The Frump Takes Over the World: Food Edition! A DR with Extra Magic! Update- 11/14

[Disneyfreak616]

Kristen! I follow you on IG and comment on your pictures often (DeeCroke) but I don't know If I've ever comment on this TR! It's amazing! The food!!!! I'm craving it all right now!

The picture of Sarah on the bus all alone- hilarious!

Hope you had a GREAT birthday and have super fun time in Vegas, DL & D.C.!

-Dee

Oh hooray! Thank you so much!

Hahaha she's a funny kid.

Thanks! ​

Food is extremely important so I understand that you had to miss the safari.

If I end up wearing plaid, I will die happy.

I just love the food from the 50s. The atmosphere and the CMs are wonderful too, but DAT FOOD.

My grandmother got green beans and whipped cream (also some sprinkles) for not asking to go to the bathroom. That is why the 50s is, um, PERFECT.

Mulch, Sweat, n’ Shears > every single other band out there

Oh I didn't miss it! I was on the phone while ON it. I can multitask.

You and me both sista. That and being friends with a princess.

Amen. SO GOOD. Hahaha that's hilarious!

SO TRUE. Mulch is perf. I'm obsessed.​

Your picture of Br’er rabbit is SO ADORABLE. I am dying.

ME GUSTA THE PLAZA ♥

That baked potato soup looks heavenly. COME TO MAMA.

The Turf Club looks really good!

I do not approve of the AoA bus spiel. Like no.

Have a wonderful time on your trip and I CANNOT WAIT TO HEAR ABOUT DISNEYLAND AHHH!

Tehe thanks! He was so cute!

Me gusta as well. The soup was DELISH. As was Turf Club!

Neither do I. No way.

THANK YOU! I will be mad-tweetin'.​

Loved reading your reviews & pictures! Thanks!

Thank you so much! ​

Yay!! Kristen I'm so excited for your trip[. I have a feeling I will see you in Disneyland. I mean, it's way smaller than WDW right? As far as tips for 4th of July, just be prepared to be around huge crowds all day. It will be hot, there will be lots of intoxicated people too. I would bring bottles of water and don't drive. It would be better to take the metro (which will be really crowded too). BUt it is totally an awesome experience. Really great fireworks! Have a blast -Amanda

 

[cindianne320]

Wonderful reviews!

I actually ate at the Turf Club- my friend was staying there and it worked out to meet her there for lunch! Loved the service!

Enjoy your trip to DL!

This is true! Be sure to say hello! Our hotel is actually right on the mall or whatever, so we'll be walking everywhere. I think we'll avoid being outside in the afternoons at all costs. Thanks for the tips!​

I am just joining along, and all caught up. Great review!!

 

[kanadar]

Just read your dining review so far, first review I've read of yours. I tried to start one of the first ones but it said 64 pages, and thats a lot of reading! haha. This is kind of a random question but to my surprise I didn't see anyone else ask but did you get your nails done or do them yourself? And do you happen to have a picture of them? I could only see a few from pictures and they looked super cute! I enjoy getting my nails done and am always looking for fun designs to get done before disney.

I'm just joining in and I'm all caught up!! Great Review so far! I'm craving Disney food right now haha

Hi there Kristen! I hope you are enjoying Vegas about now. Well, specifically Monsters University! They were handing out buttons promoting the movie yesterday at the DL.

Getting caught up here...
Your soup at Plaza restaurant - oh my gosh! You're killin' me since that looks awesome. I need to try and squeeze that in.

Turf Club - I have to say although I didn't like it when we went over a year ago, I'm willing to try something twice to give it the benefit of the doubt. I see they have prime rib which is a tough find in WDW.

Yay for Splash Mountain front row which confirms what the signs say - you WILL get wet! (At least with my luck. Like the first time we met I was a soaking wet mess!)

I love Woody and Jessie! Such cute photos. (Love Sarah's bow. That looks familiar!)

Looking forward to seeing if we can say hi to each other at DL next week. BTW: You have your priorities straight making sure you get on RSR! Hint: Single Rider Line is your friend. Em and I do that and are in the same car about 75% of the time.

Enjoy the rest of your Vegas trip.

 

[RGirl]

Yikes - I fell woefully behind. But I am all caught up now!

First, have a great trip!!!!!!!

Second, thanks for all the wonderful reviews, pics, and thoughts. I am really enjoying your reviews and look forward to more! Especially BoG!

 

[librarygeek]

The sandwiches at Plaza look delicious! I have a ressie there on Sunday and I'm looking forward to trying it!

Never made it to Turf Club yet but the pasta dish looks really good.

And WOOHOO for Disneyland!! I've never been but I'm hoping to get out there within the next few years, so I will definitely be looking forward to your TR on that!

 

[RachelNinja]

Yum to your Sanaa review! My husband and I absolutely adore that place although we were devastated when they took off the shrimp in green curry sauce. We're still mourning that loss, and it was one of those things that they didn't give a recipe for so there isn't even a chance of recreating it at home.

I never really looked at the Grand Floridian Cafe before, but those meals look delectable! I like having shrimp whenever possible since it's one thing I don't make at home so to me, it's such a treat. Your shrimp and grits look delicious. I just watched a Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives yesterday where Guy Fieri had shrimp and grits, and I'm so interested in having that combo!

Haha, I totally got your "no more 8:30 shows" thing! When we passed by last week, we commented on it when we saw the times board in front of Indy!

Loving your updates about your current trip!

I do them myself! These are the ones from my most recent WDW trip in May/June:

It is! I definitely enjoyed it a lot.

Hahah you weren't a mess at all! But yes, you do get quite wet!​

I love Woody and Jessie! Such cute photos. (Love Sarah's bow. That looks familiar!)

Yes! We share it. They were so cute.

So sorry I didn't see you at DL! Definitely at WDW though! We did do SR though. Much easier.​

You are very welcome! Be Our Guest will show up in my December TR!​

They were! I loved it!

Sarah really enjoyed that, though it was way too much for her.​

Ah I know! So sad it's gone!

That dish was so delicious! I loooove Southern food, so grits were a nice treat.

Yes! Hahahah that vid is HILARIOUS.​

 

[Disneyfreak616]

Hey there y'all! I'll be posting updates soon but first I wanted to link you all to the TR from the Frump Reunion trip! Maggie has it up and running, so if you haven't found it already, you can find it HERE! I hope you enjoy her wit and comedic brilliance as much as I do! Enjoy! ​

 

[kanadar]

Cute! I wish I was able to do that but I'm pretty sure they would just end up looking like a hot mess haha. LOVE the monorail one!

 

[PlutosRHM55]

Joining in! I know I'm late, but I can't miss out on another frump TR, especially a DR. Literally, due to your food raving/reviews (this one mostly pertains to you, Kristen), Schoolbread is at the top of my list for Disney snacks I must try so now I gotta see what your opinion is of the new food options coming to the world (although this was from last year...). Glad to hear you guys enjoyed Sanaa to give it a TWO PART update! Love that place! Can't wait to read more!

P.S. Hope you had a great time on your bicoastal escapade! Excited to hear about your return trip to DLR!
