The final tally on the "quest for food"
visit every restaurant on Dinsey property. And over the next 18
months, we made a tremendous effort, heading over to the park
regularly and doing some serious eating.
How did we do? Well there were 121 (and a half) restaurants on
property at the time, and we went to an astonishing 116 of them!
While we fell short of our quest to eat at *all* of them, we did
manage to get to 96% of them.
I'm pretty proud of that!
=======================
Here's the summary:
On the monroail resort hotels, I was a little weak. During the tour, I
ate at 12.5 of the 17 dining options, which is only 74%.
While I did eat at most of them at one time or another, there are 2.5
that I have never eaten at.
Inside the Magic Kingdom, I fared much better eating at 27.5 of the
28.5 restaurants (96%) during my 18 month quest. I missed only one due
to bad timing; it was closed often.
I also gave myself a bonus point for my panache in dining at the
Liberty Tree Tavern during my lunch break while I was a CM.
In the Studios, I went 15 for 15. Perfect.
At the Swan & Dolphin, I also was a perfect 6/6.
The "other" hotels: 11 out of 15 (73%), with one that I ate at later.
In Ft Wilderness I went 1/2, though I ate at 1 before the tour.
In Downtown Disney / PI, I was 10/10
In EPCOT's Future World, we went 12 /12 including all the food in the
Land's food court
And in World Showcase, we would 21 / 22, only missing in Marrakesh.
So there are only a handful of restauarants that I've never tried on property...
