FOOD - Table-service: Our ADRs
I wanted to go dig around the internet, and find nice little pictures of food for this update, but Im too lazy. So instead of making you wait forever for an update full of pictures, you getting an (almost) picture-less update now.
My wonderful TA (Hi Hope!) booked me my ADRs today. She was suppose to book 5, but I had her add a 6th because of an update I read in a TR recently (from someone Im not going to name *cough*Shannon*cough*).
Lets start with the two repeats, and the only two pictures youre going to see from me tonight. The first repeat was guessed by Avasmommy :
KONA CAFE
Ron really enjoyed his meal there and wants to go back. He is torn between eating the Teriyaki steak again (pictured here) or something else.
Im obviously going solely for the BREAD!!! And dessert, probably the white-chocolate cheesecake. I want to be sure to have room for both of these, so Im thinking of either nibbling at Rons steak, or taking one of the kids meal as my entree. We will be having dinner here.
The second repeat is my choice.
VIA NAPOLI
I have two reasons. First, the pizza was melt in your mouth good and Ive been craving it ever since. The second reason is the dessert (if youre sensing a theme here, you may be right). Last time I ate the whole pizza to myself and was too full for dessert (saddest thing ever). This time Im hoping Otaku will agree to share this bad boy with me:
That way, Ill have no choice but to eat only half of the pizza (I may not be able to stop myself otherwise...), which will leave plenty of room for the beauty that is called Zeppole di Ricotta. I have read about this little piece of heaven on at least two different TRs lately (Queila and cant remember who else) and I. Want. It. Now. We will be having a late lunch here.
Now for the new places. The first one was a request by Otaku. We asked her if there was any restaurant she knew she wanted to try and she said : The place where you can see the fish.
CORAL REEF
I dont know much about the menu here, and were not going there for that anyway. The main attraction will obviously be the fish. Im glad Otaku requested that because Peanut has been fascinated by the fish in the aquarium at the doctors office every time we have gone. We have booked an early lunch here, so Claudia should be awake to enjoy the view.
KOUZZINAThis was my choice, and I chose a late breakfast here. I got the idea from Jenn (Inkedupmomma). Im really looking forward to trying the waffles with whipped mascarpone cheese. (If youre sensing yet another theme in the kind of food I like, cheese, you would be correct. Pat yourself on the back) I probably would not have gone out of my way to try this place, but since well be staying in the Epcot resort area, its perfect for a break day.
CAPE MAY CAFE
Ron chose to have dinner here. He loves seafood, so the idea to have it all-you-can-eat sounds like heaven to him. He wants to try the fried clam strips, so hopefully I booked the correct day for it (Monday). Just to be sure, well look at their menu after we check-in at Beach Club and try to change our ADR if necessary. Im just going to be eating the more normal food (using the word normal here only to describe the non-seafood stuff). And the desserts, obviously.
So, both Ron and I have chosen a repeat ADR and all three of us who can speak have chosen a new place to try. We should be set, right? Wrong! What is this last-minute addition, you ask? (oh wait, you didnt ask? Im telling you anyway)
CALIFORNIA GRILLYou see, Im not a big meat eater, but I do have two favorites that I absolutely love. Those favorites are filet mignon and teriyaki chicken. When I read someones (Shan) review of this, I just had to try it. So thank you, nameless person (Shan) for costing me a bundle of money. Ron and Otaku both love their meat AND their sushi, so I KNOW this will be an expensive meal. That makes me a bit nervous, but I calm myself by remembering that in a way, my mom is the one paying for the trip. In so many ways this will be a once in a lifetime trip (going deluxe, going for New Years Eve, it may be Otakus last trip with us for many years), so I figured what the heck, lets go all out. Bonus, we scored the first ADR of the evening so well be just in time to watch the gorgeous view and early sunset, and have plenty of time to go back to MK after to watch the new castle projection show up close.
So there you have it, our ADRs. We will be doing one more table-service, but they dont take ADRs there. If you guessed Beaches & Cream, bingo! Staying at Beach Club, there is no way I can pass the opportunity of trying their ice cream. More specifically, I really want to try the No Way Jose and a milkshake. We will be stopping here more than once! At home Ive been trying to avoid sugar after dinner because it makes it harder for me to sleep, but at Disney, to hell with that! If I want a chocolate sunday just before bedtime, I will. Lets just hope the weather is comfortable enough for ice cream. Who am I kidding? I eat ice cream in winter here!
As you can see, this update was mostly from my point of view. I encourage Ron (I know youre reading this my love) to come and post his possible choices of appetizers and entrees. After all, he has been spending several hours (I may be exaggerating a tiny bit here) scouring the menus and photos of food porn and trying to decide exactly what hell be in the mood to eat 6 weeks from now. (Eeeeek, 6 weeks!)
I am behind already. Had my in-laws visit for a week so I lurked a little from my phone, but just skimmed.
The Coral Reef's menu changed. We ate there on Wednesday. (I'm a WDW "local"/) The chicken on spaetzle was really good!! What I usually order wasn't on the menu anymore. Same with the dessert menu, what I order was gone so I opted for the Blood Orange Cheesecake. Don't let the name scare you off. This is to die for!! There is an orange called a blood orange. The top of the cheesecake had a very thin orange gel, the cheesecake itself was light and airy, kind of like the Bavarian cheesecake at Germany. Instead of a graham crust, it was a thin orange cake. I took pictures, will eventually get around to posting.
Be Our Guest is a fantastic new restaurant. Did you try to get ADRs there? I know they are booking up quickly.
Yes, I do see a common theme going on your choices
