The refurbished rooms at Old Key West are just beautiful. The kitchen is so handy and saves you a fortune on breakfast.
We enjoyed Planet Hollywood too, I think a lot of Disney dining is about new experiences so sometimes it is great just to have ‘normal’ food. Thanks for sharing what comes with the lunchtime Patriot’s Platter, it used to be a little different from the dinner version and I’m not sure it came with mac and cheese in the past. OH will be pleased. Also great to hear how much success you had with your Landry Card. I’m thinking about T-Rex for our first night but don’t want to book in case we’re too tired, or delayed. You’ve eaten a few places that we’ll be going to this year, I am so excited, I can almost taste the food from your pictures! |

I love reading a food report, I really should make the effort to write one up myself
How fantastic to be upgraded at HRH, I was impressed you managed to get to Bubba Gumps on the first night. The Landry card is such a godsend when you can just rock up without a reservation. I love your view from the room at OKW I think its great to have a balcony. We haven’t managed to stay in one of the resorts with one just yet, I’m slowly working my way through them all! Planet Hollywood seems to get mixed reviews on here but I would definitely be up for trying your mac n cheese burger, it looks really good. Looking forward to reading the rest of your report, thanks for sharing it with us. |

I can't wait to be eating again from Friday. I already know I'm having cake pretty much as soon as we get there and unpack lol. I'll be using those snack credits well. My food and drink pics will keep you going 👍

Day 8 – Blizzard Beach
Started off today with the usual doughnuts and pop tarts in the room. Then off we went to Blizzard Beach. For us this park is just ok, I think because the kids love the wave pool so much at Typhoon Lagoon it makes BB not seem as good. It does have a nice area for smaller kids and still has some decent slides too. So the food plan today was a late lunch at Sanaa at Animal Kingdom lodge – Kidani as it’s really close to BB. I think we booked in for about 2.30pm. Then we booked in to the Boathouse at about 9pm to give us enough time to recover from our late lunch!
Ben got a Joffreys doughnut At around 11.30am Josh and Tom were hungry so they had their first lunch of the day! Tom got a pulled pork burger with crisps and Josh got a hot dog with crisps, I got 2 sangrias with these. So I was happy lol I got our refillable mug reactivated so the kids had as much soft drinks as they wanted all day. Wayne was driving so he couldn’t have a lager as he wanted one with his lunch. At around 2pm we headed off to Kidani Village where Sanaa is located. We love this restaurant! Myself and Wayne went by ourselves when we went in 2015 and left the kids with my parents for the evening but the kids all like curry now so we thought they would also enjoy it. On the dining plan they let you have two different types of curry, a vegetable side dish and a rice dish. If you are paying out of pocket you only pick one curry dish, although I am sure you must be able to pay more for a second one. We started off by getting the bread service, this is one of my favourite things. So so good! Three types of naan bread and two other Indian breads a kulcha and a paratha. Then we got all the dips, we all loved this. This is not included in the dining plan unless you are on the deluxe plan but definitely worth getting. As none of us wanted dessert today our server didn’t make us pay for it which was lovely, later on in the holiday we went back and the server didn’t let us do this but they don’t have to so we didn’t mind. Ben got double butter chicken which is like chicken tikka masala, with rice and chickpeas with a slush Josh got butter chicken, braised beef, aloo masala and rice Tom got tandoori chicken flat bread I got butter chicken, braised beef, cilantro coconut vegetables and rice with a raspberry mojito to drink. I loved the butter chicken the beef was just ok, the sauce it was in was let it down a bit. Loved the vegetables also. Wayne got butter chicken, spicy Durban shrimp, paneer tikka and rice with a lager to drink We all loved this meal so much, highly recommend. None of us wanted dessert, we all knew we were off to the Boathouse later on. My sister (slaleyhall) had been to the Boathouse earlier in the year and had a bad experience. I really wanted to try it still but asked to be sat outside because of how freezing they had been inside with the aircon. I would recommend an outside table, it was lovely! I forgot to take a picture of the bread prior to starting eating it, so we were given more than this but it was lovely. I think it was glazed in honey. We loved it. Wayne got the 12oz filet steak Oscar style. This came with crab on top of the steak in a sauce. He loved this. He got a lager to drink I got the regular 12oz filet steak, this comes with a few roasted potatoes. We were worried this wouldn’t be big enough so we ordered extra fries but they didn’t get ate as it was really filling. I got a pinot grigio Tom got the salmon with salad, he loved this Josh got the burger and fries which he really liked Ben got the 12oz filet steak, we asked for this medium but it was underdone. We should have sent it back really but we didn’t, so he left the centre section and had some of mine. He got a Shirley temple which is lemonade with grenadine in it. He loves these For dessert I had had my eye on the huge baked Alaska. It’s sooooo massive. Way too much for us as it turned out. I actually asked the waitress if she had ever seen anyone finish it and she said she hadn’t! It was tasty though and glad we tried it. It was S'Mores Baked Alaska, graham cracker crust, rocky road ice cream, toasted marshmallows & milk chocolate; serves 4 people – there were 5 of us and there was about half left. Thanks for reading! |

Great service at Sanaa them allowing you to have the bread service instead of dessert.
I loved the bread at The Boathouse, after Yachtsman it is probably my favourite bread service. |
