Discamper 394 Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 I fell that the quality of the food at Disney has gone way way down hill. You pay a lot of money for sub grade food. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
doodlebug....Cherie 461 Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 I definitely agree, we rarely eat on property anymore. :'( Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CCIntrigue...aka Gwen 547 Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 I agree too. When we eat on property, it's usually just for convenience. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mouseketab.....Carol 1,261 Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 We still feel that some of the nicer sit down restaurants are worth it.We have Tables in Wonderland and get 20% off.We get appetizers and share entrees.It still works for us. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SCTigerCock 171 Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 Agree. The same food or slight veriations seems to be served at most locations. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BouncingTiggers 98 Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 We have only really been going consistantly since 2003, but I don't have a problem with the food. I read complaints a lot regarding their food. If they have low quality food now what was it like before? When did it change? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheLug 10 Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 Cheap food seems far worse. Average price food is worse but not as bad as the cheap placesThe nicer sit-down places I still LOVE. Ohana, seafood buffet @ beach club, Boma. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ftwildernessguy 778 Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 I noticed a steady decline after Disney started the free dining. Maybe it was just a coincidence. I still like some places, but there definitely is a drop in variety and specialty items. AuburnJen 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo..Karla 77 Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 I'd have to agree, but we only eat in the parks for convenience.On this trip we've really noticed a decline in the kids meals from our last trip in February.Pizza has been either under/over cooked, chicken nuggets dried out (like freezer burned), bagged carrots dried out, bagged grapes mushy. However, the chocolate chip cookies are very good.We've been on the boat to MK a lot this trip. Many times (at least six) we've overheard conversations about dinner at TE and HDD and how they would never eat here again. I have nothing to compare to since I won't eat off metal plates and have never had dinner at TE. Our take-out GAG was very good with the exception of the fries which were just nasty. I wish they could give you potato salad instead of fries.Tri-B Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Roller ... aka Ed 351 Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 "Free Dining" (which is FAR from 'free') has definitely had an impact from my point of view. Smaller portions; lower quality; even the servers don't seem to have as much magic. There are exceptions, but they are few and far between ... AuburnJen 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Otter Spotter aka Debbie 58 Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 You're just now realizing this? I've crabbed about this since the inception of the dining plans. AuburnJen 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ftwildernessguy 778 Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 I have noticed a change in the disposition of my server when they ask if I am using the dining plan and I respond "Hell NO!!!!" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Farmman 1 Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 It is now just very over priced gas station food Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LONE-STAR 370 Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 Some food is worse but I really like the lunch at trails end the chile burger is very good. Liberty tree tavern is very good, great burger. Columbia harbor house has great clam chowder. School bread in Norway is great and we can't forget the carrot cake cookie at The writers shop a DHS.

LONE-STAR 370 Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 And I almost forgot that the Fort has the best fried chicken. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sensei 18 Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 I never have been a fan of Disney food. When we go to the MK, I will only eat at the Columbia Harbor House. I like their fish and chips. I still haven't found a decent place to eat at AK. At Epcot, I go to either the China area and one of the small sit-down restaurants, or to Mexico. For anything else, I go back to the Fort where I have my own food. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Roller ... aka Ed 351 Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 Flame Tree BBQ at AK isn't bad; Yak & Yeti is good too ... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
doodlebug....Cherie 461 Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 Flame Tree BBQ at AK isn't bad; Yak & Yeti is good too ...Yes, Ed but I can eat not bad and ok food at my campsite a whole lot cheaper. I remember when you could go to a different fast food place and have choices that were only available at that spot. Now no matter where you stop it's all the same and all tasteless. It's getting to be that way at more and moe of the Table seervice restaurants too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Roller ... aka Ed 351 Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 Yak & Yeti is fairly unique in the sit down side. Yes, you can get BBQ at a lot of places, but the sauce at Flame Tree is a little different than elsewhere at WDW. Sensei said, "I still haven't found a decent place to eat at AK." I think both are better than 'decent'- but my cooking is better. There are few restaurants I would rate better than my cooking - especially at Disney. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The survivors won't ask me to cook again >:D Quote Link to post Share on other sites
campingpixi 11 Posted May 28, 2011 Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 I like the dining plan cause it helps avoid the wallet shock of the food costs when you get there and paying for food before I arrive is a plus cause it leaves more money to buy disney stuff!! Food quality plays a part but not much I figure as long as im not cooking it im happy!! LOL Quote Link to post Share on other sites
