I can't wait to read your review. Just had to share that I'm a huge Mets fan and my daughter's middle name is Shea after the old stadium! You have a beautiful family!

Love your reviews and your pups! We have 2 pugs that stay at my in-laws when we vacation, but if that weren't an option, I would look into Best Friend's. It looks so cute from the outside and would love to read your opinion of Max and Ruby's stay.

You have made the non-Disney food look so fun and good, I can't wait until the actual Disney food reviews start!

After checking in we went to Epcot for some classics. Salted pretzel for Beh. Soft, salty and chewy!

Disney "Popping Corn"! For some reason this popcorn is too yummy to be lumped in with others and eeds a special name. The Baby and I named it "Popping Corn" a couple of trips back. Really folks, what do they put in this thing?! You can tast "butter" in every handful. I must have eaten 4 of these plus one big one over the course of our stay!

Ladies and Gentlemen, I present the Grand Marnier Slushee aka an alchololic Creamsicle- sweet, refreshing with a little kick!

When we returned to our room, we were greeted by the Gang, some Twix and Hersey bars and some Starburst. We loved this surprise and the chocolate. The starburst are still sitting in the snack drawer at home.

I'm drooling over those wings and meatball pizza and it's after 10pm. I'll have hard time going to bed with empty stomach and picturing the wings and pizza!

I go for PB&J at night. I have to admit, those pizza pics make me drool too. There is a coal fired pizza place nar us. i want to try it soon!

You packed awesome snacks for the road! The Anthony's food looks fantastic, great start to your report. Looking forward to more!

Thank you! I'm trying to keep up with the report. I will lots of time over the weekend to bang some more reviews out!

We begged my sister to take us back to Anthony's on our visit and just ran out of time! I love their pizza. Your picture is making my mouth water!

Love the mickey shaped snacks ... I totally need to find those!

Looking forward to the rest of the reviews!

Thank you! Anthony's is really great! Now you have something to look forward to next time you visit your sister!

Such a fun report so far! You are a beautiful family & max & ruby are too cute! Love the foodles, I think I'll have to get some for our trip! Too bad that meatball pizza isn't from WDW. Looks like a great way to start vacation! My hub & I both LOVED Ft. Lauderdale. Very nice place!

Thank you so very much for the kind words. I was a little bummed we couldn't get Via Napoli, this more than made up for it! The beach was so great!

We've never been to Clydz! I'll have to look it up. We just went to Frog and Peach on Tuesday for my birthday. Still so very good! We took the Baby with us and he really enjoyed it too.

I can't wait to read your review. Just had to share that I'm a huge Mets fan and my daughter's middle name is Shea after the old stadium! You have a beautiful family!

Love Shea as a middle name. have you been to Citi? It's pretty great! Thank you for the kind words. Love, love, my family!

The pups loved Best Friends, I'll PM you some details later this week. Thank you so much for reading!

I just wanted to apologize for the long break in between posts. My internet is a acting up a bit. I lost two versions of this report before it successfully posted... I am going to post from work tomorrow. During lunch time of course!

Blurry - Green apples- crispy and tart.

PBJ. We loved these! The shooters were such a good idea- lovely presentation. The rolls were so good. Fresh baked, soft and full of carb delicousness. We'd take some of these back to the room for late night snacks. The staff even gave us some for the trip home.

Brie and rasperry- sweet, creamy and crunchy. This is such a good combination. We ate so many of these and the crab rangoon there was no room for appetizers at dinner!

Crab Rangoon!!!

Cold seafood salad. Beh loved this. If you read my first post, you know I didn't fo near these because of the mayo! Papa tried this too. The guys both enjoyed these.

Bred and butter. Not the best we've had, but the butter was salted and I believe that makes "eh" bread, yummy!

Goddess Salad- Beh and the Papa had this. It's like a Cesar's Salad, but much more peppery. The croutons were plentiful, buttery and crunchy. The salad was fresh and a thumbs up from the fellas.

Beh had the rib-eye with mashed potatos. He was going have the salmon, but changed his mind and was very happy with his choice. The steak was a perfect medium and the potatos were buttery and chock full of crispy bacon and cheddar cheese.

I had the double cut porkchop with onions, and mushrooms over a cream of corn and spinach side. It was delicious. I picked out the mushrooms and onions, because, well, I'm a brat! The porkchop was grilled to a safe medium, and was seasoned with a fair amount of garlic and pepper. This with the sweet corn was yum!

Here my friends was what I think is one of the very best desserts I've had anywhere. It was a gourmet, Yodel or Swiss Roll. Those little chocolate ball things were like mini Crunch bars. The chocolate was semi-sweet, the mousse and whipped cream were light, airy, sweet. This was definitely made with a high quality cocoa bean. Now, for the record, this was MY dessert. Beh and the Baby were full. Well once they saw this bad boy, they wanted some and I let them have A taste. When I saw them coming in for more, I must admit, I pulled the dessert towards me and scarffed it down in about four bites. it really wasn't that big. Right...

Coming up later tonight- Mama Melrose Fantasmic!

Long suffering Mets fans!

My husband introduces himself as a "frustrated Mets fan". Or if anyone asks how he's doing he says "better than my Mets"

Oh well, maybe next year!

I'm another Rachael who loathes mayo, but I'm a Cards fan.
