Another busy morning! You guys get so much done that I feel like we are slow slackers!
Does Casey handle the Haunted Mansion well? Nate flat out refuses anything "scary" or "spooky" so we've yet to take them on it despite my best effort to convince him the ghosts are actually happy.
Lunch seems to be the winner at BOG. All of your choices look great, especially the soup. And the breakfast prices are a little crazy for me to justify a meal there.
And free cotton candy?
We aren't morning people at all and while we've never actually done a rope drop have found that getting there soon after opening can be quite productive. All Casey wants to do is ride things and meet people so its go, go, go for her
Yeah, Casey is good on Haunted Mansion. She was a little apprehensive the first time but we told her it was all just meant to be silly and she's been fine. Though I know that could change at any moment
Maybe you can bribe Nate with some green cotton candy ; )
Lunch is definitely the BoG winner. As long as they keep having last minute reservations available we'll be there.
We also find BOG a solid lunch, I enjoy the turkey sandwich! I saw the menu for breakfast and could not believe the breakfast price, craziness! Via Napoli is good with a teenager, we have been twice and our pizza and appetizer both times were yummy! In three weeks I will be in MK , getting excited for our trip! Love the reviews.
I'm with you on the breakfast prices and they just raised them again. Really don't like this trend of fixed price meals.
Sounds like we'll just be a week behind you and of course eating at Via Napoli ; )
Love the cotton candy smile! Too bad our trips don't overlap - she and Owen would get along so well!
Forgive me if I asked already, but when are you all going? We've got our trip next month and then likely going again at the end of August. Casey would most definitely love to have a friend in Disney ; )
I like the braised pork at BOG but DH has trouble finding anything he likes. At least he is willing to eat there once a year.
Where is Merida taking Cassie?
I guess once a year is better than nothing. I like the pork too, but tend to only go that way on winter trips.
We were the first one after a break so Merida had met us at the beginning of the line and skipped with Casey over to the meet and greet area.
LOVE the Nutella waffle and fresh fruit=healthy
That is awesome you got into BOG last minute, is the craziness of trying to get in there finally dying down??
Apple flavored cotton candy..interesting!!!
Yep gotta love Casey's thinking. At least she realizes fruit is healthy, just the rest not so much ; )
I don't think the BoG craziness is dying down and I refuse to succumb to it, but you'd be surprised at how many of the "crazy' places get last minute cancellations
Yum! That waffle! I could totally go for one right now I love that thing!
I haven't done BOG lunch yet but it's on my must do list!
You and me both on the waffle. The protein bar I ate for breakfast is doing absolutely nothing for me.
We definitely prefer liberty tree and plaza for lunch, but BoG is a good one to add in if something is available at the last minute.
I'm putting that waffle on my list for November! That would be a good quick breakfast
I've been wanting to try it but it gets passed over in favor of those gorgeous cinnamon rolls at Gaston's.......
I saw green HM popcorn in January and was wondering what flavor it was - bet it was apple!
As you know we love BOG dinner, and I LOVE the French fries. BUT, the last time we had them was Nov. and I saw in another dining report that, at least in Dec., they'd changed them out for steak fries
I don't like steak fries, too much potato and not enough crunch. I'm going to have to research that before our next trip and if they did indeed change the fries at dinner, I'll have to check on the lunch fries, too
Definitely try the waffle. I'm still a bit heartbroken the savory ones are now gone at lunch time, but at least i'll have the nutella to drown my tears in. We're big Gaston's fans too. So that just means at least two mornings in MK ; )
I know I'm late to the party here but:
1) I live in Fairfax!
2) As a VT alum, I just have to say...Go Hokies!
3) I love your writing style and am excited to read along!
4) I seriously don't use this many exclamation marks in real life. The wonders of the Internet!
Welcome to the party fellow Hokie and NOVAite. I grew up in Burke and we are in Centreville now, so right around the corner ; ) Glad you are enjoying the report. I know I love eating and writing all about it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (was that too many exclamation points
)
Glad to hear your BOG lunch was a hit! We love lunch as well, and I am a huge fan of the soup. Love the pictures!!
Yeah the soup was a great find this trip. Can't wait to have it again.
Thank you for doing this! No way in heck would I have ordered that either
Yes I find opportunities to mock poor Jason often, like just a little bit ago when he went to run with knee socks pulled up almost passed his knees. Oh so hot. So without question the quinoa just could not be avoided.
Whaa?! Very cool! And love that it's green too
Yeah I was buying some HM dish towels and the lady behind the counter just gave it to Casey along with a ton of HM stickers. She was in heaven.
I really enjoyed BOG for lunch. The atmosphere is amazeballs, I thought. My DH thought it was "ok"
and hesitates to go back since there are so many other places we haven't tried yet. That line though,
I do like eating in the castle, just wish the beast would pay his lighting bill so it wasn't so dang dark in there
I want it! Perfection in a waffle!
You and me both!!!!!!
