Enjoying your reviews so far Paula...and following your comments on Barb's DR, I'm eagerly anticipating your YSH review!
We're staying at SSR in August. It's the first time for us - have you stayed there before?
It will probably be a few weeks before I get to the tale of our YSH adventure. Brenda's will actually be the one fully telling of the experience and she will likely post it before I do.
Hi Paula, I am finally emerging out of lurkdom to comment on a dining thread.
Excited that you chose to do a dining report over a TR. That's a bummer about Hunter's luggage but you have a great attitude and glad it didn't derail things too much. Anyway, looking forward to reading along.
Welcome out of lurkdom Pam! I'm still kind-of doing it as a trip report but decided I wanted it on the Dining Boards
I've seen so much of you in others' reports that it's high time I join in on yours! Going back to read, can't wait!
Welcome Tracy! Yes, it is probably kind of weird having 3 dining reports going for the same meals but we all have our own thoughts and opinions on the meals! Plus some that we did not do together.
I regret not taking Michael to RR but I can only fit so many meals into the days we were there! YeeHa Bob is still on my must try list! Those cheese fritters look good. Are they like a fried cheese nugget or what's the inside like?
You just have to come back in October lol! I know... I haven't even started planning meals for October... I think half will be in Epcot lol.
The Cheese Fritters were a Pimento Cheese so it was kind of creamy on the inside with the crispy outside.
I'm here! Great start so far. I remember hearing about the luggage issue on FB. Hope it all gets worked out soon.
I am so going to try Paradiso again next year. I have been there before but it's been quite awhile. I may need to budget for drinks. Good golly those looked big and great!
Welcome Jamie! Thanks for stopping by! The Drinks were BIG! I don't think they were terribly strong but I'm not sure if that is typical for there or not. Or maybe I was just in denial of the strength.
Your Go Fig salad looks delicious, I know I would love this. Also the cheese fritters yum!
I LOVE that salad and the previous version as well! It's hard for me to get something else!
Yikes, that suitcase incident is unbelievable! Glad to hear it didn't completely get you down and that you had some good opening meals.
Haven't tried Paradiso 37 yet, but Raglan has almost always left me feeling satisfied.
Welcome Mr. DDW! I was also happy that the opening meals were good especially as we have some that don't fall into that category coming up soon.
The luggage is something else! Hoping to get an update on the other items soon!
We have only eaten at RR for lunch and I have wondered about the entertainment. Booked us for dinner this trip. How was the music?
Now Yea-haw Bob is presenting me with a problem. He isn't around most of the nights that would work for us. Right now I would have to change our Cali Grill dinner in order to see him. I will keep peeking at reservations to see if I can maybe swap Cali with RR and then we can head over to POR!
We enjoyed the music and the dancing. I know they have different bands on different nights.
Yes, YeeHa Bob is only there Weds-Sat and I'm thinking he may not be there the Fri/Sat you will be there.
Raglan Road remains my favorite DTD restaurant and since I usually only go to DTD once each trip (if at all), it makes it difficult to try other restaurants there, like Paradiso. So I like your idea of having just appetizers and then doing both in one day.
I regret that I've never made it over to POR to catch a Yehaa Bob show. If my DH ends up joining me at the end of my October trip then I'm definitely going to fit it into the schedule. This seems like something he would really enjoy, plus he's always complaining that he's done everything there is to do at WDW.
My plan wasn't originally for just appetizers at both but thats the way it worked out this time! I was very happy with our choices though. Next time I may make us get going earlier so the meals can be spread out more. The original plan was 11am lunch and 5pm dinner. It ended up being 1pm lunch and then no room in the stomach for a real dinner.
Take your husband on a tour! Hunter loved the railroad one. Have you been to La Nouba? I'm sure there is still lots to do!
Hello! I'm here to start reading!! Looking forward to your reviews!
Welcome! Hopefully more up soon!
Love your review so far. You two are the cutest couple. POR looks so serene and pretty. I can't believe what happened to his luggage. That is just crazy. Can't wait to read more!
Thank you! Thats what we love about POR and why I am nervous about SSR. We really love the trees and there are not many of those at SSR.
