Pre-Trip Live food report!

I suggest you swing by the Poly on one of your MK days & try the Backscratcher at the bar outside Ohana. It's killer and a must have on every trip. Different rums & fruit juices with a Jack Daniels topper, it's one of the strongest drinks I've had at WDW & it will cure what ails you plus it comes with a free backscratcher.

Backscratcher - YUM!!!!!!!!!!

Pina Colava!!

I need to dig for more yummy drink pix for you! But I can definitely recommend those two!

Welcome...I am so ready for yours as well!

So I am thinking 2 things here...the new Paradisio 37 should be open by the time we get there, and I am a major sucker for latin food, so maybe we should be going there instead of WPC. I don't know...it is an idea. Since I haven't seen a menu or anything yet, and I have no idea if they are even taking reservations. Does anyone know anything at all about this place other than what type of place it is? I really want to try it out, but don't know anything about it yet. At least with Sanaa we knew a lot of things about it before it opened.

So here are some of the suggestions from you guys that I definitely going to try.

Biergarten – I have seen pics of this amazing pork loin roast…along with multiple sausages. Any one stand out over the others? You cannot go wrong with the schnitzel...man it is incredible!

Wolfgang Puck Café – Sushi, sushi, and more sushi. Since I have two non-sushi eaters with me, I will be able to taste some other things, but I am taking Brenda’s advice and eating sushi. I am afraid of sushi...do they have any with cooked shrimp/crab in it? I may try it at Cali grill

Sci-Fi – If I get a burger…I am sharing it. And actually…this will be my first burger ever at WDW, believe it or not. I have to really crave burgers in order to get one. But I am taking one for the team since I have to go. Any appys that are actually good here? The onion rings are killer...the burger was good but the reuben was better

Tony's Town Square – That pasta MickeyNicki got on her last trip looked so good, I don’t think I want to try anything else. But I am going to leave it as is…unlike Nicki…I am not as picky as she is. What?? Me Picky? Picky Nicki?

Yak and Yeti – The ribs and the green beans. I have seen tons of reviews and I am severely torn as to what else to try, if anything. I may make J try the Shaoxing steak and shrimp so I can have a bite. OMIGOD you cannot go wrong with the ribs or the steak and shrimp, both entrees were incredible.

Turf Club – I have tried the onion rings, the tomato bisque and goat cheese, the prime rib, and the blue cheese covered strip. Does anyone recommend anything else on the menu here? I am debating on the crab cake and the crab covered strip…but since I have never had either there, I don’t know what to expect. Both sound great to me!

The Plaza – J is definitely getting the club as it is one of her fave sandwiches. I will get part of it, so all is well. Has anyone had the reuben there? How is it? And also…are the chips better than the fries?I have not ordered the reuben there but have read very good reviews about it!

ALCOHOL!!!! If you see me, and I am stumbling over…just point and laugh because it will be my own fault, and know I am doing my best to try as much alcohol as my body can take. Let us know of all teh wonderful drink you imbibe on so I can match you drink for drink

Biergarten – debating on one of the beer flights…since it is Germany and all...
Wolfgang Puck Café – Wildberry lemonade? Brenda, does this have alcohol in it? If not…then I need an alcoholic beverage to try out. DH loves the beer here and he is picky about his brew

Sci-Fi – The Martian milkshake…since I dig Bailey’s and how can you go wrong mixing that with 2 kinds of ice cream? I wanted to try that but DH opted for the one with banana and coconut liquer...soooo good!

Tony’s – No alcohol, the rat *******s… Go to the Tambu Lounge and get your drink on! That is what I did in March and plan on doing it again in 3 weeks!


Various drinks to try in Epcot – the Grey Goose slushie, the Welsh Dragon, one of the sakis (where do I get that from? The Yakitori House?), anything else worth trying since I will be spending most of my day there? You have got to try the Peach Snap from the Joy of Tea stand in China, it is peach oolong ice tea and peach schnapps that is frozen like a slushie...man it is soooo good

Dont you wish you could just fast forward through the days and make the trip get here now!?!

Oh my god yes...I am so ready for a break, albeit a small one. I need my reality escape. I need to eat things I don't normally eat. I need to drink until I either get kicked out or fall over...well...not really, but I will definitely be trying to do that.

Sushi...I was always the I would never eat anything raw type person...yucky...and then I had a California Roll and a Spider Roll. Yummy and it is all cooked. The CA Roll has cooked crab meat, cucumber, carrots, and sometimes mayo or cream cheese. I think I have seen it on the menu and you can get that anywhere honestly. You should definitely try it. The spider roll is soft shell crab fried and put in rice and wrapped up...one of my favorites. Doesn't your hubby eat sushi? If so, and you have a Kona Grill in your city, go there. I take J there whenever I need a sushi fix and I get all I want and she gets the burger. It is a win-win.

DH is not a fish guy, he will eat shellfish but that is about it. I think I am going to look into trying some cooked fish sushi rolls ... they two you described sound wonderful!

 

[skellingtonfreak]

You really ought to...if I can get J to at least try it, you definitely should. She found out she likes crawfish at the food and wine festival last year because the one rule was, if I got it, she had to at least taste it. hehehehe...her face on some things I got was so funny! I am bummed we are not going this year, but she finally conceded that we get to go every year from now on. Yay for me!

And if you like smoked salmon, I would try the philadelphia roll too. It is like bagel and lox all rolled up in a little rice package.

MickeyNicki, on your next Disney Food adventure, try the sushi at California Grill. Like you I had never eaten sushi, the RAW part was a turn off. In Feb, I ate at California Grill and decided to take a chance and ordered the tempura roll. OMG, where has this been my whole life. I ate every piece on the plate. It was so good, that I already have ADRs for August for the California Grill and will try to get my niece and 2 nephews to try it.
