I'm doing the lazy way out again in part because there were up to six of us at many meals. So other than a couple quick comments, please ask if you have questions about any meals.
We had breakfasts at Kona and 1900 Park Fare. Kona was great as always and 1900 Park Fare was a very pleasant surprise. We hadn't been in many years but I wanted to take DS2 to a character meal. Great variety including lots of fruit. Good service too. Also did takeout from BC Marketplace and Gasparilla's.
Lunches included Grand Floridian Cafe, Brown Derby, Chefs de France, Mama Melrose, the Plaza, RFC at AK, Beaches and Cream and Town Square Tavern in Clelebration. We also had a wonderful private tea at the GF but that has sadly been discontinued. Town Square Tavern in Celebration was the only new one for us. The others are all favorites and didn't disappoint. We had one of our favorite servers, Dori, at Mama's and had a chance to say hi to another, Kevin.
After a very unpleasant experience at the Plaza a couple of trips ago, we were relieved to have the typical pleasant lunch there again. Of particular note was a young man at the podium from the Netherlands, Jean Michel I think. I had his name on a piece of paper but can't find it right now!!! At any rate, he was working the podium at lunch on 1/10. My guys were playing golf after lunch that day and then we had reservations for California Grill at 6:10. They wanted to move it back just a bit to maximize golftime. I thought there was zero chance but asked anyway. He couldn't change it on the computer because of the cc charge. He tried calling CG directly but no one was answering that early. So he took our info and tried another way. He caught us as we left to tell us that he had no luck but that our reservation would be held for 15 minutes anyway. As my guys wanted 6:30 or 6:45, this was awfully close anyway and as it turns out, golf went very fast so I think we were just about on time. But I really appreciated the iniative shown by Jean Michel.
Dinners were at GFCafe, Concourse Steakhouse, V&A, Narcoossee's, Raglan Road,Beaches and Cream, Kona Cafe, California Grill and Artist Point. V&A was as good as always as we celebrated our anniversary. Our son and his wife had prepaid our meal as a gift.
My DH convinced V&A to reverse those charges but we were so touched by their generosity. While we dined there, three of our crew went to Narcoossee's. They felt it had returned to the good old Narcoossee's in both cuisine and service. Unfortunately, the prices are so high that it is off my DH's list now. Again our son and his wife treated. Can you tell I'm proud of them?
California Grill was great. We all really enjoy that restaurant with the exception of our daughter who had only wanted to join us for dessert. She changed her mind and is now a fan as well. She had the pork tenderloin with polenta and couldn't believe how good it was.
Well, I've gone on longer than I meant to do but ask if you have any questions.

His steak was just OK. She did have a wonderful smoothie and I guess service was Disney fine as I heard no complaints about that. 
But I'm glad she joins the rest of us in considering it a must do for our family.
