Resort Hopping QS style
Mon, 07/13/2015 - 13:49
Everything POP (POP!)- I am kind of biased since this is my favorite resort, but I love the Pop! waffles (especially since they are GF and still yummy)
Captain Cook's (Poly)- I like taking the monorail to the Poly. It is so beautiful there plus Dole Whips!
The Mara (AKL)- I love the atmosphere (especially the seating outside) I love the flatbreads that they serve there.
Those are the only resort QS places I have eaten other than AoA, which is also really good, but pretty much just Pop with a different design scheme. We do typically walk over to AoA for breakfast at least one time during our trip just for something a bit different.

I agree with POP and Cook's. I've never been to Mara. Cooks was outstanding! The flatbread and nachos were delicious.
We also enjoyed everything we had at POP when we stayed there last year.

Take the boat from DTD to POR. Lots of choices, but the make your own pasta is really good, and a lot of food. I also noticed they have a GF option.
Then stroll along the river to POFQ and enjoy beignets, also with a GF option.

PORS - create your own pasta and generally good selection/ available seating.
Roaring Forks @ Wilderness - Flatbread Pizzas like Pinnochios Village Haus but better quality (we've only had them once, but they were really good...or maybe I was just really hungry).
I thought that Contempo Cafe was decent for breakfast. I think they had bananas and caramel for the mickey waffles. I hate breakfast food, but I enjoyed my meal there.
Aaaannnd I just realized that we hardly ever get quick service at the resorts...

From what I've heard:
Landscape of Flavors-By far, the most superior food court in WDW I've ever seen, food wise. A lot of varied choices from build your own burgers to tandoori chicken.
Mara-Good variety of choices and not typical American food. Their pita sandwiches look good but the African stew is to die for and looks very appetizing!
Roaring Forks-Another better QS place from what I've heard. They have a really nice roast beef and bleu cheese sandwich.
Captain Cooks-A lot of variety. People really seem to like the pulled pork nachos and you can get Tonga Toast for breakfast for a cheaper price than you would over at Kona Cafe.
Everything Pop-I'm partial to Pop being that I've stayed there but their tie-dye cheesecake is so succulent!

The only one I can recommend is Roaring Forks because that's the only resort QS I've experienced. But it is faboo!
I've heard great things about Hurricane Hanna's at the Beach/Yacht Club too. The Vegetarian Quinoa Wrap is reported to be extra delicious.

I must have been missing something here at WL last year..I thought the pizza was awful, and wasn't really that impressed with other stuff we tried in our 12 night vacation ..Well apart from the magic cookie bar..I must investigate further next year..lol..

I'm not sure I have a top 5, but here are my top 2!
Captain Cooks at the Polynesian - Pulled Pork Nachos, OMG so good. Also now has the beautiful patio area next to Trader Sams. If you go after 4pm you can order cocktails from there.
Artists Palate at Saratoga Springs - Cheeseburger Flatbread, full of awesome.
