Following along here (albeit a tad late) as well as Kathy's PJ!
Just wanted to comment that yes, Franks is named after Father of the Bride and it is on purpose. We are very much looking forward to the wedding. I'm not sure if Mary will do a TR but for anyone interested I have been working on a Planning Journal that goes over everything for the wedding (you'll see more wedding details than just the food), and I will be doing on there. There is a link to it in my signature!
I love how they give you the options for cake and icing. So much easier to mix and match yourself vs them making a variety of little cakes with all the flavour combinations.
yum! yum! yum! We are staying at the Poly this September! You are making me HUNGRY!
I'm really loving reading all about the wedding planning, it sounds like so much fun

Following along! I loved the review of the wedding stuff! Maybe I can talk my daughter into a WDW wedding. She's 4 so I've got some time.
Wow, the wedding planning all looks amazing. I think your "tasting" had more food than some other full weddings I've been too ; ) I'm presuming the tasting comes with the wedding price, but figured I'd ask so I can start putting away for my daughters wedding in 30 years. And how cool they can replicate items from F&W or whatever you'd like. Really allows you to make the wedding your own.
Everything from the tasting looks amazing! It looks like it will be a spectacular wedding.
Really hope you do a TR for the wedding!

Really enjoying your review! Especially the in depth look at the Poly and the wedding planning.
Following along-
Thanks! Started reading last night and plan to catch up later today. It's the first PJ I'll be following even though I'm late
I wonder if we ate at that gelato place in Florence.....the pictures I took of the 2 gelato places in Florence were rather blurry. I'm going to have to google this place and see if it's one we visited. We spent 3.5 weeks on a Rick Steves tour and Florence was one of our favorite cities.Okay all, we are now back to our regularly scheduled programming. Our travels next take us to the oft-dreaded Downtown Disney for a lively dinner. We, like many others, had not been to Downtown Disney in some time. There has just been so much construction in that area it hasn’t been worth the nightmare of parking, etc. However, we had heard one of the garages was open, making getting in and out easier. The last time we ate at Raglan Road it was very good, and my dad still talks about the Dalkey Duo, so we decided to give it a whirl and made an ADR for 7pm.Vivoli il Gelato is an Italian gelato shop out of Florence, Italy. I had heard of this well-known gelato shop and was very excited when Disney Food Blog revealed it would be opening a 2nd American location in Disney Springs. We did not go to the real one when we were actually in Florence last year, so I was pretty excited to walk by and find it open!
We left for Downtown Disney between 4:30 and 5:00 to ensure we had plenty of time to make it for dinner. Plus, it would give us some time to look around at all the new additions. I am happy to report that the garage worked out very well and we were parked and in the shopping area less than 20 minutes
We had to walk off some of our dinner before we could get dessert. After checking out the co-op and a few other shops, we found ourselves at a brand new spot to end the evening.
I'm going to follow too, late to the party! You're special day will be soon after we leave.Just wanted to comment that yes, Franks is named after Father of the Bride and it is on purpose.

I keep seeing pictures of the Avocado Margarita and I think I'll be trying this in Nov! Margarita isn't my first choice of mixed drink but I certainly don't pass one up that often.......I do like Avocado. Just sounds like it would taste weird as a drink!
Great review so far!
Awesome reviews! The Polynesian looks so nice after all the refurbishments! I want to stay there again so bad.
I really want to try Raglan Road now - looks delicious!
I am now craving the avocado margarita, I loooove that thing!! Holy cow $250 a pour for tequila!! No thanks
I'm following too......dying to hear your review of Cali Grill. I've been hearing not so great things of late. We loved it right before they closed for renovations......and now I'm thinking I should switch it out for something else, even a different signature.
Excited to read your reviews.....didn't you wear Cardinal's gear in previous reports?
