"I ordered the breakfast pizza...

...and mom ordered the waffle."

"Everything was VERY good. Service was pretty terrible here unfortunately. Our food was dropped off and that was the last time we saw our server. This seems to be a trend lately which is a shame since their food is so good!"

Wait- wgpe is a cs, so am I alone in that I don't expect "table service"? I mean, it's great and all, but I PLAN on getting my own refills, napkins, etc, whatever I may need, just like I would at any other cs??

Time for one update before I go to the Fine Arts Festival at my son's high school. This was our First Update of the Day sent to us this morning by DawnMeansAurora.


She and her family had dinner last night at...


Teppan Edo



Dawn said, "Forgot to take pics of the sign or the menu because I was shocked to check in 20 min. early and be seated right away. We shared a table with a nice family from Alabama who looked at me a bit oddly as I photographed our food but I just nodded at them knowingly and said "evidence for later. Just in case." ;)




First up...

Iced Green Tea





"I ordered a salad for an appetizer. It was just plain iceberg mix with a gracious plenty of ginger dressing. It was tasty and cold, though the dressing was a bit oily."

"Dylan had the Miso soup and enjoyed it. There isn't much to Miso soup so it's hard to complain or compare."

"Yo, our server, and Mai, our cook, were both attentive and excellent. Mai did all the usual Disney hibachi tricks including the volcano, the train, oil hidden Mickey. The food was perfectly cooked and tasty and for us, just enough."

"The boys both had green tea cheese cake [no pic]. The serving size on that is just a sliver more than a slice, but for us it was just enough. They seemed to like them because they polished them off before I got a photo because I was busy being sung to and wearing a chef's hat for my birthday."


CC92F3D5-C6BD-42A4-9C42-A158294487E9-18399-00000FB4C9FE7D38.jpg



"I was brought a small dish of soft serve ice cream with a candle and after blowing it out I did manage to flip the candle in the air and and catch it in my chef's hat!":thumbsup2



"Teppan Edo is very similar to our local hibachi places but we love to go there too. It's easy to eat healthily there and we had a great meal and experience."





"After dinner we wandered through World Showcase a bit and grabbed a seat to watch Illuminations on a bench next to..."


Joy of Tea

No I felt the same way!! They have some servers but they mostly deliver the food. They will help out when not busy but you should expect to get your own stuff?? I am not sure why the live reporter thought it was a restaurant where the servers serve you.

Yum! Green tea cheesecake must be new. When I was there they had some green tea flan. The cheesecake sounds awesome!

Just a reminder that next up to the Disney World Dining Plate is...



:cheer2: 4HppyCamprs :cheer2:

And also setting sail today are...


carmie3377 and family plus 8 friends are cruising on the Disney Fantasy from 3/9 - 3/16 and she has offered to send us updates upon her return home!




HAVE A GREAT TRIP, 4HppyCamprs & carmie3377!!! :cool1:
 
I was just looking at the live reporter schedule for the remainder of this month and for April - June, and realized that I hadn't done any recruiting since page 174. ;) During times of feast (as it has been here for the last couple of weeks), I tend to slack off with my recruitment duties. But with a potential famine quickly approaching, it's time to bring out the cheerleaders. :thumbsup2



:cheer2::cheer2:IT'S RECRUITMENT TIME!!!:cheer2::cheer2:

Beginning with the departure of two of our current reporters this week on 3/12, we will have only 1 or 2 reporters doing live updates from then through 3/22. So any readers who are going to be at Disney World during this time and have not yet volunteered to do live updates, please consider doing so. :flower3: Also, anyone that has been to Disney World recently (or Disneyland, or on a Disney cruise, etc.) and would like to post their pics here on the live thread (either directly or through me), please feel free to do so during this time. I'm sure the followers of this thread would be very appreciative. :)


Now moving on to the months of April - June.

Here are the volunteers I have so far for trips beginning 3/30 through the end of June:

APRIL
KMarston - 3/30 - 4/6
PirateRachel - 3/31 - 4/6
jecskc - 3/31 - 4/8
HoneyBeeM - 4/1 - 4/6
mommakacie - 4/3 - 4/10
roxysmum123 - 4/6 - 4/13

If I have forgotten anyone who has volunteered, please let me know. :thumbsup2



So here is what we still need:

April 9 thru 20 - 1 more needed

April 4/28 thru May 1 - 1 more needed

May 17 thru 31 - 1 or 2 more needed

June 11 thru 30 - 1 or 2 more needed


So if you are taking a Disney trip during the next few months, please think about giving "live reporting" a try. Think of it as "tweeting" to a very limited audience, who actually cares about what you are currently doing and eating. :laughing:
 
My family of 5 will be at WDW from the 11th-19th of May and we'd be happy to send in live reports.
