Shame CBR was a low point for you. We are not big CBR fans overall, we stayed there a couple of years ago but the only thing we had from the food court was the large pizza on 2 occasions and it was fine.

Happy planning for next time
CBR itself wasn't a low point, just the food court. We actually liked the resort and particularly like the outside space for sitting out in the evenings which other resorts we've stayed at have lacked. We thought the main pool was good too. If the food court improves, then it would be a serious contender for future visits.

I really enjoyed the chicken wrap there, although the jerk chips were definitely different to what you had - I think you were swizzed there as the proper ones were delicious, like kettle chips.

You've definitely made me add BoG lunch (we normally only go for breakfast there) and Blaze to our list for this year.

Great report, thanks!
I think the food at CBR has changed quite a bit as reports I'd read of yummy sounding things (like roast beef pittas) are no longer available and the hand made chips were dire - a bit like poppadoms that haven't been fully cooked . The chicken wrap I had was nice, but didn't include half the ingredients actually listed in the description. The best thing ais the turkey BLT and large pizza.. We managed to find something each time we did eat there, but didn't eat there often as it wasn't great and had limited choice. Whereas we ate at both POR and POFQ quite regularly. We like a good food court as there are times when we just want to chill at the resort and not have to leave in order to have something decent to eat. Hopefully things will improve with the refurb

The big Mickey chocolate coins, were those available in a lot of shops that sell confectionary or did you buy them from 1 specific place? My sister in law loves chocolate coins so that would make a great present!
We got them in the shop at CBR. I'm sure I saw them somewhere else too - possibly World of Disney or the Emporium. They're a great treat to bring home

Blaze is now a definite - would 1 pizza not be enough for 2? We always end up over ordering so was just wondering x
We have some downtime every day, so whilst the children were sorting their pins out or catching up with friends back home, I would write up my report. I definitely found it easier than waiting until I was back, plus it was all fresh in my mind.

Depending on how hungry you are, 1 pizza between 2 would be enough. Especially if you want to leave room for something like a Ghirardelli's ice cream If you're pretty hungry though, get 1 each. They have boxes so that you can take away anything you don't manage to eat too

Thank you to everyone else for your lovely comments too

Thanks for doing this food report Vickie.

Really enjoyed reading and it has given us food for thought, sorry couldn't resist that, for our stay in November. I hadn't realised about Blase but after seeing your report and pictures will definitely be giving that a go.

Thanks again.

Really enjoyed your report! We stayed at cbr last year and found the food fine but I think that's partly because I'm gluten free and am generally pleased to get anything, (The gf turkey blt with a gf choc chip cookie was my favourite), the kids only really wanted burgers, nuggets, pasta and pizza and hubby had expected all the food in wdw to be awful theme park food so was happy with everything! Also, we only had a week onsite and I did think it might get a bit repetitive for a fortnight.

Really enjoyed your report and now I'm hungry and wishing we were going back!

Thanks for sharing Vickie.

Just when I thought I had made the decision to go with the DDP next year I look at all your lovely pics and remember all the amazing QS meals we'd miss out on plus the flexibility - arghhhh.

Ooh, love the chocolate coin Mickeys...and those pack flat, too.

And when I see you many credits YOU (you dining plan guru, you) had left - I don't feel like such a failure! We've been back since December, and I still have DDP snacks in my kitchen...
