wow, hi everyone! lots of people on board, yahooo!!!
this is gonna be a real real quickie, i have to head out the door in about 5 minutes. but anyway, here we go!!!!
Main Street Bakery, breakfast, 3.4.08
The line wasn't too bad when I arrived here around 10:15am. I'm used to seeing it all the way out to the door, but I only had like 10 people in front of me. So that made me happy. But what didn't make me happy? Well, when I asked for a French Toast Loaf, I was told they retired it. What???? I know, you all have had time to digest this by now, but it was a major shocker for me. I may have mentioned this before, but this is seriously the ONLY food in the world (not just the Disney World, the entire World!!!) that I sincerely looked forward to eating. And they took it away. I almost cried. I kid you not.
So I stood there in shock for a couple minutes, and finally decided I may as well try the cinnamon roll, since it gets rave reviews on here too. Well, fine, that will have to do. And I always get a plain soymilk here. So I asked for one. To my surprise (again!!!), well, they have downsized. It used to be a nice big bottle, but now it's like a juice pack thing. Bummer! Also grabbed a banana on my way to check out.
And so here's my tray
And a close up of the cinnamon roll
I'm sorry, I wanted to love it. Maybe it was just the disappointment, but well, I thought it was just okay. I will not be waiting on any long bakery lines anytime in the near future. At least not unless they unretire my beloved french toast loaf.
next up: drinks, of course!

I never tried the french toast loaf but I'm sorry for your loss. 
I think the cinnamon bun looks just "meh."

yeah, it actually looks quite impressive, i must admit! just can never live up to my love, the french toast loaf!
thanks!
I can't believe they retired it before I had a chance to try it.
you never tried it?????? oh no!!!! that is horrible! i have read that the recipe is available though, so when i find it, i will surely share it!

World Showcase, alcohol, 3.4.08
So my first day was jam packed. About as jam packed as it could possibly get! I had spent the night before w/my BFF's parents (you'll see them later at California Grill, er, or at least their food!), and BFF's dad got me to Pop in time to check in and get to MK for opening. Can't stress enough how much I love these people! They are my Florida parents. For real.
Okay, so you saw what I had in the MK. Then I headed over to the WWoS for the Yankees vs. Braves game. I'm a Yankees fan. I know this isn't a trip report, it's a food one, but hey, indulge me a bit! I've tried writing regular trippies and I usually fade out. So yeah, stayed at the game for about 1.5 hours, then cabbed it over to the BW and walked through the International Gateway, because I *needed* to see Off Kilter. Oh, and I needed some booze too!
So, my first stop, was to France. Because, that Grey Goose Slush, oh man, I just cannot resist!
Deeeeeeee-licious! Love this thing. Can't get enough! Well, apparently, I had enough time before the 3:30 Off Kilter Show to grab another drink. Which I did at the Rose & Crown Pub. I got my regular, the Welsh Dragon. This has been a standard for me, even if it's not all that strong, but just wait for me to switch it up in a few days!
Good stuff. It's got that green liquor, and some minty stuff, and some tropical type juices. It's good, if not all that strong.
So I saw me some Off Kilter (w/o Jamie...boooo!), then of course, I got another drink. After stopping off at the Visa Meet and Greet (Love this thing!!!!), I stopped off at Mexico. I always make sure to get myself a Green Apple Margarita at least once per trip.
I am beginning to realize that it's not tequila that I don't like....it's the margarita's in Mexico in Epcot! Blasphemy, I know. But I read in MickeyNicki's report that she said it was medicine-y, and I totally agree! Many other great drinks I would rather spend my money on! So maybe I won't be stopping off at Mexico as often now on. We shall see.
Quite amusing, this next drink, I do not have in my notes. I must have gone to the R&C pub again, as I have another picture of another Welsh Dragon. Must have been before the 5:30 Off Kilter show, as I headed over to MGM after that show. Oh, okay, so here it is
Again, nice, if not strong enough. More Off Kilter, still no Jamie. Major bummer! After their 5:30 set, I needed to walk myself over to MGM, since they closed at 7pm, and I needed to go say hi to David
.
Tune In Lounge, alcohol, 3.4.08
Ah yes, my favorite place. I arrived around 6:30 and made my way straight to the bar. Dave was happy to see me, mentioning that he wondered when I would make my way in. Haha, sorry, I had big plans today! So of course I sat down, on the left side of the bar, and ordered my usual Grandma's Picnic Punch
(haha, after reviewing my post, I notice you can see the bottom of David's body in this picture! eeeeeexcellent!)
Num, num, num, num!!!! Love this drink! And Dave makes it the best! I may be biased. I apologize for that! LOL! But yeah, my notes tell me I had 2, even though I only have a picture of the one. Oh well! I had another drink once I got to dinner. Which was at Spoodles. Which will be up next!
next up: dinner @Spoodles
