I love the Mardi Gras theme to this resort! We have stayed at POR twice and this was our first time at POFQ and personally I like POFQ better!

When you first walk into the cafeteria you are greeted with colorful masks and float pieces that look like they came straight off of the Mardi Gras parade floats.

Isn't it cute?! I just love how colorful and bright it is!

I was anxious to sink my teeth into some Disney food so we hurried over the food counters.

The set up is cute but my mom commented that people who usually have most of their meals at their resort cafeteria wouldn't want to stay here because the cafeteria is small and there are limited food choices. My family usually just eats breakfast and maybe lunch/dinner once or twice at the resort so we didn't mind.

For lunch I chose the Muffaletta Sandwich. It had ham, salami and provolone cheese with a sort of spaghetti sauce in the middle. It was good but around the crust it was greasy. I chose the pasta salad which was very good but with adult sandwiches you can also choose chips instead of the salad. To finish my lunch I had the Mickey head sprinkle sugar cookie. It was good and very big!

My DM had the Cheese Steak Sandwich. She enjoyed it but said it was very messy! The fries were very good though! (one of the perks of having a dis board mom and writing a dining review was that I got a bite of everyone's food!) For dessert she had the Carrot Cake. We all agreed that this was very good!

My DD had the Cheese Steak Sandwich and fries as well. He said his was kind of greasy but he still liked it. For dessert he had the Cheesecake. This cheesecake was a little different from what we are used to. Usually cheesecake has a graham cracker crust and my dad expected the crust to be at the bottom but at the bottom there was only a bite of graham cracker. He still liked it but it would have been better with the crust.

Out of Pocket our lunch would have cost: $46
Disney Dining Plan: 3 Counter Service Meals
Grade: B
Comment: It was good but it was just like any other counter service place.

After lunch we went to the Animal Kingdom. Every day we were in Disney the weather was 90+ degrees! We are from Michigan where lately it has been in the 60s! So after walking around for a few hours it was time for a cold snack!

I found this stand in Africa near Kilimanjaro Safaris right in the middle of the village.

I didn't feel like a Mickey ice cream so I went for something different

This is the most amazing popsicle in the world!!!

A pic of it out of the wrapper

It is frozen pineapple juice with chunks of pineapple in it! It tasted fresh and sweet and when it dripped from the heat it didn't leave me all sticky :lmao::thumbsup2! My whole family loved this! If you are a Dole Whip fan you need to try this when you go to Disney next! They sell it at every ice cream cart so they are easy to find.

OOP: 2.75
DDP: 1 snack credit
Grade: A+++++++++++
Comment: I am drooling now just thinking about it ;):lmao:
