickey looks good, I'm really tempted by it. I wanted to eat here this year, but was overruled! I said to DD that she could choose between Crystal Palace and Chef Mickey. She chose CP, she adores the pooh characters so I shouldn't have been surprised. But I had wanted to try out Chef Mickey as we've eaten at CP before. I might have to try to get her to reconsider. The problem I will have is she can't meet piglet anywhere other than CP and she has made Minnie ears with 1 ear based on pooh and 1 ear based on piglet...so not sure I will win her over.
A fab first full day. Loving your report and it looks like everyone else is too!

Excellent start so far. Thank you for all the details.
I'm following along as it will be interesting to see if all the meals included you find worth it with the added time it takes to eat more TS and also the cost in tips they would be my concerns. The food as always looks lush so will mostly be following for that

I'm really enjoying reading about all your meals. We loved Chef Mickey too even though it doesn't always get great reviews.
We didn't do Olivias on our last trip as we weren't staying at OKW but I think it will be a must for next time as we all really missed it. On our last trip we did Hollywood and Vine for breakfast and weren't keen but your lunch looks delicious so I'm thinking that might make it on to the list for next time too. I'm sure by the time we can finally get back I'll have about 3 times too many restaurants on the list! Looking forward to reading more. |

Wow, that's a lot of food and characters for one day. I do like a club sandwich and the freshly carved turkey sounds delicious!
Did you count up how many desserts ended up in the fridge and not being eaten? I'm also guessing that you had quite a few snack credits left at the end of the holiday as I don't think you've used any yet? Looking forward to the next update

Stupidly excited about this report. Loving it so far and can't wait for more.
You did seem to be falling a little bit behind on eating all the food at the start as can be expected when you first arrive (a huge shock to the system compared to normal everyday eating). Hope you managed to get over the jet lag, stretch your bellies and catch up soon. Un-eaten desserts?! Nooooo lol I have a huge sweet tooth so that's pretty much blasphemy to me
