I couldn't eat another..OOHH, desert review with pictures

[jmkst58]

so you didn't have to crack the whole lobster yourself there? the meat was already out for you to grab? Because that would be welcome news. I love lobster but I refuse to order whole lobsters so that I don't have to do all the work to get the meat out. lol. With the tail- it's easily accessible.

Your pics are just spectacular, and your food reviews are just as great! You're making me a very hungry girl over here

Wonderful fireworks pictures!! I love the idea of the peppers on the calamari, but what was that broth sitting under them? Did it make them soggy??

Wow! Amazing pictures. I love the reviews too.

What kind of camera do you own?

Thanks so much..it is a Nikon D60.

Mmmmm...... Got my fork and knife. Bring it on!

I hear ya...looking at the pictures make me wish I could do it all over again.

Absolutely fantastic and gorgeous pictures!!! What type of camera do you use? The fireworks look amazing!!

Thank you- I used my Nikon D60 to shoot fireworks with a low light lens. Oh and a tripod...and a slow shutter speed.

*Drool* Better Late Then Never!

Nope, I was prepared to ask them to crack it for me and the waitress told me when I ordered that they prepared it that way. This is exactly what it look like when it came to me (just before I devoured it happily).

AWW..Thanks..I agree..I am craving something sweet now

Thanks for your input! Love the pictures...YUM!

Thanks very much for your post

Why thank youI am glad you enjoyed it also. It is quite a place. I highly recommend it.

The sauce was a hot sauce and it did not make the calamari soggy at all. It was very tasty. There were also olives and I think capers with it.

We had a 8:30 ressie at Crystal Palace. We had never been before and I love Pooh bear (there..I said it..grown lady, still loves that silly old bear). Because we were there early, I was able to get some pics of main street and the castle with very little people.

We were seated almost right away and our waiter's name was Ariel (yup, a guy with the same name as our friendly mermaid). Super nice guy, charming accent..so name be darned..I just thought it was interesting. He took our drink orders (OJ and coffee) and explained that the first section we got to was the kiddie section, but we should not skip it (some of the best stuff was there) and then there were hot offerings and in the centre was where you could have omelets made to order. It was all really yummy.

The potato casserole was really great and after polishing off these big plates, we had no room to go back for more.

We met and took pictures with all the characters..BUT pooh.He came to the table just beside us and then got called away...so I never met my beloved bear...sniff...

At this time, we had dinner ressies at Yatchman's Steak House, but we went to guest services and cancelled the reservation and got a late reservation at Prime Time Cafe (we knew we would be going to DHS for the EMH).

After spending the morning and early afternoon at the MK, we headed to DTD for lunch. Wolfgang Puck is an unbelievable deal and we still can't beleive it is a counter service. I had the BBQ chicken quesada (I really wasn't sure when I first ordered this a couple of years ago..I thought about getting the BBQ sauce on the side...but YUM) and DH had the spicy chicken pizza (also yummy).

Afterwards, we went to Characters in Flight, which is a HUGE helium balloon (as opposed to the hot air balloon with the hot hot centre). DH really was give it or take it about this, but he was really glad he did it. The pilot told us about every little upcoming bump and also told us there are only 17 of these in the world. It was amazing and next time, we will do it at night (the pilot said it is great during fireworks). The view was just spectacular (we saw the Epcot Ball and the ToT.)

So, we had 9:00 ressies but we showed up 20 minutes early and they sat us right away (hey, it was a gamble, but the worst they could have said was no, right?). This was our third visit here and we have always loved the theming.

I learned my lesson from last time and did not order a shake because that just fills you up and then you can't enjoy all the food (that being said, the PB&J shake was so yummy and my waiter suggested I put a little chocolate sauce with it).

We split the onion rings. The dipping sauce (I think it is horseradish) is so yummy and that one appetizer is more than enough for two people.

We both ordered the fried chicken. I had mine with the greens (really not that great..that it from a southern girl) and DH had corn. This was the first time when we ordered the chicken that they gave us a choice of veggie. Our "cousin" told us we had to eat all our veggies if we wanted dessert.

There was a family two tables down from us with a SCREAMING baby. I mean, screaming off and on the entire time we were there and neither parent seemed to really try to do anything to soothe the baby. The funniest thing was when one of the waitresses sshhhed the baby (I have to say, he was so stunned, he was quiet for about 60 seconds). Yes, I don't know what it is like to have a screaming baby (our kids are in my avatar) but I am an aunt..and I once got up from my dinner (so my brother and SIL could finish a meal) because my fussy neice was not going to be quiet.

OK..back to happier things..dessert!! I usually get the smores (heavenly) but we both had sundaes (caramel and hot fudge) and they were wonderful.

This was our last night at Disney this trip. We debated whether or not to get up and go to AK for EMH the next morning, but we slept in, went to DTD, had an early lunch at Ragland Road and then headed for the airport (sniff).

I love love love your pictures. Keep it coming.

That's funny your waiter at CP was named Ariel. This past summer on our trip we were waiting for the bus a Saratoga Springs and we of course were SUPER early. We started talking to a CM that was doing some bus pick-up log while waiting for our bus. Well another CM walked up and told her that he lost his nametag somewhere in the resort while picking up the trash. He was using a golfcart to travel around and said it could be anywhere, but he need a nametag. She opened up her lunchbox and said sure I have some extras--who do you want? She gave him one and off he went. She looked at us and said we have to have a name tag on at all times. So for the rest of the trip my family would see a CM,look at their tag and wonder if that was really their name.

Great food reviews!!
I don't know how you guys can eat so much!

We got told that on the Keys to the Kingdom tour. They try and choose one that sounds like their name, in case they get called. However there have been many dodgy situations of people asking them about their home town, and they just have to play along!

You know I was wondering about what makes the Characters in Flight balloon go up. When I was there I noticed the lack of fire power. That is a LOT of helium!!!

You took some really amazing photos!

 

[Linda67]

Wonderful reviews and wonderful photos
It's made me want to try and get an ADR at Narcoosses
I would love to see the fireworks and EWP from there
Does the water pageant go through just before the fireworks?

Thanks..I actually heard that it was a helium balloon from the driver of a water taxi at DTD (which is something I had also never done before this trip). It was very cool and I am happy I convinced DH to do it.

You should..love that restaurant. Yes, the water parade comes through just before and right in front of Narcoosee's.

Thanks. The one thing about the Deluxe Plan was that I felt wasteful- you just couldn't finish everything.

So we slept in, packed the car and then went to DTD. We had 11:00 ressies at Ragland Road. We had planned to go for dinner earlier in our trip, but we ended up doing Halloween Horror Nights.

I apologize because I have no pictures- the camera was packed with all the rest of our stuff in the car.

This was our first time at RR. We had the BBQ ribs with Guiness and honey sauce. This was an appetizer for two and it was really wonderful. I had the fish and chips and they were wonderful. The batter on the fish was light and crispy and the chips were great. This was probably the best fish and chips I have ever had (and there are PLENTY of pubs around my hometown). DH had the sirloin burger, which was also tasty.

BUT..the best part was dessert. I wanted the bread and butter pudding and DH said he was kinda full, so we decided to split it, but the waiter said we should take advantage of our last dessert, so we ordered a dunbrody's kiss (which the waiter described as a large truffle). WELL...the bread and butter pudding and its sauce were unbeleivably good..probably the best dessert (but for the almond crusted cheesecake) and the kiss was great, but too rich to finish.

Then, we went to the airport and came home to our dogs.

Thanks for reading and commenting. It was a wonderful trip. Our next trip is in December (and we have never been in December and will be doing all kinds of new stuff..MVMCP, Candlelight Processional and Osborne Lights..can't wait).
