Via Napoli was up next , but my phone was being funky and my kids took the pics , so I am waiting to get them all before reviewing that supper .

The next morning my son and I went to MK , we got hungry for a breakfast snack or two



this was really good and fresh



and our traditional corn dog , we love our Disney corn dogs !

We got caught in the rain , but that did not stop me from getting another sunshine swirl , all to myself this time

Tonight we headed over to the Fort Wilderness Campground to have dinner at the Trail's End buffet , it is a good thing we were early because if you drive over , you need to take a bus to Pioneer Hall , you cannot drive there . If you are at MK , you can take the resort boat launch though.

my first plate was salads , I had corn bread salad , tomato balsamic salad, cucumber salad and ceasar . My favorites were the cornbread salad and the tomato balsamic



next up was the mains , I had the bean and tomato pasta , this was really good , the mac & cheese , pretty standard , I did not eat more than a bite of that , fried chicken , this was good but a bit dry , mash & gravy , delish , ribs , i found these to be very greasy , glazed carrots and the star of the show , corn bread crusted salmon

Then , although I was full , I wanted to try the baked potato bar , I was pretty disappointed because the potato's were stone cold , cooked through , but cold , i tried it with sour cream & chives , as well as cheddar/bacon , i also tried a bit of the corn bread , I found it disappointing and dry , and much better used in the different dishes i tried



next up was a desert plate , a sugar cookie ( too pasty for my taste) , A chocolate cake which was just ok and not worth more than a bite , a pecan square this was sooo good and a slice of red velvet , typical yummy moist and cream cheesy



this next thing doesn't look like much , but had i known it was gonna be this good , i would thave not eaten anything but this , i would have walked straight up to the buffet , grabbed the whole tray of it and go straight to my table to hog it all , banana pudding ,

We started the day by walking over to Epcot and heading to Soaring for our fast pass , we stopped for breakfast at Sunshine Seasons , we had a breakfast platter , we did not find this too spectacular , and a berry croissant pudding , I loved that bread pudding , so good and what a great deal !



Then we rode Soaring , The land ,mission space and tried out the soda at Club Cool , my son received a bit of pixie dust over there and was given a Coke Slush , then my kids ditched me , which means i got to stroll around the WS on my own

First stop , Joy of Tea stand , green tea plum wine slush , what I found weird was she warned me when I ordered this that it is a sour drink , I prefer drinks that are not too sweet , but it was sweet and not at all sour , but really delicious , cold & hit the spot !

stopped at Karamel Kuche to pick up some treats , I picked up Caramel apples for the kids , A german chocolate chip cookie , a salted caramel which did not have enough salt for my tastes , and caramel CRACK corn , hands down the best caramel corn on the planet !




and then a stop at Artisans de Glace for a white chocolate coconut and salted caramel cone , this was heavenly

Great report. Glad you had a little "me" time around WS.

So, what is your verdict on Trails End? Is it worth the transportation hassle to go there?

 

[DaisyNY]

Never tried Artisians de Glace but will make a stop there on our next trip...my daughter would love it! Me too!

We love Boma also for breakfast! I can really over eat there. Your ice cream looks and sounds delicious. I haven't tried this place yet but it's on my list for our November trip. Thanks for sharing your reviews!!!!!

Great reviews! The ice cream looks so good! Your pics of Trail's End make me want to go back. It's been a long time since we've been there. Thanks for sharing!

here are some of the lost Via Napoli pics, seems the pic of the calamari will not be found , it was good though , we finished it off very quickly , also missing is my daughter's pasta , she had a chicken alfredo tpe pasta , it was really good , the pasta was cooked perfectly in a delicious creamy sauce with some pieces of grilled chicken , i would definitely get this , my son had the white pizza and I had a margherita , the pizza's were good , but i had a pizza that i will show later in the review that topped this one

we headed over to France for desert , my son had a chocolate eclair which he inhaled , i had the chocolate tart which was really delectable and better than i thought filled with creamy chocolate & caramel mousse , my daughter chose the raspberry macaroon which had lemon filling that she said was too sour , so I ended up eating this too , OMG , it was perfect , fresh , tart amazingness

I did not love it , once was enough , sadly I expected more but the food was mehhh , dry chicken , greasy ribs and cold potatoes , unless you want to have a tray of banana pudding ,then it is worth it !

The next day was our last full day , and it was hot all i woke up and did some laundry to get ready to pack and move over to RPH , then all i wanted to do was have a burger and float around SAB , and that is exactly what i did , we ordered some burgers and chicken nuggets at Hurricane Hanna's and swam ( I did forget to take pics of that , but pretty standard stuff) After we digested , we had a snack at Beaches & Cream to go window ,

the brownie sunday


the no way jose


and an orange fanta float


all decadent as you can imagine

Later we headed over to DHS rode our fastpasses for TOT and RRC , shared a pretzel and frozen lemonade and decided to head over to Epcot for the fireworks , we made it just in time , after the fireworks we were hungry and there were MH at Epcot , so we had some fish & chips in England, this hit the spot , crunchy , hot an fresh , I love the thick cut chips there as well




and we couldn't not try at least one cupcake on our trip , so we headed to the marketplace for a midnight snack

 

[stitchaholic]

We headed to DTD , went to Starbucks where I got a Brazil reserve ice coffee and some beans to go , the kids got some Fraps , it was so hot & sunny ! We made our way to the marketplace for some Earl of Sandwich ,had to be done before we left

I had the BBQ chicken wrap with avocado , this was ahhhhhhmazing , i wish we had an earl's here , i would have this over & over again , DD had a turkey & DS a ham , we also shared some chips and mac & cheese , the mac&cheese here has to be the best on property , realy gooey cheesy goodness baked with crunchy breadcrumbs

 

[stitchaholic]

we were really , really full , but there was one more thing on my must have list that required a stop at Ghiradelli's , my DD & I shared a salted caramel sunday , it was so good , DD had a milkshake , simple but he loved it
