Love the pictures of Emme's Frozen Birthday party. Happy Belated Birthday to her!
The F&W food you tried looked so good, especially the ravioli.

thank you!!
emme's dad is dutch.
the frozen items are so limited. the local party stores were out for weeks so i started to search online.
plates locally were $2.04 for a pack of 8 but ebay was selling them for $8.00+. it was nuts!
but i did some hunting and found the items for the regular price. it was exhausting!
block & hans was awesome...i love that place!! and yes, i agree...the brunch was amazing. yummy!!
thank you so much!!
the ravioli was yummy...wish i could've ate more but emme ate the majority of it. i actually made an attempt to go back to italy but man, traversing the crowd was next to impossible!

That is too funny about the "I tried it" sticker for mussels 
I've never had Ethiopian food! That's one of things I'm looking forward to, an easy (well maybe not that easy if there are crazy long lines!
) way of sampling different (to me) foods. Well, that, and the refreshing beverages

as usual..your reviews and photos amaze me.
I LOVE them all..
Emma's birthday party was wonderful..please wish her a belated Happy Birthday from all of us on the Restaurant board..
We (being from the north) ..love Canadian cheddar cheese soup...but nothing ever compares to Le Celliers version.
Thanks so much AGAIN ..for great reviews and photos

i always try and tie in f&w with MNSSHP but last year, that was a mistake. epcot was a total disaster as it was so crowded. it made the festival so stressful but i managed some good bites of food.

i love me some ethiopian food! one of the things about going with emme is that she doesn't share the food with me. so i'm left to eating all the food myself. i normally wouldn't complain but there's just so much to eat & i don't have enough room for it. i don't waste the food (unless it's terrible) & i normally eat the entire portion. it's always better to go with someone who will share with you...makes it more fun too!
you are alawys so nice...thank you!!
i let her know happy birthday and she replied in her grown up voice, "but my birthday was last month, mom".
well excuse me emme!
that cheese soup was so good...i could go for a bowl right now.

food & wine part 2
we continued our walk & came upon the motherland.
i was very apprehensive with the kimchi dog. i love kimchi. i love everything about kimchi. and i'm not gonna lie...kimchi is an acquired taste & not for everyone. i figured this would be a watered down version of kimchi but i was so curious with the kimchi dog that i had to order it.
Kimchi Dog with Spicy Mustard Sauce - $3.75
and to my surprise & amazement, this kimchi dog was actually quite good. the actual hot dog portion tasted like kimchi & had a bit of heat to it. the coleslaw was a nice accompaniment that cooled down the heat from the spice of the hot dog. given, in no way does it taste like the kimchi i eat but for something produced for the masses, i thought it was really well done. this was my second favorite bite of food from the festival. i only wished they gave me the entire hot god. two bites and the thing was gone.
we made it to mexico & stopped by to say hello to one of our favorite furry friends.
donald was so stinkin cute in his outfit. we always get the best photos with donald & he is such an awesome character meet & greet. i've yet to meet a grumpy donald. we finished with world showcase as we finally reached mexico. i wanted to give world showcase a little break & explore epcot some more.
we made it over to innoventions & after some games & enjoying the air conditioning, we got our chase visa picture taken.
to those not familiar with the chase visa meet & greet: if you have a chase bank or credit account & have your debit or credit card, head over to innoventions for an exclusive meet & greet. you are given a voucher which gives you a FREE 5x7 picture at the character meeting. the characters are either mickey/pluto/minnie/goofy in a pair. you are allowed one voucher per day. this is a FANTASTIC deal as everything is so ridiculously expensive at disney that something FREE is a deal you cannot pass up!
we continued the meet & greet at the epcot character spot.
after the character meet & greets, i decided to try world showcase one last time. emme asked for the ravioli but it would be a herculean task to make it back over to italy. i used the same strategy as before...approach any booth with a somewhat short line.
up first:
and my choice:
Trickn Chickn Curry with Basmati Rice featuring Gardein Chickn Breast - $3.75
i really wanted to like this but the entree was cold. whenever i make a veggie pattie, i like to pan fry mine so it's crispy on the outside. the gardein chicken patty was cold which made it obvious that it really wasn't chicken (does that make sense?). the curry had a very mild flavor but it definitely wasn't memorable. emme ate all the basmati rice & sadly enough, the basmati rice was the best part of the snack.
we continued our walk through the ridiculous crowd. how ridiculous you ask?
this ridiculous:
and this wasn't even crowded compared to other parts of world showcase!
the next booth with a "short" line was:
i chose 2 options from brazil:
Seared Scallop with Ragout of Tomatoes, Peppers, Hearts of Palm and Steamed Rice
note that this was suppose to be a "seared" scallop. there was nothing seared about this scallop at all. however, the scallop was a nice size for the price. there was certainly a quality control on this day at f&w...too many people wanting to stuff their faces & therefore, food wasn't prepared correctly, i can't comment on the taste of the non-seared scallop as emme decided to pull back the canopy of the jogging stroller and the entire scallop dish fell on the floor. everything happened in slow motion...and i said 'NOOOOOOOOOO' as the scallop fell to the floor.
good thing i had a second option:
Crispy Pork Belly with Black Beans, Onions, Avocado and Cilantro - $5.25,
again, there was quality issues with this dish. the pork belly was cold as was the black beans. i love pork belly & the fat of the pork belly does unappetizing things when it turns cold. the meat turns tough (kind of like jerky) & it does not have a nice mouth feel. the black beans were flavorful & emme enjoyed it with the rice. black beans & rice is one of her favorite things to eat.
brazil...you get two thumbs down from me. i'm willing to give brazil another try this year but there was nothing memorable about both these dishes...other than the fact that my scallop plummeted to the ground, uneaten.
my next stop was australia (sorry, no menu photo).
i chose:
Garlic Shrimp with Roasted Tomatoes, Lemon Myrtle and Rapini - $4.50
the shrimp was nice & large. they were perfectly cooked & very tender. however, the rapini was the most god awful thing i have ever tasted in my life. it was putrid. i have no idea how they cooked it but it was overly bitter & absolutely disgusting. i actually had to spit it out and rinse my mouth out with water. i was pretty sad about the rapini & australia overall as last year the booth had my favorite bite with the lamb & potato crunchies.
i paired my shrimp with a refreshing beverage:
Rosemount Estate Pinot Grigio $2.50
i decided that i needed another beer to remove the memory of the rapini from my mouth.
there was no wait at the window and i was happy to have a semi-decent beer.
Sam Adams Seasonal Beer
we continued our dreadful walk through world showcase (it was so packed!) & made a stop to see the drummers in japan.
italy was slammed so no ravioli for emme.
we continued our walk in the hunt for our next snack. where did we stop next???

Awesome pics!
Emme's birthday pics look great! I always throw big birthday's for my kids also. It's so much work but so worth it at the end.
Love F&W pics. I have to plan a F&W trip one of these days.

wow, that's crowded. The caballeros donald duck is too cute. Nice reviews as always
thank you!
it was pretty crowded. it just sucks that i have to go on a weekend as that's when it's the most crowded.
agreed! lots of work but totally worth it.
you will love f&w.
thank you for joining in!
there was just too many people on this day and the quality of the food really suffered. i love pork belly but cold fat is not my idea of an appetizing bite of food.
i'm glad one of us got some decent pork belly.

after the drummers in japan, we continued our walk & emme wanted a refreshing snack.
it was our first trip here & there were so many decisions. i don't have much of a sweet tooth & i left it up to a 3 year old to pick her flavors. she specifically wanted "two scoops"
and emme's choices were:
Strawberry sorbet & vanilla
unfortunately, emme did not like the sorbet, so it looked like i would be eating a single scoop of sorbet.
the strawberry sorbet wasn't too sweet and it was actually quite refreshing. i loved the smooth texture of it. i enjoyed it.
she was enjoying her vanilla in the waffle cone.
after the snack, we made our way to test track!
our sweet ride
emme LOVED test track & it was an awesome time.
after the ice cream, we headed to sunshine seasons as emme said she was hungry. ice cream before dinner...i'm mom of the year!
and we got her staples:
mashed potatoes:
i had to pick out all the chives....fun!
and of course, white rice.
after her dinner, emme wanted to say hi to a friend:
BRUCE THE SHARK!
overall, despite it being ridiculously packed at food & wine, i did manage to eat some pretty tasty things. there were quite a few food items that i wished i could have tried but i guess there is next year. when we go this food & wine, i might have to attend end of september or early october. i'm hoping the crowds won't be as crazy (but that's probably not going to happen).
my favorite food bites were the kimchi slaw dog from south korea & the berbere beef from africa. both plates surprised the heck out of me & was chock full of flavor. two thumbs up from me!
the worst bite of food? the putrid rapini. it was disgusting. yuck!
i will be at disney for my longest trip yet...9 days & eight nights in march & flower and garden will be happening. i am so excited to be able to attend again & even more excited that i will be eating real food instead of the salads that i've been eating as i am "dieting".

HOLLYWOOD & VINE LUNCH PART 1
emme & i made our way to DHS in our matching & expandable tutus. DHS isn't really known for the food & i was taking a leap of faith and booked an ADR @ hollywood & vine *gasp*.
we rode TSM with our FP+ & explored DHS a bit. it was a pretty warm day and we had an early adr for lunch at h&v. we made our way for lunch.
emme did really well!
i had absolutely no expectations for lunch (this seems to be my best strategy to avoid mass disappointment while dining at disney). i've read some horror stories but i've also read some really nice reviews of the place. when we arrived, i was happy to be sitting in air conditioning.
we were seated in an area where characters were already making their pass. i absolutely hate it when this happens. i didn't even get my drink order in when this friend stopped by:
special agent oso (does anyone still watch this commercial? i know he has been replaced with doc mcstuffins now!)
soon thereafter, another friend stopped by:
yo ho let's go!
onwards to the food:
i was really surprised at the variety of the buffet. there were so many different things to chose from & the items were so different from chef mickey's, akershus, boma & 1900 pf.
some buffet pictures:
there was also a make your own pasta station as well:
i was pretty overwhelmed with the choices...there was so many of them.
my first plate:
my plate was a bit of a hot mess. i wanted to sample a little bit of everything. i can honestly say that i enjoyed everything on my plate. surprised??
and i was over the moon with the lobster macaroni & cheese? want to know why?
LOOK at the chunk of lobster in the mac & cheese. there was a lot of lobster tucked away in the very cheesey mac & cheese. i also loved the corkscrew shape of the pasta. i literally had 3 helpings of this & had a whole bunch of lobster in the process. definite winner in my book.
after indulging in the lobster mac & cheese, i got another plate:
that is bean cassoulet on my plate....it's missing slabs of bacon but hey, bean cassoulet at hollywood & vine. pretty fancy.
emme of couse, had her staples of bread, fruit & mashed potatoes. i went to the make your own pasta section and ordered her some fettucine alfredo.
i loved the shape of the pasta & it was really good. emme enjoyed it very much.
during the meal, some CM come out & have a dance party with the kids. they sing live and this happens FREQUENTLY. lots of singing, lots of sugared up kids running around & dancing....
what else did we manage to eat?? thank goodness our tutus were expandable...part 2 coming up soon!

I really enjoyed the kimchi dog too!
Bummer about the cold pork belly --- we really liked that dish, but I can see how having cold pork belly would be a little bit:
I just reviewed our breakfast a H&V -- not so great! But the lunch looks better!!
i love me some pork belly but served cold...it's just not very appetizing.
i'm sorry your breakfast wasn't very good. we are giving it a try in march so that emme can see doc mcstuffins.
i really enjoyed lunch. part 2 of my review will have pictures of the chocolate fountain.
i'm "dieting" until my trip in march. i can't wait to stuff my face.

continuing my h&v lunch review....
here is another plate of food. i was attempting to try everything but the lobster mac & cheese in my belly was making this difficult.
emme loves "little einsteins" especially when she was about 2 years old. it's probably one of my favorite cartoons on the planet. i love how they incorporate art & classical music for the kids & make learning fun. so she was pretty excited to see june.
emme showed june her ballet skills. it was really cute as they were both doing ballet together.
emme & june!!
after the pictures, we made our way to the dessert section. i'm not much into desserts but emme said she would like some ice cream.
chocolate fountain.
i did sample the cheesecake and it was delicious. i love how the fruit wasn't syrupy and it was very fresh.
we never got to see handy manny but they made sure we got to see him on our way out.
overall, i really enjoyed our lunch at h&v. our server was very efficient & the food was pretty good for the most part. i loved the variety & i especially loved the lobster mac & cheese.
i'm glad the characters are getting an overhaul and now doc mcstuffins & sofia the first will be in attendance. emme & i will be having lunch again next month during out day at DHS & i am pretty excited to see doc & be reunited with my mac & cheese.
afterwards, we continued our day at DHS:
emme & i collect the pressed pennies. kinda lame but i love finding designs i don't have.
working for her penny!
and one of my favorite meet & greets:
this picture makes me happy!
this post is missing one thing:
BEER!

sadly, our time at disney was coming to a close. my trips to disney are usually weekend trips so time flies by.
we continued on our day at DHS...
watching the disney jr. show for the 100th time. you know you have seen this show too much when your daughter recognizes the only human in the show. "look mom, it's casey!" <---and she was correct.
emme & i will be at disneyland in august (yay!)
we had to bid DHS adieu & i had one more place i wanted to eat. after all the food at h&v, i was hungry.
looks like someone was sad our trip was almost over....that's ok because i feel that way on the inside.
our last stop was:
we made it for dinner which means i would be able to get the buttered chicken. the buttered chicken is only offered during dinner time.
i love the QS at AOA. i especially love it because you truly save 20% using your TIW card & the food has always been really good. AOA is really close to DHS and it was a perfect last stop before our dreaded drive home.
some other options are:
for dinner, emme chose:
proper duck facing.
and for my dinner, i happily chose:
Buttered chicken with cauliflower & saag paneer + naan
close up of the buttered chicken.
i really love indian flavors & i am so happy that this is an option at disney without having to drive to AKL & eating at sanaa. the buttered chicken wasn't traditional but it had great flavor. it sure beat eating a hamburger with french fries. my only complaint was that it wasn't piping hot. i like my hot food to be piping hot.
the paneer was delicious!
and a close up shots of my dipping sauces:
some interior shots:
so what does $15.00 get you at landscape of flavors?
a whole bunch of food! with the TIW it's a super duper deal. i love it!
this dinner wrapped up our october trip to disney. i got the disney blues when i returned home. our time at disney seems to go by so quickly but i cherish all the moments i have with emme. we had an absolute blast & ate some pretty delicious things & not so delicious things on this trip.
we took a disney break in november but returned for 1.5 days for some DISmeets & MVMCP. i couldn't stay very long as i had final exams starting on monday.

watching the disney jr. show for the 100th time. you know you have seen this show too much when your daughter recognizes the only human in the show. "look mom, it's casey!" <---and she was correct.
emme & i will be at disneyland in august (yay!)
we had to bid DHS adieu & i had one more place i wanted to eat. after all the food at h&v, i was hungry.
looks like someone was sad our trip was almost over....that's ok because i feel that way on the inside.
our last stop was:
we made it for dinner which means i would be able to get the buttered chicken. the buttered chicken is only offered during dinner time.
i love the QS at AOA. i especially love it because you truly save 20% using your TIW card & the food has always been really good. AOA is really close to DHS and it was a perfect last stop before our dreaded drive home.
some other options are:
for dinner, emme chose:
proper duck facing.
and for my dinner, i happily chose:
Buttered chicken with cauliflower & saag paneer + naan
close up of the buttered chicken.
i really love indian flavors & i am so happy that this is an option at disney without having to drive to AKL & eating at sanaa. the buttered chicken wasn't traditional but it had great flavor. it sure beat eating a hamburger with french fries. my only complaint was that it wasn't piping hot. i like my hot food to be piping hot.
the paneer was delicious!
and a close up shots of my dipping sauces:
some interior shots:
so what does $15.00 get you at landscape of flavors?
a whole bunch of food! with the TIW it's a super duper deal. i love it!
this dinner wrapped up our october trip to disney. i got the disney blues when i returned home. our time at disney seems to go by so quickly but i cherish all the moments i have with emme. we had an absolute blast & ate some pretty delicious things & not so delicious things on this trip.
we took a disney break in november but returned for 1.5 days for some DISmeets & MVMCP. i couldn't stay very long as i had final exams starting on monday.
