11/20- Pepper Market At Coronado Springs - We had breakfast here. I went right for the Mickey waffles. These were delicious. Perfectly warm and crispy on the outside and just the right amount of soft in the middle. They were served with strawberry compote on the side. I also chose sausage links over bacon. My son had a bacon, egg and cheese sandwich. This looked very good. He said it was okay. It came with potatoes on the side and that was just the okay part. My husband and other son had biscuits and gravy, which they chose bacon as well. This also came with potatoes. They said it was pretty good, but I think they were jealous of my waffles.

Be Our Guest dinner- We have had this meal before and enjoyed it this time as well. It was right before the Christmas party. I had the Sustainable fish, which was Black Grouper. It was quite good, but the ribbons of zucchini and carrots that came with it was super salty. My son had the steak and French fries and was able to eat most of it. My husband and other son had the lamb. They liked it. I tried it, and the polenta that came with it was just delicious. I had the Strawberry Cream cheese cupcake and they all had the eggnog custard cupcake that is only served on Christmas Party nights. All were good, though mine as heavier I the frosting than I remember, and it was almost too sweet for me.

Wishes Dessert Party- We actually did this twice on our trip. Both times were very good. I really enjoyed having a seat and staying out of the crowds. I liked the mini cannoli and the POG juice served now. The cheese and crackers are a nice touch and help cut the sweet. The Oreo Mickey Bon bons were a hit with my kids. I thought they had good flavor, but they were a little soggy. The chocolate covered strawberries were good, but not as much as the last time we were here.

Tusker House breakfast- Good selection as usual. The mealie pap was so good! I like the tater tots and fresh fruit. I had a variety of things, but these were amazing. The characters were a bit rushed this time. As much as we liked it, we will pass it up next time for something new. We will return at some point I am sure.

Cape May Clambake at the Beach Club- This has always been a family favorite and the food was quite good. There was only one problem when a batch of crab legs I had gotten were still frozen in the middle! I alerted the server right away and within seconds five chefs came rushing out to remedy the situation. Everything else we had was very good. The salmon was the standout dish that evening. I was too full for dessert but everyone else in my family got some and they liked everything they had, which between the three of them was every choice I the buffet.

Garden Grill breakfast- This became the new family favorite! The sticky bun bake was so much better than I could have expected, the fresh fruit was wonderful. The ham and bacon were very good, the Mickey waffles were amazing, the tater tots were a favorite again. The biscuits and gravy were very good. I liked this more than my husband, only because I think I took more than my share of the gravy, ha! I didn't try the scrambled eggs, but my family ate them up. The POG juice was wonderful. The characters were very good and we had a great time interacting with them. Our server, Kim was extremely good! We complimented her to the manager. She was engaging and right on top of everything. I don't drink coffee but my husband said it was the best of the trip.

Raglan Road dinner- Very good! I had Kevin's Heavenly ham, which the cider reduction and parsley cream sauce that comes with it just makes that dish. Yum! My husband had the Braised be Beef with onion rings instead of carrots. He loved it! One of my sons had the fish and chips and ate every bite declaring it delicious. The other son had the It's Not Bleedin' Chowder and I was able to try it too. He declared it the best meal of the trip. It was very good. It had salmon unit, and apparently it was amazing. I was allowed a bit of it only. One of my sons had the Dubrody Kiss and loved it, though rich. The rest of us had Ger's Bread and Butter pudding, which lived up to its reputation. So incredibly good! I couldn't eat it all, but my son was determined to eat every bit and he did!

Goofy's Candy Co- we got a variety of snacks here. The chocolate covered pineapple spear was very good. I also had a chocolate chunk peanut butter cookie and it was good, though a bit dry. I didn't eat it that night however. Other got marshmallow Olafs, cookies, and fudge. All were enjoyed on a different day and they held up well.

Sci Fi lunch- It was decent. The atmosphere was cool. I had the Salmon BLT, which was okay, though a little bland. My boys had the Reuben and liked it. My husband had the ribs. They weren't very tender and a big bland. I had the turtle cheesecake, and so did my son. It was okay. My husband had the candy bar and liked it but stated it was rich.

Liberty Tree Tavern lunch- This was served as the full dinner since if was Thanksgiving day. It was very good. My husband had been wanting to try this anyway. The game was really good, and we enjoyed the pot roast. I am not a big turkey fan, but it was good. The mashed potatoes were perfect, the macaroni and cheese was decent. My son loved it. The green beans were really good. There was a cranberry apple tart for dessert that was good. It was nice that it wasn't overly sweet.

Pepper Market dinner- This was a Thanksgiving Feast that evening. It had turkey, ham and all the fixings. It wasn't bad for a quick service place. Pumpin and apple pie was served for dessert.

Karmel Kuche- the caramel shortbread bars remain my favorite. The caramel corn is delicious. The marshmallow swirl candy was good, and so creamy.

Via Napoli Candlight Processional package. I had the aranchini, which was very good. My husband and son split the frito Misto. They said the calamari was very good and they also liked the aranchini. My other son had the tortellini soup and said it was very good. I had the pizza with game and artichoke hearts without the eggplant. To me this was amazing. My husband had the Quattro formaggio, and said it was okay, a little bland. My son had the pepperoni pizza and loved it! My other son had the mushroom pizza and said it was very good. My husband and I had the pistachio gelato for dessert. It was very good. My son had the ugly but good sundae and loved it. My other son had the zeppole and I didn't dare risk a bit. He ate every bit. Service here was just okay. She was nice, but very slow. Our meal took over two hours, and we didn't have that anywhere else. We just chalked it up to being the Italian culture.

Other snacks from the trip: carrot cake cookie which was good as always, caramel apples outstanding as always, chocolate covered s'more was really good. The cronut was incredible and it became a new favorite.
