36. Butterfinger Cupcake - Starring Rolls
37. Marble Cupcake - Starring Rolls
38. Chocolate Peanut Butter Cupcake - Starring Rolls
39. Red Velvet Cupcake - Starring Rolls
40. Carrot Cake Cookie - Writer's Stop
41. Grapefruit Cake - Hollywood Brown Derby
42. Sterling Silver Pork Seared Tenderloin - Hollywood Brown Derby
43. Cobb Salad - Hollywood Brown Derby
44. Milkshake - Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater
45. Angus Chuck Burger - Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater
46. Aunt Liz's Golden Fried Chicken - 50's Prime Time Cafe
47. Dad's Traditional Meatloaf - 50's Prime Time Cafe
48. Mom's Old Fashioned Pot Roast - 50's Prime Time Cafe
49. Peanut Butter and Jelly Milkshake - 50s Prime Time Cafe
50. Dad's Electric Lemonade - Tune-In Lounge @ 50's PTC
51. Chicken Curry - ABC Commisary

55. Grilled Veggie Sandwich - Backlot Express

Hmmm, I haven't had too many from this list. I'm counting #47, even though that's what Shane ordered and I only had a bite! I'm hoping to try either the Butterfinger or Chocolate Peanut Butter cupcake on our trip... I could go for both, but I know I'll need help eating one. So it will probably be whichever flavor Shane would like to try.

Which of these DHS foods have you had?

 

[kansasdisneygal]

I plan on trying the Red Velvet cupcake, a milkshake from 50's Prime Time, and I'm thinking the Fried Chicken from 50's Prime Time here in about 2 weeks! May have to try another of the cupcakes on our 2nd HS day. So excited! Love these lists you are posting!

 

[jenneth79]

I like this game!

Let's see....

36. Butterfinger Cupcake - Starring Rolls - Soooo good.
37. Marble Cupcake - Starring Rolls
38. Chocolate Peanut Butter Cupcake - Starring Rolls
39. Red Velvet Cupcake - Starring Rolls
40. Carrot Cake Cookie - Writer's Stop
41. Grapefruit Cake - Hollywood Brown Derby
42. Sterling Silver Pork Seared Tenderloin - Hollywood Brown Derby
43. Cobb Salad - Hollywood Brown Derby - Kind of "meh" for me. Too much dressing, really.

****Cut the rest since I haven't tried any*****

Hands down the Butterfinger Cupcake is a must try in the parks... but make sure you share!

 

[ash-n-brensmom]

Oh yeah, I seriously want that red velvet cupcake!!!

 

[Nermel9]

I love this list! Here are the ones I've tried from DHS:

36. Butterfinger Cupcake - Starring Rolls
38. Chocolate Peanut Butter Cupcake - Starring Rolls
39. Red Velvet Cupcake - Starring Rolls
40. Carrot Cake Cookie - Writer's Stop
44. Milkshake - Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater
45. Angus Chuck Burger - Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater
52. Turkey Leg - Toluca Legs Turkey Co
53. Honey-Hazlenut & Ricotta Cheesecake - Mama Melrose's Ristorante

I don't think they have that cheesecake at Mama Melrose's anymore though, they have some chocolatey amaretto cheesecake now that is amazing! But it's cheesecake and it's at Mama Melrose's so I'm saying I've had it!

And the Chocolate Peanut butter cupcake is much better than the Butterfinger! The Butterfinger is awesome, but if you like peanut butter, get that one!

 

[silverhaze269]

These are the ones I've had...

41. Grapefruit Cake - Hollywood Brown Derby
43. Cobb Salad - Hollywood Brown Derby (SO GOOD!)
45. Angus Chuck Burger - Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater
46. Aunt Liz's Golden Fried Chicken - 50's Prime Time Cafe
48. Mom's Old Fashioned Pot Roast - 50's Prime Time Cafe (tried some of my Mom's)
49. Peanut Butter and Jelly Milkshake - 50s Prime Time Cafe (had a sip of my Dad's...I can't do milk or ice cream, so a sip is all I can/could have)
52. Turkey Leg - Toluca Legs Turkey Co (I had a bite of one)
54. Rosie's 1/3 lb Angus Onion Straw Cheddar Cheeseburger - Rosie's All-American Cafe

I could go to the Brown Derby and just order the cobb salad as an entree...in fact, maybe I'll do that in October...

 

[cbcrockett]

I'm slacking, because I haven't had ANYTHING off the DHS list ! I need to get on that! 3 weeks and some days, and I vow to eat as many of those cupcakes as I can possibly stand... In the name of reporting back to the Dis of course

 

[PryncessChrysty]

Based on my responses for this one and Epcot one, I think it's pretty clear that we REALLY like to eat at the World.

36. Butterfinger Cupcake - Starring Rolls
37. Marble Cupcake - Starring Rolls
38. Chocolate Peanut Butter Cupcake - Starring Rolls
39. Red Velvet Cupcake - Starring Rolls
40. Carrot Cake Cookie - Writer's Stop
41. Grapefruit Cake - Hollywood Brown Derby
42. Sterling Silver Pork Seared Tenderloin - Hollywood Brown Derby
43. Cobb Salad - Hollywood Brown Derby
44. Milkshake - Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater
45. Angus Chuck Burger - Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater
46. Aunt Liz's Golden Fried Chicken - 50's Prime Time Cafe
47. Dad's Traditional Meatloaf - 50's Prime Time Cafe
48. Mom's Old Fashioned Pot Roast - 50's Prime Time Cafe
49. Peanut Butter and Jelly Milkshake - 50s Prime Time Cafe
50. Dad's Electric Lemonade - Tune-In Lounge @ 50's PTC
51. Chicken Curry - ABC Commisary
52. Turkey Leg - Toluca Legs Turkey Co - Ewwwww...these things gross me out. They're so barbaric.
53. Honey-Hazlenut & Ricotta Cheesecake - Mama Melrose's Ristorante
54. Rosie's 1/3 lb Angus Onion Straw Cheddar Cheeseburger - Rosie's All-American Cafe
55. Grilled Veggie Sandwich - Backlot Express

One thing they should add to the list is the Spaghetti & Meatball cupcake from Mama Melrose. OMG, it is soooooo yummy! And it's one of those "secret" menu items like the PB&J shake from 50's (also super yummy).

Wow! I did even worse in DHS than in Epcot! This year I'm going to knock off at least one more -- one of the cupcakes from Starring Rolls. I've gotten their Tiramisu and eclairs but not the cupcakes!

 

[PixieMama]

I plan on trying the Red Velvet cupcake, a milkshake from 50's Prime Time, and I'm thinking the Fried Chicken from 50's Prime Time here in about 2 weeks! May have to try another of the cupcakes on our 2nd HS day. So excited! Love these lists you are posting!

I would seriously consider getting an ADR for 50sPTC just to get the PB&J milkshake! Hmmmmm...

Hands down the Butterfinger Cupcake is a must try in the parks... but make sure you share!

Definitely! The Red Velvet one I had was split between 3 people... and I'm not even sure we finished it!

Oh yeah, I seriously want that red velvet cupcake!!!

You'll love it!

 

[PixieMama]

And the Chocolate Peanut butter cupcake is much better than the Butterfinger! The Butterfinger is awesome, but if you like peanut butter, get that one!

Chocolate and peanut butter is a winning combination. Which is why I love Butterfingers. It's going to be a tough to decide between the 2! I don't know if we could manage to try both of them...

49. Peanut Butter and Jelly Milkshake - 50s Prime Time Cafe (had a sip of my Dad's...I can't do milk or ice cream, so a sip is all I can/could have)

But that one sip was pretty good, right?

I'm slacking, because I haven't had ANYTHING off the DHS list ! I need to get on that! 3 weeks and some days, and I vow to eat as many of those cupcakes as I can possibly stand... In the name of reporting back to the Dis of course

Eh, don't feel too bad... when one thinks of WDW yummies, I'm sure DHS isn't high on the list!

And the things we do for the DIS... I can see it now:

Shane: "You want another cupcake?!"

Me: "But I have to... it's for my for my Dining Report!"

 

[PixieMama]

Based on my responses for this one and Epcot one, I think it's pretty clear that we REALLY like to eat at the World.

One thing they should add to the list is the Spaghetti & Meatball cupcake from Mama Melrose. OMG, it is soooooo yummy! And it's one of those "secret" menu items like the PB&J shake from 50's (also super yummy).

LOL! I like to eat, too. I am so looking forward to stuffing my face... it's vacation, after all!

I had to look up the Spaghetti & Meatball cupcake... it sounds yummy.

Oh, and I don't think I'll ever try a turkey leg, either. Ewww, is right!

Wow! I did even worse in DHS than in Epcot! This year I'm going to knock off at least one more -- one of the cupcakes from Starring Rolls. I've gotten their Tiramisu and eclairs but not the cupcakes!

The fruit tart from Starring Rolls looks delicious, too!

 

[silverhaze269]

But that one sip was pretty good, right?

It was heaven

Sadly it will be the only sip I ever take of it because now I can't have peanut butter

In honor of Mother's Day, I thought it only fitting the Random WDW Photo of the Week should be one of my own mom!

Here she is with Mickey, taken during our "girls only" trip last summer:

Hope all the moms out there have a very Happy Mother's Day!

I'm like you, there are a few things i've had at the parks but not at the specific location mentioned- rice krispy, soft pretzil, etc, etc

I'm determined to knock a few off the list this trip!

 

[AuroraRose]

Hello! Making my rounds on the FB Groups PTR and I just read through yours! -Early- Congrats on 15 years, that's awesome! And what a perfect way to celebrate!

Shane does enjoy trips to WDW, but he has this strange idea that "there are other places to vacation than Disney World"!

What are these "other places" you speak of?? Glad all your ADRs worked out. Raglan Road is SO yummy, you're going to love it!!


Oh! And subbing, of course!!
