MagicBands + Margaritas + Muggles + Minions = TRP. New TR link is up! 10/31

I was beginning to wonder if you had anything to eat with all of those empty spots on the buffet. :lmao::lmao::lmao:

By the way, E's plate of gummy bears is not there...it's a duplicate of a previous picture.

I'm glad you all ended up having an enjoyable dinner and that everyone loved the food after the day you'd had.
 
I had TE scheduled for Abby's graduation trip, but at the last minute canceled it. I don't remember why now either. :confused3 It looks like I will definitely have to revisit the menu. ::yes::
Nothing better than comfort food on a gloomy, rainy day. :thumbsup2
 
I've never considered eating at TE before, but I think I should because they food looks FABULOUS! And like you said, total comfort food. I bet that bottle of wine was just the ending you needed for that day.
 
I didn't even think of a graduation bear. I considered getting the grad ears for K but it kind of felt like a lot of $$ to spend on something she'd maybe not be at all into.

Yes they are really cute and I hid them so the girls will get them next month!! I think it will be a change from flowers !!!:cool1:



Well someone had to be in, logistics were involved!

:rotfl:

And who better than the Logistic Queen!!!:goodvibes

The first surprise is up on my new TR!!!!:confused3:confused3
 

Wow! Nice to nearly see the great food at TE. More than anything else, the empty plates tell me what great food it must be at TE.....



.....either that......or everyone was hungry!!!


Pity about the rain. Hope the weather was kinder the next day.
 
Cold, wet and starving.......... what better way to improve the conditions than to rely on some good ole' comfort food!!! :woohoo: It looks like a great meal. I've never been to TE before, but it is definitely on my list and your pictures move it up a little higher! :thumbsup2
 
We love Trail's End for both breakfast and dinner. Our favorite thing to do is to walk over there when we are staying at the WL. The fried chicken is really good. You have to time it just right so that you aren't finished eating at the same time that the HDDR is letting out. The lines for the boats can be quite long then.
 
I'm glad I backtracked because I missed the soggy afternoon. What a terrible experience with that horrible waitress :(

Wonderful that you and Jeff were able to find some alone time in all the craziness!

I'm glad you were able to still laugh and have a lovely dinner :)
 
Yummy! I've heard fabulous things about the food at Trail's End, both breakfast and dinner, and it looks delicious! And at such a great price too, if only it wasn't so out of the way (which is why I'm sure it stays at such a great price). I definitely want to schedule a trip out there for our next time out.
 
A yummy buffet full of good BBQ and comfort foods sounds perfect after a wet and soggy day. How much is TE?
 
I am glad the evening got better.
Have been meaning to try Trails End but my stupid allergies might get in the way.
Maybe in Aug? Will be a short boat ride or walk over.

The food looks good and I am sure the comfort food hit the spot.
 
Congrats on running the race on so little sleep! You're motivated!

I don't think we could have held it together for dinner after a long day like you had. Especially being wet...yuck! At least the food was worth it!
 
Welcome home, glad to hear you had a fab time, I'd love to do a girlie trip like that, if only I lived closer to WDW.

Great news on raising so much money for a good cause. Evan wasn't interested in running then? (not that I blame him!)

I'm sure i'll make it to TE one day but probably not on my next trip, my restaurant list is already too long.
 
Welcome back! So glad you & MEK had such a fun time. So sorry we missed you -- maybe next time!

Ugh to alll the rain but kudos to you for putting on a happy face and making the best of it. We had a rainy few days in May and it is frustrating!!!

I am, in general, not a buffet fan but I continue to hear great things about Trails End. Warm, cozy comfort food on a cold, rainy night sounds like just what the doctor ordered.

Here's hoping the next day dawns nice & sunny!
 
Ok, seeing this update is making me seriously reconsider my ADR choices and see where I can cram this one in... I just don't see it working out, but Trails End is definitely on the list of places to try out sometime soon.

I'm glad that your dinner there was just what your group needed to get everyone back on even keel after the not quite perfect experience at IOA.:thumbsup2
 
:rotfl:at your empty buffet plates, your lack of your plate pictures and your EWP picture! CUTE!

Vultures, we were vultures!

I think my family would enjoy that buffet - it looks like a lot of things they would eat. Quite a lot of options! I didn't see it but did they have any mac and cheese?

I am almost positive they did....I could ask the boys but I swear they had some. On my 2nd plate I was able to snag a fresh piece of the fried chicken. YUM! I mean really, fried chicken, cornbread, potato salad....I know I ate other stuff but those stood out for me.

That might be a nice thing to try over the holiday trip - and if the weather is nice, we could see the campsite decorations that day too.

Good thing you had a shirt and shoes to change into so you weren't wet through dinner!

Well if memory serves the bigger thing was probably getting wet hair into a ponytail and hat one but who knows. I did change something that's all I recall. LOL! I still want to see the decorations. Sniff.

I was beginning to wonder if you had anything to eat with all of those empty spots on the buffet. :lmao::lmao::lmao:

The funniest is if you look at the picture of Evan (fixed now) you'll see an empty plate covered in what looks like a cream sauce.

It's not.

Eric decided (I think it was Eric) to put ice cream on a plate...since there were no bowls. And those plates were warm. Ice cream soup on a plate. DOH!

By the way, E's plate of gummy bears is not there...it's a duplicate of a previous picture.

Fixed, thanks!

I'm glad you all ended up having an enjoyable dinner and that everyone loved the food after the day you'd had.

We did, it was a nice end. Would have been nicer without the boat/bus ride home but it was ok. No faster way really even if we'd have had a car.

I had TE scheduled for Abby's graduation trip, but at the last minute canceled it. I don't remember why now either. :confused3 It looks like I will definitely have to revisit the menu. ::yes::
Nothing better than comfort food on a gloomy, rainy day. :thumbsup2

Probably due to it being a bit of a pain to get to. It was worth it though and I definitely want to go again.

I've never considered eating at TE before, but I think I should because they food looks FABULOUS! And like you said, total comfort food. I bet that bottle of wine was just the ending you needed for that day.

It was simply perfect all around. The food was really really good, exactly what we all needed.

I didn't even think of a graduation bear. I considered getting the grad ears for K but it kind of felt like a lot of $$ to spend on something she'd maybe not be at all into.

Yes they are really cute and I hid them so the girls will get them next month!! I think it will be a change from flowers !!!:cool1:

Very cute idea, I feel bad now that I didn't get something. I should have looked harder.

Well someone had to be in, logistics were involved!

:rotfl:

And who better than the Logistic Queen!!!:goodvibes

The first surprise is up on my new TR!!!!:confused3:confused3

I didn't get the name "geeky" by accident. I was just glad my phone held up battery wise between those texts and the stuff we were planning for Kat. I was starting to worry it would be dead before I got to the airport for my flight. LOL!

I see the surprise. Super cute pictures!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
The buffet does look good !!I have never eaten there but Christine raves about it

You would love it Rosie, you need to make it over there one of these days. Just fun, good solid comfort food. I loved it. A better fall or winter meal than in the heat of summer though.

Wow! Nice to nearly see the great food at TE. More than anything else, the empty plates tell me what great food it must be at TE.....

Nearly see :rotfl:

I tried


.....either that......or everyone was hungry!!!

Yes, yes we were!

Pity about the rain. Hope the weather was kinder the next day.

Well, it was different, I will say that.

Cold, wet and starving.......... what better way to improve the conditions than to rely on some good ole' comfort food!!! :woohoo: It looks like a great meal. I've never been to TE before, but it is definitely on my list and your pictures move it up a little higher! :thumbsup2

Oh you really should go if you can, it's a bit out of the way but totally worth it. Lots of options too

We love Trail's End for both breakfast and dinner. Our favorite thing to do is to walk over there when we are staying at the WL. The fried chicken is really good. You have to time it just right so that you aren't finished eating at the same time that the HDDR is letting out. The lines for the boats can be quite long then.

The fried chicken, especially if you get it right when they replenish...YUM! So good. Good point on HDDR timing, hadn't thought about that. Luckily it wasn't an issue

I'm glad I backtracked because I missed the soggy afternoon. What a terrible experience with that horrible waitress :(

You were busy cruising with your lovely mom!

Wonderful that you and Jeff were able to find some alone time in all the craziness!

Unexpected alone time that is for sure but it all worked out

I'm glad you were able to still laugh and have a lovely dinner :)

What else can you do but laugh? It happens. Bummer that it was on that day but honestly, had it not, the kids wouldn't have gotten on as many rides as they did because the rain did really help with the crowds and lines. It helped us too once we finally made it back in.
 
Yummy! I've heard fabulous things about the food at Trail's End, both breakfast and dinner, and it looks delicious! And at such a great price too, if only it wasn't so out of the way (which is why I'm sure it stays at such a great price). I definitely want to schedule a trip out there for our next time out.

I am sure the location has something to do with the price. I also think they are sensitive to "camping" budget versus more of a traditional moderate resort.

It is worth the trip though!

I have to tell you, after your post about the Soarin' music as an alarm song, I added it into my list. Love it!

A yummy buffet full of good BBQ and comfort foods sounds perfect after a wet and soggy day. How much is TE?

It varies by season and day of the week but around $24-26. They take TIW. So it's not "cheap" but by Disney Buffet prices, it is and it's great for the true kid price ($13-14)

I am glad the evening got better.
Have been meaning to try Trails End but my stupid allergies might get in the way.
Maybe in Aug? Will be a short boat ride or walk over.

You'd definitely need to meet with the chef but given how huge the spread is I would think there are some things that would work.

The food looks good and I am sure the comfort food hit the spot.

The food was fabulous

Congrats on running the race on so little sleep! You're motivated!

Not so sure about motivated but I'd promised Jeff and the fact that it turned into a family and community event helped lessen the pain of the idea. the reality is that it is about what I'd have run at home that day anyway as normal routine so other than the getting up early (and the time change did help with that actually) it wasn't that bad. It was the getting to bed late that sucked!

I don't think we could have held it together for dinner after a long day like you had. Especially being wet...yuck! At least the food was worth it!

It was worth it and honestly, the idea of all trying to eat in the villa, which we discussed as an option and bailing on the ressie since we did have the fixings for taco bar (though now I worry they'd have tried to charge the room since I did have a card on file) but as you know, the BWV kitchen and dining area just really doesn't fit that many for eating very well at all and felt like far more work than the trek to TE.

Welcome home, glad to hear you had a fab time, I'd love to do a girlie trip like that, if only I lived closer to WDW.

You could do a girlie trip to DLP :goodvibes

It was a fab trip!!!

Great news on raising so much money for a good cause. Evan wasn't interested in running then? (not that I blame him!)

Nope. He flat out refused. Wouldn't even consider the 1 or 4 mile walk. In all fairness he was in the middle of the HS musical and stretched to the limit in terms of time and energy between that and school. He ran in MS, did XC and Track but had lots of issues with what was then diagnosed as PF or tendonitis. It wasn't either, it was a growth plate issue but either way he associates running with pain and won't do it. He wouldn't have that kind of pain now but mentally he's got to get over it first and I get that.

I'm sure i'll make it to TE one day but probably not on my next trip, my restaurant list is already too long.

It's hard to narrow it down, isn't it?
 
Seems like you hit Trail's End at the perfect time...comfort food at the end of a cold, wet, tiring day. :thumbsup2
