Nicki & Todd are at it again, F&W style, snacking & drinking oh my! LIVE Tonight!!

MickeyNicki - I just wanted to thank you for posting the pictures of the menus. Sometimes the menus we see online are completely wrong. Love your reviews!
 
Thats my job, Nicki, head Disney Food Report coming at you LIVE from Disney World! That cookie is HUGE! Is that Dennis Hopper??

:

I was thinking the exact same thing about that picture being Dennis Hopper! Now I need to know!
 

Have a great time and enjoy the day. Hope the migraine is better. And if you see that t-shirt at MK since you cancelled Kona don't forget to pick it up.

I think the cheese from Mousetrap gave me the migraine...that is one of my trigger foods...I should have known better.....I peeked into the Emporium but I didnt see the shirt that you described...I will check the big store in Epcot tomorrow

Hey Girl... sorry to hear about the migraine... and you've done Kona for breakfast before... (we know what you'd get! LOL! ;) ) I may have to drag Cait to FF instead of going to CMC for dinner.... it's on my maybe list. I've canceled Kouzinna, and put Biergarten in place of it -for the 30th... I just can't leave the ressies alone! ;)

If you are into fish and NY Strip I would dump CMC for FF anyday!

Job well done. Can't wait for more and I would like to try FF. It looked good!

It was great! Thanks for reading!

Hoping y'all have a great day!:thumbsup2

It was pretty good..but I was Senorita Cranky Pants today :laughing:

Maybe all the boozy drinks got to you:confused: Hope you're feeling much better today. :hug:

What about your Kona ADR??!! :eek: I haven't been there since the kids were born! I'm craving a breakfast without a character popping their head in my face!::MickeyMo

Loved your reviews from yesterday :thumbsup2

Off to decide if we should go see Toy Story in 3D or Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs in IMAX :confused:

Have fun in MK!! :yay: I'll be thinking of you! :flower3:

Love,
Mare

Today started off a bit rocky but I just had a nice 2 hour nap so I am much better...hmmmm, me thinks Todd has a good thing going on with this Nap Business!

Great reviews! Makes me excited for FF in December, especially after reading that they can make the pasta you got vegetarian!! WOO WOO!

Keep em comin!

It was a great dish, hope you enjoy it!

My pleasure, happy to help!

Glad you are feeling better. Thanks for looking. I know they don't have it at the big store at Epcot--unless they added it since we left. I saw it only at the Poly and at one of the stores at the MK -- I think it was the store after you left Mickey's Philharmagic.
 
Hi everyone! I am up and moving slowly from my nap, yup I said it..I took a nap! I think I pushed myself too much this morning and the bus ride made me so sick...ugh! I didnt realize that we would be stopping at YC and BC too (never did that the other times I stayed at the Swolphin) and that meant it was a longer drive than I anticipated. When we arrived at MK I just wanted water and dry toast or something to calm the nausea :sick:, that is the worst thing about a migraine is the lasting nausea.

Since MSB was closed we headed right to Caseys for something to eat.

I had a water and a bagel...it was just enough to get me calm and ready to take on the day.

Food003-4.jpg


DH had the ham egg and cheese croissant and he said it was excellent, just like all the other times we have had it.

Food002-4.jpg


We did all of Tomorrowland, Fantasyland and Frontierland by 11am..I needed some Coke to give me the caffeine I was missing and DH wanted popcorn.

Food004-4.jpg


Here is a pic of the little box

Food005-5.jpg


No little one for us though, Todd had to get the bucket...oh the collection that I have of these little things!

Food006-4.jpg


The Coke helped to settle my tummy and we went to Adventureland...since I missed out on my fruit we got a little cup to share...it was not that great, the fruit was hard and not ripe.

By 11:30 the crowds were getting insane...people everywhere, strollers everywhere, smokers all over the place, kids running wild and bumping into us, ladies knocking me out with their huge bags......I could not take it anymore. I told DH that I needed to go back to the resort and rest..he said "Geez you must really be ill to want to take a break"

But of course my hubby is telling me to get something to eat...ugh. We went on the TTA 2 times because I could sit and rest and I felt much better...but of course this put us at the height of the lunch hour and Cosmic Rays was packed to the gills....that is where Todd wanted to eat and I really didnt care....he loves the cheese sauce for his fries.

He wanted a burger and fries..I thought I would get the chicken for some protein and I didnt want anything greasy.

As we were discussing this some guy with a tray of food came out of no where and said to me "Get outta my way lady" now remember I am not feeling that hot so I said to him "The correct way to ask me is EXCUSE ME!" Oh I was hot and bothered at this point. DH gets in the burger line, I head to the chicken line and there are 2 teens in front of me and they order and are paying and I figure I am next right? WRONG! Their parents and 2 more kids come up, cut right in front of me and proceed to order...oh heck no. I told them that I was next, they can get to the back of the line...they said they were with their girls...I said no you were not, I have been here for 10 minutes and you were no where to be seen....I was so mad at the CM because she saw the entire thing go down and did nothing. Then it took them freaking forever to decide what they want and then figure out the stupid dining credits....I think WDW needs lines for dining plan guests and cash only guests, would make life so much easier.

Ok my rant is over.

So I meet up with Todd and we find a seat among the masses and he is sad..."whats your problem?" He says there is no cheese sauce for his fries...boo hoo pal deal with it cuz I am not getting back in line for sauce. He said his burger was gross, the bun fell apart, the burger was hard and dry, the fries were good and he loved the mushrooms and pickles

Food013-4.jpg


I ate some of the string beans, they were good. The chicken was very moisty and flavorful..I had 3 bites and DH had the rest. The mashed potatoes were disgusting....they tasted so processed they had a tang to them...BLECH

Food012-4.jpg


DH says he is not interested in going back to CR until they change the menu to something better.

We left right after that but first I wanted to get my gingerbread men that DH ate...the candy store was a ghost town so we took our time looking around. They do not have the giant Oreo cookies there. DH got a giant dipped marshmallow with sprinkles, he ate it on the bus and said it was great. He also bought a rice krispie treat for later.

See you guys tonight!

I am happy to hear you are feeling better! Enjoy your evening at Il Mulino tonight!
Checking for updates tomorrow morning! (Hate that time difference! ;) )
 
I think I almost fainted when I saw that the fudge-o-the-month at the Main Street Confectionary was Reeses Pieces. Mmmmmmmmmmmmm, one more thing to look forward to in 2 weeks!! :hyper: :hyper:

Sorry to hear you didn't like your meal at Cosmic Ray's, usually people say that it's the greatest CS in the MK (although I like Columbia Harbour House)---I think we'll stick with CHH this trip.

Can't wait to hear your review on Il Mulino. We are trying to pick an Italian place to eat during our trip in December. Either Tutto or Il Mulino since we'll be staying at the BWV. Would like to hear thoughts on which you prefer. :goodvibes
 
Oh, the nerve of some people. I would've just given the CM my order, and told them to wait til I was done....LOL! I don't like being at the parks when it's uber crowded (ask Cait... ;):rolleyes: )

When's Main Street Bakery going to be completing their renovations??? anyone know? We're going to be there in 3 weeks...

We're going to "try" not to go to any food places until after 1:30 pm... cuz it's a madhouse from 12-1.... and like I said... I'm not a crowds person, I get irritable....LOL!

Well, right now, I'm not counting on CMC for one of our meals. We may do FF after all, and split a meal and get appies. I'll have to look at the menu again, and see.

Hope the dinner tonight is wonderful...looking forward to more pictures...
 
I sure hope you're able to enjoy dinner tonight! So sorry you had to deal with a migraine, they aren't easy to have when home much less on vacation.:hug:
 
Glad the nap helped and hope you stay feeling better :thumbsup2

Hope you have a nice dinner!

Can you believe I didnt buy a piece of that fudge! But then again I dont like fudge but love Reeses! I wish I had CHH today, I love that place! You know that we love Tutto right? Wait til you hear what we think of Il Mulino!

Wait. Main Street Bakery is closed? Didn't they know you were coming?

:lmao::rotfl::rotfl2:

I hope you do get to FF, you guys will love it...I forgot to ask how often they change menus but I think in 3 weeks it will be the same.

I sure hope you're able to enjoy dinner tonight! So sorry you had to deal with a migraine, they aren't easy to have when home much less on vacation.:hug:

Migraines are a common thing for me and I know better, no cured meats, rice, beans, red wine, cheese, chocolates etc...I screwed up yesterday but hopefully no more migraines!

Glad the nap helped and hope you stay feeling better :thumbsup2

Hope you have a nice dinner!

Thanks we did..reviews coming up!

Thanks for your kind words Joan, I appreciate it! I hope you have as great a time as we are!.....pace yourself for F&W!
 
Hi there you guys! We are back from dinner and let me just say this...if you follow my reviews you know we love Tutto Italia in Epcot....well that is second banana to Il Mulino! We had the most incredible time, the most attentive service and the most delish food ever! The atmosphere was very quiet and relaxing, nothing like Tutto. We were not rushed at all, again nothing like Tutto. Much cheaper than Tutto too.

We arrived right at 6:30 and were seated immediately to a large dining room to the left of the entrance....there were 4 other tables seated and the rest of the place was empty. We had 2 servers that treated us like King and Queen...their names are Michael and Tony. I am not going to post menu pics because the one that is listed on the Swan/Dolphin site is correct.

As soon as we were seated this little plate arrived...it is roasted eggplant in a very light balsamic with parmesan cheese and thin slices of a salami like item...both were out of this world and if you spread some eggplant on the bread...oh boy it was good! The bread was a nice dense, chewy Tuscan bread and there were thin crispy bread pieces that were very spicy...DH loved them! Butter available on request but olive oil is on the table.

Dinner001.jpg


Dinner002.jpg


We each had Pelligrino and I was not planning on having a drink tonight but Michael recommended a cocktail that DH just had to have...the Forza Acai...Michael had it served in 2 glasses so I can have some and let me tell you this, I am a lover of blueberries and this was knock it out of the park wonderful....not too sweet, just strong enough and we will go to the bar and relax with this drink!

Dinner003.jpg


Dinner004.jpg


Dinner005.jpg


DH was alot hungrier than I was but thats ok....I told him to order whatever he wanted. He started with the calamari, it was so lightly battered, very tender and there was some thin sliced fried zucchini there too! The marinara was spicy and wonderful. Michael served us some from the hot plate and then left the plate on the table. They do not put your dinner order in until you have finished your appetizer, they do not rush you at all and we really appreciated that.

Dinner008.jpg


Todd also had....wait for it... a caesar salad! It was huge and fresh, made to order, I had some and it was the best! Served on a huge dinner plate and it covered the entire thing.

Dinner009.jpg


Since he ordered so much as an appie he decided on a white pizza, it was 8 huge slices (I would say equivilent to a large pizza anywhere) and there was mozzarella, ricotta, garlic and oregano. The aroma coming from this was mouthwatering, I mean it had the greatest smell...I wish I could bottle it, put it behind my ears ha ha! Between the 2 of us we ate 5 pieces and took the rest back to the room.

Dinner010.jpg


I had the pasta cabonara...wow the serving was huge..didnt realize I could have ordered a 1/2 portion. The pasta was served a perfect al dente. The proscuitto was tender, the onions tender, the flavor was fantastic...DH never had anything like this before and he loved it..we took leftovers back to the room too and they gave us little to go plates and plasticware....

Dinner011.jpg


We were so stuffed, very happy and satisfied until Michael brought us the dessert menu. I didnt want a thing, DH had to get something. He ordered chocolate gelato, so rich and dark and creamy, 2 huge scoops and a ton of raspberries, blackberries, blueberries and strawberries underneath.....it was the best and now he wants to go to the gelato stand in Italy tomorrow and try another flavor!

Dinner012.jpg


Our parting gift from Il Mulino was a small glass of Lemoncello, vodka with fresh lemon juice and a simple syrup. They dish it out of a wooden barrel tableside and toast to your health. It was sooooo sweet my teeth ached after one sip! This was right up Todd's alley so he drank both glasses.

Dinner014.jpg


From now on, whenever we are jonesing for Italian Il Mulino is our spot!
 
Tomorrow we are planning on breakfast at the BWI bakery again...someone (guess who) is complaining that he has not had a cinnamon bun yet, like thats my fault or something and I want to eat light so we can snack the F&W booths again.

Hoping to get into some of the seminars tomorrow too...will update tomorrow when we come back to the room for a break. Dinner is supposed to be at Chefs de France but the guy that shall remain nameless is already thinking of changing it, to what I have no clue!

Night all!
