I will add another day to this same thread, as I get time to write them out.
Day 1-9/16/06-Arrival Day
CS Lunch @ Everything Pop Food Court-DS10 and myself
Got there about 12:30 p.m. Not very crowded at all. We both got the meatball subs, fries and soda. We weren't in the mood for a dessert, since we munched on donuts on the drive up. We thought when we first got them, they wouldn't be too filling, but after getting through the sandwiches and fries, we were stuffed. They actually were fairly good, tasty and filling.
TS Dinner @ Spoodle's-DS10 and myself. We arrived about 45 minutes early to Boardwalk so we could see what the wait time would be for ESPN Club. When we checked with ESPN they said they really couldn't state how long of a wait due to the couple of college games going on. We looked at the lake for a bit. We decided we would go ahead and let Spoodle's know, we were there, on the off chance we could get in early.
There was only one group checking in at the podium when we walked in at 6:00 p.m. (ADR was 6:30 p.m.). We checked in, hostess told us it would probably be closer to the actual ADR time, and gave us the "pager". We walked through the candy shop outside. The pager went off. We had a great sever, Alison. We was very upfront with my son, on what she thought he may like, how the food was prepared etc. He's the basic hamburgers, hot dogs, nuggets type kid, but he was so willing to give it a shot.
DS10- Appetizer-the 4 cheese flatbread. He just went nuts over this, he was so impressed he asked for a box, so that he could take some back to his older brother (who was dining in Epcot) to let him taste it.
Entree-the Oak-fired NY strip steak. He ordered it medium well, but it was still a little too pink for him, so he asked Alison to please throw it on the grill for a few more minutes. When he got it back, it was perfect for him. He was so highly impressed with this, he asked Alison to give his compliments to the Chef. He allowed me a few bites, and I had to agree, it was great. One of the better steaks I have ever had.
Dessert-Chocolate Apricot Pistachio Cake He enjoyed it, but was so full he couldn't finish it. So he asked ALison for another box, to take back to the room to eat later.
********************************
Myself-Appetizer-Garlic Shrimp-Very good. If I could had ordered these as my entree, I would be extremely pleased.
Entree-Oak fired Salmon-was extrememly tasty, not overly fishey, but after tasting son's steak, I do wish I would had ordered that instead. But there are no complaints from me on the meal itself.
Dessert-Make it yourself Sundae-I'm not a big dessert person, and so I thought I would play it safe and order this. I loved the artist palette it was brought out on. My DS thought that was clever, and helped me create my masterpiece of ice cream.
***********************
Over all the places we dined that week, Spoodle's was to me, the best quality of food we had. And our server was awesome. She took her time to talk to my son, brought us to go boxes for our left overs. We never felt rushed or like she was trying to move us out.
Matter of fact, after getting the appetizer's, the dining room was about 1/4 empty, and remained that way for the entire meal. We will highly consider returning there.

Stayed tuned for Day 2 Dining-coming soon.
