This was our last full day in the parks. 
We started with a late breakfast - brunch really, at
CHEF MICKEY'S
This is always a must do for us. DS7 could eat his weight in bacon, so he loves it here!
This was our 4th year in a row going, and I must say they have made some positive changes.
1)The seating in the waiting area is much larger, but the wait was much shorter.
2)They have moved the picture area over to the right side so it is out of the way. They also changed the picture some. I think the big plate is gone. I can't really remember right now. I'll check our pictures and let you know for sure.
3)This was the first year that they had a CM in charge of making sure the characters made it to every table in a timely manner - AND when you were actually there. It was the best ever!!!!! We were in and out much faster than past years because we saw all the characters without long waits. Goofy even came by three times, because we were not all at the table the first two.
We really enjoy the food here. It's nothing exotic, just good hearty breakfast food. Our favorites are the Mickey waffles, bacon, pastrys, fresh fruit.... actually, I think we like it all!

Great reviews! Thanks so much to going to all the trouble of taking pictures of all your meals! I'm really excited about Tusker House, Crystal Palace and Chef Mickeys now!

Are you going for breakfast? We've been 4 years in a row now and loved it every time. We always eat around 10:30. It gives us a day to sleep in OR run to Space Mtn at rope drop - we've done both. Then we are full until dinner time.
I hope you love them all! Tusker House was our favorite, but all three were good.
They are cheese blints. I tried them a couple of years ago and didn't like them, so I didn't try these. They look good. Did you notice the "hidden Mickey's" in the second one from the bottom? I see two!Hey what are those egg roll looking things? crepes? cheese blints?

TUTTO ITALIA
We are big fans of Tutto Italia, so we were excited to have this as our last Disney TS meal. We arrived a few minutes late but were seated right away. They brought out the veggies and bread soon after we were seated. We were so hungry I forgot to take pictures - sorry.
This is the one place that they really worried about DS's cashew allergy. They made a big deal out of it. They brought him a "safe" plate of bread - which was great because he eats a TON of bread, and we didn't have to share.
They sent over a special CM in charge of allergies to talk to us and make recommendations. We mis-remembered and thought he has spaghetti and meatballs last year, so we went against the suggestions and ordered that. Well, the CM came back with a witness and has us repeat our order. THEN the manager came over a few minutes later because he was very concerned. (BUT - he got the wrong allergy info. They had told him GARLIC. 
There is no way I would have taken him to an Italian restaurant with a garlic allergy. )
Anyway, I think all the fuss kind of freaked DS out. He ended up not eating very much of his food at all.
DH and I tasted the boys' food, and we loved it - but both boys didn't like it at all. I think next year we will probably order the pizza or chicken for them. AND DH and I will order the spaghetti and meatballs. It was fantastic!
Oh I almost forgot!!!!!
Kids get a REAL appetizer here.
Both of them had the Mozzarella Sticks. Once again, I forgot the picture at first. I cut them in half to cool them and ate one 
before this picture. They actually got 4 each.
They were really good! It actually probably explains why they didn't eat their entree. They were full of cheese and bread!
DH and I both had the Lasagna (with meat ragu, bechamel and parmesan). This was also fantastic! The cheese was very creamy and smooth. When I realized that there was no way I could finish it, I pressed down on the noodles to squeeze out more of that buttery cheese.
So yummy!
This is a HUGE portion. I had no problem finishing all of the other meals we had during the trip, but I couldn't finish but half of this one. And not because I didn't want to! Believe me, I tried.
Here is a picture of what I sadly had to leave behind.
DH's (real) birthday was the next day, so we celebrated.
This was by far the best birthday place of the week. They came out and sang in Italian and brought him and extra piece of cake.
We weren't sure what it was, so we took a picture of the dessert menu. We are pretty sure is was Gianduja - Chocolate Torta (chocolate and hazelnut torte with whipped cream and raspberry sauce).
He also had a Mocha Tiramisu (mascarpone cheese, espresso coffee, savoiardi biscuits and chocolate).
Since he finished BOTH of them without sharing, I can't say which was better. I think you should do what he did and have BOTH!!
I finished off with the Copetta Sottobosco (berries, zabaglione cream gelato and chocolate sauce). I adore this dessert and refuse to order anything else.
The boys had Italian Sorbetti (lemon) and Gelati (vanilla). The one with the cookies is the lemon sorbetti. DS couldn't have the cookies because of his allergy, so his gelati came out plain.
This meal was a fantastic use of the DDP. The total cost was $142.28.
We will be back next year!!!

After not eating much of his dinner, DS9 was hungry a few hours later. So we made a stop at Fife and Drum Tavern over in America.
We ordered popcorn and a turkey leg. The CM made an extra ice cream by mistake and gave it to us free.
I only have a picture of the turkey leg, and it doesn't really look that great - but it was actually pretty good. It was very juicy and salty. It was also HUGE. He didn't even eat half of that thing. We all had a taste since we had never tried one before. Not really something I'd order again, but it was better than I expected. The boys loved it.

Columbia Harbor House Very good CS. Love the tuna.

Wow...it's over already? I've enjoyed all of your reviews so much! Tutto looks positively yummy!! I'm like your kids... give me the bread and fried cheese and I'd be all set too!
Ain't that the truth?
Love that you were able to re-affirm old favorites and find some new ones. Thanks again for sharing!!

I always get the School Bread to have for breakfast the next morning as well...it's so good!
Tutto sounds great, it's one place that we have not tried yet and sadly not on our list for September either. I suppose one time we will get there, the Lasagna looks very good.

Hidden Mickey's? Where?
The pictures of the school bread don't look that exciting but everyone seems to love it so I'm gonna have to try it while I'm there.
I'm sad that you're done with the food reviews.
I've enjoyed reading them.
