We had a 4:30 p.m. Fantasmic dinner PS at the Brown Derby (at Disney-MGM Studios). Background:
My Mom (50s) likes practically everything but is the best at knowing whats good and what isnt. Favorites are Italian and seafood.
My dad (50s) extremely picky! Favorites are Barbecue, Italian and seafood.
Myself (30) - always told I was a picky eater but compared to my dad, Im not! Favorites are Asian food and seafood.
My daughter (5-1/2) doesnt like traditional kids foods like mac and cheese, etc. Has developed a gourmet taste already! Favorites are pasta, crab legs, salmon and ribs.
We are all major dessert lovers.
Our rating system is yucky, so-so, good, very good, and excellent.
With the Fantasmic dinner package, each person pays a set price and gets an appetizer, entrée, and dessert.
The Cobb salad counts as 2 appetizers, so my mom and I shared it. It was excellent, just like we remembered from 3 years ago.
I ordered the salmon, which was very good.
My mom ordered the grouper and said it was excellent.
My dad ordered the crab cake as his appetizer and rated it excellent. (He had crab cakes at other restaurants on our 2-week vacation but this was the only excellent rating.) As his entrée, he ordered the filet and called it good.
My daughter ordered the Salad and Grilled Chicken Breast served with roasted red potatoes and fresh vegetables, both from the kids menu. She said the salad was good and the chicken was very good. I have the kids menu if anyone is interested in details.
For desserts, we all shared, but I ordered the Grapefruit Cake because I had heard so much about it from this website. It was excellent as far as cakes go, but I couldnt detect any grapefruit flavor at all! But it was a very good, moist white cake. My Mom ordered the Bananas Foster Mascarpone Cheesecake which was also excellent. My Dad ordered the Hazelnut Praline Crème Brulee. He didnt like it but my mom and I thought it was excellent. Brooke ordered an ice cream sundae and also declared it excellent!
We will definitely eat at the Brown Derby again on our next trip to WDW.
