where did I leave off-
Eeyores face after reviewing the menu:
ok-so I was reallllly looking forward to this dinner by the way.
and the best news is that yes- the skillet is available on the DDP-
forgot to mention that Eeyores eyes and spirit lit up when he found out about the endless Milkshakes- out of all the wacky flavors they offered including cotton candy- he settled for good old faithful Vanilla
DH got a Chocolate Milkshake- he can never resist a milkshake!
Me- I caved and got one too- Vanilla of course! and it was really good- thick and creamy and not sickingly sweet- but filling- so be warned if you plan to feast- see maybe this is WCC's plan- fill em up with endless Milkshakes and maybe they wont refill their skillet!
then they brought out the corn bread- also thumbs up and I love the whipped butter cause just in case there weren't enough calories and fat in the milkshake and corn bread alone!
so far dinner off to a great start- no funny antics at our table- although i watched with envy as the other tables donned their homemade napkin hats stuffed with straws! looked like they were all having a great time.
now on to the best part- and I have PICS!!!! ( meanwhile is it just me- or do they serve you super super fast in the TS restaurants- I guess they need to get you in, fill you up and get you on your merry way to make room for next ADR's- oh well no complaining here)
They brought out Eeyores Mac & Cheese too which came with 2 neat sides- watermelon and Worms in Dirt.
ahhh the Skillet- looked just as good in person as on the pics I had seen and oogled over on the Dis boards.
Dh needs to have patience and please let me photograph the food before we touch! lol
ok- reviews- chicken was just good- not over the top- but who needs chicken when theres shrimp and ribs!
ribs were excellent- really loved em- we ordered refills on these- as well as the shrimp- which were also excellent-wow I am getting hungry!
BBQ sauce was super yummy- dipped everything in it- they give you seperate pots of it so you dont have to worry about sharing....
Mashed potatoes were great- and I loved the cole slaw- DH liked the potates too but wasnt a fan of the cole-slaw- oh well can't win em all.
Beans were ok- they made for a good side dish- I didnt eat to many of them as I was thoroughly enjoying my ribs-
and then I was snapped out of my food heaven when I heard the very familiar phrase "Mom, this mac & cheese is no good" ugh I new as soon as it came out that he wasn't going to like it- but I didn't say anything ...oh well- Initiation into the Meal Exchange program- only in Disney- I assure you- cause there was no way I was leaving there with a hungry child- so Moe was super kind and suggested the Cheeseburger- and brought one out in literally 2 minutes- insane!
Back to Skillet- only thing I didnt try was the corn- I was sooooo stuffed and always save veggies for last...heehee- but DH ate and said it was good- had a nice flavor...
and then guess what- yup- cheeseburger was gross- according to Eeyore- so then we all do the stupid taste test- "tastes fine to me" says DH, "this is terrific" says me...this kid-I tell ya... so I give up- and he ends up just eating his watermelon and Worms in Dirt- so healthy!
we were pretty stuffed and asked moe if we could just hang out for a few before they bombarded us with the mandatory dessert- I cant beleive they make you order desserts with every meal on the DDP- ( just joking for all the DDP newbies)
We people/table watched all the ketchup making their way from table to table and the big blue crayon! this was a lot of fun- and then they called all the kids up to have hobby horse race- Eeyore of course did not partake- and then it was a cute little girls b'day- so they called all men- under 8 years old to her table- to sing Happy b'day to her- then the waitress says - "now all the boys need to give her a B'day Kiss!" the looks on the boys faces were priceless- and the little girl almost died!
hmmmm. dessert time- my favorite part of the meal- I really was full- but like I said- they wont let you leave unless you order dessert- or at least thats how I interpreted the DDP rules-
I ordered the Vanilla Ice cream- cinnamon caramel thingy- cant remember the actual name- but guess what- I have a pic to show ya:
it was very nice- the ice-cream and cinnamon caramel make a nice complement to each other- I could only eat a few bites- enough to get the full effect of the flavor- and the triangle cookie thingys were great too- I would recommend this dessert- if you are not in the mood for choclatey stuff ( which is rare for me)
Dh got the bourbon/whiskey ( cant remember which one) Chocolate Cake and he could barely eat it- I didn't taste- but he said it was good and wished he had room for more.
No dessert for Eeyore- I cut him off after the worms in dirt- god knows he did not need one more ounce of junk in that belly of his!
so my wcc dinner was sadly coming to an end- but not until the whole restaurant had to get up and do the Hokey Pokey- and guess what- Eeyore actually got up and got into it- and had fun! look pics:
this was the part when you had to "put your backside in, you put your backside in ,then you do the hokey pokey and you turn yourself around....." you know the rest- and you will probably be singing that for the rest of the night! ( btw- the pic below was not my table- i dont know who they were and I apologize for posting pics which I am sure were not of their most flattering side!)
so there you have it- I would highly recommend this restaurant and definitely make ADR's - and when you check in make sure you ask for the main dining area- cause thats where all the fun is- and hopefully you will get one of the fun waiters/waitresses- even though ours was not into the antics- he was still a great server and super attentive. I am definitely going back on the next trip!
coming tomorrow-re-arranged ADR's- Orig booked Kona for 7:45 am breakfast and realized could do Captain Cooks instead- cause all we cared about was... you guessed it- TONGA TOAST! cant wait (first time)also popcorn, Pinocchio Haus/house? can you guess why- yup- figaro fries- and this would be my first ever encounter with them too ( wow lots of firsts on this trip-thanks dis boards)..also had ADR's that we bailed on/canceled for Tony's ( tooo many bad reviews lately- but strangely enough had eaten there a ton of times before and always had good meal- but heres the deal- at this point I had HDDR booked and it took 2 TS's so not wanting to pay out of pocket I figured Tony's was the one I was least looking forward to)so we did Cosmic Rays for Dinner instead...
till manana- night!
