I love the Figment pictures!
Well its been a year since I've been to DLR so we decided to try some new menu items.
Turkey Sandwich with sweet potato fries at Hungry Bear
This was a huge step up from their old sandwich, the wheat bun was yummy and I liked the pesto aioli.
Fried Green Tomato Sandwich with veggie slaw
I loved this sandwich! I learned that it isn't a true vegetarian option because they are anchovies in the sauce, which I would have found irritating if I were vegetarian since it is the only veggie option on their menu. I'm sure you could get it without sauce but the sauce totally makes the sandwich. I also really loved the veggie slaw, especially the mango. DH ate half of it and regretted getting the sweet potato fries instead.
Dessert, the best part: Cherry Pie and Lemon Bumblebee Cupcake
Two types of pie were offered, cherry and peach. I'm assuming they are changing the offerings throughout the year since I noticed that they were offering blueberry when the restaurant first reopened. It was good, typical pie, but I'm not a pie person. We all really loved the lemon bumblebee cupcake, it was a huge hit and quickly devoured.
Note on kids meals: we saw price increases on every kids meal we ordered (now $6.49, up from $5.99), plus decreased portion sizes. DS ordered a cheeseburger meal and it only came with one slider. It was so small, the slice of American cheese was sticking out of it quite a bit. DD had the chicken, which was also a much smaller portion. Both kids had apples since they don't like sweet potato fries.
Beef Kefta Kabob with Chimichurri Sauce:
This meal was very generous, I couldn't finish it. DH had the same thing with the Moroccan Chili sauce, which was only a little spicy, but good. I especially loved the cold veggie side with cucumber and peppers. The meat was a little greasier than I am used to (I eat extra lean), but good. I think next time I'll try the chicken or vegetable and tofu.
I don't have a pic, but we got the kids their meal at the neighboring new Boardwalk Pizza and Pasta. They serve the food cafeteria style so you could see everything before making your selection. After seeing the small portion size of the kids spaghetti, we got an adult entree and had DS and DD share. The turkey meatballs were good, along with the sauce. A few pieces of spaghetti were undercooked, but it was otherwise good. It was a huge portion, cheaper than two kids meals, and the kids didn't even finish it.
ETA: The pesto ravioli and chicken with sun dried tomato pasta looked really good, we want to try those on our next trip!
The next day we tried the new Village Haus menu. We had the kdis share a pepperoni pizza, which was the same. DH and I shared the new apple cheddar salad and the BLT flatbread pizza. I should have taken a pic, these were 2 of my favorite things from the trip. The salad was yummy, I liked the dressing, and it was filling especially considering there is no meat in it. We both loved the BLT flatbread pizza, I especially liked the shaved fennel, carmelized onions, and garlic, yum! It was dark in there so here is my fuzzy dessert pic:
Black Forest Cupcake:
The favorite dessert of the trip, beating out the above desserts, Mickey Ice Cream Bars, and Churros. Heavenly chocolate cupcake with cherries inside, whipped cream, and shaved chocolate.
We also ate at Taste Pilots Grill, an old favorite. We noticed that the chili cheese fries portion size has decreased again, going from a meal for two, to a good size meal for one, and is now a small but still filling meal for one. I ordered the kids cheeseburger meal for DS, remembering his disappointment over the one slider at Hungry Bear, only to discover they now only serve one slider here too. Everything was still good as usual, just less of it.
We ate a couple of offsite meals with friends and family so we didn't get as much Disney dining as we would have liked. We didn't make it over to Trader Sam's or Tangaroa Terrace, but we will definitely hit those on our next trip, the Tinker Bell Half Marathon weekend. I can't wait!
). Didn't take as many pics as I thought I would, but I will post them after I upload & edit them.
