I am not a breakfast person so thank you for sharing some options at parks I want to try now!

Enjoyed your style of writing trip reports with focus on food and drink
Simple and honest.
Now I want to collect more of those little round drink circles made of cardboard . The one at RivieraResort is oval …

Great report! I'm still laughing about your reaction to your wife's bowl at Mara, "looked like vomit". In her defense, it looks good to me. Smart move to make Les Halles your first stop-that's what I do now. But on my last trip, the line for Les Halles got almost as long as for Remy in the morning!
Next time you're at Kidani, I hope you'll consider having breakfast at Sanaa some morning. I'd be very interested in your review of that.

Great title and great reports It so hard to branch out and order new items when you have have entrees that were really good- I have to push myself to do it. Really like your pizza adjustment for Via Napoli- and asked to put a tan on it, cook it a little crispier. Gonna try that one myself. Thanks for taking the time to share.

I agree -- next time we go there, I'll ask them for a little extra bake. Great idea!

Loved your report and photos. This was perfect as my wife and I have another trip upcoming and the info here was clear, concise, conversational. I'll be honest though, I initially clicked on this after thinking the title was "Eat like we were IN prison." I thought, oh no, but then realized it was just me.

Topolino's

This is one place I've been looking forward to. First time. Last trip we had a QS lunch at Primo Piatto and that's now one of my favorite QS places.

We took a bus from AKL to Hollywood Studios and took the skyliner to Riviera. I always like being early so we can relax in the lounge for one or two. My wife ordered a wine while I had a beer, IPA I think.

There were a couple middle aged ladies at the bar whooping it up and having a good old time. I think they were trying everything on the drink menu.

I always take a coaster at lounges I go to and have a good sized collection. I went to put my coaster in my pocket and the bartender told me I don't want to take a used one and handed me a small stack of new ones.

Bar tab - $33.22

It was time to be seated for dinner and we got the table back in the glass corner. Probably the best spot and view in the restaurant. Steven was our waiter and we couldn't have asked for better service. I put in an employee compliment email after.

We started with the Ricotta appetizer.

This is about the prettiest appetizer you'll find anywhere. Steven told us it's the number 1 ordered app. That wheat looking bread is the bomb, we ate our share of bread that night. I did find out I'm just not a big Ricotta person. I'm glad we tried it, I'm sure it was great, IF you are a big ricotta fan, it just wasn't to our liking.

Even though I'm a big meat and potatoes guy I always knew I wanted to have pasta here. That's what they're famous for, right? I had the Rigatoni and it was awesome. I've never been a big mushroom fan and frequently ask for them to be held, I'm glad I ordered this dish the way the chef intended. 10 out of 10 for me.

My wife had the Sole and it was soooo good. It was cooked perfectly and the capers and lemon were just right. I will have this next time we go there.

We told Steven to pick a dessert for us and suprise us. I can't remember what this is called, but, it was like some type of deconstructed something or other and it was out of this world.

Topolino's was a huge hit for us and we will definitely be back.

The Sole makes your soul leave your body....so yummy!!!
