1. The one dish, or food item you MUST have when your in the PARKS?
citrus swirl from Sunshine Tree Terrace at the exit of Tiki Birds-nostalgic for me


2. The one restaurant you MUST eat at when visiting WDW?
Not sure I have a must. I'd say Wolfgang Puck Express.


3. The one dish or food item from that restaurant you MUST have?
Geez, most anything. Used to be the Chicken Dinner, then the BBQ Chicken Quesadilla, now maybe the mac and cheese. (I'll test them all next month and get back to ya..lol)

4. The one drink you must have when visiting WDW?
Anything sitting on the beach at the Poly watching the Electrical Water Pageant (probably club soda with lime...yeah, I'm boring and my new synthroid medication interacts with alcohol. If i had a choice I'd be sucking back a Tequilla Sunrise.)
OOOh, they used to have some chocolate banana drink at the Contemporary Lounge before they remodeled it. Don't know if they still have it. It was some "monkey" named thing. WOW, GOOD!


5. and lastly what is the BEST thing you ever ate at WDW?

These are getting tougher and tougher (35 visits..ugg..dunno).
Mini Pizza (NOT THE NEW ONES) in Fantasyland. When I was a little kid, Fantasyland was where I could get my OWN little kid size pizza and it was the coolest thing in the world. This was before Pizza Hut even had individual pan pizzas. No other restaurant back then served little pizzas anywhere. There were no mini microwave pizzas. So, this was really special.
I remember sitting at a picnic table in Fantasyland with my own little white box with my own little pizza and being super happy. I have no idea if it tasted good. BUT IT WAS THE BEST THING THAT I EVER ATE AT WDW!

Had a chance to think (yeah, bored today) and I'm gonna say favorite place I MUST eat at is the Grand Floridian Garden Room Tea.

Favorite Drink is the Princess 'flavor' (made with real princesses??) Tea at the Garden Room Tea....on ice.
