Continuing with
Figment’s Halloween Adventure...
Jolly Holiday (Snack/Dinner)
Figment’s favorite place to get a snack and do some people watching is Jolly Holiday. There are very good entrees (soups, salads, sandwiches) and excellent desserts. This time, he tried several of the new seasonal items.
Pumpkin Cupcake – Figment thought this was a very cute cupcake. It was a Mickey pumpkin! The cupcake itself was not pumpkin (which was okay with Figment because he’s not a huge fan of pumpkin). It was more like an apple spice cake.
Raspberry Mickey Macaron – This was one of Figment’s favorite desserts on this trip! It was a large(ish) macaron with a raspberry cream filling and fresh raspberries. The macaron shell was crisp and slightly chewy. The cream was sweet, but the raspberry were slightly tart, so it was a great combination!
Chocolate Mickey Macaron – Jolly Holiday’s other Mickey Macaron was filled with chocolate mousse. It was rich, but good (but Figment liked the raspberry one better).
S’Mores Bar – Oh my! This was Figment’s other favorite dessert on this trip! It had a very rich Carmel-chocolate base inside the crust with dollops of chocolate mousse, topped with a graham cracker and marshmallow. It was so rich, but so good! They only have a limited quantity per day, so if you wait until the end of the day, they may be sold out (Figment found out the hard way).
Éclair – Figment had the éclair with pearls. It was yummy (slightly messy to eat, but tasty).
Chocolate-Peanut Butter Whoopie Pie – This was very rich, but very good. The shell was moist and chocolaty, but the filling was where most of the flavor came from. It was like eating peanut butter flavored frosting. Very good, but very sweet.
Mickey Bat Cookie – The first time Figment saw this cookie, he thought the orange spots were messy flakes from some other cookies, but then a closer inspection revealed they were the vampire’s fangs! So cute! Figment liked this shortbread cookie; it had a buttery flavor and was fairly moist.
Corn Chowder – Figment decided to try both of the soups being offered at Jolly Holiday that night. He felt that the corn chowder was a little on the thin side (it was not as creamy as Storyteller’s version), but it had a “fair amount” of corn kernels and potatoes in it.
Tomato Basil Soup with Grilled Cheese Sandwich Pieces – Figment has had the tomato basil soup before, so he wanted to try it with the grilled cheese pieces this time. The grilled cheese tasted good once dipped in the soup, but he liked the soup better.
River Belle Terrace (Breakfast)
Figment decided to have breakfast at the River Belle Terrace one morning. He wanted to get the Haunted Mansion stretching portrait (Mickey, Donald, and Goofy in the Quicksand), so he had to eat at the River Belle Terrace. Breakfast is a nice option because he could sit outside and people watch.
Steamboat - Three Fluffy Pancakes, Scrambled Eggs, and Sausage. The pancakes were nice and fluffy and the sausage was actually pretty moist and good. Figment didn’t remember the topping bar last time, but he enjoyed adding strawberry and apple topping to his pancakes.
Fruit Plate and Sausage – Figment also had the fruit plate and a side of sausage for breakfast. The fruit plate was pretty good. The melons were sweet, as were the pineapple and grapes. The strawberries were a bit tart.
I love it when Figment goes to DLR. Thanks for posting pictures of his eating adventures.
Thanks!
