Charles' reaction to the others saying that the "gray stuff" is cookies and cream was hilarious!
Charles is great. I love his humor.
“If it’s crap at lunch, I don’t think magic happens at dinner...” 😂😂
"... In our opinions, which is always right." I love the matter-of-factness
"Bitter, table for one." You guys crack me up!
I love you boys! I’m ABSOLUTELY holding Pete’s feet to the fire regarding Ryno’s challenge of hitting up Casey’s Corner for the whole experience. That will be a hoot, regardless of outcome. Now, git to filmin’!

"...a lot of it is about size and flavor."
AMEN, SISTER...!
A nipple is a bullseye for a baby
Tonight’s dinner: hotdogs and sprinkles cupcakes
"It's just how you handle them."
- Charles to Ryno regarding Casey's hot dogs
HAHA!
Should include Craig & Ryno more often on the dining show. 👍🏻
I would love if you did something with chefs leaving or going to restaurants. You always seem to know the chef situations. And it's info not readily available to the public
Frosting for dessert - GROUNDBREAKING :D :D
That's a brilliant idea!
Petition for all dining episodes to discuss hotdogs
Love these discussions guys.Very informative and helpful
love the captain's grille in the background. to fun
Great episode as always!!
Thank you for covering this topic! I'm in the middle of planning a kind of challenging trip in Feb. 2019 and this helps me narrow down for the picky eaters in my group.
You guys always make my day!! I mean what other show can go from handling hot dogs to nipple cupcakes and be informative and hilarious! Glad to have you back!!
As far as dining goes, your guys’ opinions are held in high regard! I planned my dining reservations last year around your opinions and what you have said! It worked out very very well!
I so agree with Pete re: La Cellier! The food is fantastic, and I, myself, love the theming, but the prices! Ridiculous! I will never go again, if the appeitizers come in at $30, then it is time to get a hot dog instead.
It’s great food. And Becuase I do the Disney dining plan it is less of a point for me, price wise - we just wat a large breAkfast that day (like garden grille)
"size and flavour matters" LOL great show guys love this group
My husband and I both enjoyed this video. We’ve been to many restaurants on Disney Property, but oddly, only one of the ones you mentioned on this list (I guess good for us)! We made a reservation for Be Our Guest months in advance and barely squeezed it in. I had to call guest services to basically plead for a reservation. I was thrilled to have gotten one. Cue our most recent Disney trip in March and the “big day” finally arrived. As soon as I got in line my excitement quickly starting fading. The herd you are shuffled through ruined the atmosphere. The ordering system was dismal. We finally went to the dining rooms and decided on the ballroom. If I had any hope of a good meal it ended here. The floors were sticky and it was SO noisy. It was at best a themed cafeteria. The food was so bland we barely ate any of it. It was expensive for what it was and was so completely forgettable... except the literal bad taste will hang around for awhile. I have zero interest in returning.
Just found you guys, great stuff, thanks for sharing!!!!
Great video guys!
Will you do a new review at Be Our Guest when they change it to 2 credit, 3 course meal this year?
are you guys going to do another review of Be Our Guest once it becomes a signature restaurant I’m super curious about the changes
Great review
it's gonna be even worse if anything else
I get that I’m barking up the wrong tree with you but I have a lil crush on all of you. You’re all so fun to listen to and watch. Love it all
I wholehearted agree with BOG. I was completely underwhelmed. The large dining room is like eating in a school cafeteria. It is so loud. I expected more ambiance. I had a decent meal at lunch, but a disappointing meal at dinner. And I completely agree with Sprinkles cupcakes. The first time I ate one I thought, this is it? I guess I was expecting the angels to sing from all the hype. I don't know about Casey's Corner, but I will agree that the set up and seating is horrible. They could easily expand the restaurant if they removed some of the emporium space, but God forbid that Disney would do that to make it easier on the guests. Why sell $10 hot dogs when they can sell $30 t-shirts.
I kinda get what Ryno is saying about Sprinkles, some of their flavors aren't as good as others so I can understand someone having an underwhelming experience. But their red velvet is one of the greatest food items I've ever had.
The banana walnut with the chocolate ganache. Ehrmahgerd.
I don't know if I've had that one, but I have had the chocolate banana one and that is pretty fantastic.
I think their cupcakes are too firm. I’m from the south and our baked cakes are moist, so it’s definitely a preference thing.
Sprinkles also has GF and dairy free cupcakes so it’s a great option for those with food allergies.
Y’all are so incredibly helpful! My husband and I are planning for the wine and dine half marathon in Nov and we will be spending a week out there on property. You have sold us on what to do and not to do. Thanks for all your tips.
Katharine Gustafson we took everything they said to heart. The one time we wavered, the food was terrible. I don’t agree with them about Casey’s (we thought it was terrible), but everything else they say is spot on!
Katharine Gustafson My Mom & I are doing the same! Cruise last weekend in October, Disney for a week after (for half marathon). Halloween party on Halloween night!
KimOlson1993 this our first RunDisney event we are so excited. Watching RunDisney RUclips videos is what got us turned onto Dis Unplugged.
Katharine Gustafson
My mom has been doing them for YEARS! I do the 5Ks with her.
My favorite restaurant, so far, is Marrakesh in Morocco pavillion. If you have never tried it, give it a shot. Really good!
Great video! You guys should do a video on the most underrated restaurants.
This show is criminally underrated. How do they not have 500,000 subscribers by now? Only 94,000?! I learn a LOOOOT from these people.
We were going to book Kona Cafe for our trip in Autumn. We looked at the menu and noticed it had changed since our last trip. Instead we decided to try Ohana. I am glad listening to your review as I have heard from other people there was a new chef and I was a bit unsure. Loved the video guys! :D
I am still looking forward to eating at Jiko one day. I'm sure you guys will do a dining review there soon.
How do you guys get anything done.... My cheeks hurt from laughing !!!
Yay I'm so happy Ryno is on the dining show!!! So funny omg great video guys!! ♥
I completely agree regarding Le Cellier and I am so glad someone said it! So over-rated tables too close together, bathroom was atrocious, dessert was inedible, service took so long. I also agree about Kona Cafe - we didn't care for it. I would add 'Ohana as well to the over-rated list (so many service failures our last visit and it used to be a favorite). I am so sorry to hear about JIKO - I did not go on my last trip but it is my favorite signature.
Ryno is 100% right about Sprinkles, my wife and I were excited to here they were coming to Disney Springs but were deeply disappointed. Jillycakes provided our wedding cake, several assortments and everyone could not stop raving how good her cupcakes are.
Have you guys discussed Be Our Guest going to a 2 Table Service restaurant?
I’ve only ever had breakfast at Kona Cafe and was there in the fall. It was good then and I’ve never had a bad breakfast there. That said..still have only had breakfast.
No need to go to Le Cellier any more since they are selling the cheddar cheese soup outside.
Charles....had fun??? I thought he hated fun.
I did go to Kona Cafe for breakfast this past June and what I had was amazing and I heard very positive comments from tables surrounding mine. Did they change chefs again, or is breakfast just radically different?
Ryno, can you please tell us more about the mint julep at Casey’s? Was there an issue with your order or is it generally not good. Curious to know your thoughts. I know how you feel about a mint julep. :-)
The Filet at Le Cellier is $54USD right now, so not quite $70. Aged Alberta beef is expensive. I'm Canadian, and that cut is around $20CAD in grocery stores.
I love to listen to you guys when I’m in the car
Ryno, I totally agree with your observation about Sprinkles! My mom loves to bake and she's amazing at it, so when I try any cupcake that isn't hers, it's just underwhelming. I have only tried the mini cupcakes they handed out when Sprinkles opened up in Downtown Disney, not any full-sized ones, but I can just tell it won't be worth my money because I can get them at home for free.
I’m in 100% agreement with Ryno about Sprinkles. It’s way overrated, overhyped and just not good. Although most are hits and misses (mostly misses), the cupcakes are just plain dry and the frosting is overly sweet and dense. I do understand the appeal and why it’s popular though: cute/minimalist packaging, great marketing and the fact that it’s trendy. It’s trendy saying you went to Sprinkles and people go “oooh” and “aaah”. Frankly, I don’t get it but I will give them credit and say that most of their seasonal flavors are quite good and moist. Their rotating lineup though could use some work. There’s one down here at Downtown Disney but I’d rather have one from the Parks or elsewhere. Also, I don’t what it is but the staff at Sprinkles, or the ones I’ve been too are just downright rude if not snobby (there’s 3 locales around me)...doesn’t make for the greatest guest experience. I think it’s the fact that they’re like “hey, we work at trendy Sprinkles...blah, blah, blah). Honestly, better off getting your cupcake fix in the Parks or even going to Costco.
What you said about Kona Cafe is so disappointing! My husband and I went for lunch during our Honeymoon in October and we thoroughly enjoyed our meal. Our server on the other hand left something to be desired, but we walked away from the meal content! I hope things change for the better soon.
I love your guy's show, and totally value the dining opinions, do you guys thing you could do some great dining alternative restaurants?
I'm just listening to this in June. We went to dinner at Kona in January and it was fantastic.
I have to say that Casey's has been a Family Tradition in my family for close to 40 years. It use to be we go in and get ourselves a hot dog and hit the rides. It's was special because it's something I did with my Grandpa and my Dad. Now they've both passed and I share it with my 2 disabled boys and my school aged sisters. I will still continue that tradition and we have had a bad experience at Casey's but when it's hopping we take it outside and enjoy it with the view of Cinderella Castle as a family. Disney has been a huge part of my family since my childhood and still is in my near retirement years. I'm proud to say we are a hardcore Disney Family.
Rino have you ever had a cupcake from Carlos Bakery that's located at the Florida Mall. Pete should know about these cupcakes because it's out of Hoboken New Jersey.
When did the chef leave at Jiko? I went in September 2017 and thought it wast just ok when I was expecting great things.
The stench of bad sauerkraut at Casey's is enough to keep me away.
The best was the pulled pork with the coleslaw. Unbelievable. Yes the ordering part is crazy but it’s such a tradition for us. And a definite must do. Great location. Just feels like the magic Kingdom
Ha!!!! I’m right there with Steve on how the Sprinkles cupcakes look, I thought I was the only one. 😂😂
I’m sorry to hear about Jiko, I have been really looking forward to it. Kona Cafe has been getting pretty significant poor reviews lately.
We just had lunch on Saturday, 4/7/18. Was very disappointed with the food. Nothing like it used to be. I have reservations again in June, will see how it goes.
I'd love to know your review for the revamped menu of be our guest
Agree on Be Our Guest. We went once for dinner and do not plan to go again. Food was fine. It was so loud in there and service was ok.
Completely agree with Charles about BOG!! We were super disappointed. Even my kids were disappointed in the food. Atmosphere is good, food not so much.
I’m really hoping that the new dinner menu change at Be Out Guest helps elevate the restaurant a little bit. We enjoyed our dinner there last year, but on our recent visit it fell flat service wise (I still enjoyed the food though).
Charles ties the perfect knot
I agree about Be Our Guest. It's chaotic, loud, and not at all a relaxing experience.
I agree with you . We were there for dinner when you still ordered off the menu.. My dinner was extremely fishy tasting. The noise level was beyond belief. We felt very rushed. I would never recommend BE OUR GUEST .
Lunch at Cinderella’s Table was most enjoyable. Food was excellent , Filet ! All 4 princesses came spent time at our table with my 4 year old granddaughter. It will be remembered for years to come. .
I don’t know about dinner, but lunch is just expensive sandwiches and cupcakes. I would much more recommend Pecos Bill for a quick service lunch.
Jiko was the best restaurant I've eaten at in WDW this was last summer tho Elk Loin and Wild boar were wonderful
I watch 5'24" over and over. Hahahahaha! Steve's timing is perfect.
Via Napoli was highly recommended to us when we visited this March 2018. My boys recieved 2 burnt pizzas, my husband ordered a white pizza and asked for no argula added and was told they couldn't do that. When it came his crust was perfect (unlike the pepperoni pizzas my boys ordered) but you could tell the argula was added at the end and could very well of been excluded. The waiter was condescending when we asked for it to be excluded , explaining that the bitterness of the argula offsets the sweetness of the cantolope. I GET THAT but my husband hates greens. My chicken parmesan was dry along with the pasta.My husband has dietary concerns and we were informed it would be AWHILE for him to be able to talk to someone before we ordered.The whole experience was so lengthly that ...NO we didn't complain (thank you for this opportunity on your page)and yes we still tipped 20%
Why do your Mics have DIS , when your show is called DDS? Thanks and I look for new episodes all the time .
Loving Ryno on this episode. "Back in the day" I used to love Casey's, I went to Casey's last week near the time for the fireworks it was crazy and it was 10.69 for a hot dog and gross fries. The lines were crazy and people were getting angry. I love Ryno's throw down the challenge to Pete. Jiko - Never Been there. Be Our Guest - Never been there ( When I watch the video's of the place it always seems to loud) I Love Charles description of the grey stuff. Le Cellier - I haven't been in a very long time after the prices got to high. Sprinkles - the cupcakes were dry. I now want to try the Captain Crunch Ice Cream Kona Kafe - I have only done breakfast.
Kona has gone downhill for breakfast as well, So sad because it was a must do for my family when we had an early day at MK.
Cynthia Boggs same for us! We went once in October and once in November and we’re disappointed both times. All of our fav breakfast items were gone. So sad and such a great morning breakfast place before MK!
Appreciate everything you lunatics have to say about WDW. I've never lived closer than Phoenix and was as far as Alaska and Hawaii (pre Aulani) and try to go annually. So having a variety of opinions (Captain's Grill not withstanding) that can be relied upon is awesome!
I went to Kona last week for lunch. I always get the large sushi sampler. It is amazing every time I get it.
I haven't really heard you talk about with Be Our Guest getting a new menu for dinner in a few months. Are you guys going to do a dining review for the new menu. Also sorry the grey stuff is delicious but I will say I love Disneyland version better than WDW.
We have reservations for California Grill for next Saturday. I’m so excited
I have to say I am on the fence about Jiko. I ate there just the other night and my food and experience was stellar. The servers and hostess were warm and knowledgeable, and even let me check in early for my reservation.
Yet I can see where there is inconsistency because at the cooking place seating area, literally just a few stools down, there was a couple where the gentleman was not having a good experience with his food and seemed to be waiting for it twice from what I overheard/observed.
Was that new chef at Kona Cafe in Oct. 2017 because I and the rest of my party were disappointed then too.
I keep staring at the thumb tack behind Rhino's head.
100% agree about Sprinkles, if you are in area with good cupcake shops, eating Sprinkles can be really disappointing, since you expect it to be so good and it is usually alright.
My family had an awful experience at Kona Cafe in April '17. Our server got our order wrong, and we never got the correct order before we just gave up and left. Worst service in my adult life at a Disney restaurant.
Be Our Guest is getting a dinner overhaul though isn't it? I heard it's becoming a signature restaurant.
If I'm paying 80 dollars for a meal it better clear my skin and do my taxes
I’ll also add that I’ve wanted to go to Le Cellier for awhile. My interest is piqued but with the amazing California Grill (which is decidedly expensive and worth every penny) available without a $70 filet, I’d be hard pressed to choose that over CG. CG is our favorite restaurant on property and it’s a must do every time we are there. I’m a little bummed the bone marrow was gone on our last visit. Here’s hoping they bring it back again!
Completely agree about Kona Cafe. We went there to get a “quick” meal before going to Disney After Hours in March. The server was pretty good - but the food was unimpressive at best. Made me wish we had gone to Contempo Cafe at the Contemporary instead. Not worth going.
Hey guys great show! Completely agree about Be Our Guest. Very upset about Jiko since I was planning on going there this summer because Pete raved about it so much. But I guess I need to pick a different place to eat haha. So i just looked it up. A filet a Le Cellier is $54 not $70. I do think that $54 is still expensive but I also looked up a filet at Yachtsman Steakhouse and that is $50. So there's not much of a difference in pricing. So are both of these places overrated? I do not know since I have not eaten at either of these locations and I am very serious about my steak haha.
Sooo right about Kona Cafe! It was our worst meal on our last trip. Not a single one of us, which was a party of 10 liked our food.
We so AGREE with Le Cellier!! Different reasons, maybe. We went on New Year's Eve, waited 40 minutes beyond our reservations. That was a WASTE of our time. The experience was awful. Due to the holiday, the menu was limited... NO RIBEYE on the menu for my husband... I had to listen to him WHINE. They replaced it with prime rib. Desserts kind of sucked, and the bathroom was way too small for the crowds in the restaurant during the holiday time. It was an uncomfortable experience. The other high end restaurants we went to on that vacation were ALL so much better: Artist Point, Cinderella's Royal Table (had an EXCELLENT catch of the Day), Yachtsman, and California Grill!!!
Also agree with Be Our Guest being on this list. It was a zoo there and the food was awful.
I hate to say it, but I strongly disliked my experience at Be Our Guest. I was somehow lucky enough to find a reservation for it a day ahead and was SO EXCITED. Even if it was just for lunch. However it was extremely disappointing.. food was bland, the prime rib sandwich didn't even have cheese, and it was dry. Not to mention they came around with food carts trying to find out if they had your meal... had at least 5 or 6 come to us looking at our receipts just to tell us is wasn't our food. The only positive was how beautiful the theming was and that we managed to get a seat in the room with the rose.
It must be hit or miss because when I went my prime rib had cheese and was passable. (I’d rather just go to Casey’s) but I’m curious as to why everyone hates it because when I went it wasn’t the best but it certainly wasn’t awful
I just love Pete's format
I love Casey’s Corner but I can agree it’s crazy no matter what time of year you go. The one restaurant that really disappointed me was Cinderella’s royal table my server was awful. He was cold and not friendly, he treated us like we were just children. The worst part is that it was for my 21st birthday and the server totally ruined it :(
Hearing what you said about Kona makes me sad. I have heard you guys rave about it and I didn't get to make it the last time I went, so I made it a point to this time, but now hearing this makes me scared.
We ate Breakfast and Supper at Be Our Guest on our last trip on January 9. The breakfast food was bad, flavourless and overpriced. We paid out of pocket. As a Quick Service credit it was reasonable. Our supper food and service were great. For some reason we waited 1 hour for our table. Reservations were made 190 ahead. When we got into the room "The gallery" most tables were empty.
The corndog nuggets are so good, do a grab and go and walk down Mainstreet. Be Our Guest is just OK many times for food and breakfast is not worth the price at all even for yummy pastries, although always an A for atmosphere. Unfortunately, only find seats in the "library" when I have been there.
We ate at Le Cellier twice and it was amazing. We went again last Christmas and it was definitely the WORST dining experience I ever had. I don’t even know where to start. Service was bad, food wasn’t cooked right, our dishes were missing items, and when I got my dessert I noticed more was missing and I had to show them a picture from my phone what it was supposed to look like!😮 It was like they didn’t care. We were on the deluxe dining plan, and I felt like because it was credits and not cash they thought it was ok to give us horrible service. It was just awful and I won’t go back. It’s sad, because it’s so good.
I agree on Be Our Guest. We were soooo excited to eat lunch there. The restaurant is beautiful (except for that room with pictures) but the food was so bad. We HAD to try the grey stuff, and while the frosting was good but the actual cakey part tasted like dollar store cake mix. Yuck.
Only have been once in Casey's. What drew me in was the mac and cheese hot dog. Terrible. They should be embarrassed to call that sewer concoction mac n cheese. Then actually trying to find somewhere to eat was a nightmare. Don't get me started.
ohheypaula We went to Be Our Guest for breakfast and it was awful. The whole breakfast were just pastries you could buy at a grocery store for cheaper.
Sitting Duck we had breakfast there. We had the Gastons feast, and was quite good. They were very willing to help with my pork sensitivity, and cooked chicken sausage for me. Although, it was very crowded, and such a pain to get into. I would avoid it, and do Cinderellas royal table instead. It would be more fun, especially if you have young daughters who love the princesses. It is more expensive though. Maybe when they make Be Our Guest a signature it will be worth it.
I’ve always hated Cassie’s Corner because there are always super long lines and hotdog are super terrible compared to Saline’s hotdogs that I always eat at home. I often always feel sick after I eat there.
I went to Jiko last Christmas so I’m not sure if the new chef was there at that time but I loved everything I ate there. The flatbread appetizer was super awesome and I also loved the steak. Once again I’m not sure if the new chef was there at this time.
I did not have a great experience when I went to Be Our Guest around when it opened. I loved the theming but I hated the food. I don’t remember what I had but I only liked the grey stuff.
I went to Le Celie two christmas’ ago. I loved the food but it was a bit expensive. The pretzel bread was a must have. Sadly I was a bit Ill that day.
I just went sprinkle’s cupcakes the past spring break. It used to be my favorite cupcake place ever but now I understand why it’s overrated because the Quality is dropping.
Note: I was not impressed with Voodoo Doughnut’s. It was like Tim Horton’s quality doughnuts which is not saying much.
I’ve never been to Kona Cafe. I’ve ate at Ohana’s, the dinner show, Pineapple Laui and there quick service. I have loved all of it. I’ve always scene the Kona Cafe as seafood so I’ve never tried it. Maybe some day I will but basing it of other restaurant at the Polynesian I believed it must be good but I guess not.
Love y’alls show! Totally agree with the Be Our Guest restaurant review. My husband and I went there with our girls for lunch and the wait time even though you have a reservation is the first major turn off. The lunch was in my opinion overpriced and not very flavorful. Spent $60 dollars and went immediately to purchase a mickey pretzel and cheese dip.
FYI....the sprinkles cupcakes do look like 👀 😂
When there in Jan, we did Be Our Guest for dinner - our service was mediocre at best, and the food was just okay. My sides were great and my main dish was meh. I have always wished the 3rd room was the library. I agree that the grey stuff is only okay. All other times I have really enjoyed dinner there. Did breakfast at Kona on that trip as well, and my Eggs Benedict was good, but my plate was dripping with hot water. They hadn't properly strained the eggs. Apparently they weren't using a slotted spoon. It made my plate look not great and everything else a little soggy.
We went to Kona Cafe for breakfast on our last trip and it was amazing!!
May I ask what happened that everyone sad? Pete's expression is almost made me cry.
I haven’t seen Charles in quite awhile on your show. Will he be comfortable my back?
