What IS a tigger tail?

 

[Disneylvrforever]

What IS a tigger tail?

They are 3 marshmallows on a stick, dipped in caramel, and then dipped in orange flavored white chocolate, w/ a drizzle of milk chocolate. I'm not an expert on Tigger Tails, but that is my interpretation.

I actually don't like my marshmallows dipped in caramel bc I hate the feeling of it sticking to my teeth. But a nice CM was willing to make one for me w/out caramel (as long as I waited about 15 min. for her to set it up). But it was worth the wait bc it was made fresh just for me! It was so nice and soft.

with all the photos i had seen i had to have one. did not like it but for those that do here you go

Thanks for posting this. I had made Tigger tails for DD Kindergarden class, but had forgotten put the stick through the sides of the marshmallows. (I put the stick through each end of the Marshmallows). Going through the side makes it looks like the "tail" has some bounce.

yes they were a hit with the kids.

The dragon roll looked sooooo good.

well they have something out for breakfast( continental) bagel, muffins, cereals, Plain/chocolate filled croissants, fruit oj, apple juice etc. from 6:30-10 and from 11-4 they had cookies, teacakes(turkery cheese, salmon and something else)/ pb and j sandwiches,choco strawberries, veggie platters and fruit with warm scones. From 5-7 they had a wine and cheese reception with beer and wine unlimited i think and always had a "hot item avail. one night was crab cakes, one was.... crap i can't remember it was a Indian dish i think but it was wrapped like a won ton but very good( spicy though). and then from 8-10 they had cookies, milk,trail mix, and assorted desserts such as the cheese cake and chocolate puffs, chocolate mousse cups etc( and 8:15 story time), fruit and choco berries etc. they had unlimited sprite, coke, dasani water , tea, coacoa , coffee all day long. We did not make the wine and cheese every night only twice. but had breakfast there everyday but Friday. It was really nice for the kids to be able to take the key and get what the wanted every day. They really liked it. I am a DVC owner and i used points.. not sure if i'd pay money for the service even though points was not the best use of it either but i had some developer points to use. And since this was a kick back trip we actually used the lounge. Every other trip we have been in the parks all day long and in that case it would not be worth it.

Thank you for the quick response...I really appreciate your insight.

Me too, we're thinking about it, but it might not be worth it.

Okay, I was at DLR this past summer and now looking at all this food makes me hungry... and makes me realize how I gained the weight on the trip. First of all, the Blue Bayou was EXCELLENT! We had never been and loved it so much after our dinner there that we immediately made reservations for a second visit later in the trip. Service was great, food was amazing. My only complaint was that I was too full to eat everything. The gumbo was so good. The second trip we knew better, and my teenage brother and I shared a meal. I was still really full leaving!
Also, the Dole Whips at the Tiki Room are a must-have. My brother wanted to try one, and they filled it so full I don't know how it fit. I wish I had pictures of that one; it filled up the bowl and towered so high above it it looked like it could fill another 2 bowls.
Also, I don't know what the place is called, but there is a place in Downtown Disney that has those great strawberry skewers and other treats - absolutely sinful!

 

[Piglet18]

Oh, and has anybody mentioned the peanut-butter jelly pizza at Goofy's Kitchen? I know it sounds kind of gross, but it actually is pretty good - mostly tastes like PB and J on toast. I know little kids love it, but I was there with two teenagers and we all had seconds. It just seems so... well, appropriately, Goofy.

 

[Piglet18]

It is very filling but very good. Hard to eat a whole one; was better when we shared. Does anybody know where on earth I would find a recipe for the kind they have at Blue Bayou? I have never had one quite like it; not sure about elsewhere Disney.

The original recipe is in a cookbook that came out awhile ago in a book sold at the gourmet shop in New Orleans Square. I just made some a couple of weeks ago, and they were really good! You can find the recipe online as well...just do a Google search for "Blue Bayou Monte Cristo"

My version of that cookbook is called Cooking With Mickey, and I got it YEARS ago - like waaaaaay back in the late '80s or early '90s, but I saw other updated variations of it come out after that and they had slightly different titles. To my knowledge, that gourmet shop is no longer in NOS (correct me if I am wrong), but I think I saw it being sold somewhere else last year. I just cannot recall where. Possibly in the Market House. I actually think I got mine in one of the hotel gift shops, so I doubt they are too hard to find, and the book was pretty cool because it gave the recipes to many of the DLR restaurant meals that we all love. I can only imagine that the most recent version of the book probably has recipes to more current DLR restaurants, and maybe even DCA food too?

Yes! That's the one! Cooking With Mickey, a GREAT book! Unfortunately, the gourmet shop is no more...but...I've seen the newer version of the same cookbook, plus a couple of others (can't recall the titles offhand) at Market House and the gift shop at DLH. I don't know if the newer books have any DCA recipes...I was sort of afraid to look through them, as I already own around 150 cookbooks and didn't need to be bringing home any new ones at the time But I know they carry these newer books at both of the places I mentioned, at least they did as of about 1 1/2 months ago.

I know what you mean! When I saw the book last year - I suppose it WAS the Market House now that you confirm it is sold there - I was tempted to pick it up because I wanted to see if any of the newer restaurants' recipes were included, but I knew if I did and they were, then I would want to buy it, and I already don't have enough room for all the books I have! So I left it alone! I haven't pulled out my ancient Cooking With Mickey book in ages, but I bet if I were to go through it, I would find some recipes for food at a few restaurants that are no longer at DLR. Maybe not too many, but there are probably a few in there!
