Now for Amy's final two updates of their trip, with the first being from their dinner at...


Tutto Italia

Bistecca Del Macellaio - grilled Butcher's steak, rosemary potatoes, cipolline onions agro dolce

"DH said this is the best steak he has ever had in his life. Remember he is a plain eater and this was anything but plain."

Fettuccine Vecchia Roma with pancetta, parmesan cream

"I had the fettuccine, which was very good and even with the cream sauce it wasn't really heavy."

Lasagna alla Bolognese - traditional preparation with Emilia-Romagna beef sauce, bechamel and parmesan


"DS got the lasagna and DD got the spaghetti. We all loved our food and the service was superb!" ​

This thread is the reason I keep changing our ADRs for our July trip. I see something that looks good and I can't help myself

And Amy's last update is a snack update.​

Amy said, "We used snack credits for the following:"

Make your own Rice Krispie - dipped in white chocolate rolled in butterfinger and drizzled with milk chocolate
Fudge
Chocolate shakes
Root Beer Float
Fruit cup
Frozen Slushie
Caramel Popcorn
Chocolate Caramel Cookie
Giant Caramel pecan cluster
Cotton Candy
bags of Gummy worms
bag of rock candy suckers

And last of all...

Carrot cake cookie


"I just didn't like it. Sorry, I know a lot of people do."





"And sorry I only have one snack photo but I also had to share a picture of Carly with her favorite Princess."

"This is the last of my updates. Next time I will try to do better with all the pics!"

We've received an update from Incredibleboysmom.


Yesterday her family had lunch at Epcot's...

First some menu pics...

Baguette with butter

French Onion Soup

Lobster Bisque

Crepe Florentine - large crepe filled with chicken, spinach, mushrooms and bechamel sauce

"An unattractive view of the inside."


"So I know this sounds profound, but this was a very heavy meal. The crepe reminded me of a flat chicken pot pie.
It was very tasty and very, very filling."

Quiche Lorraine - ham and cheese quiche


"DH loved the quiche but I thought it had too much nutmeg. The salad was nice but would have been nicer with more "stuff" in it, veggies, croutons, anything."

Gratin de macaroni


"The kids loved the macaroni. The little guys shared an adult order, as it is not on the kid's menu."




And for their desserts...

Biscuit au chocolat

"We had 3 of these."

Profiteroles au chocolat - Puff choux with vanilla ice cream and chocolate sauce

Vanilla Creme Brulee


"The desserts were forgettable. The cookies were probably the best.
We went back to the bakery later in the day to get more!"



"All in all this was an average meal. DH commented that the wait staff didn't look happy, we never saw a smile.
Remy only did a quick drive by our table, I'm glad that I didn't tell the boys about it ahead of time."

Back in August, I received my first live update from Brenda (emmysmommy) as part of "challenge" that I posed to her for her trip to Disney World. And from this, the idea of the "Live from Disney World" thread was born!


So I'm therefore super-excited to announce that next up to the Disney World Dining plate are..

emmysmommy - Brenda and her DD (Emily, aka JustEmmy here on the DIS) will be taking a girls only trip to WDW from 2/23 - 3/4. They have volunteered to do live updates for us during their trip! Emily has started a PDR, which includes their Dining Plans.

​

That's because they're French. Sorry you weren't too happy with your experience at Chef's. The wait staff there aren't the friendliest for sure, but I think it adds to the experience of it all. The French aren't exactly known for their customer service. I'm sure it reflects in their tips.​

 

[debrapagliasotti]

I could sure go for some Lobster Bisque from Chefs right about now! I love that stuff

 

[Ginamarie]

OMG- I spend a few days away from the Dis and come back to so many great updates. It's a good thing DH and I have a date night tonight and will be eating soon. I'm STARVING now

Our First Update of the Day today was sent to us by Diane (pinkxray).


She said, "Today we had breakfast at...



Roaring Forks



First some menu pics...

"Jen had the breakfast sandwich..."

Breakfast Croissant with bacon, egg, and cheese, served with potatoes




"I got the chocolate lovers waffles (kids size, which comes with two instead of three waffles)..."

Chocolate Lovers Waffles & Bacon
Mickey waffles with chocolate chips, whipped cream, and chocolate sauce





"I also got the Bounty Platter with an extra pancake in place of the biscuit. DD got the pancakes and bacon while I wanted the potatoes and eggs."

Bounty Platter with scrambled eggs, pancakes, potatoes, bacon, and sausage




Diane said, "It might sound I ridiculous but this was my favorite breakfast all week. The waffles were awesome and I prefer shredded potatoes over the cubes or wedges other places serve."

Sparkling Volcano Dessert
A giant rich chocolate brownie cake stacked up high, served warm with vanilla ice cream, fresh whipped cream and topped with caramel and chocolate sauces.


"We got the volcano with our 3 adult dessert credits. Everything was delicious!" [/CENTER]

Thank you for posting this! I always wanted to order that dessert and we'll have 3 adults on the DxDP next time we're there so this is going on the list of must do's!

 

[jabead]

Next we received these Animal Kingdom updates from DaisyluvzGoofy.



She said, "Sorry for the late postings. We've been exhausted and took advantage of all the time in the park we could get!"

"Thursday AM was breakfast at..."


Tusker House

"First photo was mine: I wasn't feeling so great so I didn't eat much. My favorite item were the blintzes. I wish they had a little more crisp to them but they had a great sweet flavor to the cream filling. I was also a fan of their breakfast juice.
Quite unique!!"

"DH's plate is the second, with the donuts. He said he had been craving some so this served it purpose.
He also liked the sausage patties instead of links."

"Overall this served the purpose of getting us close to the safari for park opening and we had a great time on that!"






Dino Bite Snacks

"We had this snack from "Dino-Bites" next to Restaurantosaurus. It was cheaper than the cone and had more ice cream.
The cookies were soft and full of chocolate. I would certainly get this again!"





Pretzel & Lemonade Stand

Frozen Mango Rum Lemonade



A menu pic...

"I had a "Lost on safari" at the bar outside of Tusker House but forgot to take a photo. It was pretty strong and a great value for the money. As we were walking towards our fastpasses for Everest we noticed one of the snack stands had a Frozen Mango Rum Lemonade, sounded good so I thought I'd give it a try. It was Awesome!!! It was much more mango than lemonade. Was not bitter but packed a punch!!!"



"We rode Everest and decided to get out of AK before the parade started and head back into MK for a few rides we missed because of the crowds early in the week." ​

DaisyluvzGoofy then sent this update.


"So we left AK and headed over to find a fairly deserted MK. Sweet! We snacked on a BBQ Flatbread from..."




Pinocchio Village Haus

Barbecue Chicken Flatbread


"It was pretty good, but needed more BBQ sauce. Luckily they have that at their toppings bar!"



And some menu pics...

One more update was received from DaisyluvzGoofy today.



She said, "We hit up a bunch of rides, then headed for the boat to the...


Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue


"I have to admit, the food and drink sucked me in, and I forgot to take pictures. We finally experienced some Disney Magic on this reservation! We paid for Cat. 3 seats, and were seated on the floor in the middle of the room! Best seats! They even picked on my dad during the opening number. It was too cute! He was such a good sport! We originally planned this to be just a DH and I reservation, but my parents showed interest in going so we added them on. Good thing for DH, because he very much hates audience participation, and I've got a good feeling DH would have been picked on in that opening number instead of dad!"

"For our review of the food: Chicken was a bit dry for our tastes, but adding the extra BBQ sauce at the bottom of the ribs pail helped a lot! The ribs were excellent! Fall off the bone and sweet! The corn bread and the strawberry shortcake were our favorite overall items. Dad and I had the sangria, which wasn't too bitter or too sweet, but fairly potent."
