I found the take-out window menu. It looks pretty yummy. Empanadas and papa rellenos are sooo good! I actually can make empanandas. One of the few things I can cook. That and a turkey sandwich Malta is an acquired taste. It's not alcoholic. And I've never heard of cheese flan

 

[Tanya90210]

That makes sense. Are you excited about your trip. You'll be in Disney soon!!!



No, I didn't know about the take-out window. I wonder what the take-out menu is like. I have to check.

not as soon as u lol

That Bongo's take-out window sure looks yummy! Much better than the spaghetti I made tonight!

I'm going to Beaches and Cream for dinner in October so we should have you covered on reviews.

::channeling Mr. Burns:: Eeexcellent.

This made me laugh! Part of it is that I would love someone to have one just because I can't and the other half is that I want people to save money if they can.
I always tell DH that if we win the lotto I'm buying enough DVC points to live most of the year at Disney. You'll all invited

Sounds like a plan to me!

I want a guava pastry!

I want a guava pastry!

Bongos really needs to set up a delivery system. We all need a taste of Cuba right now!

 

[Scrapbook Stacy]

I would love to try the kitchen sink as well! You must post photos if you get one.

Definitely! I'll be the Kitchen Sink and me. The rest of my family can order their own

 

[Pirate Me]

Where is Bongos?

 

[KatGarcia]

OOOOO a take out window...sounds like an option I may have to explore.

It so does! I mean, if bakeries are able to ship wedding cakes across the country, Bongos shouldn't have any problems with empanadas and guava pastries!

DTD

Kat, you and I think alike

Good point! What if I want empanadas at midnight? I think Bongos should ship them to me.

I'm not sure I want to do the Plaza Restaurant twice. I'm also debating WCC. It looks like a lot of fun, but will transportation to the WL be a nightmare?

Question: Are taxis readily available at each park? In the event the bus lines are way too long at AK and DHS, I'd like to be able to hop in a taxi. I know you can get a taxi at the resorts, just not sure what the wait is like.

I'm pretty sure that taxis are available.....

WCC--good, but not memorable for me as far as the food. I'd rather try out The Wave at the Contemporary, but maybe too foo foo for kids...

 

[winkers]

Trying to catch up.......what did I miss?

Any canasta playing?

Hmmm wonder if I should change WCC
