Awww man!! I have been thinking of the pot roast one. It is such a great idea, you think they would execute it better.
All caught up now! I am sorry you started to not feel well. It does sound like the appetizers at CG are the way to go, FF Chefs Table looked amazing and I am intrigued by the chocolate wine. I love snacking around World Showcase and you made some great choices!
I've had so much fun reading your report! The chefs table @ FF & your Epcot snacks!!! Yay! I've taken notes for must trys. Also....those sleepy hollow ice cream cookie sandwiches are one of my favorite things on the planet!!! Simple, perfection.
I'm getting caught up here and now it's over! I also hope the general decline in the quality of the dining for most noon-signatures isn't a sign of the new normal. Darn if it's not bad enough to pay $16+ for a burger at most sit downs and not really enjoy it.
I'm in agreement with you about the CA Grill bread. Bring back the old sourdough - it was perfect! Sorry you weren't feeling so well for that meal. I'm a fan of the pork dish so I hope they haven't messed with that to make it just meh now.
Snacking around Epcot is definitely something that I'm looking forward to doing one day with no ADR plans. I'm glad you mentioned the China potstickers and egg rolls since those have not been on my radar but are a nice departure from anything you can get in that park.
After seeing the R&C menu I'm a little nervous about the entrees. We are booked there for a CP package for lunch. If it wasn't the package, I'd be fine with an app and dessert but since it includes an entree I just don't see anything that stands out. Maybe I'll try your oft ordered bangers and mash.
Sorry to see your trip end but March isn't that far away!
Sorry you didn't go out on a great food note, though those scotch eggs and dessert look divine. Totally agree on the general decline of some of the restaurants. We still have some favorite non signature places,but they are definitely getting harder to find.
Sounds like things are already shaping up nicely for your March trip. Can't wait to eat along with you and your son again
Awe I am sad your review is over but was so happy to be along for your dining adventures! I agree 100% about a decline in some of the dining. I saw that first hand this week! Happy planning for March
When is your trip? It's been a while, yes? Yes, too long, a year. We'll be back at Thanksgiving for 18 days. Em and her hubby are traveling with us. I'm just a little excited about that.
I have always really enjoyed R&C and hope we just had an off day. Nothing was bad, it just didn't live up to our previous trips. I get that. The last time I ordered the Scotch egg at R&C it just wasn't hot and fresh so not as good as I remembered it being when I was with you.
This was Andrew's first time trying the new pork dish. He loved the old version and said this one just didn't 'wow' him. I sampled yours on our trip and thought it was good so again, maybe an off night - for either the restaurant or Andrew!
With him being away at school, March seems like a really long time away! I know you know just how I feel!
I can imagine.... you want the time to go fast until March but then you want it to stand still when you are enjoying your time with your kid.
Happy planning for the next trip!
I wasn't planning on dining at Rose & Crown on my upcoming trip but after seeing Jay's bangers & mash and your chocolate bread pudding dessert, I am now looking at my dining schedule again.
Anyway, congrats on completing another great dining report! I'm glad we won't have to wait very long before the next one.
Hi, GoofySon'sMom !
I'm late to the party here, but I wanted to say that I really enjoyed all of your reviews ! Thanks for taking the time to post such great pics.
Going back to your original post, though, I have to ask if you would mind explaining what was so awful about your meal at BoG that made you switch to The Plaza instead ? We've yet to eat there, so I'm curious...
Thanks !
^ Thanks for the reply...
I'm sorry you had to experience what sounds like a truly dreadful meal in such an otherwise happy place.
BoG does indeed get a lot of mixed reviews. It sounds like they started out great, but maybe what has happened is since the place stays so incredibly packed ALL of the time the "suits" at Disney have decided to let the quality of food slide downhill. Sadly, we know this has happened many times before. (The Wave in the Contemporary comes to mind)
Still, this won't stop us from eventually going... (I'm dying just to SEE the inside of the place ) We'll just have to hope for the best.
Thanks again...
Sorry to see that your report is over, I must say I really enjoyed it!
