What: Lunch: Rotisseri Chicken $9.99, Soda $2.49, Key Lime Pie $3.49

Approximate Price of Entrees: $17.11 with tax (Counter Service Dining Plan)

Rate the following (1-5, five being the best!)

Food: 5
Service: Typical counter service - all cast members were very friendly

Atmosphere: 5

Okay for Children: Yes - Plenty of stuff going on all around due to the amount of people in the area. Great selection of food items that will fit everyone's taste.
Okay for Couples: Yes - not the most romantic spot but converstations could easily be heard. .

Be Sure to Try: Chicken - TONS of meat and very tender.

General tips: Like all counter services, you will want to be there around 11:30 to eat since it will fill up fast by noon. ***** before selecting what you want to eat, walk all the food stations. You might find something else that you would have liked better.

TheMouseForLess tips: Best value for counter service if using the dining plan in Epcot.

Extra Comments: Best value for counter service if using the dining plan in Epcot.

 


Who: Nancy from Toronto

Where: Sunshine Seasons Food (Land Pavillion, Epcot)

When: December, 2007

What: Lunch. Vegetable sandwhich was pretty good but I ate it 3 times in one week. There is not much vegan options. Fruit tart, chocolate cake, carrot cake.

Approximate Price of Entrees: $25 for two people

Rate the following (1-5, five being the best!)

Food: 3
Service: 3 had sparkles in my hair & one of the wait staff asked me if it was raining outside? how rude

Atmosphere: too crowded, the food court is too close to Soarin', the Land ride. At times the queue's where all over the place you would be bumping into people just walking

Okay for Children: Ok for children if they like staple item's P &B, chicken.
Okay for Couples: Yes. I did see a few couples eating.

Be Sure to Try: The fruit tart but it's $4.00 each so use a snack option if you can on the dining plan

General tips: Eat later in the day or early. Once the land is full of people for the rides it's packed!

TheMouseForLess tips: If you are not very hungry buy a child's meal otherwise share a sandwhich they are pretty big. Or use a counter service option of the dining plan.

Extra Comments: If you are a vegetarian stay close to the counter as people will often just come up & take the sandwhichs while you are waiting for them to come out of the oven. They don't keep the kitchen fully stocked as I spent 15 mins waiting for one. The Land gets very busy that's all I can say.

 


Who: The Pelton Family -- me, DD11, DD8

Where: Sunshine Seasons Food (Land Pavillion, Epcot)

When: Jan 8 2007

What: Lunch

Approximate Price of Entrees: $30.60 total for a family of 3

Rate the following (1-5, five being the best!)

Food: 3
Service: 4
Atmosphere: 3
Okay for Children: Yes
Okay for Couples: Yes, but it's a cafeteria really.
Be Sure to Try: Nothing we had was over-the-top great. The vegetable sandwich was pretty good.

General tips: Although there is a fair bit of selection, it was difficult to find a lot of choice for our two vegetarians. They both ended up with the vegetable sandwich, but picked out the stuff they didn't like (eggplant, for example).

TheMouseForLess tips: n/a

Extra Comments: It was OK for a quick meal. Pretty noisy, being in the middle of the Land Pavillion.

Okay for Couples: Yes
Be Sure to Try: there is a good Chinese food selection, which is a nice break from your everyday burger.

Extra Comments: They have a wonderful selections of desserts.

Rate the following (1-5, five being the best!)
