For dinner, another place that was also on the list last time but we hadn't made it and it was a first for me, Olive Garden.

To start we got the amazing bread and both ordered salad (you get a choice of soup or salad included with all meals).

For mains I got chicken parmigiana with a mixed berry sparkling water to drink.

DH got tour of Italy: Chicken Parmigiana, Lasagna Classico and Fettuccine Alfredo with a beer.

This was all really good, hard not to fill up on the bread and salad!

Cost $44.80 and $8.96 tip.

Brilliant report, giving me great ideas for our trip to Orlando and New York at the end of the month.
Our hotel is close to Miller's Ale House and we were keen to try it, even more so now after seeing your meals

Our favourite meal last time was at California Grill at the Contemporary, so we chose to go back there this time and it also gave us a chance to see the new MK fireworks Happily Ever After, as we weren't doing MK this trip.

We were planning lunch in Market Street Cafe in Celebration but when we arrived it was closed so we went to Celebration Town Tavern instead.

I had bacon and cheese potato skins, a garden side salad with ranch dressing and a sprite.

DH had a cajun chicken hoagie with fries and boston baked beans and a Sam Adams beer.

Took a while to come as they were quite busy but the food was all really good.

Another Dibb favourite that we had tried last time, and decided to go back as there was one 5 mins drive from our villa was Bahama Breeze. Loved the villa location (Formosa Gardens) as there was so much within a short drive.

I was excited to see a virgin mango, kiwi and strawberry margarita on the menu, this was amazing!

I had a starter as my main, the chicken quesadilla: Sliced chicken with onions, sweet peppers, spinach and our three cheese blend. Griddled and served with tomato salsa and sour cream. I also had a house side salad: Fresh greens, Roma tomatoes, cucumber ribbons and pumpkin seeds, drizzled with Island vinaigrette.

DH had Jamaican jerk chicken: Half chicken marinated and rubbed with authentic jerk seasonings and roasted, served with yellow rice, black beans and ripe plantain. He also had the house side salad and a beer.

All great food again.
