Live from WDW, its the Nicki and Todd show..and RAIN!!!!

WOO HOO!!

Thanks for your live reports!

Looks like you are off to a wet start:sad1:

Can you believe it has been raining hard as heck since 7pm tonight?? This is nuts!

AWESOME!!! Love your report! Thanks for all the details, the menu pics, and everything else. I hope the weather starts to cooperate!

Glad you like it!

Oh I'm so happy to be reading reviews of yours again! I've been lurking through them for awhile now, so I thought I'd take a second to mention how awesome they are! Thanks for taking the time to post them all. You are certainly a Disney-Foodie inspiration to me! :)

Thanks! DH and I said that this is the official "we go to Dis to eat" trip since there is nothing else to do in this horrid rain

Great Report!
I love reading all the reviews & the pics are awesome!! :thumbsup2
Can't wait to read more

Thank you so much! This is a short but sweet trip!

Great review, as always.:goodvibes

Thank you!

:woohoo: :woohoo: Another MickeyNicki live report! :woohoo::woohoo: Hope the weather clears out for you!

Yay! I hope it is much nicer tomorrow! On the flip side MK is super dead, all the rides were walk ons (we cant do the hard core ones so we stuck to the kiddie ones) and there are really no lines for CS places.

glad you are having a nice time...hope the weather improves for you but I guess bad weather in disney is better than good weather at home.

You got that right!

I'm jumping on too..........I LOVED your last report!

Thanks so much!
 
Soooo glad you made it!!! :banana:

All caught up and don't think I didn't notice the pics of Kona's menu, you started with dessert ;)

I've been thinking of trying CP dinner so I can't wait for the next update :goodvibes Try to stay dry(ish) and have a great trip :thumbsup2
 
RAIN OR SHINE SUPER NICKI STILL GET'S THE JOB DONE! AND NO JOB OR BAG IS TOO HEAVY NOT EVEN DEAR HUSBAND'S LOL...:rotfl: But you guys being at WDW will bring a rainbow out:rainbow: cant wait for more of your trip report! Kimmie
 
Where did I leave off? Oh yeah, dinner at CP tonight, DH was sleeping so soundly that I tried to get a later reservation but they had nothing open. I woke him up and asked if he wanted to skip it and he said NO WAY JOSE!

We got right on the monorail, again there was just us ... that is blowing my mind that it is so quiet around here, and we made our way back to MK. As we entered they had the family parade thing going on and we saw a few characters driving down Main Street.

As soon as I get to CP there was no line, that is too weird, and no one waiting on the benches....oookkkaaayyy never seen that one before. We gave them our name (this is around 5:45pm) and were seated right away (our ressie was at 6:05). They were also taking walk ups.

The inside was packed to the gills. We sat on the left side, which is a first for us, and there were 2 humongous tables of 10 each directly behind us. The kids were running and screaming like little maniacs and the parents were talking to each other super loud (they were so loud the server didnt hear what I wanted to drink and I said it loud and twice!) and they were from Boston. How do I know? Because I know that we pahk the cah in Hahvahd Yahd. I too used to speak that way but I bought the Floridians Handbook Of Dropping the Accent (when you move here they give you one :rotfl:). Their tables looks like they had finished and were to leave soon so that was a good thing BUT there were super pissed that they missed Eeyore. They told the server they were not leaving until they saw him. The server told them they had to stay in their seats because there were in other peoples way. These kids were running all over and the adults were just standing around. Our server left and spoke to someone in shirt and tie and before you knew it Eeyore appeared. Thank goodness they left right after that.

As we were getting up to the buffet this guy had other ideas!

I was trying to take his pic and he kept getting closer and closer and closer and then he pecked me on the cheek! Cute!

I tried to get you all close up buffet shots but that was impossible tonight, they were way to crowded. But here are a few salad bar shots as most people were skipping that section.

Kids Table, chicken nuggets string beans and mac and cheese

Here is my salad plate with the most amazing to die for couscous with chick peas, greens and ranch dressing, marinated cukes, fantastic yellow tomatoes and a tasty pasta salad and of course the best rolls ever!

DisneyJune08072.jpg


I tried the chicken veggie soup and it was good but too salty for me, DH loved it. Full of chicken and veggies too.

DisneyJune08071.jpg


Here is DH plate, I know there are tomatoes and ranch dressing and I think some greens

DH tried the mushroom soup but he said it was terrible, very thick and pasty and salty

DisneyJune08074.jpg
 

This is my dinner plate, a chicken leg that was amazing, adobe pork that was so tender and flavorful, pasta in a cream sauce that was very good, broccoli in a puri puri sauce which is my favorite, more couscous, carrots and string beans that were nice and crisp, the best mashed potatoes and another roll since DH snagged my first one

DisneyJune08075.jpg


Here is DH plate, adobe pork, roasted chicken breast and wing, mashed potatoes, broccoli with puri puri, roasted veggies, a very well done piece of prime rib that he LOVED and corn spoon bread which he did not like that much...me either as it is too mushy

DisneyJune08073.jpg


There are plenty of other dinner options that we did not eat like cheese pizza, mussels, another chicken dish, salmon and other stuff.

Here is where CP fell flat on its face for us. Dessert. Everything was blech except the banana bread pudding with Jack Daniels sauce...that was to die for and we both enhaled it. The cookies (they had an assortment of them) were soft and mush like probably from humidity or something. The apple crisp was not really a crisp but more of a sandy topping that felt gritty in the mouth, we are used to a granola type topping. The coconut flan had no taste and was watery, the tiramisu was very loose and watery and had a super strong coffee flavor, the red velvet cheesecake was ok but not memorable and the peanut butter chocolate cake tasted like refrigeration. The carrot cake was ok, not the best and not the worst. They had key lime pie which we did not like and ice cream machines but you could not get near them as the kids were having a field day with it.

Overall we loved the dinner and are going back in January with our nieces because the older one is a huge Pooh fan but other than that I think we will stick to breakfasts here....the super early one so we can get in the park!

Me too! I think dessert should come first, then apps and then dinner! I will post the dinner menu of Kona in a sec!

RAIN OR SHINE SUPER NICKI STILL GET'S THE JOB DONE! AND NO JOB OR BAG IS TOO HEAVY NOT EVEN DEAR HUSBAND'S LOL...:rotfl: But you guys being at WDW will bring a rainbow out:rainbow: cant wait for more of your trip report! Kimmie

I just love you! You are so funny! Super Nicki needs to get her side kick Sleepy Husband awake to see the fireworks from the balcony. At 9 I woke him to watch the electrical parade....now I have to get his tush up again and we have 7:30 ressies for Ohana tomorrow....he better not be cranky!
 
Kona dinner menu, sorry about the glare and the uneven pictures but I am vertically challenged and it is hard to reach up and snap a pic

Thanks for taking the time to share. It was nice to see pictures of CP at dinner time. We always go for breakfast and can't seem to break away.

Hope you are drying out. It's been raining in our neck of the woods quite a little bit today.

Best Wishes. :hippie:
 
YUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!

Hi mom!!! We still need to make ADRs, *wink, wink, nudge, nudge*
 
I must agree, Crystal Palace didn't look all that appetizing. We're having breakfast here during our trip in October.....I hope it will be better.
 
Yay Nicki! You are there and I am so jealous! Your day at MK sounds awesome in spite of that pesky rain situation. LOL! I can't wait to hear more and see tomorrow's pics.
 
I'm loving your report. Thanks for sharing your weeekend with us...:thumbsup2 :worship:

Glad you are enjoying it!

We always do breakfast to but I wanted to change it up a bit. I was just watching the weather and we are to get rain in the morning, noon and heavy thunderstorms at 3pm. So much for clear skies. It will probably be gorgeous when we leave on Sunday!

Dinner was good but not knock your socks off great...I think we will stick to breakfast too
