Just be glad it’s not Golden Corral...
Hey that’s actually a pretty good slogan for them. I think I’ll tweet them with it.

Nothing says a quality meal like a cotton candy machine next to a chocolate fountain !!

Do really believe any one's response to anything is unbiased? I did note that in a number of cases they provide information that can
help you make a decision. On the opposite end of the scale from your nachos review they noted in a recent video that Chef Mickey's for a number of reasons is not really worth it.

I've seen enough Disney Food Blog videos to know that AJ doesn't love everything at Disney World and although she rarely reviews food as truly bad, she does give plenty of unsatisfactory reviews. I've also seen enough to know that she has some peculiar tastes that I don't share, such as her admitted love of "plastic cheese", and her general preference for things sweeter and softer than I would prefer. But she's at least being consistent within her personal biases, and that does provide a useful framework for me to know what to try.

Sorry, but our food delivery systems are not set up across the country to supply food prepared according to various belief systems. I wouldnt expect to go into any food establishment in Haifa and be able to order pigs feet in milk gravy.

You keep referring to this one video. Meanwhile their most recent review encourages guests to try it. They are a marketing arm of WDW. It's not a bad thing, but people should know that going in.

Le Celier was disappointing me the last two times I ate there

That's silly. They obviously can supply Kosher meals, and do. They just don't have very many options. Probably because of the low demand. It is a shame that they can not order in more options with advanced notice. Maybe supply a catalog and make it pre-pay, like the dining plan. I can imagine a long trip with the same couple of food options gets old.

Well if you are talking Value Resorts, I found the food at the cafeteria style at All Star Movies to be blah, and we avoided eating there unless we had to as last resort, I guess Pun intended. Most of the Quick Service places we never fully had a decent meal. Many of the Table Service places were just fine for a meal. It does depend on where you eat and at what time.

Each time I have come to WDW I go to Epcot, to the Japan pavilion and get a combination meal, (beef & chicken), that years ago
was called the Shogun special. It was truly worth getting both from a price standpoint, as well as, taste. I usually get the meal after
dark and sitting outside even offers a very nice atmosphere.

I noticed you didn't answer the question.

Sorry, but they even mention, in the video I have been referring to, that they had previously "endorsed" Chef Mickey's. They noted that
not all dining experiences are going to be the same for everyone and that there are reasons such as seeing the "Fab Five" for the kids, but also noted the quality of food and the cost were not worth it. I know DFB leans more to the positive of WDW, but at the same time they
do provide some useful information.

You're not alone. Disney's food is atrocious anymore. Overpriced and underwhelming. I just had my last meal ever on property there Saturday night. Olivia's, which I used to think was good, was horrible. Appetizers, 1 crap cake and one cup of seafood stew, both around $13 each, neither worth more than 8 anywhere else. Wife had 5 small scallops for on a little dab of polenta(?) for$27 and they weren't that good. I had the shrimp pasta, $24 that tastes exactly like the packet I get at the supermarket for $1 and then add about $3 worth of shrimp. The only thing I could say about the meal was that it was edible. So 2 average at best meals and 2 horrible blood orange margaritas comes to almost $100 and that's with the DVC discount. The value is just horrible anymore. Me and my wife both agreed, that's it. No more meals on property. Plenty of places off property that are glad to take your money and not rob you.

Oh, I wasn't complaining about my limited options. I'm happy to have them at all. I was saying that I'm less bothered by the reported lower quality of taste since much of the regular Disney food is said on this thread to be lower quality too.
I saw what seems to be pure orange juice on Oga's menu. If they really offer it, that works for me.

I know you were not complaining. I was quoting networkpro and his statement about how food production can't put out Kosher food. That is obviously not true. I do not eat Kosher, but I feel for those who do and have limited options at WDW. I would think that there should be enough demand for them to have some kind of a separate kitchen on property to make more Kosher options. Have a great trip.

I didnt say cant, I implied won't until there is sufficient demand to maintain stocks of fresh hashgacha ingredients and the necessary separation of dish preparation since you cant mix and match.

My initial $200-600 meal for 2 diners comment was never intended to cause so much head scratching! Rather, I used it to show that my own $100 sit-down dining experiences at Disney were not that far off of average restaurant experiences. In other words, I wouldn't expect fine dining for the price, especially at a theme park.
In my examples, sit down meals fit the average formula: an appetizer or salad starter, entree, possibly dessert, and maybe a cocktail or glass of wine. No shots on the table or bottles of wine to ratchet up the price. Of course any meal is going to have additional tax and tip charges. For me the tip is generally 20-25%, usually at the higher end at nicer restaurants where more staff contributes to my experience and that tip has to be shared among many. There is another topic about skipping out on tips... I find that horrible.
