Im going to Wedding Mickey Birthday trip!!

[msmary]

After Many many months of making Adr canceling them rearanging them and hearing from my husband that the dining line was going to start refusing my calls I was finally glad to be at Disney and enjoy all my hard work....

This was a Birthday trip for my soon to be 5 year old DD whos only Birthday wish was to Wedding (her words) Mickey and stay in one of his Hotels.
To me this was a chance to go to Disney and stay (and to look like Super Mom ) .

The Cast
Me: Iv lived in Orlando my whole life and have been to Disney more time than I can count. we decided 2 years ago to get annual passes in this time I have found a new love for Disney watching my girls there is truley magical! DH: Does not share the same love for Disney as me and the girls but will go with us at least once a month (as long as its not MK we are going to).
DD 7 : Loves all things Disney and all the characters is totally in love with HSM and Hanna.
DD5: Loves Mickey and all things Mickey... and therefore loves Disney
Dm: my mom: Also loves Disney but has never stayed in one of the resort so this was all new to her. her fav is Eeyore.


We stayed at the Poly from 8/29/08 - 9/1/08 on the deluxe dining plan and I think all we did was eat!! (but man was it good)

I have to start with saying that I did take lots of pics of the food and would not let anyone eat till I had taken a picture. Dh was not happy with this and told me more than once that I was not to take a pic of his food (i did when he wasnt looking) he just dont understand the importance of food porn. but here is the bad news I cant get my pics to load on my computer into photobucket im going to keep trying and if I get it ill post them.

So we arrived for check in at the Poly after getting all checked in we decide to head on over to MK lunch is at the Crystal palace but not for another 2 hours but im sure we can find something to do at Mk to keep us busy.

After walking around a bit in the gift shop we decide we are to hungry to wait so off we go to Crystal Palce to see if we can get in early.... They must have seen the hunger in my face because they say they will seat us in 5 Minutes YEA ... Now we have been to Crystal palace many times and even though I get tired of the characters here(pooh,tigger,piglet and eeyore) I do love the food. This time was no different the service was great we never had to ask for anything and the food was extremly good
The salad bar was very fresh and had lots of pasta salads on it as well, the meats as always where great they had Flank steak, rotissery chicken,and Turkey. they where all very good (they also have the Deme Glaze sause that you can put on top of the meats ) the side items where Mashed Potatoes, a cheese potatoe, some vegies and breads..(there was more but at this time I cant remember) the kids buffet had mac and cheese and chicken fingers. all the food was hot and cooked perfect. The dessert bar was heavenly there was alot of differt things to try so why only try one so i had the baileys irish creme bread pudding, not my favorite it was good but not like others iv had, the apple struttle this was very good it had a thick topping of cinnamon crumble on top that I loved, and the coconut flan this had to be the best flan iv ever had it was a perfect blend of coconut and was not to sweet yummo!!!! the girls had Ice cream with lots of Sprinkles. and after all that they brought out DD5 her Birthday cupcake and card signed by all the characters she love the card but the cupcake was frozen and not very good at all. but thats ok they where to full to have eatin it anyways.
We all loved this place and will do it again in the future in case anyone is wondering the only thing better than lunch and dinner here is the breakfast here its the best on all property (to me).

Great start - I have a problem with photobucket too, I think it is due to high resolutions pics (?) Anyway its a great read even without them.

Time For Dinner! so after asking DH for help many times in picking placed to eat(hes very picky) and him saying he didnt care I booked Chef De France for this night. Well 3 weeks prior to the trip he reads the Menu and says "there is nothing there I want to eat" GRRRRR so what do I do spend the next 3 weeks on the phone 4-5-6 times a day trying to change this reservation but everything is booked. now its the day of the trip and still nothing so know what do we do (my first choice was leave him in the room to starve) we decide to just wing it and and go with my back up ...... Which is Wolfgang Puck Express in the Marketplace.

After reading all the good reviews I figured this would be the best place to try. So off we went.... The resturant is very nice it has indoor (limited) and outdoor seating it looks a little more fancy then most Cs places. one of the things that was so nice here is you order get your drinks and have a seat and they bring you the food no trying to look like a circus clown juggling trays and trying to find a seat.
The food was Fantastical (one of my silly made up word feel free to use it just be prepaired to get weird looks if your not at Disney )
I had the Chicken Tortilla Melt this was so good it was this HUGE thick tortilla wrap with Chicken,Cheese,Bell peppers and Onions with a mild taco sauce in it. (this is where i need pics words dont do it justice) it was extremly good. it come with a side of sour creme cole slaw but I dont like cole slaw so I cant say how it was.
DH had the BBQ Chicken Pizza it was quite big the toppings where bbq chicken,cheese,Tomoatoes, and had cilantro sprinkled on top. He enjoyed it and said it was the best pizza he has ever eaten on Disney property. Yea he does love disney.
DM had the Chicken Alfredo this came with a small side salad the alfredo was in a big bowl that seemed endless. there was alot of sauce on it and it was cooked perfectly. the salad was good with lettuce and tomatoes not big but who need a big salad when you have all that alfredo.
DD7 got the kids Cheese pizza it was a nice looking pizza the cheese was so thick, they did not spare any cheese here.(Im sure Mickey and Minnie love this pizza)she loved it and ate most of it. it was a good size pizza for a kid.
DD5 had her favorite food Chicken fingers and fries. She got a huge bowl filled with fries that had 3 fingers on top of it. the fingers where not everyday chicken nuggets they had a light almost like a bread crumb coating on them and where not greasy at all and those fries well we where all glad she got this we all loved the fries they are herb seasoned and where awesome not one bit greasy.

For dessert everyone but me got cookies there where 2 kinds to choose from chocolate chocolate chip DD5 got this and chocolate chip Dh Dm dd7 got this one. they where big but hard the girls didnt like them Dh ended up eating all 4 of them during the weekend. (hes good for somethink )
Me I decided to be brave and try something new and got the Creme Brulee and boy was I glad I did it was so wonderful in fact it was so good everyone was dipping there spoon in it and wishing they had got it. it was cooked perfect it was sweet and creamy but not overly so. It was soooo yummy and I was in Dessert Heaven!!!!! untill everyone ate it and it was gone.

I didnt have one complant about this meal the portions you get are huge and its hot and cooked fresh its the best counter service meal for the DDP or out of pocket (meals are big enought to share). We will be going back its on our will do again list.

So now we are all full but goofys candy store is calling out to the girls and I was wanting to let them make their own candy so off we went. this place is very neat the girls had a blast creating their own candy. They both got the Oreo cookie and i dont mean the little ones you get in the pack this one covered the palm of hand plus some and was about 3 inches high.
DD7 got hers dipped in milk chocolate covered in rainbow sprinkles then had white chocolate drizzled over it...
DD5 got hers dipped in milk chocolate dipped in rainbow sprinkles on one side then dipped in M&M on the other side and just when you sweet enough it was drizzled in white chocolate and milk chocolate (she LOVES Chocolate)
we took them back to the room and they ate on them all weekend and still had some to take home. They where good but way to sweet but it was fun watching them be made and we will probley do it again. next time im getting the pretzel rods. Oh this is counted as a snack credit on the ddp
