Ok, I'm gonna update right now with Planet Hollywood. I've had a lot of work lately so I haven't been updating as often as I'd like to.

But, here we go!

Jumping on board & eagerly waiting for more.

Welcome!

So, here we are at Planet Hollywood. Today was another DTD day. Nope, nobody's bored. We've explored every nook and cranny of DTD since the first day, but that's okay! We're in Disney; nobody's getting tired of it under my watch.

Planet Hollywood is huge and chock-full of entertaining memorabillia. I loved the atmosphere.

We started off with the

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Parmesan Spinach Dip - creamy parmesan cheese dip with spinach and mushrooms served with crisp tortilla chips and pico de gallo $7.95[/FONT]

This was really good. The spinach dip was hot and gooey. When you stick the tortilla chips in the dip, the cheese would stretch out; it was really stringy. We finished all the tortilla chips and had extra dip so we requested some more chips. The chips came in a minute and we ate 'em up.​

Both Mom (Minnie) and Dale had the
Mushroom Onion and Swiss Burger - sauteed fresh mushrooms and onion layered on top of our classic burger complete with imported Swiss cheese $11.95​

Minnie subbed fries for mash.​

Here it is:

And here is Dale's:

And here it is again after they decided that a close-up would be best for my reviews:

They both ate it all so it must've been good. The mashed potatoes were kind of dry. They were creamy; not chunky. They didn't taste very buttery either. Minnie didn't like them so she asked the waiter for fries.
The fries were really crispy and good.​

I ordered a turkey burger and subbed fries for mash:

I love mashed potatoes so usually when a restaurant can sub fries for mash, I'll take it. These were just okay...not the best mash I've tried. They didn't really have a taste but I ate it anyway..
The turkey burger was great. Really juicy and not dry at all. I used some of the leftover Spinach dip for it and that tasted really good on it. ​

Overall, we liked our Planet Hollywood experience. Usually we go to Rainforest Cafe but wanted to change it a little. The atmosphere is fun but it's really loud in there!

Next up is Day 4, Beach Club Marketplace!​

Day 4 coming right up.

 

[Pirate Me]

Here we are at our 4th day of Disney.
For breakfast, we walked over to concierge and ate there.
Today was a no-park day. We start the parks on Day 5! So, today we stayed around the lovely Beach Club.

On the DDP, we ate at Beach Club Marketplace for lunch.

I had the Grilled Vegetable Wrap $4.99
Here it is opened so you can get an idea of what's inside:

This was given cold, but if you'd like you can heat it up at the Marketplace's microwave. I think it'd be best cold, though.
The veggies were very fresh and crunchy! I really liked this. Inside was asparagus, carrots, onions, mushrooms, and some tomatoes. It tasted like they put a red pepper hummus in it too.

And Dale had a Roast Beef and Brie on Ciabatta Roll $6.99

Eh. He ate it but didn't like it at first. I just don't think he likes brie...so after picking out the cheese it was declared okay.

Minnie had a Made to Order Salad $8.19

Very fresh and this was HUGE. Great value..it was a dinner sized salad portion..but don't get your hopes up too much because they recently (meaning last month or so) cut the size of the bowl in half! I was let down to see the new bowl size....
Anyway, there's a salad station where you pretty much tell the person up front what kind of leaves you'd like and what toppings. This has everything but nuts, cranberries, and egg. The grilled chicken was very good. It's topped with ceaser dressing. We got salads from here about 4 times during the trip. They really are great.

Dessert time.

Dale had a vanilla cupcake:

Sponge cake with vanilla frosting and Mickey sprinkles. I wonder if they sell those Mickey sprinkles? I love them! The cupcake was fine, nothing special, but it satisfied a sweet tooth.

Minnie had a coconut creme bar:

I really can't tell you how it was because it stayed in the bag for a while before we threw it out..it looked really good though.

I wanted something light so I got a fruit tart:

And light it was! The custard was subtly sweet but the fruit really made it sweet. The fruit on top was very fresh tasting! I enjoyed it.

Our drinks were water, Coke, and a Caribou ice coffee (which we got many times as a drink but I don't think anyone actually ever opened it..)

A perfect lunch to a perfect day. We ate this in a seating area outside by Stormalong Bay and it was very nice outside!

We ate at concierge for dinner. We really weren't going to..but it was so tempting...so we said we'd only eat a little bit before going out..but we ended up eating until we were full enough to pass on dinner.

 

[anbouk]

Aahhh....sooo nice! Loving your food trippie! Keep it coming!

 

[keelyhealthnut]

I get so tired of the same veggie wraps that I always run across. That one sounds so good though!

 

[keelyhealthnut]

Duplicate post!

(I was just so excited about that veggie wrap. ) Haha!

Great reviews and pictures so far Looking forward to more.

It was.

Thank you.

Next set of reviews coming right up..

So, this is the start to our more food-filled adventure.

For breakfast, we ate at concierge. This place is the best! It's nice to wake up in the morning and sit there before heading out to the parks.

Today was our first park day!! We were extremely excited. It was between Magic Kingdom and Epcot for a while...we picked..

That's right; Epcot! Ahh..Epcot. I love the World Showcase. And the Beach Club is so close to Epcot! When you walk outside the hotel, Epcot is a 2 minute walk away. This was kind of amusing. We spent nearly every day in Epcot at some point.

We walked around the whole World Showcase before stopping to decide on what we wanted for lunch. I suggested Tangierine Cafe in Morocco, and that's where we went.

Minnie had a Mediterranean Wrap - served with Tangierine Couscous salad and lentil salad. Chicken $8.95

It looked good. I tried some of the lentil salad and liked it, but nobody else agreed with me. Everything else was good too.

Dale had a lamb Shawarma Platters - served with side of hummus, tabbouleh and Tangierine CousCous salad with fresh Moroccan bread. Lamb $11.95

The platters were good. I had the same thing, except I got chicken instead of lamb. The chicken is very moist. This made a nice CS meal. The hummus was really good on the bread. I really liked the cous cous and the tabbouleh was cold and refreshing. They use an ice cream scoop for that hummus. The CMs really give you a good portion of it.

Chip just had french fries.

They give you a paper plate filled with fries. It was a great value too, because it was less than $3 among all the other things that we've gotten.

The three of us, excluding Chip had the baklava for dessert.

These were really good. I love baklava, so it didn't dissapoint. They were very sweet and sticky being a honey-drenched dessert.

Tangierine Cafe was great. We'll definitely go again. It was air conditioned inside, so a great place to relax in the middle of the day.

After Morocco, we went around Epcot more and did a few rides in Future World. After heading back to the World Showcase, Dale decided that he wanted something..Crepes were a snack credit and France was close, so that was what we chose.
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Crepes au chocolat, confiture de fraise ou sucre - crepes filled with chocolate, strawberry preserve or sugar $4.00[/FONT]

He chose the chocolate one.

They make the crepes right in front of you so they're hot and fresh. I didn't have any, but it looked pretty good and it was gone in a few seconds.

Next up is Cantina de San Angel.

 

[Pirate Me]

First of all, I'm so sorry for the late update! I got caught up in a lot of things and left this alone a bit.

After our day at Epcot, we went back to the Beach Club. We were headed to the room when C ran to concierge. He loved watching TV in there. We followed him and saw the dinner food. They had so many appetizers and such. I'll post the concierge food all together at some point. Everything there is so good!

We snacked a bit (loved their corn chowder!) and then went back to Epcot for the night to watch Illuminations.

Oooh no, we were planning on eating at Cantina de san Angel! Well, it's Disney and we'll eat whatever we want, even if we ate already. This has become common practice at the BC. Before dinner, we would go into the lounge and snack. Depending on how much you eat (meal or snack!) the lounge is the perfect place for a quick appy before dinner at a restaurant.

D ran to get some fish and chips because he didn't want anything from the Cantina.

Fish & Chips - 2 strips of fish served with chips $7.99

which came with a dessert.

Shortbread - $1.69

I didn't take a picture of D's meal. The fish looked SUPER GREASY! I think I gagged. He claimed that he liked it, though. The shortbread was a small package of Walkers shortbread cookies. I LOVE those. They were soft and buttery. Very good.

So, we walked through the International Gateway to the Mexico.
DUCKS are everywhere by Cantina de san Angel. They're all waiting for someone to sneak them a bite of Churro (which quite a lot of people were doing!)

We honestly weren't that hungry...we got two Plato Combinacions and shared them amongst us.

Plato Combinacion - chicken taco, beef burrito and a quesadilla served with black refried beans and Mexican salsa $8.99

I liked the Mexican salsa on top of the tacos. The quesadilla was a bit tough...but the beef burrito was my favorite. It was really soft. Loved the black beans as refried beans are one of my favorite sides. We'd definitely come here again. The Plato Combinacion has a lot of food so it was easy to share. I have to admit, I've read some bad reviews about this place and it made me wonder if it was a good idea but we really did like it.

We were on the DDP so we got two packages of Bimbunuelos.

Let me tell you, if you want to enjoy the Bimbunuelos just don't look at the nutrition facts on the back. They were crispy and sweet. I didn't care for them, but M and D liked them.

Drinks were Dasani bottles.

Next up: Yum! Main Street Bakery! One of my new favorites.

 

[Pirate Me]

Day 6!

Today was a Magic Kingdom day!

We skipped the lounge this morning scared1: , I know!) because we HAD to go to the Main Street Bakery on an empty stomach. This place has crazy lines, though. I definitely think it's worth it but man, the lines were so long!

When we finally got to the counter, we got one French Toast Loaf, one Cinnamon roll, and one ham, egg, and cheese croissant.

Now, I heard somewhere on DIS that they discontinued my precious French Toast Loaf?! It was the BEST thing I tasted at Disney! I can't believe they'd discontinue something so good.

French Toast Loaf

Oh, this was SO soft, warm, and chewy! It was coated with powdered sugar that melted while we were eating it. It was SO rich and yummy. Perfect way to start a magical MK morning. We took some maple syrup packets and dunked it in there.

Next was the cinnamon roll.

Now, this was HUGE! It was soft and easy to pull apart and share. Rich and chewy..definitely one thing we're going to get again!! I haven't found a better cinnamon roll since. They're so big that it almost seems impossible to tackle by yourself. It's so rich, I'd be full by the time I'm halfway full.

And the ham, egg, and cheese sandwich.

This was one of WDW's better breakfast croissants. The croissant was buttery, flaky, and pulled apart. The ham was tender and the eggs were really good. The eggs weren't tough at all. Perfect! I liked it better than BC Marketplace's breakfast croissants.

We got fruit bowls with the food. Compared to everything else, it was eh. Just wanted to feel healthy after eating all of that food. The grapes were really crunchy, though.

And that was Main Street Bakery! Definitely on top of the to-do list for next time! Everything was perfect.

Next up: Beaches and Cream
