Dixonsontour does DDP 2019 Dining Review COMPLETE

[ginstar76]

Just catching up on this report. It seems we were at the California grill brunch at the same time. I can see my husband in the photo! We loved it and spent 3.5 hours there!

It’s so frustrating when you feel unwell on holiday but at least it was short lived.

I did laugh at the matching jumper for the dog. We spent a lot of time in that area in the Co-op looking at the dog stuff.

Drink was tasty.

I know QS at HS gets a bad press but DD especially was happy with the options here. Food was always tasty and freshly cooked.

Day 9 continued

Dinner

Storybook Dining Artist Point, Wilderness Lodge



































I'd managed to get adr for 7pm. There were a lot of Brits in tonight maybe as we find it easier to get adr's here with our longer stays?

I've been to artist point once before when it was a signature. DD was 6 and coincidentally wore a snow white dress.

The dining room looked beautiful and all the litlle touches were special like the tree stands, apples on napkins and leather bound menu.

DD agreed to have transformation potion for purposes of this report! It's lemonade and a blue colour they add at the table.





Think she had diet coke later.

I had the enchanted apple cocktail included in ddp. Very nice.









Now initially I thought this was going to be California grill all over again as DD was not happy with the menu. I knew this when I booked but there were kids options she would eat. She was being difficult as she feels awkward ordering kids but I pointed out to DD the adult lady at next table had plain pasta and sauce on side.

The server here was lovely and so accomodating and didn't make DD feel awkward.

I explained I know it's an adult credit thats not a problem but can DD get the kids food. She was lovely and offered to do a bigger portion of pasta alfredo, the grilled chicken or an off menu option of chicken tenders and fries.

So DD had the kids starter





This was bread, cheese string, veggies and ranch dip and a jar to shake to make butter.

I got the regular starters. They still gave our table two of each. They are tiny portions. Mushroom Soup was delicious, shrimp cocktail was 1 shrimp in a pot. I wasn't too keen on the terrine.

Presentation is gorgeous, they put them on the tree stand.

















DD went for the tenders and fries. Big portion and she was quite happy with this.





I had the butter poached salmon. This was absolutely lovely. Best entree of the trip. Menu description is butter poached sustainable fish with farro, fava beans, english peas and gremolata. Server said fish was cooked sous vide to draw the butter through. It was sort of a risoto with a big piece of salmon on top. I loved it.









The characters came out and came to each table. DD said Snow white didn't blink at all! The dwarves were cute.

















There was also a part where they played music and came around the restaurant.

You get to go up to meet the evil queen and photopass is there.

Neither of us were wowed by the desserts. They were very sweet. We tried them. You get gooseberry pie, choc apple mousse and a jar with sponge cake. Server then brought box with dry ice with popcorn and chocolate hearts.







































It was $59 each and then $14 for my drink and $5 for DD's.















$145.91 plus tip or 2 TS

Overall I loved this meal and thought it was special for our last night. Server was lovely. It felt really magical. Great value for 1 TS. Would definitely recommend. We weren't rushed at all, there just over an hour.

Day 10

Saturday 25th October

MK and Time to go home



Breakfast Intermission food court

DD was hungry and had a pain au chocolate. We were now low on snacks and paid cash.





Snack credit or $3.99 plus tax $4.27



Breakfast Be Our Guest





I'd managed to get another early adr here as I'd enjoyed it earlier in the holiday. Pre ordered again. It was really quick in and out here again. We chose to sit in the west wing for a change.

















Shared 1 QS. I had a coffee and a mimosa. DD water. We got the pastries. I chose the meats and cheese. DD tried some bread but wasn't hungry after her pain au choc earlier. I really enjoyed this but hadn't had brie or marmalade all year on my diet!.









We liked BOG breakfast both times. It didn't take much time out of day and it's great value for a QS. Sharing was no problem either and there was more than enough for us for breakfast.

$40 or 1 QS



















Had a good morning got lots of rides done. It was beautiful wather today with blue sky, can remember looking up and thinking tomorrow I'm back in cold England.



Brunch Crystal Palace









I'd booked this as we had 2 TS credits left due to cancellig Teppan Edo. DD was now hungry so we checked in and were seated early.

Server was nice and characters were fun. I do like the atmosphere in here, it's really light and airy.

I had the sangria for my DDP drink as I'd already had a mimosa earlier. Its not even 11am and I'm already on my second drink of the day! I had coffee too and DD diet coke.

















They do omlettes here but I didn't get one this time. Had lots of cheesy potatoes which are gorgeous. I had breakfast pizza and there were scrambled eggs and peppers.











Plate 2





I also had some dessert, the lasagne and mickey waffle and fruit.













I didn't go mad as I was mindful i didn't want to feel ill on flight home. Looking at the photos there are lots of things I wish I had tried.





















I took some buffet photos. This would have been just before it swaped over to lunch so some dishes look a bit empty. Crystal Palace has same buffet both sides. They closed half the buffet to set up for lunch so you could still acess all the breakfast food. I did really enjoy the food, was my second favourite breakfast buffet after chef mickey's.











































































Cost 2 TS $99.05 plus tip. It's $41 each plus $11 for my drink










We watched the show on the castle stage which was a nice way to end our trip.

I fancied the Snow White meal but have been put off thinking my daughter wouldn’t eat anything (also fairly fussy). Good to know they would make an alternative.

Yes they were very accomodating. Really enjoyed the meal.

[Kat11]

We enjoyed Storybook but in hindsight my dd should’ve had the child’s meal, she would’ve much preferred that. We had the same Snow White as you but our wicked queen was different to yours. 😂
