Sisterhood of the Traveling Sausage! Update 10/12 Final Meal!

Loving your review! I just really wanted to say how much I LOVE the term "hangry." Pure Awesome! I know I will totally be thinking it on this upcoming trip when I am hiking across the park for a favorite or something I'm dying to try!

I love "hangry" too! I'm surprised at how many other people get hangry around here! I'll bet if we looked closely we'd find hangry people all over the parks! :lmao: If only other people knew, they'd steer cleer of us!
 
After our KTTK tour we did a few more attractions and the sausage got to visit It's a Small World

Sorry, it was pretty dark in there but I thought it was funny anyway. I'm a horrible photographer!

Then we went back to our room for a little while because it started to rain. Our reservation at 'Ohana was for 6:25 and we left WL around 5 pm. It took mere minutes to get to Magic Kingdom where we would take the monorail to the Polynesian. It was still raining when we got to MK and as we were walking to the monorail, we saw a CM at the entrance turning people away. The monorail was broken down and he wasn't sure when it would be back up. So we decided to get in line for the boat. It seemed like there were thousands of people standing in the rain waiting for the boat. And then this teeny tiny boat pulls up and about 15 people get on. We'd moved up about an inch in 1/2 hour. We waited forever and then we heard someone say that the monorail was running again so we made a mad dash to get a seat, pushing small children down on our way. Just kidding, we would never do that! :littleangel: That was about 6:15 pm and our ADR was at 6:25. There was a "traffic jam" :confused3 about three times just going to the Poly and we got there around 6:50!! :scared1: I hate the monorail.

We went right to the podium and told our sob story to the host and she didn't seem to even look up at us. She just handed us a pager. There were no available chairs so we stood around and waited for no more than 10 minutes and our pager went off! We were shown to a table way in the back which was perfect because we were without our kids and it didn't matter if we were near all of the hoopla. As a matter of fact, we didn't see any of it even though we could hear it! On our way, our host picked up a loaf of pineapple coconut bread.

It was yummy but I could have used some butter because everything is better with butter!

Our server was "Cousin Simo" and he was very happy and friendly. He took our drink orders and was back with them very quickly. My sister had an iced tea which wasn't worth taking a photo of but this was!!

This lovely lady was an Island Sunset - 7 Tiki rum, Parrot Bay Coconut Rum, melon liqueur & peach schnapps w/guava passion fruit juice. I was so happy to meet her just then!:banana: She hit the spot!

Then Simo's assistant Jose brought out the salad.

I fell in love with the honey-lime dressing on the salad. It was coated just perfectly, just enough but not dripping in it. The dressing was a little sweet but just right!

We just had time to eat some salad and Simo dropped off the wings and potstickers!

Loved, loved, loved both of these!! :lovestruc They were hot and fresh and the potstickers (or pork dumplings) had a bit of a sweet glaze on them which worked well. The wings were excellent as well. The sauce on the wings was like none I'd ever tasted and I could have made an entire meal just out of the items that I had so far! But I knew there was more to come so I had to control myself.

Next Jose dropped off a bowl of broccoli.

It was nicely done, not mushy, not crunchy and it had a nice seasoning on it so it wasn't blah.

I told my sister that I thought we got some noodles as well but the noodles never came. Soon Simo started to bring out the skewers of meat. Have any of you seen the movie Bridesmaids? I'm sorry, but when I saw Simo coming with the steak skewers I just couldn't help but think of THAT scene. :scared1:If you've seen it, you know what I'm talking about. Sorry! Anyway, I had the steak first and that was it for me - it was amazing steak and I didn't care if I tried any of the other meats. I tried them all and they were ok (the pork was seasoned with something that I didn't care for but that's just me). But the steak...give me more steak!! It was just a little pink in the middle, the way I like it.

I'm sorry, this is the most pathetic photo of a steak ever! It doesn't do it justice at all.

Also, right after the steak we got the noodles as well! The noodles were really good too. Apparently I didn't get a photo of these.

Just when I thought that life couldn't get any better. Simo plopped this down on our table.

This was hands down the best dessert I had at Disney! :worship: It pushed down the bread pudding from Raglan Road and kicked sand in it's face. It was soft and amazing and hot and caramelly and ice creamy and aaagggggghhhhh!!!! I want some now!! I'd already eaten an obscene amount of food but there was nothing that could stop me from diving into this.

This meal totally gets 3 sausages and an Aaron Rodgers!

I have to say that I may have even liked this meal more than Le Cellier! I only feel bad that I couldn't eat more. Also, it was a lot of food for two people and quite a bit was wasted. But I did the best I could!

Up next, Wizarding World of Harry Potter's Three Broomsticks.
 
Thanks for the Ohana review. We will be there in less than 3 weeks and I can't wait for that bread pudding!
 
So excited for our 1st meal @ Ohana!! I finally got a ressie & I'm really looking forward to trying it!! :banana:
 

Thanks for the O'hana review, we are trying it for the fist time in October :goodvibes

I really hope we get noodles as we are particularly looking forward to trying them

I am jealous that you'll be having the bread pudding! I think that I must try to find this recipe online somewhere! Enjoy your trip!

Woo hoo!! Glad to hear you got a ressie :banana: I hope you love it as much as I did!

For some reason we got our noodles a little late. I do wish we'd gotten them sooner before I'd eaten too much. It is so much food but so good! Have fun in October - can't wait to hear about it!
 
Yeah another good review of O'hana. That bread pudding is amazing. I still have to wait 3 weeks though. Glad the sausage got to enjoy some rides too. Did it have
"it's a small world" stuck in it's head the rest of the day?;)
 
Great review so far! Can't wait for the rest. I'm going to have to go to Ohana's sometime for the pudding.

Yes, the sausage still sings it's a small world all the time! Lol!:lmao:
 
Yes, I know this is a Disney Dining review but this was part of our trip so I'm going to include a meal from the dark side! ;) We took a private shuttle from WL to Universal Islands of Adventure because my sister and I are huge HP fans and we wanted to see the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. We got there right before the gates opened, walked in and had to walk towards the back of the park to find this:


Actually this photo was taken later and there were a lot less people early in the morning. It must have been a slower week because we walked in and walked on to every ride we wanted to. I was actually a little bummed out that the line moved so fast through Hogwarts into the Forbidden Journey ride because there were so many incredible things to look at while waiting in line. But we didn't get to see much. The Forbidden Journey is like no ride I've ever done the effects and the movement (the whole experience) was crazy good. Unfortunately I get some motion sickness and because that was kind of extreme, I walked off of there with an upset stomach. To help calm my stomach we decided to try some frozen butterbeer!

We didn't try the regular butterbeer but if it tasted anything like the frozen butterbeer, it will be good! This was like a cream soda, butterscotchy slush with some creamy goodness added to the top. I highly recommend this! It also helped me feel a bit better.

And seeing Hogwarts was like a dream come true for me!

We went on a few more rides and decided that it was time to eat at the restaurant, Three Broomsticks.

Again, I did not bring my regular camera so I had to use my phone. The setup inside Three Broomsticks is great. You're directed to a certain numbered cashier who takes your order and directs you to the same numbered pickup area. So we went to cashier #7 and we then went to pickup area #7 to get our food.

My sister ordered the pasties which are little meat pies and it came with a salad. I think she ordered ranch dressing with the salad and an iced tea.


And I had the Shepherd's Pie, which also came with a salad and ranch, and an iced tea.

Unfortunately my sister and I both have an aversion to the spice rosemary. We hate it. And the meat in the pasties had a strong rosemary taste...and they use the exact same meat in the shepherd's pie. :mad: We were so bummed out because we were hungry and we were so excited about eating here. We shared the potatoes off the top of my pie and the crust from her pasties (because the crust was wonderful and flaky) and we ate our salads. We did not get dessert with our meals.

I'm giving this meal a 2 sausage rating.

I do love that this is a quick service restaurant but it has some offerings that are different from your standard burgers and chicken nuggets (though it does have things like chicken fingers, fish & chips, mac & cheese, etc) and that a lot of the meals come with salads. A salad feels so good on a hot day! I just wish that one of us would have ordered the chicken meal or something so we would have been able to eat something substantial.

It was great fun and I'm so glad that we went there! I'm going back to spend one day a WWoHP in January when my DD12 and I go on our Disney cruise but next time we'll order something different! I will definitely be coming back to Three Broomsticks and we'll try the pumpkin juice too! :thumbsup2
 
IMO, IoA CS is somewhat disappointing. It fills the hole but that's about it. I guess I'm slightly spoiled by WDW CS options. :lmao: I still complain about CS food at WDW but IoA is far behind.

We only went to IoA to see Harry Potter. We didn't spend any time in any other portion of the park. Yes, I know, you're thinking "Tracy you are a complete geek". I think I would have loved the food at Three Broomsticks if we both hadn't ordered dishes that had rosemary in them! The crust on the pasties were lovely and I saw a turkey leg that looked pretty good! So I can't speak for any of the other CS locations in IoA as we didn't try anything else. This is probably bad but we've only ever done the dining plan at WDW and I never look at prices of CS meals! So I don't know if things were more expensive at Three Broomsticks than your average CS place at WDW! :rotfl: Is that sad?
 
I am totally loving your reviews. And seven pages later, I'm still giggling out loud just the tiniest bit every time I think of your traveling sausage. Hee hee hee....
 
few years since we've been to Ohanas for dinner but still looks good. Thanks for the feedback on wwohp - DD is going to love looking at them ;)

I'm so glad that you understand my humor! :lmao: I just like to be silly! I think the sausage may make one more appearance before the end of the review!

If your DD is a Harry Potter fan, she will love it! There are so many fun things to look at. I bought my DD a pink pygmy puff at Zonkos and she loves it! Totally a girly thing. She even sleeps with it every night!
 
Harry Potter World is amazing. However it's the food that is bad from all the reviews including yours. I do like the butterbeer, but only one it's good but soooo rich. I bet it would be really good with a shot of bacardi :cool1:
 
Next time you're in IoA, go to Mythos! It's so amazing... I had their 'risotto of the day' which was steak medallions, asparagus, cherry tomatoes and crispy onions and it was only 15 bucks!

Just a tip from one Harry Potter nerd to another? :D

I'm sure that my daughter will want to go to Three Broomsticks again when we're there in January so I don't think I can avoid it. But this time I'm ordering chicken nuggets or something that I don't expect to be great! ;)

Thank you for the tip! I've never researched any food in IoA before. We're going to be there all day long in January so we can do one meal at Three Broomsticks and another at Mythos! It's really nice to get advice from people here on the DIS that know their stuff. The risotto sounds great! :thumbsup2
 
I realized the day before I flew out that I had NO CLUE about food at Universal (yet I had researched Disney absolutley INSIDE OTU) so I opened up like 30 bucks and started researching Citywalk and stuff inside the park. Mythos caught my eye because it's actually won some awards before... Definitely glad I went there! They had this delicious sounding banana chocolate (favorite flavor combo ever) cake dessert but I was too stuffed from my meal to try it! Next time though!

Enjoy your next trip!
