Not a food post but, man, Mitsukoshi must have a strange contract with Disney. Who else is selling this much stuff from other franchises?

Takumi-Tei time. Going with the vegetarian menu, will probably latergram this meal.

 

[justinslot]

I am the sole occupant of what I believe they called the paper room.

 

[justinslot]

Sake flight.

 

[justinslot]

I hope to write up the rest of my Takumi-Tei dinner at some point...my idea that I would feel less stuffed at the end of the plant-based prix fixe did not result in me not being stuffed.

Tutto Italia! I love Tutto Italia! But it does not seem to be one of the more beloved Disney restaurants. Seems to be a relatively easy walk up, though they do not exist on the walk up list on the app.

Campari spritz.

Bread. With dipping oil.

Manzo brasato. This was tasty. Not a huge amount of food if you're trying to save room for later lol.

I asked the bartenders if they had any interesting Italian digestifs. They suggested grappa.



Il tutto damage. One thing I noticed is that the restaurant side and the wine cellar side no longer have separate menus, it's all one restaurant now. If you are a small party you will be seated on the wine cellar side.

San Angel Inn time. My first time, have always wanted to eat in the Epcot equivalent (in ambience not cuisine) of Blue Bayou.

 

[justinslot]

Michelada. This wasn't on the menu but there was no issue making one. Kind of hot out so it's a good day for one.

 

[justinslot]

Mahi mahi (the catch of the day) a la veracruzana.

 

[justinslot]

Tres leches de horchata. In the background is the 1921 tequila cream liqueur.

I liked eating here, feels a little bit different what with the Caballeros boats and the lighting and the temple. Food was good.

 

[justinslot]

Forgot to photograph my San Angel Inn receipt, will do that at some point.

Back to Flying Fish. I am pretty parked out at this point, my ninth and final night here.

 

[justinslot]

The bread and butter is so dang good here.

 

[justinslot]

Also tremendous here: the pork belly. This could be a small entree.

 

[justinslot]

As a tots connoisseur I decided to try STK. Apparently the tots are a little different here.

 

[justinslot]

Burger is only ten bucks here? And these are gigantic tots. At this size I am no longer sure these are tots.

 

[justinslot]

There's an option to put bacon on your burger but what's on there is more like pork belly. Better burger pork belly than what's at Steakhouse 71.

 

[justinslot]

STK late lunch bill. I do not think tots are improved by making them huge. They are supposed to be tiny nuggets of deep fried deliciousness and making them this big defeats the purpose.

A disappointment from earlier today, Garden Grove was supposed to be open according to the Swolphin app but they were closed. Do they really have Taylor ham/pork roll here? Is the Swan New Jersey's favorite Disney hotel??
