Thank you, Molly, for putting Food Costs on the screen! 🙂 Cost is a major factor. It lets us know what we can and can't do on our trip, and I appreciate you putting the prices on the screen! Yay! Please keep doing it. 🙂
Don’t tell everyone but my wife and I have a new first day while waiting for our room tradition. We go to Tony’s, request outside seating, order the bread sticks and another app, order a bottle or two of wine, and watch the parade. Best start to a trip ever, says Rapunzel from the float! Then we go to our room and nap of course.
Tony’s gave me food poisoning 2 weeks ago today, and I ended up visiting first aid and the ER. I fully endorse the health staff at Disney… Tony’s never again
You three (yes, I know we only see two of you, but I know Max is with you in spirit) are easily some of the most entertaining people on this platform! You make my day brighter every time you share a video. 💜
I’d like to see a definitive review of all the food in the Epcot Mexico pavilion. Do either of the table service options rise above the quick service, festival booth, or even the options at Chozo de Marg or La Cava?
The biggest redemption would be if Italy ever has a good booth at any festival ever. But I’d also be interested in seeing if some of the lesser talked about EPCOT restaurants have recently improved, like Nine Dragons or San Angel Inn.
Molly and Alan, my son Tyler and I so enjoyed meeting you both while you were waiting to be seated at Tony’s! It was so fun watching this video to see if you agreed with our opinion that the food had improved…the garlic bread, so good! 👨🍳💋 Love your content as always and hope you see you both in the parks again sometime!
The Coral Reef has always been one of my favourites. It has decent seafood, a pleasant view and ambiance, and it often a quieter restaurant, great for a break from the crowds.
I genuinely love PizzeRizzo and I can’t hide it!!!! Also. That poor Tony’s menu looked like it’d been through a few wars. But glad to hear it’s gotten better!
Loved this video! The 2 of you give the best food reviews. We were at Coral Reef a few years ago for lunch and we thought the food was good but the view made the experience unforgettable! I always love your reactions whether it is for something yummy or something not! I can always count on you for a good laugh!
Older millennial here and I see you and I hear you about the salad from school! Thank you for that description! Also, their initial reactions to the pizza cookie is a vibe I like a lot!😅
I sat at the same table as you at Tony’s during festival of fantasy and when I tell you a premium parade viewing made that meal a 100/10 LOL But the actual food itself is half decent for a nice AC sit down break meal imo
I understand why you may not like the puffy pizza as locals but man when you’re traveling and your tummy is acting up and just want something easy, puffy pizza is real nice😂
Great video concept! Would love to see some resort food courts or buffets. Pop Century Food Court, Chef Mickey's, etc. Maybe also a look at the food in the concierge lounges at the resorts. I see people constantly asking if the club rooms are worth the price for the food at club level.
My friend just recommended The Coral Reef at Epcot for our next trip. I think more for the atmosphere than the food, but we’ll be passing. I did book Tony’s, the though. 😬 I want to try the garlic bread lol.
I might have to try Tony’s my next trip now! That dessert is right up my alley! I’d love to see Be Our Guest be redeemed at some point. The time we went the food was just kinda meh, and while it was still magical because we sat in the West Wing, it was a one-and-done for us unless the menu gets a revamp.
In the 1990s, the Coral Reef food was amazing. As the family got older, the food was far less attractive. But in fairness, we've seen ups and downs at many Disney locations thru the years. Even if the menu lists the same items, when the head chef changes, the tastes may change greatly. And all bets are off if the chef has his own agenda (like reducing sugar or other ways of making things more healthy.). We've had several episodes of going to a previous favorite restaurant only to wonder what happened to it.
Glad you gave these a retry. I would like to see you take on the Plaza Restaurant, Sci=Fi, Rainforest Cafe (sorry but curious if it's improved), and Planet Hollywood.
Off topic! Booked our first trip to Universal for Dec 2025!!! I'm 51 and when Half Blood Prince book came out we all bought first day and all read together in our fav bar that night! I'm buying a Draco wand. Watching all your videos to learn as much as I can. Thanks!!!!
Omg never knew that about the Muppets. Wish they'd still do the great muppet ride sounds amazing. We live the myppet show and Muppets and wish they'd even have a mupp3ts character themed table service restaurant. That would be epic
I'm just starting the video - I was excited for City Works in Disney Springs. We went for our anniversary. I really loved the seasonal Duck Nachos, but everything else was mid or less than mid. I wasn't worth the price tag. It is 100% a place to go if you want an app and some tap alcohol/beer.
I went to Coral Reef during covid and had the best time. We were one of three families in the entire restaurant and were seated right up on the glass. The turtle hung out with us the entire time. We had a steak and it was fine but the experience of being right on the glass made it a core memory. I went again earlier this year and the food was fine and our view wasn't nearly as good. It's a restaurant that should probably be a one and done for the experience on its own.
That garlic bread at Tony’s…chef’s kiss. We wanted a light lunch and got the garlic bread and salads with chicken. The salads were nothing spectacular but we weren’t looking for more. The garlic bread was just so good it carried the meal.
Does anyone else remember when you used to get a 3D Mickey shaped butter at Coral Reef? Not being a seafood eater, I did not enjoy this restaurant as a child, but the Mickey butter was a delight!
I just wanted to make a recommendation for Tony’s. They have a tomato sauce made with pepperoni that comes with the short rib dish that you can substitute on any dish. It is so flavorful and changes the chicken parm and pasta to a much more elevated dish and I have to say the meatballs were a win for us. Coming from CT where we have really good Italian food, we were pleasantly surprised. We do agree the sauce that comes with it is not great.
my kids would LOVE the Coral Reef and that shark drink! ... however, we have yet to go because price-wise there's just so many better food options when we're in Disney, plus some of our group don't enjoy sea food... however, probably on our next trip we'll check it off the bucket list anyways
The salad at pizza rizzo has been my hidden gem for a while and I go with my daughter who loves to dance in the banquet hall. The cookie when I had it though was the worst cookie I ever had lol, maybe the recipe changed which would be exciting!
We tried Coral reef as well and the food definitely left us feeling underwhelmed. We were also sat on the upper most level because of a need for wheelchair access. Be forewarned unless I missed something if you need to remain in your wheelchair you will be on the top level. From the top level your view of the aquarium is limited, the top of the window is at eye level so...
Coral Reef could add a ton of atmosphere if they'd just play some interesting instumental music in the background...it sounded like an employee cafeteria during your visit.
Does anyone else remember when the Coral Reef Restaurants lighting was somewhat dim blue almost dark, and the ceiling had moving water projections throughout? It gave the feeling of being under the sea. The new, harsh and bright lighting is horrid. So many things Disney has lost that people do not realize are gone. Take me back to 1980s Disney..,.
When we went to Coral Reef with my family, we were a party of 14, so of course, we were sitted at the back of the restaurant. So, the food was average, and we were miles away from the tank... so... no thanks
I agree with your decisions 😊. Tony’s also has fabulous athmosphere since you can eat on the Main Street. Coral Reef - no thanks. We had lousy food and bad service. One and done. Also, I love puffy pizza 😂.
Great video! I recently ate at Tony’s and it was ok. But I actually like Pizza Rizzo 😂 I just wish Pizza Rizzo was better themed… it could be SO amazing! I would love to see a show on Space 220…I want to like it but just don’t. A couple of the apps are good and that’s about it for me. Also, Oga’s Canteen. Love the vibe but the drinks are so so and the bar snacks are meh…Disneyland’s looks way better!
Why does Disney have such a hard time with Italian? Even “bad” Italian restaurants taste good. Like Via Napolini is the only one that's legit good in Disneyland or Disney World. Even their festival food flops! It seems like such as easy fix. Why?!
@ agreed. But Disney has a hard time with even mediocre. It’s bizarre. Plus they have people working in EPCOT who are from Italy. It’s not like Disney can’t access Italian chefs and cooks or even Italian grandmothers for goodness sake.
My husband and I used to go to WDW every year, and I always loved that restaurant but he never liked it. If Florida can lift the anti-LGBT laws, I might go and try it.
The rum drink would have been my choice so thanks for the heads up on that. Just a rum and coke would be best then? The Hawaiian bread looked great but it would have been my dessert (I don't like sweet with main course). I was surprised by the cookie then remembered it was a Disney cookie. I think I was thinking of the ones they hand out to kids at superstore bakeries. Just those ... huge but bland "flour flavoured" things, I think they're called Monster cookies. Anyway, I was glad that was good, though I can't have strawberry so it'd be one of those ones people would just have to describe it to me ... and you did!

The unsung hero of the mammoth club has to be Mollys nail lady 💯
Literally. I started watching her for nail inspo 😂😂
AGREED
Definitely!! Nails are always on point!! I aspire to have a nail lady that good.
I don’t think Alan gets enough love. So here’s some love. Your occasional sarcastic tone is on point.
He gets better and better with each video
I love Alan. He is such a nice person.
I think these Restaurants should get Gordon Ramsey to revamp their menus! 😅
The pearl clutch to the pizza cookie and the way Alan took off his sunglasses. That moment took me out and made me laugh!!!😂😂😂😂

I remember eating at Coral Reef when I was 5 years old back in 1986. I'm glad it's still around.
Tony’s gave me food poisoning 2 weeks ago today, and I ended up visiting first aid and the ER. I fully endorse the health staff at Disney… Tony’s never again

You make my day brighter every time you share a video. 💜
Not gonna lie every time y’all said chutney I most definitely said it as ‘chut-a-knee’ like Schmidt in my head😅
Omg same 😂
You should review the new Pecos Bill menu. It looks actually good now!
Had it last week, my family tried pretty much everything and we all loved it.
I’d like to see a definitive review of all the food in the Epcot Mexico pavilion. Do either of the table service options rise above the quick service, festival booth, or even the options at Chozo de Marg or La Cava?
The biggest redemption would be if Italy ever has a good booth at any festival ever.
But I’d also be interested in seeing if some of the lesser talked about EPCOT restaurants have recently improved, like Nine Dragons or San Angel Inn.
I just can’t find it in my heart to hate a Muppets-themed restaurant!

The Coral Reef has always been one of my favourites. It has decent seafood, a pleasant view and ambiance, and it often a quieter restaurant, great for a break from the crowds.
Love the Coral reef!!
A few decades ago Tony's used to serve breakfast. They had a frittata to die for. Really miss starting our day at Tony's.
After this week, these videos make me so happy. Your sense of humor throughout this has cracked me up. Thank you to you both.
I'd say Sci--Fi Dine in Theatre was the one I was most excited about as far as theming and such and turned out to be a "meh"
I genuinely love PizzeRizzo and I can’t hide it!!!!
Also. That poor Tony’s menu looked like it’d been through a few wars. But glad to hear it’s gotten better!
I’m very excited to see how these restaurants hold up. None of them are must dos for me, but we like to give places another chance
Molly, you look amazing. I'm having Tony's next week. Can't wait to have the garlic bread. Love this concept. Great video.
Next time: Mama Melrose, Nine Dragons, and Rainforest Cafe in DAK or Pizzasafari
Loved this video! The 2 of you give the best food reviews. We were at Coral Reef a few years ago for lunch and we thought the food was good but the view made the experience unforgettable! I always love your reactions whether it is for something yummy or something not! I can always count on you for a good laugh!
Alan is always a good complement to Molly's energy. His mustache make me think of Inspector Gadget villians.
I know you can be underwhelmed and you can be overwhelmed, but can you ever be just whelmed?
I totally cracked up when it was proposed that Pizza Rizzo might be the highlight of your day.
Alan made this episode. His reactions are priceless!
Older millennial here and I see you and I hear you about the salad from school! Thank you for that description!
Also, their initial reactions to the pizza cookie is a vibe I like a lot!😅
The garlic bread and giant mozzarella sticks are worth a trip to Tony’s. So good!
I sat at the same table as you at Tony’s during festival of fantasy and when I tell you a premium parade viewing made that meal a 100/10 LOL
But the actual food itself is half decent for a nice AC sit down break meal imo
I understand why you may not like the puffy pizza as locals but man when you’re traveling and your tummy is acting up and just want something easy, puffy pizza is real nice😂
This has been one of my favorite series! I really enjoyed this!
Great video concept! Would love to see some resort food courts or buffets. Pop Century Food Court, Chef Mickey's, etc. Maybe also a look at the food in the concierge lounges at the resorts. I see people constantly asking if the club rooms are worth the price for the food at club level.
The only Disney food critics I trust!
I love it when you guys do dining reviews.
My friend just recommended The Coral Reef at Epcot for our next trip. I think more for the atmosphere than the food, but we’ll be passing. I did book Tony’s, the though. 😬 I want to try the garlic bread lol.

The garlic bread at Tony's looks amazing!🎉
We ate at Tony's recently, and it was pretty good, not great. The garlic bread was fantastic. Everyone around us was getting it.
All I could think of with the meatball sub was the episode of HIMYM 😂
Glad to hear about Tony's being redeemed. My sister and I are going to WDW in December, and we made reservations for Tony's on our MK day.
Omg never knew that about the Muppets. Wish they'd still do the great muppet ride sounds amazing. We live the myppet show and Muppets and wish they'd even have a mupp3ts character themed table service restaurant. That would be epic
I freaking loved that cookie.

I’m here at magic kingdom right now! I really wanna see you
YES! Justice for Tonys. Were are the rare breed, huge Tonys fan. Love to see you enjoying it❤
Does anyone else remember when you used to get a 3D Mickey shaped butter at Coral Reef? Not being a seafood eater, I did not enjoy this restaurant as a child, but the Mickey butter was a delight!
They had it at Cindarella's Royal Table too! I have an actual blurry photograph of it taken with my disposable camera! 😅
Very excited to add Tony's to our upcoming trip. Thank you for this video so much!
I actually love Coral Reef so much.
I just wanted to make a recommendation for Tony’s. They have a tomato sauce made with pepperoni that comes with the short rib dish that you can substitute on any dish. It is so flavorful and changes the chicken parm and pasta to a much more elevated dish and I have to say the meatballs were a win for us. Coming from CT where we have really good Italian food, we were pleasantly surprised. We do agree the sauce that comes with it is not great.
I've done the Epcot Seas DiveQuest and I love seeing people eating while I'm swimming...so fun!
I just saw those Ears and thought of you. Those are my favorite so far!! So glad you got them.
Off topic, but when are you guys gonna eat the new fried cheese thing at the new Corn Dog spot at the Boardwalk?
Watching this after the news of the muppet area closing is actually funny
my kids would LOVE the Coral Reef and that shark drink! ... however, we have yet to go because price-wise there's just so many better food options when we're in Disney, plus some of our group don't enjoy sea food... however, probably on our next trip we'll check it off the bucket list anyways
I feel strongly that we need an Instagram of Alan cooking as the Swedish Chef! Bork Bork Bork! Lol
The salad at pizza rizzo has been my hidden gem for a while and I go with my daughter who loves to dance in the banquet hall. The cookie when I had it though was the worst cookie I ever had lol, maybe the recipe changed which would be exciting!
justice for tonys town square!! it is always my go-to im glad it redeemed itself
I loved coral reef, had a great experience at Tony’s the first time and it was not so great the next time..curious to see how it’s changed!
I am 100% confident that salad was featured on 2020 Iconic Eats when Tess did Hollywood Studios pre-Covid
We tried Coral reef as well and the food definitely left us feeling underwhelmed. We were also sat on the upper most level because of a need for wheelchair access. Be forewarned unless I missed something if you need to remain in your wheelchair you will be on the top level. From the top level your view of the aquarium is limited, the top of the window is at eye level so...
At least you didn’t have a horrible day and had one that change review. Thanks!
Coral Reef could add a ton of atmosphere if they'd just play some interesting instumental music in the background...it sounded like an employee cafeteria during your visit.
This was a great idea for a video because it showcased some places that I wasn’t aware of.
Love this concept. Please make it a thing.
Love to see Tony's and Pizza Rizzo be redeemed! It'd be cool to see Mama Melrose on here. I've heard mixed reviews about it.
Does anyone else remember when the Coral Reef Restaurants lighting was somewhat dim blue almost dark, and the ceiling had moving water projections throughout? It gave the feeling of being under the sea. The new, harsh and bright lighting is horrid. So many things Disney has lost that people do not realize are gone. Take me back to 1980s Disney..,.

Happy Friday mam fam

i pushed a meatball around the plate with my nose at tonys and they kicked me out
Did you try slurping the same noodle as your partner?
I have a reply, but this is a family friendly channel….
Morning MAM Fam!
Great video! I recently ate at Tony’s and it was ok. But I actually like Pizza Rizzo 😂 I just wish Pizza Rizzo was better themed… it could be SO amazing! I would love to see a show on Space 220…I want to like it but just don’t. A couple of the apps are good and that’s about it for me. Also, Oga’s Canteen. Love the vibe but the drinks are so so and the bar snacks are meh…Disneyland’s looks way better!
Y’all got the exact meal that I had at Tony’s in September! I truly enjoyed it! I’ll go back for the bread every time!
Why does Disney have such a hard time with Italian? Even “bad” Italian restaurants taste good. Like Via Napolini is the only one that's legit good in Disneyland or Disney World. Even their festival food flops! It seems like such as easy fix. Why?!
Mediocre Italian food is easy; authentic, outstanding Italian food is an art...
@ agreed. But Disney has a hard time with even mediocre. It’s bizarre. Plus they have people working in EPCOT who are from Italy. It’s not like Disney can’t access Italian chefs and cooks or even Italian grandmothers for goodness sake.
Every course of Molly's reef dinner had coconut..it's a one note, sweet, menu
Love this! Good to know Tony's is better!
The orrechiete dish at Tony's was the star of our families entrees when we went last.
Nice job, Tonys! 🎉
I was there when you guys were there ! I said hi to you molly at Tony's!!! You guys are awesome !!!!! ❤ love your videos
My husband and I used to go to WDW every year, and I always loved that restaurant but he never liked it. If Florida can lift the anti-LGBT laws, I might go and try it.
Other restaurants that fit this concept IMHO, CRT - for something SO expensive the food is just Meh, San Angel Inn, Contempo Cafe, Hollywood & Vine.
Danny and Vicki going to coral reef is the only reason I would consider visiting 😅
We've gone to Tony's a few times over the years and we've always enjoyed it. I guess we should stop in on our next trip and try that garlic bread!
The rum drink would have been my choice so thanks for the heads up on that. Just a rum and coke would be best then? The Hawaiian bread looked great but it would have been my dessert (I don't like sweet with main course). I was surprised by the cookie then remembered it was a Disney cookie.

Anyway, I was glad that was good, though I can't have strawberry so it'd be one of those ones people would just have to describe it to me ... and you did!
I've been waiting for Tony's to become a "recommend" for quite some time!
Surprised to see Tony's redemption but not Surprised to see rizzo and coral reef strike out. Last trips were very disappointing
Love pizzarizzo so much!!! Not the food but everything else. 😅
I used to eat at coral reef pre free dining. It was signature and great. Dining plan destroyed many restaurants in WDW
Justice for the Muppets! ✊🏼
I’ve always loved Pizzerizzo 😅😂
Great video! Thank you!! 😃
I don't go anywhere for the alcoholic beverages. This goes double for restaurants.
We loved our meal at Coral Reef in July! Pizza Rizzo...I just can't. It was a one and done for me.😞
