Today is the last full day of Paula & Hunter's trip and they finally made it over to the Polynesian Resort to have breakfast at...


KONA CAFE




They started their meal with this...

100% Kona Coffee French Press Pot





And then Paula finally got to try these...

Macadamia Nut-Pineapple Pancakes with macadamia nut butter, pineapple sauce and bacon




After Paula sent me this pic, I told her that I would award her Bonus Points if she cleaned her plate.

She then sent me this pic...

Needless to say, I was quite impressed and was about to award her the Bonus Points anyway when Paula said...


"Hunter has told me we are not leaving until I finish them!"


And sure enough, a few minutes later I received this pic...

So let's give it up for Paula...the first live reporter to conquer the Kona pancakes!!!

After their breakfast at the Polynesian, Paula & Hunter made a stop at the Contemporary Resort's Contempo Cafe for this...

Chocolate-Peanut Butter Cupcake


Paula said, "This is for later...like maybe a few days later?!?!" ​

Nikki (DancingDaisyDuck) had her lunch at the Food & Wine Festival booths today.

From Canada: Chicken Chipotle Sausage with Sweet Corn Polenta and "Minus 8" Onion Jam


Nikki said, "Spicy but works well with the polenta and sweet onion jam."

From Canada: Canadian Cheddar Cheese Soup


Nikki said, "Very good as always."

From Canada: "Le Cellier" Wild Mushroom Beef Filet Mignon with Truffle Butter Sauce


Nikki said, "Very flavorful, meat cooked perfect, lots of mushrooms too."

From Greece: Griddled Greek Cheese with Pistachios and Honey


Nikki said, "I was skeptical but the flavors and textures all work great together!"

From Mexico: Crispy Shrimp Taco with Chipotle Lime Mayo and Cabbage Served on a Flour Tortilla


Nikki said, "This was "eh" for me."

Lobster and Seafood Fisherman's Pie


Nikki said, "This was great with creamy mashed potatoes, big chunks of seafood, and cheese!"

From Caribbean: Bacardi® Frozen Dragon Berry Colada


Nikki said, "It's 5:00 somewhere." This is cool, tart, and refreshing. Not as strong as I like but that's probably a good thing!" ​

Wow major kudos to Paula for finishing those pancakes!! Her poor stomach must be apt to burst so I don't blame her for delaying the cupcake .

This thread has me more excited with each passing day for my own trip. Only 13 more sleeps!!

Nikki's next stop was at La Cava de Tequila, where she got this to go...

Avocado Margarita
El Mayor premium silver Tequila, melon liqueur, fresh avocado, agave nectar and fresh lime juice, served frozen with a hibiscus Himalayan salt rim


Nikki said, "So good, but tastes like banana. Love the hibiscus salt rim!" ​

Paula is having her own "Happy Hour" back at their resort, Wilderness Lodge & Villas.


From the Trout Pass Pool Bar...

Poolside Plunge
Bacardi Black RAZZ Rum, Odwalla Lemonade, and a splash of Grenadine and Sprite
(a repeat choice from the other day)

Bloody Mary





Then another one of these...

thanks for posting barb!

our server let me substitute mashed potatoes for the sweet potato puree. my daughter loves mashed potatoes! she ate off my plate but he was very kind and brought her out some grapes & cheese as well.

for the appetizer, it was either a salad or the soup. the soup was amazing! very hearty with a deep mushroom flavor. there were chunks of portabella mushrooms, potatoes and very tender beef. it was delicious!!

the pork chop was much better than i had expected. it was moist and very flavorful. i enjoyed it very much.

we're waiting for the rain to pass so we can get back to MK for MNSSHP!

Ahhh...I thought those sweet potatoes looked pretty pale! Thanks, emmebear for clearing that up.

Hope the rain ends soon!

Hi friends! The rain is letting up but there's more in the cards for tomorrow. Then, on Monday when I have to fly home Sandy makes landfall in the North East and will disrupt travel from like VA to Maine. Pray that the weather Gods stay on my side!

It does! I really don't care for avocado but I listened to the reviews and tried it anyway. This was really, really good and tasted kinda like banana but nothing like avocado. I really loved this and was sure I wouldn't. Can't wait to get another one.

emmebear & Emme are at Magic Kingdom tonight for MNSSHP and had dinner at...



Cosmic Ray's

Half Rotisserie Chicken - Served with mashed potatoes and green beans


emmebear said, "Great chicken, overly salty green beans. Thought it was decent QS meal."​

 

[jabead]

Paula & Hunter had their Grand Finale Dinner tonight at...


Victoria & Albert's Chef's Table


We will have to wait for Paula's review to see the food pics (which I'm sure will be amazing ), but I've got something even better to share with you...

I love guacamole, but I just couldn't imagine DRINKING avacado. But now that I know that you don't taste any avacado, I'll definitely give it a try!

Thanks!
