Re: Breakfast at the Radisson
 

Well, at least they attempted to give you hot food. At the hyatt, there was never any pretense of that. All we got was some cereal and a muffin. And the cereal selection was awfully limited some days.

Heres an interesting story: It was our last match of the day, and I was pretty dang thirsty. We had a long time until we acutally had to play, so I decided to go up to the stands and get a pop. To my horror, the cash register said $3.75! I dont know if it was by an act of god, or what, but at just that moment, the cash register jammed, and all 3 people working there were having no sucess opening it. Eventually the guy running the place gave me my money back and the pop for free. I'm a cheapskate, so I was overjoyed that I didnt have to waste my money in this regard.

The food was horrible and the food to buy was waaaay too expensive... In the Best Western the breakfast was runny scrambled eggs, grits, and bread...

I agree. The food wasn't that great and I wasn't too happy with the prices...could someone confirm that pay $8 for pizza and pop is way too much? :p

confirmed...............

I was almost looking forward to the Radisson breakfasts because we stayed at the Radisson at Chesapeake and the food wasn't too bad although the prices were (9$). The powdered eggs at the Radisson weren't so bad......... after I poured salt & pepper all over them although the texture was disgusting. The biscuits were pretty bad and the pancakes were at least 3 months old.

I wish there had been more options. Every breakfast at the Ramada consisted of a Burrito, muffin thing, yogurt, a granola bar, and some fruit. By Sunday, the burritos were getting kinda nasty. I didn't like the choice of lunches either; at epcot there was a variety-something houston lacked. I thought the Astroworld food was pretty good- just expensive.

ARC341: Thank you...I was beginning to wonder if it was just me...

At our hotel, we had toast, eggs, biscuits, and hash browns...and one kind of cereal...pretty much everyday from Wednesday to Saturday...the Orange Juice was slightly questionable...
:ahh:

What was avaible at the hotel
 

There was not much, but a good amount of food avaible at the hotel. For the breakfest anyway we had toast, bagels, muffins, bannas, apples, 4 types of cereal, milk, coffee, and joice. For other items to eat or just indulge we had candy, popcorn, soup, gatorade, ice cream, cheif boradee stuff, and chips. So we had some food but not enough to last us through the night, or some mornings.

Nothing beats the Ramadas Breakfast burritos by sat morning i was going wihtout breakfast. It was not good tasting at all Epcot was much better in all food respects it gave you so many options even for the free food it was much better something needs to be done for next year for sure or just return to epcot

Where Are They?
 

After reading through all of these postings, I have one simple question.

Where are all of those opinionated people who were screaming for a new venue because EPCOT was sooooo expensive?

I think all of those who were complaining last year about the cost of food at EPCOT owe Disney and FIRST a huge apology.

I am now officially off of my soapbox.

hey...not that i'm defending the high food prices...but FIRST has no control over the prices of food...its the stadium and what their company makes them charge for food....

I work at the Verizon Wireless...where BAE was held...and I know how the food issue works...Aramark(the food company) doesn't allow us to change the price of the food for events...there for, everything was still extremely expensive....

you just gotta suck it up and deal....

The Anti-Package
 

Never thought I would say this, but I think I'm glad our team couldn't afford the FIRST packages. We had the option of going anywhere we wanted whenever we wanted. Our motel was just down the road, there was fast food everywhere and anything we could possibly want without paying FIRST's package price or Reliant Stadium's inflated prices. Sure, staying at a Motel 6 (ugh) was a little rough, but we had a lot more freedom in everything else from what I'm hearing. Albeit I am a little sick of fast food - but I was able to get my Whataburger fix.......

Yes. I've a vegetarian friend too. He had to ask the manager for food and all he got were some nachos. At the team party, all he had were bread, beans, and ice cream. Kind of sucks....
As for the price, what can you expect? just think of normal prices doubled and you'll get your theme park and football stadium prices.

They actually gave your friend something else? My friend Stephanie asked, but they wouldn't give her anything else.

Honestly after eating some of the food their I want to be a vegetarian...

I was lucky in that for most meals while at the competition site, I had very good catered food provided in payment for my 2 1/2 days of volunteer time. I did, however, experience the prepaid and team party food.

My conclusion:

The ice cream at the team party was good. Otherwise, I'd say the "s" word description frequently used in this thread is right on target. No... On second thought, the food wasn't that good.
