~We seldom report of having eaten too little~ F&W Edition Taste, Shake 10/31
We seldom report of having eaten too little...
Now there is an interesting thought (provided by Thomas Jefferson) and one that is very appropriate in this thread. How often have you read a dining review where someone opens with "Oh my god we were simply STARVING our whole week at Walt Disney World!"? That being said... Welcome to the F&W 2010 Edition of ~We seldom report of having eaten too little~!! TRIP BACKGROUND WHEN:October 24th - November 2nd WHERE: Beach Club (24-27) Coronado Springs (27-2) WHY: This trip is celebrating my DMom's birthday and Tania's 5th trip to WDW. We will be spending lots of time at the Food & Wine Festival and attending the Halloween night Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party! TABLE OF CONTENTS ADR Plans & Rating System I'm Tink, I'm 25 and I have done a few Dining Reports in the past, most notably August & October 2009, March & Sept 2010. I also seem to be somewhat famous for *this* picture  At which most people go  and then  when they discover this is NOT Yoshi's Deluxe Platter but our insane first experience with California Grill Sushi that set us back $100 LOL. It was soooo worth it but we've never ordered that much since. Typically we stick to 2 or 3 rolls now. My DIS-inspirations are MickeyNicki & oybolshoi.  Their reports are fun, filled with pictures and great commentary  CAST  Tink (Me): I'm 25. This will be my 37th trip to WDW. I am a true foodie and I love trying new restaurants and menu items. I take pictures of everything we eat each trip and love reviewing our meals. I also love Disney in the fall....F&W and MNSSHP are my 2 favorite events!  Favorite Park: Epcot Favorite Rides: MK = Haunted Mansion & Splash Mountain EP = Soarin DHS = Tower of Terror & Toy Story Mania AK = Expedition Everest & Kilimanjaro Safaris Favorite Restaurants: TS = California Grill, Jiko, Kona Cafe & Tokyo Dining CS = Flame Tree BBQ & Wolfgang Puck Express Favorite Snack: Make Your Own from Goofy's & Dole Whip  Tania: My best friend of 21 years, she is 25. This will be her 5th trip to WDW and her 4th time at WDW with my family. New experiences for her will include: the F&W festival and MNSSHP!Favorite Park: Magic Kingdom Favorite Rides: MK = Splash Mountain EP = Soarin DHS = Tower of Terror AK = Kilimanjaro Safaris Favorite Restaurants: TS = Le Cellier, Ohana CS = Flame Tree BBQ & Wolfgang Puck Express Favorite Snack: Make Your Own from Goofy's & Dole Whip  DMom: Age withheld at penalty of death  It will be her 37th trip to WDW. She is punctual and easy going at the same time (She had to learn to be with my DDad and I who are both well....stubborn and perpetually late) Favorite Park: Epcot Favorite Rides: Soarin & Impressions de France Favorite Restaurants: California Grill, Jiko, Kona Cafe, Tokyo Dining Favorite Snack: Popcorn  DDad: Age withheld as well. It will be his 37th trip to WDW. He is as much a Disney freak as me but hides it better. His favorite part of the trip is the food and spending time at World Showcase. As mentioned above...He is stubborn and perpetually late (like me). Favorite Park: Epcot Favorite Rides: Pirates of the Caribbean, Soarin Favorite Restaurants: California Grill, Jiko, Kona Cafe, Tokyo Dining Favorite Snack: Dole Whip For the previous editions of ~We seldom report of having eaten too little~ please click here for 2009, here for March 2010. and here for Sept 2010.

ADR Plans Sunday October 24th - Arrival Day BREAKFAST - Toronto International Airport LUNCH - Wolfgang Puck Express DINNER - Chefs de France/F&W Festival Marketplaces Monday October 25th BREAKFAST - Kona Island Coffee Bar LUNCH - Liberty Tree Tavern DINNER - California Grill Tuesday October 26th BREAKFAST - Cafe Rix LUNCH - Wolfgang Puck Express DINNER - Romano's Macaroni Grill Wednesday October 27th BREAKFAST - Kusafari Cafe LUNCH - Tusker House DINNER - La Hacienda de San Angel/F&W Festival Marketplaces Thursday October 28th BREAKFAST - Sunshine Seasons LUNCH - Chefs de France/F&W Festival Marketplaces DINNER - Victoria & Albert's Friday October 29th BREAKFAST - Pepper Market or Cafe Rix LUNCH - Garden View Tea DINNER - Via Napoli/F&W Festival Marketplaces Saturday October 30th BREAKFAST - Starring Rolls LUNCH - F&W Festival Marketplaces/Taste, Shake & Indulge DINNER - F&W Festival Marketplaces Sunday October 31st BREAKFAST - Sunshine Seasons LUNCH - F&W Festival Marketplaces DINNER - Ohana Monday November 1st BREAKFAST - Kona Cafe LUNCH - Columbia Harbor House DINNER - F&W Festival Marketplaces Tuesday November 2nd - Departure Day BREAKFAST - Orlando International Airport RATING SYSTEM For this edition of ~We seldom report of having eaten too little~ I find myself inspired by the petite chef Remy from Ratatouille who states: "If you are what you eat, I only want to eat the good stuff!"  So I have decided to use a rating system of Ratatouille characters  5 Stars "A culinary revelation!"  Items ranked as 5 stars will be on par with Ego's experience eating Remy's ratatouille. 4 Stars "So good I'm afraid to share!"  Items ranked as 4 stars will be excellent, so much so that you would hesitate in sharing as it would mean less for you! 3 Stars "Solid, but anyone could cook this"  Items ranked 3 stars will be good, but not surprising. They go along with Gusteau's motto that "anyone can cook." 2 Stars "Just hork it down"  Items ranked 2 stars will be decent, worth eating once but not worth repeating. You would feel compelled to just hork it down as Emile so often does. 1 Star "Run away screaming!"  Items ranked 1 star will bad, either bland, or disgusting, but regardless you would prefer to run away from them.

I can’t believe the Food & Wine Festival is starting in a week! I cannot wait to read the first reviews of the International Marketplace items and the Special Events.
Speaking of which, I was able to secure a reservation for the Taste, Shake & Indulge like the French event during my upcoming trip (which is a mere 30 days away). From the description this event seems like a fantastic value: - Tastings of the entire range of Grand Marnier (even 150 year!) - Cocktails & recipes using Grand Marnier - Desserts All that for $45/person, very reasonable by Disney standards! Now, onto the International Marketplace items! I’m really excited to see how many new or revised items there are this year. New Items I MUST Try - Roasted Corn and Cheese Empanada (Argentina) - Freshly Baked Waffles with Berry Compote and Whipped Cream (Belgium) - Godiva Chocolate Iced Coffee (Belgium) - Nanaimo Bar (Canada – I love these, so yummy! In case you aren’t familiar with Namaimo Bars, they are an icebox bar with a chocolate cookie crumb & coconut base, a custard/frosting like filling and a top layer of chocolate ganache!) - Cheese Fondue with Croutons and Roasted Potatoes (Charcuterie & Cheese) - Applewood Smoked Beef, Duck; and Ham (Charcuterie & Cheese) - Pastel de Choclo (Beef and Corn Pie) (Chile) - Black Pepper Shrimp with Sichuan Noodles (China) - Dark Chocolate Sensation (Desserts & Champagne) - Lobster and Scallop Fisherman's Pie (Ireland) (Ok, no not really « new » but it is new to me as I missed this item last year ) - Baked Cheese Ravioli, Creamy Bolognese Sauce, Melted Mozzarella (Italy) - Wafu Ribettes (Japan) (Apparently Wafu is a soy based marinade that is very popular in Japan) - Esquites (Pan-Fried Corn and Spices) (Mexico) - Asopao de Pollo (Chicken Soup with Rice) (Puerto Rico) - Shrimp Cake with Singapore Noodle Salad (Singapore) - Flavors of Africa (Salad, Bread, and Spreads) (I’m hoping this is similar to the Taste of Africa from Jiko!) - Lettuce Wraps with Roast Pork and Kimchi Slaw (South Korea) - Barbecue Short Rib with Steamed Rice and Cucumber Kimchi (South Korea) - Seared Albacore Tuna with Romesco Sauce (Spain) - Bison Chili with Wild Mushrooms, Cabernet, and Pepper Jack Cheese Items I am THRILLED are returning! - Grilled Lamb Chop with Roasted Potato Salad and Red Wine Reduction (Australia) - Canadian Cheddar Cheese Soup (Canada) (There would be a riot if they removed this!) - Escargots Persillade en Brioche (France) - Braised Short Ribs in Cabernet with Mashed Potatoes (France) - Crème Brulée au Chocolate au Lait (France) - Spätzle Gratin with Ham and Cheese (Germany) - New England Lobster Roll (Hops & Barley) - Kerrygold® Cheese Selection (Ireland) - Spicy Tuna Roll (Japan) - Seared Sea Scallop with Vegetable Slaw and Lemon Oil (New Zealand) - Kielbasa and Potato Pierogies with Caramelized Onions and Sour Cream (Poland) Now, I feel that I owe you all some gorgeous pictures because I’ve kept you waiting so long between updates. So, here is my Party for the Senses review from 2008! At 4:40pm we checked in at the podium at Showcase Lagoon. We were given wristbands, told the expected attendance tonight was about 950 and that the gates to World Showplace would open at 6pm. I headed to the gate at 4:50 and found about half a dozen guests there already.  By 5:30, there were easily 200 people waiting at the gates. By 6, there were likely 350 to 400. We were there early enough to be RIGHT at the front (I have a picture to prove it!)    We then made the mad dash to grab your wine glass & plate and rush into the 2nd holding area. We ended up about 3 people deep from the front. Let me tell you, when they call this the "Running of the Bulls" they aren't kidding! At 6:30 there was sheer insanity as easily 750 people surged forward, people took off like their life depended on getting a table and now I truly appreciate what many meant by the rudeness of guests! There was pushing, shoving, and all out war to grab any table anywhere. By the time I got 2/3rd of the way through the hall I sprinted with everything I had and pounced onto a table (when in rome do as the romans do!). It was nuts. I have no issues with people saving tables, but there really has to be a better system than that! We were at the very back, but actually loved the location, it was right beside a stage for entertainment. The Room is divided into colours, with the program set to show you what food items & wines are located at what coloured station. STATIONS RED  YELLOW  PINK  PURPLE  GREEN  BLUE  Here's what everyone has been waiting for....THE FOOD!!! I did not try everything as there were some things I couldn't try (allergic to blue cheese) and some I didn't want to try (rabbit  )For now I will post the items I tried with their descriptions. The descriptions will be in coloured font to match where each item was located in the room. Savoury Items Stephen Gower, `Ohana - Disney's Polynesian Resort Hawaiian Beef Cho Cho with Edamame and Sweet Potato Pot Sticker, Pineapple Chutney  Michael Kramer, Voice Restaurant at Hotel Icon, Huston TX Atlantic Rock Crab, Avacado Mousse, Yuzu Cream, Lemon Balm  Kevin Downing, Disney's Vero Beach Resort Seared Salmon Brulee, Savoury Tomato Cornbread Pudding, Green Tomato and Apple Chutney  Eric Brennar, Magic Kingdom Food & Beverage Beef Tenderloin with Asian Mushroom Risotto  Tom Hill, Victoria & Albert's, Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa Pondicherry and Vanilla Crusted Long Island Duck with Fuji Apple, Fig & Red Cabbage Jam, Apple Cider Air  Terry Metson, Fume Bistro & Bar, Napa, CA Boneless Lamb Tenderloin with Herbes de Provence on a Crisp Four-Cheese Polenta Crouton, Goat Cheese Ratatouille Ragout, Fresh Thyme  Kent Rathbun, Abacus & Jasper's, Dallas TX Grilled Veal Tenderloin, Peach Barbeque Sauce, Chipotle Corn Mash  David Bridges, Bella Fresca, Shreveport, LA Blackened Tuna Remoulade with Fried Green Tomatoes (apologies for the awful pic!)  Amber Kent, Rose & Crown Dining Room, United Kingdom Epcot Beef Tenderloin, Asparagus and Applewood smoked bacon Tart, Brown Butter Bearnaise  Jeff Page, Hollywood & Vine, Disney's Hollywood Studios Herb Crusted Lamb Loin, Creamy Sundried Tomato & Goat Cheese Polenta  Desserts & Cheese coming up!

We skipped F&W in 2007 and decided that we could never skip it again This will be our 4th F&W Festival, but my best friend's first! It is easily my favorite event to review because I think it is the perfect combination of familiar favorite items and new exciting items! Quote:

Dealing with an Indecisive DD (DDad and Disney Diner) Part 2: Creating an Indecisive Disney Daughter!! As you may recall from my last report, my DDad is an extremely indecisive Disney diner AND for those of you that are like me (obsessive planners ) you know how incredibly difficult it can be to deal with someone who likes change and spontaneity on a WDW vacation!Here in an excerpt from my last report: I have planned the trip months in advance, examined menus, park hours, EMH schedules etc. I have mapped out what I feel is the perfect itinerary. I offer to show him said itinerary numerous times in the months leading up to the trip and his response is always "I trust you” with a smile. Suuure, he trusts me. Then why is it, without fail, one week before every trip I hear, “Hey Meg….can I see the itinerary?...” Which causes the following thoughts to run through my head.... Oh god…I’m screwed….he is going to want to change something, or he will ask me to obtain the impossible reservation. I understand he wants some flexibility, but for heaven’s sake, he has been to WDW as often as me, he knows that dining reservation book out months in advance….doesn’t he? [/COLOR] Well, my DDad asked me to book a 2nd California Grill reservation for our September trip....less than a week before we left! Impossible right? As it turns out....not impossible  and now DDad is convinced I can get any reservation at the drop of a hat  This coming trip, a different conversation arose and I'm slightly ashamed to say....it was ME proposing the changes  Yup, that's right....my name is Meg, I am an obsessive Disney planner and my DDad has somehow managed to change me into a *gasp* Indecisive Disney Daughter!!A few days ago, I called DDad while on lunch at work: "Hi Dad, you know...there is a REALLY big convention at Coronado Springs when we are staying there..." "How big? We've dealt with conventions before..." "1500 people..." "Oh....crap..." "Exactly, so I was thinking, why don't we look at other options for the first few nights? Maybe stay at a Deluxe in one room (there are 4 adults on this trip, myself, my best friend Tania who is like a daughter to my parents, and DMom and DDad)." "Wait...YOU are asking us to deviate from your perfectly planned, colour coded, "it-takes-180-days-of-advanced-planning-you-know!" schedule?" "Yes, I'm aware of the irony.." "I've done it! I've made the planner....spontaneous!" "Oh, shut up!" "Where were you thinking of switching to?" "The Beach Club, that way we can focus on Food & Wine Festival for the first three days" "Doesn't that mean you have to change most of the dining reservations as well? Isn't that impossible??" "Shut up!" And thus began the saga of turning my carefully planned vacation on it's head Now we are staying at the Beach Club from Oct 24th - 27th, in one waterview room. Then we switch to Coronado Springs on the 27th through to November 2nd, in two standard view rooms. As a result, I DID have to change the majority of my dining reservations: Sunday October 24th - Arrival Day BREAKFAST - Toronto International Airport LUNCH - F&W Festival Marketplaces DINNER - Chefs de France/F&W Festival Marketplaces Monday October 25th BREAKFAST - Kona Island Coffee Bar LUNCH - Liberty Tree Tavern DINNER - La Hacienda de San Angel/F&W Festival Marketplaces Tuesday October 26th BREAKFAST - Cafe Rix LUNCH - Tusker House DINNER - Via Napoli/F&W Festival Marketplaces Wednesday October 27th BREAKFAST - Cracker Barrel LUNCH - Wolfgang Puck Express DINNER - California Grill Thursday October 28th BREAKFAST - Sunshine Seasons LUNCH - Chefs de France/F&W Festival Marketplaces DINNER - Victoria & Albert's Friday October 29th BREAKFAST - Starring Rolls LUNCH - Garden View Tea DINNER - Raglan Road Saturday October 30th BREAKFAST - Sunshine Seasons LUNCH - F&W Festival Marketplaces/Taste, Shake & Indulge DINNER - Jiko Sunday October 31st BREAKFAST - Kusafiri Cafe LUNCH - Flame Tree BBQ DINNER - Ohana Monday November 1st BREAKFAST - Kona Cafe LUNCH - Columbia Harbor House DINNER - F&W Festival Marketplaces Tuesday November 2nd - Departure Day BREAKFAST - Orlando International Airport

I'm comforted in knowing I'm not alone with being obsessive with my Disney planning! My DH sounds just like your dad. 180 days out he has no preference for anything involving Disney World and will usually tell me to book whatever I want.
Now we have 2 months to go before our next trip and he spits out "Do we have a reservation for California Grill?" Well, no, when I asked you where you wanted to eat 4 months ago you said you wanted to try some new restaurants So I'm kind of half-heartedly looking for a Cali Grill reservation for the next two months
