I grab some of these every trip. A great low fat salty/crunchy snack!

.
 
Hi everyone! We are back in the room after a day at the pool...and we need some nap time, the sun just zaps your energy...well DH's energy I am still hyper and ready to go :banana:

We had breakfast at the food court again, it was a bit busier than yesterday but we did arrive earlier than yesterday too so that may have something to do with it. I went to get a bagel and a cinnamon bun and DH was to get his stuff and I requested a plate of eggs.

They were sold out of bagels :scared1: so I got a croissant instead. It was very very greasy but still good...just too greasy for me to get another one.

POFQpoolday005.jpg


And remember that I wanted JUST eggs? He doesnt listen to me all the time and got me sausage, which I do love but cannot eat it every day or my fingers will swell like little sausages! The eggs were not as dry as yesterday, much better this morning! Sausages were good too, had to eat them as DH doesnt like them (but he likes sausage gravy go figure)

POFQpoolday001.jpg


More fruit, I just love fruit and eat it all the time. Again it was cold, fresh and sooo sweet!

POFQpoolday002.jpg


Another cinnamon bun and I actually had more than one bite this time, I was allowed 2! :lmao: It was warm and sweet and sticky and perfect, loaded with cinnamon too!

POFQpoolday003.jpg


DH had the King Creole platter again but with all bacon, the bacon was crispy and not greasy, the potatoes were better than yesterday and he ate the biscuit with butter and jelly...I was surprised that he skipped the gravy..but there is always tomorrow!

POFQpoolday004.jpg


We used our mugs for Nescape for DH and ice tea for me...the ice tea is awesome...very fresh! There are a ton of guests using old POR mugs, other resort mugs and such but we are using our 2009 mugs that we bought in March...hey at least our mugs are the current ones! Not one CM is commenting on the out of date mugs either....not saying it is right, wrong or whatever but I am just letting you know what I am seeing.

Saw lots of people checking out this morning, it was a gorgeous sunny day with a nice breeze...perfect for the pool! Tons of empty pool chairs, hardly anyone in the pool, the hot tub was closed this morning but opened at noon. We stayed out for a while, DH napped and I read a book..we had a great relaxing day. When the bar opened I went and got us these little treats, TIW is not accepted at this pool bar.

Here is a strawberry/mango with Bacardi frozen treat...it was great, nice and smooth, not gritty and not too strong, I would have preferred more rum but it was still good.

POFQpoolday007.jpg


And this is the Fusion Lemonade with citrus rum, XFusion and minute maid lemonade and I think a splash of Sprite...OH JEEZ this was great! DH hogged the first one so I had to go back and get another...much more refreshing than the other drink, I could suck these puppies back all night long!

POFQpoolday006.jpg


Someones belly starting rumbling so we decided to get lunch and go back to the room for a nap before heading out to MK. DH ordered another taco salad, beef one again, but this CM was super generous on the fillings so it was twice the size as the one last night, but it was still awesome! Very good food at this place!

POFQpoolday010.jpg


He also had a chocolate chip cookie...he said it was terrible! Too greasy and had no flavor at all...I took his word for it because I could see the grease all over the napkin and his fingers...BLECH!

POFQpoolday011.jpg


I opted for the hot muffaletta....this was wonderful. A generous amount of salty salami, ham and provolone with the olive spread on it. It was a nice salty though, like an Italian hoagie or something, The bread was soft and chewy and tasty and not prepackaged tasting at all...I would get this again in a heartbeat. It is a huge portion and I could only eat half, have no fear Todd stepped up and ate the rest.

POFQpoolday008.jpg


You get a choice of homemade chips or pasta salad and I had the pasta salad...this was so fresh and clean and light tasting I wish I had a huge plate of it...chick peas, tender pasta, onions and cucumbers in a very light, almost Italian dressing like, marinade and it was so light you could not even see it on the pasta but one bite and the flavors just burst in your mouth....Poor DH he just had the one bite.....PAYBACK PAL, PAYBACK!

POFQpoolday009.jpg


 
Appetizers:

I may have posted these back in Aug after our trip- but they just look so yummy! I wanted to share again.

GF Garden View Lounge Afternoon Tea yummy

A Kir Royale (with a strawberry :confused: nice touch I guess) at 1900 Pare Fare Dinner

And this was an alcoholic beverage from PI- I forget the name of it. I was not too fond of drinking out of a bucket:rolleyes:
331.jpg


And my FAVORITE- Chocolate Martini at the Coral Reef.
Heads were turning when this was brought to the table:rotfl2:

Do you see a pattern here? If I remember, I do believe I had some real food while in Disney too:lmao:

SIL and I made it a point to have mimosas at breakfast every morning and champagne every chance we got!:banana::thumbsup2

Our server, Jay, was awesome, very nice and funny and quick on the drink refills which is a huge plus for DH. He gets nuts if is drink runs dry. Jay brought over hot fresh chewy and crusty bread with olive oil full of dried basil, red pepper and other spices...it was amazing..we killed off all 6 slices and Jay was quick to bring more...smart lad.

MKnightSat003.jpg


DH had (suprise suprise) a craving for a caesar salad...this one was great too! Lots of garlic, a little too much dressing for me but he likes his salad wetter than me, the croutons were nice and crunchy, it was a delish salad and we had no problem polishing it off (I am going to post the next few pics with and without flash, I was having camera issues)

MKnightSat008.jpg


MKnightSat013.jpg


And of course we had to have calamari..I wish I ordered this as an entree too...the calamari at Tonys is incredible...the coating is super light, not greasy at all, the squid is so tender and not chewy or tough..the olive relish that comes on it is soooo perfect with the calamari, a nice zing and you do not need the marinara sauce (which is ick anyways)

MKnightSat007.jpg


MKnightSat006.jpg


I decided on the veggie eggplant...and Todd took it over and I will tell you why in a sec. There was roasted eggplant, red peppers, onions and zucchini layered in the lasagne and it was awesome....delish, light, tons of flavor and I think I had 3 bites of it.

MKnightSat015.jpg


MKnightSat014.jpg


DH decided on the Rigatoni Fagioli with grilled chicken in a curry veggie broth...I told him he wouldnt like it but he loves pasta fagioli so he thought he would like this....he thought wrong. That is when he switched my plate with his. The dish was different thats for sure....there was alot of cannellini beans and pasta and chicken and that was very good with more parmasan cheese on it but there was a scazillion capers in it and we do not do that many capers...there was zip taste of curry broth, tasted like a chicken broth to me. But being a nice wife I ate the pasta and chicken while he raved over the lasagne. You can get this dish veggie style, with chicken or shrimp. I would get it again with shrimp and hold the capers.

MKnightSat016.jpg


MKnightSat017.jpg


We shared a dessert...the sorbet was green apple sugar free or the cheesecake was cannoli cheesecake and DH loves cannolis so we got that. IT WAS DA BOMB! Very light and creamy, hint of pistachio, chocolate and orange zest....YUMMO I could eat this all the time. We also had tea and coffee and just lingered for a bit...we were not rushed at all!

MKnightSat023.jpg


MKnightSat022.jpg


We really love Tony's, I know it gets alot of bad reviews but we think the appies and desserts are great and the entrees are pretty good. I would rather eat here than Crystal Palace. :eek:


 
MKnightSat024.jpg


MKnightSat025.jpg


Aloha Isle was open so I got a glass of ice cold sweet and tangy pineapple juice...love this stuff!

MKnightSat027.jpg


And DH got a baby aspirin dessert...oh my bad, the citrus swirl. It is orange sherbert like stuff and vanilla ice cream...basically a frozen baby aspirin! ICK but he loved it.

I had the veggie cuban and it was awesome, why have I not had this before? There was a portabello mushroom, eggplant, zucchini, onions and roasted red peppers with mustard and pickles, provolone cheese served hot...we both loved it and the portion is huge. All the veggies are roasted and very tender, the bread rocks! I would get this again and again!

EpcotSaturday022.jpg


EpcotSaturday024.jpg


We shared a strawberry shortcake and it was very light and creamy and not too sweet and cold and perfect for just a little something.

EpcotSaturday021.jpg

Marsha had posted a pic on the alcohol thread about a drink called the Welsh Dragon from England...so I had to try one. We went into the jam packed pub and it was a mad house, lots of guys in there yelling and carrying on but I got my drink! It comes in a signature big plastic cup too. It is made with Midori, Peach Schnapps, OJ, Pineapple Juice and Creme de Menthe. HOLY MOLY this drink is insane! We loved it! Cannot wait to get it again!

EpcotSaturday033.jpg


 
Let me show you the menus that I took for Nine Dragons

So...I know you guys are dying to find out how the food was...well the food was DISGUSTING! There is a reason this place was wide open for any ressie time, any day, there is a reason the enire restaurant was empty at 6pm...the food is GROSS! :scared1: There is no way that we will ever set foot in here again, I would rather starve than eat here again. Ok so let me explain why.

I told DH that he can order for us, he loves this kind of food and I am happy to eat whatever he gets because it is usually pretty good. We love Pei Wei's and PF Changs so I figured we would be fine.

I had the iced chai tea, very good, very strong. DH had a pot of hot tea.

EpcotSaturday046.jpg


EpcotSaturday055.jpg


DH ordered the Treasure of the Dragon and selected the pork dumplings and spring rolls, the chicken soup with dumplings, General Tso's chicken and the banana cheesecake egg roll. He also ordered chicken and shrimp egg rolls and fried rice for me.

The dumplings tasted like dish water, the spring rolls tasted like rotten garbage...bad cabbage I guess. The egg rolls were the nastiest thing we have ever been served at WDW ever...I mean totally nasty gross smelly awful blech! They were dark meat chicken, red and green pepper and one teeny shrimp at the very bottom of the egg roll.

EpcotSaturday052.jpg


EpcotSaturday047.jpg


The soup was a joke, stick a few boullion cubes in hot water and throw in some nasty dumplings, that was inedible as well

EpcotSaturday039.jpg


We could not eat this crap...the waiter noticed and asked if we wanted something else, we said no just please remove it from the table as the smell was making me sick. I wanted to leave but DH said the entrees must be better....uh no I dont think so.

The fried rice was horrid, tasted terrible, dark meat chicken all over it, three overcooked shrimp and too much gross ham. DH dumped soy sauce in it but that made this nightmare worse. The table next to us was going to order it and I whispered to them "Run, save yourself!"

EpcotSaturday050.jpg


The General Tso's chicken was a disaster, not spicy, super thick and sticky sauce, dried out white rice, the chicken was white meat (about time) but the batter was too thick and clumpy and just terrible. The little dumplings had ground up chicken in them, we cut it open and just pushed it to the edge of the plate.

EpcotSaturday049.jpg


Again the waiter came by and noticed we did not eat anything, I was so upset that if I spoke I would have cried so DH said the food was not good and he asked if we wanted something else and we said no....he did bring out the banana cheesecake dessert and that was AWESOME! Very creamy and tasty and delicious...wish they had that at the CS stand.

EpcotSaturday057.jpg


The restaurant erased the entire bill...we did leave $20 for the drinks and dessert and tip...I felt bad leaving nothing but I felt worse that we ate there. We wonder if we kept our SAI ressie would we have been happier?




 
Here are some menu pics.

DH had tonga toast and bacon

SwanSunday011.jpg


I wanted eggs benedict but that is no longer available so I had the Kahuna Platter but today was a "I am going to be difficult day" and I asked for sausage and ham, they gave me an extra link instead of bacon, and I asked for an extra pancake instead of french toast and in the manner of Sally from When Harry Met Sally, I asked for the butter and pineapple sauce on the side.

Walking back from the B&B show to 50's PT we caught the little street show with the director and the vintage old movie actress...they are hysterical...she kept calling me Dah-ling and called Todd ...TOOTS! It was a trip!

 
DH had the Mowie Wowie and it was good but not as good as my Picnic Punch...holy booze Batman this drink is great! DH is green and I am sorta blue

I love the fried chicken here, I asked for all white meat, green beans instead of greens and scalloped potatoes instead of mashed....I received 2 gynormous chicken breasts that had a nice light breading, super tender moist meat, tons of great beans and a so so scalloped potatoes.

SwanSunday053.jpg


SwanSunday054.jpg


DH had the pot roast, OMG it was to die for...tons of meat, super tender and flavorful, the best mashed potatoes with lots of gravy and some juillianned veggies that were good too.

SwanSunday051.jpg


SwanSunday052.jpg


For dessert we shared the Smores..it was just eh ok...nothing like I remembered and I would have been happy with fruit instead.

SwanSunday056.jpg


 
I had a latte....oh sweet heavens a real latte! I got DH a cappucino. He said it was good. Forgot to take pics but it is just coffee.

For DH I picked a cinnamon bun..he said it was very sweet and very dense and he prefers the ones at POFQ instead. And an OJ which was good!

SwanMonday003.jpg


SwanMonday002.jpg


A plain bagel with cream cheese, it was ick...just a big thick roll.

SwanMonday008.jpg


And a croissant for me, which was gross because the top was covered in a sweet sticky almost honey like glaze....BLECH!

SwanMonday007.jpg


A huge serving of fruit...there was blueberries, cantalope, honeydew, watermelon, oranges, strawberries and pineapple and it was AWESOME! Lots of fruit to share and we still have some left over.

SwanMonday004.jpg


The Java Lounge also sells cereal, donuts and muffins.
 
First stop, France for a Grand Marnier Slushie.

From there we went to Tangierine Cafe and I had a message to deliver. Skunk from the Disboards asked me to find a CM names Naima and let her know her adoptive parents miss her and will see her in November.

Well there she was, behind the pastry counter and I delivered the message, she was so happy she hugged us both and gave us a free strawberry tart! The tart was killer, the berries sweet, the tart was soaked in a nice rum flavor or something, we loved it!

SwanMonday023.jpg


SwanMonday024.jpg


If you guys are ever at the TC and see Naima tell her hello, she is a real cutie!

Now you guys know I love the falafel wrap from TC right? Well sadly, not anymore...it was a bit different in March and now it is totally different. They are not falafel patties but now they are falafel balls and they are so spicy my eyes were on fire. And they are served on a thin pita like bread instead of the thicker doughier bread. I had to let DH eat the rest of it....the lentil salad and couscous was delish! Next time I will get the chicken schwarma


SwanMonday005.jpg
