Review of Chefs de France - Lunch/Dinner
Reviewed by FridaysField Review Date: 07/29/2013

The third time we have visited Chefs de France and it never disappoints. Daughter (15) had the French onion soup which she said was amazing. I usually go for the Duck but decided on the scallop and shrimp in lemon broth this time around and it was a great choice. The lemon flavour was a little like lemongrass which gave the dish a Thai feel without the heat - I would recommend this highly. DD had beef rib which she said just melted in her mouth, DS (12) and DW had beef in peppercorn sauce which they both loved. Desserts were good ( fruit sorbet, profiteroles, strawberry cake) but it is the entrees that make this place so good. This place remains in top 5 of my favourite Disney restaurants and is fantastic value on the Dining Plan.

We used magical express in June 2013. Generally it was hassle free and a great way to get to and from the airport. The only trouble we had was with the delivery of our bags upon our arrival. We checked into the resort about 6pm and it was after 10pm when we finally received the bags. We had been told they would be delivered within 3 hours and it was more than 4 hours for us. It didn't greatly affect our trip, but it did slow down the settling in on our first night.

We had a group of twelve in June 2013. The food was good and plentiful. The service was average Disney service, but didn't blow me away. The performers were great. Although it wasn't major, the improv ability based on the audience was perfect. Our group ranged in age from 2 to 70+ and everyone enjoyed the show.
The photopass photographer's camera wasn't working before our show, but they did invite us back after the show. We were able to get our picture within 15 minutes of it being taken.
Pros:
Enjoyable family showCons:

We stayed here for 6 nights in June 2013. We had three different rooms for our travel group. We all had lake view, but we could all see Magic Kingdom from our balconies. The rooms were clean, fresh and looked well maintained. The CMs were friendly and helpful.
I didn't love sharing a bus with Polynesian and Grand Floridian. We had a few wheelchairs in our travel party and because of the bus sharing, we had to wait for another bus when there was generally room on the bus for some of our party, but not for those in wheelchairs.

My husband and sons do this every year and always enjoy it. They always catch a lot of fish and it is cool to fish in the world showcase.

This is a pricey one, but we really enjoyed it. I thought the view from the boat was awesome. Our captain was funny and pleasant. It was raining a bit during the cruise, but still fun.

My husband and son both did the drive along experience. They both loved it! I was concerned since they were not driving, I thought they would think it was boring (they got a gift card for their birthdays). This was so not the case. They both raved about it. I know they want to go back someday.

I can't say enough good things about this experience. The guides (Shane and Krista) were outstanding...funny and informative. I loved the pictures that we received after the event...they were beautiful. Much better than we could ever hope to do and still enjoy what we were doing. It is pricey, but so worth it. I am so glad we decided to do this.

We love Chef Mickey's. It is the best breakfast buffet in Disney (our opinion). The food is always good and fresh and plentiful. Always lots of Mickey waffles!
