Review of Casey's Corner

Casey's Corner is basically a large, indoor, hotdog stand. We ordered a basic Dog, Chilli Cheese Dog and BBQ Slaw Dog along with Ballpark Nacho's. All were good, large amount and all the dogs came with fries. Our billed totaled $43.15. The downside of this is it is very cramped, busy and hectic. The lines were packed with people ordering and trying to navigate through here with a full tray is very difficult. The condiments area is up against the wall with a very small area to set your tray. I witnessed one poor lady spill her entire tray on the floor. Fortunately, the staff here did see it happened and promptly replaced her order. The Corner is a good place to eat but be prepared for typical Disney Crowds inside.

Stopped in at Gaston's late morning during June and ordered 2 LeFou Brew, and Choc. Croissant and a Cinnamon Roll. All were great. The LeFou Brew is almost like a Orange Ice Cream Float which is very refreshing on a 90+ degree day. The Cinnamon Roll was HUGE and had ample amounts of icing and the Croissant was very flaky and loaded with chocolate. Our bill totaled $17.53 and service was prompt even though there were several people waiting. The building itself is a great place just to see, even if not ordering but the Brew is great!

We came here with one thing in mind.....the Kitchen Sink. This is located in the Disney Beach Club Resort, which is about a 5-10 minute walk from the back side of EPCOT, leaving through the entrance to the World Showcase by Canada. Well, mistakes were made.....we just finished our huge meal at the Biergarten and walked here for some ice cream. Once we arrived, we saw the size of the actual "Kitchen Sink" which was HUGE! luckily, they have a smaller version which is the "Mini Kitchen Sink" Still, this is a very large portion of ice cream and all the toppings. My family of 4 shared this with plenty to go around. A bonus of ordering this smaller version is you get to keep the "sink" which has now become my cereal bowl at home. The smaller version has 3 large scoops of ice cream along with everything else you can imagine on top of it. The price is a little steep, after all, it is Disney. The Mini version cost us $24.49 but the experience and seeing a different resort was worth it. Another bonus of going here was that we were planning on going to Hollywood Studios after we were done and we're able to take a boat from that location to HS. I'd recommend going here, but be hungry and like ice cream.

So now for the not so good things. The wait staff was sub-par. After we were seated, it took about 6 or 7 minutes easily for a waitress to arrive. Mind you, the restaurant was very empty at our arrival. After our drink order was taken, it was another 10 minutes for them to arrive and another 20 minutes before our food arrived. Our server just didn't seem real happy to be here. It's a shame, because I probably would give this a better rating if the server would have been more "sociable".

There is only one pricing option now for the Rapid Fill mugs, and that's the length of stay option. Guess they got tired of people paying for one day but using the cups for a week.
Worse was the elimination of the TIW discount. That was something I factored in as a positive when choosing this resort. Please update your menu page so others don't get that same surprise.
Otherwise the food is decent if a little more expensive than I anticipated. And sitting outside enjoying breakfast while watching brazen birds try to negotiate for your food is great. I'm sitting here right now finishing breakfast as I'm writing this.
I still like this food court, and the resort is beautiful too. But I want people to be aware they changed the rules. Hope everybody enjoys their vacations!
Pros:
Theming, selection, central locationCons:

Rare characters met: Meeko, Koda, Kanai, and then of course Chip and Dale. Food selection was great. Arrived 30 minutes early for early morning reservation to see if we could make magic hour at DCA. We were seated immediately, which allowed early entry at DCA after breakfast. Thus, we had a short wait time for Radiator Springs. Character interaction was great!
Pros:
early seating, rare character variety selection on buffetCons:

Disappointed for price paid in the few characters at this dining. Characters were classic Goofy, Minnie, Pluto, Cip and Dale. All of these characters are easily found in the parks. Expected more! Food selection was good;however the chef at carving station presented me what little roast was left that was full of fat. Expected them to at least remove the fat before they placed it on my plate.

Met Ariel, Tiana, Rapunzel, Belle, and jasmine. Missed the classics who are usually there like Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, and Snow White. However, Rapunzel and Ariel were pluses Beaune they are DDS favorites. Steak and eggs were great, but youngest DD didn't care for seasoning of steak. Older DD didn't like that her waffle sat in yogurt for its presentation.
