A Nicki and Todd dining review...with the nieces!! LIVE from the Poly! - Page 7 - The DIS Discussion Forums

sms · 01-22-2009, 02:04 AM

Can't wait to hear more!! We will be staying at Poly in June for the first time. CP looked very good. Haven't ever been there but will def. make ressies for it. Sounds like a great way to start the day!

dizneeat · 01-22-2009, 02:18 AM

Thanks for the update, Nicki!

CP looks yummy. I guess we will have to try it during our August/September trip, esp. now that Boatwrights will stop serving breakfast.

on the ice cream sandwich - never fails to amaze me that no matter HOW cold it is one can always enjoy one of these.
Sorry about Park Fare! Especially since you had to wait for such an unbelieveably long time! Thank god for yummy adult drinks with glow cubes, paper umbrellas aso, lol!

So there is one restaurant we don't need to make reservations for!

Have a magical Thursday!!

Rootskate · 01-22-2009, 05:00 AM

I had been debating about whether or not to try 1900 Park Fare on our next trip. You just made up my mind for me! Yuck!

Have a great day today!!

Charleston Princess · 01-22-2009, 05:00 AM

I can't believe how cold it is down there right now. Sounds like it is almost as cold as it is here in North Georgia! I am also amazed at how empty the park was -- how nice to get all of MK done by 3:30!

Crystal Palace looks delicious as always! That's a shame about Park Fare though -- we ate there for breakfast a couple of years ago, but have never tried dinner -- won't be trying it now, that's for sure!

Poor Aunt Nickie! I would have needed a drink by then also!

ChelleinNC · 01-22-2009, 06:18 AM

Sorry the day didn't end as well as it started

CP looked yummy but it's a shame about 1900 PF. Guess I'll just have to make the strawberry soup at home

Have a great day today, and since you won't be at MK you can have a drink as soon as wanted/needed

DisneyJen · 01-22-2009, 06:50 AM

Hey Nicki ... sorry I am late to the party but you know how RL sometimes gets in the way of DIS

Love your reports ... Looking forward to the next installment.

Tinkerbell1013 · 01-22-2009, 06:56 AM

I am so excited to read this dining review! I've always found yours AFTER it was over (a year later...6 months later. I don't discriminate on good food porn!) This time though, I'm on time! Hope you all are having a great time and thanks for the tip on 1900 - I was considering adding it for dinner on my March trip and you talked me riiiiight out of it!!

I figure we win some we lose some, DH and I are all about the food and the girls are all about the characters....here the girls won!

The kids are totally loving the Poly...yesterday while DH was napping we took a stroll around the beach and they hung out in the hammocks, we toured the gift shop and the arcade....the older one said this is the best resort we should come back soon!

This morning it was 27 so I let everyone sleep in....DH is in the shower now and the girls are still zonked out! Hopefully HS will be as dead as MK was!

She is so cute, she was telling us that all day long! Cannot wait to see if TODAY is the best day of her life!

MickeyNicki · 01-22-2009, 07:43 AM

Good morning from a 27 degree Disney World! Wow this is insane! Todays high is supposed to be 60 which is better than the 54 we had yesterday. So being the nice girl I am I decided to let them all sleep in this morning and then hit Capt Cooks for breakfast, go to HS and see what that brings us.

Promise to update later! Have a great day everyone!

Lady Lallie · 01-22-2009, 07:57 AM

Your CP pictures make me want to be at Disney for breakfast!

Sorry about 1900 Park Fare.

Thank you so much for your wonderful reviews and pictures.

msce2 · 01-22-2009, 08:16 AM

Phenomenal reviews!!!!! So sorry about 1900 PF. I wonder if anyone has had a good experience there.

It is on our itinerary for May. Really glad to hear about CP though! On our list as well.

traci · 01-22-2009, 08:53 AM

I second your comments regarding 1900 Park Fare...we had dinner there 2 trips ago and we were so disappointed in the food. I was considering giving it a second try for our upcoming trip, but not after reading your review. Thanks so much!

Have a magical day!!!

POOHDRMR · 01-22-2009, 10:36 AM

We went to 1900 park fare in July for my dd 7th birthday dinner and it was horrible too.We had been many times before and didn't go the visit before and my dd missed it -she was in love with prince charming because he had kissed her hand last time.We had a 8:00pm ressie and we waited a really long time too.They sat us in the last table down the side that has the door that opens into the lobby of the hotel near the doors to the back area by the pool.The food was horrible-the prime rib was more like pot roast and the doors were open but had a rope across them.When it came time for the fireworks at MK alot of people came rushing at us and were hoping over the ropes but they were bumping into our table.Prince charming was not even very friendly to my dd-she said when he left he is not my boyfriend anymore!It was a big disapointment and I won't be going back anytime soon but it is such a shame cause it used to be great-even before we had kids dh and I would go for the food.Have a great day and stay warm!!

Vickis3js · 01-22-2009, 12:03 PM

Awesome pics! I really wish I had read a review like this of 1900 PF before we went I would have cancelled. We had a horrible time. The food was gross and they put us in what seemed to be the hallway. Which wasn't too bad but when they did the dance we couldn't see and then we had people waiting to get into the other restaurant right there watching us and coming in to snap pics of the characters. I wanted the kids to go see them dance and when I looked back there was people blocking the walkway to see. No big deal others eating the hall wanted to see to. Well NO it was people who were just passing by who wanted to see. It is probably the only place we will never return to.
