Disney Eats

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
