Okay, so, when I started this review didn't I say it was going to be a quick one? We were only there for three days! And here it is, one month after the trip (why does it feel like so much LONGER?
) and I haven't finished the report yet? How can I keep you all hanging? Well, I'm going to fix that problem now! This was our last day
and after we had breakfast at the Bakery we headed to Frontierland to play around. We did most of the park and at lunch time headed to our favorite place, Pecos Bill's Tall Tale in and Cafe.
There were MASSIVE lines to place your order, but I remembered about the self-serve order kiosks. They weren't running when we were there in September, so I was curious to try them out. They are all the way to the left of the check out lines, and there are only four of them. We get there and three were empty - I guess everyone else thought it'd be way more fun to wait online for twenty minutes!
This was so convenient! You can't pay with cash here, though, only credit cards or KTTW/DDP cards. Touch what you want on the screen, swipe your card, and your order is sent to the CMs behind the counter. The best part is no feeling pressured to order quickly because the people behind you are giving you dirty looks for not ordering at the speed of light!
DH and I both had the quarter pound cheeseburger.
DH's is the complete mess in the forground. He just loves that fixin's bar!!! The burgers were delish, as usual. They are typical theme park burgers and fries. But, you know, that just always hits the spot at Disney. I have to say, though, that the fries were not as crispy as usual that day, so I didn't eat much of them. And I noticed that the hot, melted cheese is now back at the toppings bar - they had taken it away awhile back and you had to specifically ask for it at the counter where you got your food, but this trip, it was back right next to the ketchup.
All in all, it's good food. Not gourmet, but it's just fast food. It's our favorite place to eat in the MK, followed closely by Columbia Harbor House. But the two offer such different CS food, that it's really dependant on what you're in the mood for that day.
2 Cheeseburger meals $12.18
1 Med Lemondade $2.09
1 Med Coke $2.09
Tax $1.06
Total $17.42
Now, we skipped on one of our favorite things at Pecos Bill's this go around - the Peanut Butter Brownie dessert. My God, is that thing good. Even I love it, and I cannot stand chocolate. But we had our sites set on something much more important. Ice cream from the Plaza Ice Cream Parlor!
We both went with a double scoop of Edy's Toll House Cookie Dough Swirl. We love this stuff! We used to get gallons of it every week at the grocery store up here - until they stopped selling it. We still go in every week and look in the freezer section to see if by some small miracle it's back, but it hasn't happened yet. Anyway, the only place we can still get this yummy goodness is at WDW, so we have to make sure we stop at least once every trip. It was as good as ever, but I was so full from lunch that I wished I had just gotten the single scoop. Why are my eyes always bigger than my stomach?
The total for the two of us came to $7.86. From there we shopped our way down Main Street, headed to DTD to do some last minute shopping and then headed back to the BWV to catch the Magical Express to the airport. Isn't that the most depressing feeling in the world? I always tear up just a bit. And it didn't help that we got to the airport to find that our flight had been delayed an hour and a half. That is extra time we could have spent at Disney. Why don't they alert you if your flight is delayed?
Well, I hope you've all enjoyed my report, and if you have any questions, feel free to ask! And look for the report I'll be doing after our 10 day trip in mid October! Seven and a half LONG months from now...
Thanks for reading!
