    The Flip-Flop Trip: A first attempt to report our dining

    They were the most anticipated, too. The kids want a snack/TS dining plan :scratchin I told them that we've done that before, when we paid OOP! Doesn't it, just? On the QS drink thread in the DDP sub, I said it may be connected to the start of F&W. You never know if they'll reinstate the good...

    The Flip-Flop Trip: A first attempt to report our dining

    :laughing: The birds go where they want to go! We were sitting by the water at FTBBQ and this guy stalked us throughout the meal, because people feed them.

    Random question - how do you...

    Last trip, there were 4 of us instead of 5. I allowed enough time using the bus system to go from AKL, to AK, to GF for dinner before Villains. We always use the buses but I don't usually schedule ADRs that require a special trip. Because we're usually 5, I avoided ride share/taxis. Especially...

    Which Restaurant to visit?

    My favorite is Capt. Cook's. Nachos, Thai meatballs, and Asian noodles are all superior to most other QS at the resorts. Contempo Cafe is fine if staying at CR, but not a place I'd seek out for dinner. I haven't eaten at the other two, but if the weather is nice I'd switch Roaring Forks to...

    The Flip-Flop Trip: A first attempt to report our dining

    The cakes and tart/pie held up well. I'd like an order of those pecans! I totally agree that it's a travesty against nature. I read that they're using the tilapia from the tanks in Epcot, to make it seem okay and "sustainable". In reality, it's just plain icky. Not so spoiler alert, the dining...

    The Flip-Flop Trip: A first attempt to report our dining

    8/6 Trying to use snack credits, FTBBQ We started our last DDP day with a ridiculous number of snack (19!) and QS (6) credits. Our TS credits were spoken for, that evening. The night before, Alexis used a snack credit for a frozen POG juice. The machine wasn't working and the drink wasn't even...

    The Flip-Flop Trip: A first attempt to report our dining

    Hey! I just realized my Stow Away Mary pic is missing. I guess 4 pics/post is the limit. That's some dicey balancing that only a sober person would attempt.

    A Tipsy Tenth Dining Adventure - Completed 9/28

    Those are my favorite, too. Along with the wok-fried green bean appetizer. I ate my nachos by myself, last time I was at Y&Y. Oof but so. good. Hey, tasty steak and decent shrimp are a small price to pay. I've never had room for dessert, either. See above.

    Thoughts on Rivers of Light and dining package (Tiffins vs Tusker?)

    I saw the new show in August, but didn't see the other version. For a birthday, I'd say 'No'. Don't plan around it. It's pretty but not worthy of paying for the package. On the regular DDP, only for the fact that you get an appetizer at Tiffens. My kids and I much preferred watching Awakenings...

    Hot Takes on Tables in Wonderland

    Ah, yes. AP and Visa will cover many of the same TS with a 10% discount (with occasional exceptions). TiW is 20%.

    Hot Takes on Tables in Wonderland

    TiW is most TS and lounges. There are a few QS where it can be used, like at POFQ or the All-Stars. Here's the list... https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/faq/restaurants/tables-in-wonderland-restaurants/

    The Flip-Flop Trip: A first attempt to report our dining

    So happy you're reading! Yeah, the kids are sugar hounds. I'm not a "sweet" person, and don't buy or make it regularly, so they took full advantage of all the choices! The kids didn't start out liking a variety of foods. It took a while for them to come around. Once in a while I'll still hear...

    The Flip-Flop Trip: A first attempt to report our dining

    8/5 EPCOT Snacks and Drinks We were actually able to wake up on time this morning to make it Epcot for rope drop. For breakfast, I gave the kids apples we brought from home, and they drank the orange juice we squirreled away from our Mara meals. We met a father/daughter duo while waiting to be...

    The Flip-Flop Trip: A first attempt to report our dining

    8/4 Evening at AK I apologize, again, for the lack of pictures. Our evening plans were simply to finally see ROL. I understand that the show has been trimmed quite a bit since its premiere. "We Are One" is the new working title. It was...pretty. The entire park has incorporated more Lion King...

    The Flip-Flop Trip: A first attempt to report our dining

    Homecomin' desserts There were four dessert options and we got one of each. We brought them back to the room and nibbled on them that night and the next day. They were sampled at the DS bus stop, during our interminable wait to get back to AKL. Hummingbird Cake, a pineapple-banana cake with...

    Thanks so much for reading! I hope to get through several more meals in the coming days.

    Homecomin’ Brunch

    I can't confirm, but I saw that someone was able to get the lunch menu earlier in the day. Seems timing isn't a hard and fast policy.

    What's the most you've paid per person for one meal?

    Yep. V&A in 2012. We were celebrating our wedding anniversary and adopting our three kids (who loved Poly's kids club that night). We had the wind pairing and DH had one upcharge item. I started saving for the trip and dinner two years prior, to lessen the sticker shock. I think we got out of...

    Seeking specific snacks out like a snack ninja!

    I made a long list but we had REAL problems with having the appetite to order. I can comment on your list because they were some of ours! FTBBQ pulled pork fries - temper your expectations. They were an okay breakfast for me at 11am. I shared with 3 kids because it's a large portion and I drank...

    The Flip-Flop Trip: A first attempt to report our dining

    8/4 Mara and Homecomin' After arriving back at the room, I set my alarm for DHS EMH. LT is a huge fan of ToT and I wasn't able to get a FP for it, this trip. At least I thought I set it for that morning! Alexis shook me awake at 730. I had a mild "we need to hurry!" moment that jump-started my...
