It would be hard to imagine any place with a greater variety of restaurants and cuisines than Disney/greater Orlando. The hordes of international visitors and Disney's own commitment to a global perspective guarantee this. Of course, everything is Americanized or Disneyfied. But you can find pretty much everything. We self-catered much of the time, as is our want, but also ate out a good bit. Below is a sampling...
 |
We ate twice at Steakhouse 71 in the Contemporary Resort |
 |
Best chocolate cake--best cake--ever; thanks, Carole; feeds four |
 |
Peking duck at Morimoto's in Disney Springs |
 |
A Mickey pretzel |
 |
Mickey beignets from the Port Orleans resort |
 |
Extremely decadent banana split at Ghiradelli's in Disney Springs... one of several over our time here |
 |
Unusual Dole whip at Animal Kingdom |
 |
More Ghiradelli's |
 |
Steak pizzaola...first time I've made it since Columbus |
 |
Soft-shelled crab slider from EPCOT |
 |
Poutine, from Canada and EPCOT |
 |
You saw it first here department: shrimp and grits tom yum...my own creation...what else are you going to do with leftover tom yum sauce?...thanks especially to Jason's Best Asian Market in Kissimmee |
 |
Interior of the ever-popular Gideon's in Disney Springs |
 |
Vicki nibbling on a 1200 calorie Gideon's chocolate key lime cookie |
 |
My own bouillabaise...shrimp, clams, mussels... |
 |
A creme brulee croissant from Gaston's in the Magic Kingdom; feeds four |
 |
We had to go back to Morimoto's a 2nd time...always makes me think of the Mr. Moto movies...the famous Japanese spy/sleuth series, starring the Hungarian Peter Lorre...popular B-movies until Japan's atrocities in China became better known |
 |
Among the best Beijing ducks we've had, including China |
 |
Perhaps not the origin of the expression, but...this restaurant has its ducks in a row |
