LIVE from WDW...thank you DH for having a business trip!

[KatMark]

Oh you have no idea...and he got us into the Plaza so he thinks he is King of Disney, Ruler of the Reservations, Lord of the Menus!

Oh yes I do...I live with one of them!

 

[MickeyNicki]

Loving this as always!

Thank you! Welcome back to the fun!

We LOVE the plaza! The cheese steak is our favorite and we usually don't eat stuff like that.

Okay, so I had a reservation at Teppan Edo for the last night of our trip. I've been searching for a reason to cancel it and now I have one (your review). I'm all about some fried rice! I'd swap it out for Yak and Yeti, but I think I read one of your reviews where it's dark meat there? Hubby doesn't eat dark meat....
Back to square one! Obessing over our upcoming tip
I really didn't want to pay $12 for the kids meal there anyway. But now I need a back up plan. Any recommendations?
Enjoying your reviews as always!

Now dont get me wrong, Teppan Edo was great for DH but for me, well I am used to my local joint where it costs $65 for us and we get a shrimp appie, soup and salad EACH (included) and they give us fried rice, lots of broccoli, pea pods, carrots etc, the portions are alot bigger to so I am very biased. But I would rather eat at any other place in Epcot than TE...but that is because of the reasons I just gave you.

No no, Y&Y was excellent it was Nine Dragons that was disgusting with dark meat!

I have no clue what to do about our ressies in Oct now...I thought I perfected them but DH is all about the TS for lunch and dinner...might have to get the DDXP! No more sit down breakfasts for us, just too heavy first thing in the am!

I say let Todd make them all and let him see what it is like! And then you tell him when you get there that you want to eat somewhere else

Oh good! Yak and Yeti sounds awesome then. I completely agree with you on teppan edo. That's why I had been looking to cancel it, but hubby's will be hubby's! I love the veggies piled on high and the fried rice. Why ruin a good thing right!

I hope you guys enjoy the rest of your mini trip! We love your reviews!

MK was not that busy tonight, we got on lots of rides, saw the new Hall of Presidents..Epcot was a breeze too and we noticed at both parks lots and lots of characters out and no lines to meet with them.

Tomorrow is going to be completely different than what I thought (but when do things every go according to plans?). We are cancelling breakfast at WCC and eating at Roaring Forks again (a huge desire for that pecan cinnamon bun) and then we are going to sit by the pool and relax until noon and get shower up, check out at 1 and then have lunch at WCC....when DH got one whiff of that BBQ he was dying to eat there asap. So then I can cancel the dinner we have there in Oct and add the Wave back in!...that is unless he loves the WCC too much!

Now KatMark, I know what you guys said about WCC but DH is itching to try it and this weekends seems to be all about the boy (dont know why that is ) so I have to give it to him....

Then it is on the road time...so I will probably update tomorrow night sometime.

Lots of rain going on right now, tons of storms out there and 2 possible hurricanes are looming out there...wont know what happens with them until the end of next week sometime.

DH is snoring away, I am typing away and counting down the days until I can do this again!

Hey, the guy is on a roll...better let him go with it. Maybe you'll be luckier than we were with WCC.

Really enjoyed your newest reviews. I'm thinking I need to go into the Main Street Bakery more often - that fudge cake looks good - along with the brownies, cupcakes, cinnomen rolls, and...well everything.

I'm with you on Teppanedo as well. I booked it for my brother & sister-in-law (and their 3 kids) because it seems like their kind of place. For me, I prefer to be the one cutting up my own meat.

 

[jeminni]

I just found your report. How lucky.


Now, I need to go back and read it. Hope you are having a wonderful time.

 

[milmore104]

You are so NEVER going to live it down that he got you into 2 places!!! You'll be talking about something and he will just pop it into the conversation that he got you in.

Loving your reviews as always!

 

[Lynn5700]

Awesome reviews!!!! Glad you guys are having a great time

 

[Pooh&OurHunny]

Thank for an awesome update. I'm like you I'm bias on my hibachi food...I need the fried rice and that's what I'm used too at all the hibachi restaurant we go to and they give you soup, salad, more vegatables and portion. Plus I think that place is so pack all time and so much other restaurant to choice from...you are a good wife. Plus, if we go there and my 4 yr would be looking for his fried rice (that's his favorite thing when we go to a hibachi restaurant). I'm really want to go to Chefs de France...maybe in your next trip. Anyway, your husband will tell you why do you make all your ADR in advance when he can go and walk to a restaurant and get you a sit . Thank you again for sharing.

 

[crazyfordisney2000]

LOL when I read your hubby got a table at the Plaza too!!!

 

[Kae]

Ok she lives in Naples & gets to pop up to WDW. I know who I want to be when I grow up

Reviews great as always.

 

[AlohaPolynesian]

Thanks for the reviews! I was thinking about doing Teppan Edo or Tokyo Dining but now I know NOT to do Teppan Edo! Doesn't looked like there's much for vegetarians I had the GM slush and was disappointed but didn't have a chance to do the Grey Goose one...that will have to happen in December!

Can't wait to hear what you guys think of WCC! My mom refers to it is "that gross restaurant" LOL!

 

[kxs401]

Why do I always read these at night, forcing me to go get a midnight snack??

I haven't eaten at Teppan Edo, but my parents had the same problem there you did -- we have a fantastic local place that fries the rice and gives a huge portion of veggies, all for a fraction of the price. Teppan Edo wound up disappointing them.

 

[GoofySon'sMom]

We didn't have much luck at WCC either. Hoping you have a better experience ... looking forward to reading it tomorrow!

Cannot believe your DH was able to get you into both restaurants as walkups. Heck, don't stress over ADR's, just let hubby walk up to whereever you want to eat & charm the host/hostess!

Thanks for the reviews! I was thinking about doing Teppan Edo or Tokyo Dining but now I know NOT to do Teppan Edo! Doesn't looked like there's much for vegetarians

I've seen 2 very positive vegetarian reviews of Teppan Edo recently, they do a huge stir fry with tofu and veggies and they prepare it first so that there's no meat contamination. I read a lot of vegetarian reviews so I can't tell you who it was, though.

 

[auntfrannie]

Sounds like it's time to pass the ADR baton along to He Who Rules The ADR World!

I know what you mean about Roaring Forks. My mother and I stayed there last October and it was always packed and had uncontrollable lines. Especially bad because it's such a tiny place. What made it worse was the mgr was just standing around looking at people and not actually doing anything to help! We got their croissant sandwiches (yick) one day then switched to oatmeal and yogurt parfaits.

Enjoy yourselves today! Thanks for taking time to post your live updates!

 

[Disneymama5816]

Thanks again for the updates!!! Hope the rain is gone so you can enjoy your day. Looking forward to WCC - we cancelled ours for next week - hope it wasn't a mistake!!

 

[jenjolt]

Wow what a day!!!! The Plaza looks amazing!! I've been trying to get in there for my solo Saturday at MK, maybe I'll try your DH's method and try to get a table by walking up LOL!! That philly cheese and reuben both looked AMAZING!!!!!

Teppan Edo is another on the must try list, won't make it on the next trip but sometime in the future!! Glad your DH loved it!!!

Hmmm...WCC can't wait to hear your review on it!! ANd yes I think you must buy a couple of those pecan cinnamon rolls to take home with you and if you don't mind I think you ship me one LOL!!!!!
