We like AP just as much if not more than the other MDRs. The tenderloin with wasabi mashed potatoes is good, been a favorite since our very first cruise. The Crush interaction is fun to watch. On our first ladies cruise Crush talked to me. You should've seen his face when he asked who I was there with. "27 ladies, no men or kids. We left them all at home." His jaw dropped. Silence & disbelief. It was such a hysterical interaction.
My guys go nutty for the French onion soup in Royal Court. They always put in special orders asking for it to be made or brought over to them regardless of what dining room we're in every night.
I forget which restaurant it is but the truffle pursettes are really, really divine. I try not to order them because they're dangerous. But so amazing.
On the pirate menu they have pot stickers & this pineapple spear dish for appetizers. I always mess up & order the potstickers then get aggravated because they don't have the dark sauce I'm used to getting with them at my favorite Chinese takeout at home. The pineapple spear dish is so good. I love that one.
We won't have the Frozen menu on the Dream but it debuted on our WBPC. I can't not tell you about this! One of the appetizers was a meat & cheese plate of some sort. I kid you not, one of the meats was straight up potted meat! I know that taste! My super-country-fied relatives used to feed it to us. No lie, I took a pic since I got home, you can buy a can of that crap at Walmart for like $.30. I was rather shocked to see it served anywhere other than at a campsite. LOL! Then I sat there giggling at the notion. It just struck me funny, I guess.
I know I don't talk too fondly of the MDRs as a whole. You know my food issues already. I get bored sitting there. And I don't like the repetitiveness after sailing with Disney so much. I've started inventing my own dishes. I'll ask for 2 of the salads for the evening + a lighter note steak cooked medium. I cut up the steak, dump it on the double salad, and voila. Made up my own dinner. I also hate & despise their dinner rolls. You could hurt somebody with those rocks. We took to cracking them open & digging out the soft innards. Disney seriously could use some lessons in bread baking. And when you serve bread the butter should be soft, not fresh out of the fridge. It doesn't spread when it's hard. We would rub the unopened butter packets in our hands before attempting to use them. LOL! My only other complaint would be the desserts. I do not like the majority of the desserts anywhere on the ship. They mostly have this reoccurring textural theme, gelatinous-themed creations like how flan is. Or cheesecake. Or pudding. The soufflés people go insane about are okay but, again, the texture throws me. Even when they attempt cakes, the frosting is gel-like and ruins it. My raging sweet tooth has no issues with control on Disney cruises. I won't hardly touch a dessert. Even if I'm tempted enough to take a bite, a bite is all it takes to go right back to "Nope."
