Dinner at Tonys Town Square
This was a last minute (well, relatively) idea of mine. We were going to the Pirate & Princess Party & had planned to eat in the villa, but I found rewards programs online & had earned more than I had anticipated, so we decided to splurge for another table service meal. Didnt want CRT, werent crazy about LTT, & already ate at CP, so Tonys was left. I was wary reading the mixed reviews, but I have never eaten there, and I remember wanting to when I went on trips with my family when I was younger. Was I disappointed?
NO!
I loved eating here! We will definitely repeat this experience. Part of my infatuation may be Main Street. I love the architecture, the music, the balloons & the happy people coming in to the Magic Kingdom.
We had a very early reservation 4:30. I think that is their first dinner seating. We checked in & waited in the very nice little waiting area. We got there about 5 minutes early, & we waited maybe 7. We were the second party called. The weather was gorgeous that afternoon. Clear sky, sunny & probably mid to upper 60s. I requested a table on the porch at check-in. We were seated in the perfect location for us. Here you can see the wonderful views we had:
I felt absolutely in heavenwarm sunshine shining on me, happy Magic Kingdom, me & my boys. Never mind that it was our last night at Disneyit was pure bliss.
Our server was excellent. Quickly got our drinks & allowed us to place orders for the kiddos. Guess what DS3 had? Yep, pizza. But, did you know you can just order the pizza with no side items for a lower price? Yes, you can. Great! DS7 also selected pizza which he said was very good with the apples (covered in brown sugaryum!). She cheerfully told DH & I that the plate of spaghetti was rather large, so we shared a plate. Perfect! Just like Lady & the Tramp. Speaking of whom, we asked our very nice server if Lady & the Tramp were signing autographs. She happily took our book & returned with it stamped. DS7, aka Autograph Hound, was in heaven.
The bread appetizer was served quickly, and was very good.
The spaghetti followed very quickly on its heels. I would almost say too quickly if it were normal circumstances, but since we didnt want to spend a lot of time eating (more time to play) & DS3 was restless, it was just right. It was literally 3 minutes after getting the bread. The spaghetti was good. Nothing fantastic, but good. Meatballs were good toobut DH & I dont eat meatballs very often, so we are not experts.
During our dinner on the porch the flag retreat ceremony took place. It was very nice to sit on the porch, leisurely eating our meal & watch this. I knew about the ceremony, but it hadnt crossed my mind that it might coincide with dinner. It was a very nice surprise.
The porch was very clean, very quiet & even private despite being on Main Street. We just walked through the main dining room, so I cant really comment on that.
As I said, this is a definite repeat for useven if just for the Main Street atmosphere that I love so muchthat just says Hey, Im at Disney.
