Have you ever...

**Nini5055** · 03-13-2009, 12:26 PM

tried eating something or somewhere at WDW that people on various boards go crazy for...and found that it was nothing GREAT...just average?

My experience...the Schoolhouse Bread in Norway. Now, some people (not necessarily on intercot) have created whole threads around the stuff. So I tried it last year (Free dining) and thought that it was an average pastry...nothing out of this world stellar.

However, the CM's working at the Kringalai (sp?) Bakery were absolutely wonderful!!!

I'm almost afraid to say this, but for me it was Dole Whip.

**buzznwoodysmom** · 03-13-2009, 12:42 PM

For me it wasn't a single item, but a restaurant, actually two of them. We thought that both Le Cellier and Boma were just not all that great. We tried Le Cellier twice and while the second time was better than the first we won't be back. We've only tried Boma once so we'll be back there to see if it was maybe an off night.

I agree, it was good but I can continue with or without.

I was so looking forward to the cheddar cheese soup at Le Cellier, but was disappointed with it. I had an ale-based cheese soup in Vermont that was so much better! I thought the soup at Le Cellier was too salty.

I have to agree about the Dole Whip, although it was good, I was expecting something special which it wasn't. We also didn't care for the pastries at Norway or Marrakesh, which were two we heard good things about. Also, we think Casey's is just okay.

**CanadianWDWFan** · 03-13-2009, 01:06 PM

Another vote for Le Cellier. To me it is just an average steak house. Maybe it is us, but we really didn't find the food there to spectacular. When I think "Canadian" food/restaurant, Le Cellier doesn't really come to mind.

Oh and the Dole Whip as well!

Zebra Domes. I had always skipped them because if I'm going to have calories for dessert I'm saving up for ice cream. But our last trip I tried them and they were no big whoop. Sorry everyone!

**mouseketeer mom** · 03-13-2009, 02:08 PM

Schoolbread, Le Cellier, the Fish and Chips in England (soooo greasy!), Zebra Domes ( too jelly like for me, felt really ickey, like gooey eyeballs...)and....the Strawberry Soup at 1900 Park fare. People rave about it. It was just like melted ice cream., except colder. And the color was bizarre.

**DonaldsBFF** · 03-13-2009, 02:29 PM

I would have to second that Boma was not all that good for us. We read great reviews so we tried it on our last trip. Both my DW and I were not impressed. It seemed like a buffet full of side dishes and salads and such. Nothing with any real substance. I wasn't sure if I would like it since I don't do much experimenting with food but I was suprised when my DW said she didn't like it either and she always likes different foods. That being said AKL is a beautiful resort and we were glad we got to see it.

**Disney Doll** · 03-13-2009, 02:35 PM

Yep. Zebra Domes and School Bread for me. I thought both were too rich and disgustingly sweet. I tried them once and that was enough for me.

**Beast_fanatic** · 03-13-2009, 02:35 PM

Tonga toast at Kona Cafe - it was way too much and way too sweet

**DawsonAR** · 03-13-2009, 02:43 PM

Fish and Chips for my family. Just not our thing.

**Tink1** · 03-13-2009, 02:44 PM

I used to LOVE the school bread, but since they changed the recipe it is just 'eh.

Dole whip was one I would not rave over, nor Le Cellier, Boma or Jiko. The fried dough at POFQ is OK, but get better pizza fritta at the local St Rocco's picnic every August. (Not sure what those little old ladies do to it, but I love it!)

In fact, there is very little food wise that I "have to have" when I am there. Popcorn during a parade and a Mickey Bar at some point suffice for me.

Our no-big-whoop items are the turkey legs, and the Tie-Dye Cheesecake at Pop Century. The turkey legs are huge, but just a smoked meat, they smell better than they taste IMO. And the TDC at Pop...it's just cheesecake! Nothing special, IMO. The Twinkie Tiramisu there was a fantastic and unusual dessert, and they scrapped it. Go figure.

My DH will be happy to hear that the Dole Whip made this thread with so many! Fist time he had it, he said, "Ok, it's pineapple soft serve. So what's the biggie?" LOL...

**MistressGracey999** · 03-13-2009, 02:55 PM

One more! A WDW guide book I had read a couple years back raved about the Cookes of Dublin's fish and chips in DTD. Gross! Everything was uber greasy and bland. Not enough malt vinegar and tartar sauce in the world for this stuff. To be fair, though, that's the only time I've ever heard raves about this place, never here on Intercot.

**buzznwoodysmom** · 03-13-2009, 03:09 PM

For everyone who didn't like the dole whip, have you tried the pineapple dole whip float? I've never tried the plain dole whip, but the float is sooo good. Its great on a hot day. I agree with the fish and chips place in Epcot, DH liked it, but I thought it was just nasty. I also didn't like the zebra domes at all, but I didn't really like anything at Boma.

**elmjimmlm** · 03-13-2009, 03:51 PM

I will be the first to say that I don't care for San Angel Inn...I know that people rave about it but it had to be the nastiest place we have been to...

**missalabama** · 03-13-2009, 03:53 PM

I did not care for tonga toast either....just ok to me

**hubbyofadisneyholic** · 03-13-2009, 04:02 PM

I realize this will be considered heresy by many, but we were less than impressed with the Tonga toast.
