You had the same group of char. as we did last March. They were so great with DS only 9 months at the time cinderella kissed him and prince charming held him so cute . We love 1900 PF although skipping it this time for Norway princess breakfast.

Your reviews are terrific!

All I can say is WOW. Perfect review so far. So jealous.

Thank you... it was a great trip!

Love your reviews! That giant gingerbread house is absolutely beautiful!!!

Isn't it amazing? It smells yummy too!

I love your review so far!


I have a cute Beverly face pic of my son too. Aren't they the best? Oh, and I adore how all the pics of Mommy with the characters are taken from the perspective of looking up. Max did a good job with those pics!

I look forward to reading more!

Ah... so you like all of my chins, huh? LOL

Thanks, I've seen a lot of not-so-flattering reviews of both places so I was very pleased to enjoy them both so much.

I can't believe how many great meals we had. We usually have at least one where we get rotten service or something that makes it not-so-great. What is your favorite dish at Tony's?

Thank you! Beverly is an English soda that you can taste (for free) at Club Cool in Epcot. There are a bunch of sodas from different countries that you can try out. Beverly tastes like earwax...

Great job on the review so far! Keep it coming! We leave in a little over 2 weeks for AKL. Did you write a separate review about the resort by any chance?

Thanks! I haven't written an AKL review, but I'd be happy to share anything you want to know. Max LOVES the pool... I love the hot tub (the one closer to the pool slide is larger and hotter - I prefer it to the one behind the bar, which is smaller and not as hot). We are in love with the feel of the resort, the relaxing low-lighting, the smells that hit you as you walk in, the savannas, the beautiful lobby and unique gift shop, and the special activities that are available (although we didn't participate in much of anything on this trip). One of the biggest advantages though is the bus service... it is far superior to other resort's buses that we have used. In fact, on this trip the longest we waited was probably 15 minutes (which is totally acceptable) and that only happened once - we had really good luck and almost always walked up as the bus was pulling in, or as the bus was ready to pull away from the curb! Max was sure it was because we rubbed the carving near the front door each time we left... I'm sure he's right!

Breakfast – The Mara
We headed down to the Mara to grab some breakfast before catching the bus to the Animal Kingdom. I had Oatmeal with Brown Sugar as a snack credit

I got Max the Adult Mickey Waffle with Bacon (sorry, I forgot and cut it all up before taking the picture - I know that's not the way you want to see Mickey's face!!!), a yogurt (snack credit too – and he only took one bite so I finished it), a large Chocolate Milk (which maybe got half finished, should’ve gotten the small…) and a Coffee (for me!)

I didn’t want to bring along the mugs since we were going to jump straight on the bus after breakfast – plus I knew we wouldn’t be able to handle so many drinks! I really love the oatmeal here, it is a little on the salty side, but the texture is perfect and the serving is plenty to fill me up for the whole morning. Max cleaned his plate, and I did get a bite of his waffle – it was very, very good – fluffy and just the right sweetness.

I see we both cut up our waffles the same way!

Wendi, I didn't know you had a report going?! Now I need to go read....................

Jenny!!! When is your next trip? And how about Disneyland? When I got back from WDW I had a letter in the mail that I won a trip to Disneyland and they had to receive my acceptance that day!!! We're going in February or March... I just have to figure out when we can do it.

I see we both cut up our waffles the same way!

Yeah, especially with kids you've got to cut 'em all up BEFORE you put the syrup on... otherwise the syrup always ends up all over the hands... icky-sticky!

Your reviews and pictures are awesome! I cannot believe how much Max has grown!!!!

You won a trip to Disneyland? How?

We are going to WDW this May! I am so excited!!!

We never made it out to Disneyland last year. Finances just didn't allow it- isn't that everyone's story lately?

I am so glad I found this! Can't wait to read more!

I'm really enjoying your reviews and pictures. I really liked our Boma breakfast too and your pics have made me decide I must fit in a return visit on our next trip.

I won the trip from the LA Fox News (Channel 11) - they had a trivia question to answer about the superbowl (yes... I definitely needed the help of Google!) three Sundays in a row. I answered twice and evidently I did something right!

I'm really enjoying your reviews and pictures. I really liked our Boma breakfast too and your pics have made me decide I must fit in a return visit on our next trip.

Boma breakfast is sooo yummy!

Great reviews and pictures!!!! Thank you for taking the time to share them!!!

Thanks... and you're welcome!

Mickey??

Poor little Mickey... he certainly was delicious though!

Lunch – Yak & Yeti
As usual, we are totally starving by now and it’s time for our 12:30 lunch ADR at Yak & Yeti.

Lunch was fabulous!!! We started with drinks, I had the Mango Iced Tea, which was delish, and what do you think Max had? Yep… that’s right, Chocolate Milk. He ordered the kid’s Cheeseburger with French Fries and Fried Rice – he loved the fries, ate half of the burger and didn’t even touch the rice.

There is no kid’s appetizer here and he was kind of perturbed that I got something to eat before he did. Our server offered to bring out his food with my appetizer, but believe me… that would’ve been much worse, because when he’s done eating, he just wants to GO.

I had the Seared Ahi Tuna appetizer and it was wonderful, the wasabi cream sauce was great and the slaw under the tuna was perfect. The flavors all worked beautifully together and I ate every last bite.

For my entrée I had the Seared Miso Glazed Salmon with Vegetables and Jasmine Rice.

The flavor of the salmon was delightful, and it was cooked so perfectly that it practically melted in my mouth. The glaze was very good, and the grilled flavor was just right. I gave a chunk of the salmon to Max and polished off the rest of the slab.

For dessert I had the Cream Cheese Won Ton Skewers with Pineapple.

I wouldn’t have ordered this without seeing it so many times and reading so many rave reviews about them; I had to try them for myself and I’m so glad I did. The honey vanilla sauce really made this dish, it was the perfect accompaniment to the tart pineapple and rich creamy cream cheese enclosed in crispy fried wontons.

Max didn’t want dessert, so I asked for the Chocolate Chip Cookie for him because I knew we could just take it with us for later.

The server actually brought him two pre-packaged cookies and Max did end up eating one of them at the table, and I ate the other one later in the day. This lunch got a huge thumbs up from both of us, we would absolutely return again.

The only downside is that Max had just gotten a leather wrist strap made with his name embossed on it in the Magic Kingdom the day before and he left it at the table and forgot it. We called lost & found and the restaurant directly but no one had turned it in… bummer! He was definitely wearing it at the table too… I can see it here:
