So these reviews are a little later than I expected they would be, but that seems par for the course for me anymore. On with the show....
Your eaters for this evening will be:
Me (Princess Trisha - or just Trisha for short) I love food. I obsess about Disney food. I actually create a separate scrapbook for the food we eat on vacation. I follow my stomach, palate and nose everywhere.
Connie (aka my mother) She says she's not fussy but there is a lot she doesn't like. What she likes though, she really likes. Can't usually make up her own mind though so I have gotten pretty good at choosing things she'll enjoy (although sometimes I completely miss the mark as you'll see).
Bill (aka my father) If he could he would raise cows in the backyard so we could have a constant supply of beef on hand. Although he said to me a month before we left, "I'm not going to order steak at every meal this time, I want to try something new." He doesn't do well with new so I am glad that he forgot he said this to me.
A little background about the menu:
So, last October I decided there would be only 1 disney trip in 2007 - my finances were strapped a little tight with the two trips last year so, it was time to buckle down and go on a cash diet (I never even think of the other kind of diet because I know it's just not going to happen). Anyways, I around Christmas I started to get "the itch" - you guys know what I mean. You start playing with some numbers, costing things out on a "what if" basis. I thought to myself, I'll never make it until December 07 without at least a little Disney fix. So I started looking at a May trip - on the cheap (one of the most dreaded phrases in the English language). This meant no dining plan - how would I ever get through a trip without some of my favourite sit down restaurants? Is it even legal to stay a disney without having a mickey bar?
Disney to my rescue! I received the 40% off room discount postcard and called and booked the trip AND I ADDED THE DINING PLAN. Pixie Dust all around
