We arrived yesterday, and the kosher meals under the new caterer, Sterling, is an embarrassment. The previous caterer, Weberman, provided generous portions of tasty food. While we missed fresh food, we understood that there were no kosher kitchens, and we were okay with it.
This was off to a bad start with pizza for lunch at AS Movies food court. It consisted of a piece of thin flatbread or other crust, smeared with tomato sauce and covered with a slice of mozzarella cheese. This was placed in a small plastic tray, and per instructions to the chef on the package, microwaved.
Dinner, for which we had pre-ordered brisket, was served in the same size tray, with partitions for peas and carrots and a small piece of potato pudding. The vegetable soup was generous, but tasteless. Pareve (non-dairy) cheesecake was dessert. Had we not been on the DDP, we would have been charged $55/person, same as for the other diners at the Tusker House buffet.
Lunch at Cosmic Rays was two chicken fingers, with corn and two small potato pancakes, in the same size tray. My DH ordered the hot dog, which came in the same tray with two potato pancakes, but no bun.
We had the salmon dinner at Skippers Canteen. I’ve attached a photo. The tray looks larger in the photo than IRL. No soup, but pareve cheesecake for dessert.
For breakfast I had a cheese omelet at ASMovies. This came with potatoes and a side of mushrooms. The eggs did not survive microwaving well. Chef Janess felt sorry for me after I told her about the pizza, and she gave me a kosher ciabatta roll.
I understand the kosher consumer is an infinitesimal minority at WDW, but then all the more reason why it shouldn’t be all that expensive to give us some value for our dining dollars. I know Disney isn’t charging us a premium for kosher, as we see in the real world, but they are charging outrageous sums in general. My husband, who refuses to go on the rides, is having a terrible time.
