    There is a VERY good reason that the Crab Legs have gone off the All-you-can-eat option, they have suddenly become very scarce. To the point that they actually prohibited fishing for them for at least one entire season to try and allow them to recover in the wild. They may be on the verge of becoming a food you will no longer see anywhere at all, let alone as an all-you-can-eat.

      Then I guess they should have lowered their price (instead of raised it) and had other more interesting seafood dishes in its place. But they didn't, which is why everyone says that this place is a no-go for dinner now. However, it is still a great breakfast option to have before going to EPCOT.

      Hey I’ve got some really great news to share with you, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, died on a cross and resurrected on the third day so you may all have eternal life. If you believe and repent of your sins and put your faith and trust in Him as you would a parachute jumping off a plane at 25000 feet up in the air, He will give you eternal life in heaven as a free gift and I promise you, He will change your life forever as He did mine. He is the ONLY way to heaven and He loves you all. Please think deeply about this with urgency because this is your eternal life and soul, you don’t know when you could die, meaning you could die at any moment, so please consider this with all your heart. If anyone tells you that Jesus isn’t the only way, they are lying to you and they don’t care about your future.

    I've only been to Boma, but every time has been really good. The way they handle food allergies is great. They give you a pamphlet with the common food allergies and offer to have the chef come talk to you about less common food allergies and what dishes have those allergens.

      I went to Crystal Palace for lunch. The service was top notch and when my husband missed getting to see eeyore (he got a little sun sick) the manager made sure we got extra time with eeyore before we left. She even met us at the door as we left to make sure we had had enough time with the characters. And yes the food was delish. It didn’t feel like buffet food at all.
      Boma breakfast was indeed a terrific way to start the day. ;)

I think she shows a lot of respect for the fact that everybody doesn't like the same thing. As an adult "picky eater," I especially appreciate her honestly about which restaurants just do not have enough basic non-adventurous food to choose from.

  • @kuyadoug

    My 5 favorites for all you can eat:
    1) Ohana - dinner, although I don’t care for the chicken they have now(no, not the Honey Coriander Wings they’re great). I love the salad with that citrus dressing, and the shrimp also hits the spot.
    2) Cape May Cafe - I love seafood and would love it more if they kept the all you can eat crab legs, but I love the shrimp, mussels and clams along with the other offerings.
    3) Biergarten - like all the food especially was surprised by the great Mac & Cheese. The Apple strudel with vanilla sauce is also a winner. My family of 4 was seated by ourselves on the second tier at a table for 4 this last August.
    4) Liberty Tree Tavern - who doesn’t love Thanksgiving?
    5) Crystal Palace - my kids loved the Winnie the Pooh characters and I enjoyed the food.
    ----
    Notes - glad Garden Grill took off the goldfish on the Mac & Cheese, wish they did it also on the Woodys Roundup BBQ, it was tasteless and not good with it on. Also glad you had Ohana as your number 1 also.

    We had a breakfast reservation at Ohana a few weeks ago, and I was unbelievably disappointed. It was our first time there, and I was so excited that I got a reservation. But, they packed us like sardines so close to all the other tables I felt like I couldn’t move. While our server was very kind, service as far as bringing food and drinks was extraordinarily slow. We felt like we were inconveniencing the staff anytime we asked for something. It was chaotic, and the service was very low quality for the high price

    My only negative about Crystal Palace (we ate there in June) is that we were there over an hour and only saw two characters. It is so large that we would have had to stay another hour to have seen all of them. In fairness, the waiter encouraged that, but there was too much more to do. Happily, the primary reason we wanted to eat there was to see Eeyore. And we did!!! No regrets.

    My daughter and I went to Disney World last week, and we ate at several of these places. I am a big fan of a breakfast buffet. Hollywood and Vine, Tuskers and the Garden Grill did not disappoint! Overall, I found the food at Disney to be good, but not amazing. And every time I ate something, I heard your voice in my head describing it 😂😂😂

    ❤ Crystal Pallace even though buffet all you can eat had the most delicious mac n cheese! Loved The Regal Eagle and Liberty Tavern was our anniversary dinner, food was good service very nice and period authentic, however my ooey gooey cake was not the best, it was a bit too hard/chewy for me so was a bit disappointed as I was looking forward to it. The Round up Rodeo was crowded and felt like we didnt have a very good server. He was kind of rude. Food was good except the sausage... it was very strange, husband agreed. Sci Fi Drive in was "OK" experience was fun, service awesome but expected more. Was stuck in the very back by the kitchen are was overly lit lots of traffic around us and people walking in front of you constantly. I would suggest to be moved if you are there for the actual experience and not just there because you are hungry. The ranta wraps were amazing and of course the candied bacon made me make a return visit to that kiosk. You suggested the spring rolls, we loved them! We had one of each. We went to Pecos and it was the worst, tacos were horrible I think someone accidentally dumped the salt shaker in the meat and just served it anyways, and finding a place to sit was insane! Not sure if I would try that again. We tried so many other things and was not disappointed. I have to give you credit because we watched your videos and used your guides to pre plan what we wanted, You are AMAZING AJ! Thank you!! ❤️ I forgot to mention, hubby and I LOVED Garden Grill. Everything was perfect except when you rotate to the waiting area and people stare at you, I think the greaters should ask people not to stand at the wall .

    Welp, for our first visit to WDW, as we will likely be two people, I suspect due to time & space restraints (along with space in our tums!) we’ll likely skip the AYKE restaurants altogether. Really useful to see these side by side though. If we had more people & more time, we’d likely try one. Tusker House is faintly calling my name… also Garden Grill has always looked like fun. The time & trouble to get to the outside resorts feels like a lot, unless we had more than one day in each park.

    We have made annual trips (with a brief interruption for COVID) since 2014...and 2 of the 3 worst meals we have ever had at WDW were our 2 visits to Chef Mickey's. Bland food, and on our latest visit in 2022, it was like they were trying to rush us out as quickly as possible (and we were there for my daughter's birthday!!!)
    ...and count me as one who disagrees with you about Ohana....breakfast was still excellent, but we also had dinner there this past August, and it is usually a go to favorite. In a word, dinner was terrible. Within 10-15 mins of being seated, all the food except dessert was on our table....the server slowed down to a light jog to refill our drinks....we actually ordered coffee with dessert, just so we could say we sat at our table for at least 60 mins!!!
    The quality of the food is nowhere near what it used to be. My personal fav (the beef) went from nicely sliced pieces cooked and served on skewers....to big hunks of beef dumped on your table in a bowl. The noodles and potstickers are both not as good as before either. Long story short, for us, Ohana dinner went from a #1 must go, to a pass....especially for what it costs.

    Great video! But sorry AJ, I've never been a a big fan of Ohana. The food is fine. I like the noodles, but I don't think they are life altering like a lot of people do. I LOVE the bread pudding. It is worth a trip to the Tambu Lounge to get it! Everything else is fine, but not great, and the atmosphere is very noisy. I have never been a fan of the Polly either, which probably plays into my opinion of Ohana. It is way too busy for my taste, and I can take or leave the theming. It has just never spoken to me. If I was going to go to Ohana it would be for breakfast for the characters and the pineapple bread. :)
    Boma on the other hand..... The food, the atmosphere and beauty of the Animal Kingdom Lodge. Wow!! Love it, love it, love it. The only problem with Boma is that AKL has so many good restaurants its hard to choose between them! My solution - don't. Just visit them all. lol!
    I would also put Tusker House higher on the list and lower any restaurant specializing on Thanksgiving dinner dishes or specializes in large quantities of sausage. Don't get me wrong. I love Thanksgiving and sausage. I just don't like getting loaded up on mashed potatoes and gravy and other heavy dishes then going off into the hot Florida sun to ride attractions. Besides, the characters and theming at Tusker House are all excellent and the food is much more interesting.

    • @mikeymutual5489

      Liberty Tree Tavern is one of the best dining values in the parks, and people really like the food. Biergarden is more than sausages, and you get a very fun show with it. It is an attraction in itself - and a lot more interesting than Disney characters twirling around making you feel awkward.
      Boma is so out of the way (if you are not staying at AKL), that it is a better dinner option than breakfast, unless you are going to Animal Kingdom. But if you are going to AK, you might as well eat at the park at Tusker House.

It's SO much fun, but better with a larger group. Tusker House goes at the very bottom for us....the food wasn't good....even my husband who will eat almost anything didn't enjoy it, the whole place looked dirty to me, and the character interactions were not great. Goofy skipped our table completely and spent 10 minutes at the table next to us with a small child. I get it, little kids are cute and it's designed for them, but I had kids, too (8 and 10) and we paid just as much for our meal. We won't be going back there.
