The Picky Eater & The Glutton Attempt to Conquer DxDDP...Tusker House Breakfast 12/30

[disneygirlinnj]

Thank you so much! It was very special for me to have the time with him. We are trying to branch out in the fish & seafood department. Have been trying some new things but just haven't liked anything yet. But at least we are trying!

I've found I can eat yellowtail sushi. But I drown it in wasabi and soy sauce so I think it kills the taste

I thought I had posted on here, but I guess I am mistaken . Well, I'm here now. I feel your pain with the picky eater, I too am the one who will try anything at least once. Boy, our trip is going to be different now that Dale will most likely be on a special diet .

Hopefully it wont be too different! I'm sure Disney can make certain things 'healthier' for him!

We will be down at beginning of your trip. It looks like you have some good restuarants picked out. I wonder about Kouzzina-I can't wait to read your review. I would like to try it next year with my hubby.

Thank you! I've been really looking forward to Kouzzina. Not only is my mom a picky eater but she's even pickier about her Greek food since she was raised there. Hopefully it doesn't disappoint!

I'm doing the same thing! I'm very happy with what I have right now, but I keep on thinking it could be better, and trying to figure out if I should change something or not.

 

[NuttyDisneyMom]

Bring it on

I can just taste the school bread now yummmmmmmmmmm.

Didn't realize you'd be doing a dining review also. Can't wait to hear what you have to say about some of the places. I still have 3 months to tweak my ADRs so if anything is that great I may just have to change some.

I sort of agree with you though---I can't see (right now) how I could make mine any better than they are already. For us, pretty perfect.

Can't wait to hear more---not too much longer now!

Ok I switched my Kouzzina dinner a LITTLE earlier.. I think I'm officially done changing things around...maybe.

Bring it on

Welcome!!

I think I'm sadly the only one that doesn't really want to try school bread? I know...I must be crazy. With all those snack credits though I might have to test it out this trip!

Hey! If you're following the official trip report, it might be exactly the same. I'll be including the reviews in the normal report too. Depending on how I feel I might go into a little more detail here or just copy and paste word for word. I just know that there's a TON of people on here that just love the dining reviews and don't really care about the trip reports so I wanted to share with them.

Almost down to TWELVE DAYS!!!!!

When did this start?

Maybe I'll break out my dining, but I think I'll do it when I'm finished my regular report (which at this rate might be sometime in 2010).

Haha, I think I started it when I was reallly bored at work one day

 

[disneygirlinnj]

Alright everyone...we leave tomorrow morning!!

I'll be tweeting my way around the World if anyone wants to follow along..

Hope to come back with a million photos of food yumminess...and I'll try to not gain 40 lbs

 

[disneygirlinnj]

We're back! And OMG seriously rediculous amounts of food!!! Even on Day 2 I was dreading eating my next meal! We smartened up a bit after that though and swapped a few plans out (but not many!) and ended up completely satisified.

I have to get all of my receipts together and organized so I know exactly what we ate, etc. Then I have to go through all my photos. I hope to start in a few days!

There were definitely some amazing meals (Citricos! fabulous!) And then others that were slighly disappointing. But I can honestly say we didn't have a complete horrible meal ever. Only one seriously crappy waitress which put a damper on one meal but all other CM's were great and amazing.

 

[TigerKat]

Can't wait to hear about Citricos!!!!

 

[GoofySon'sMom]

Can't wait to hear about Citricos!!!!

Ditto! It is one of the meals I am most looking forward to on our next trip!

 

[annnewjerz]

Woohoo!

Can't wait to hear all about the gluttony and also what changes you made in order to make the DxDDP a little more easy to stomach (no pun intended ). We finally added it to our December reservations, so now I officially need to start paying attention to all of these awesome dining reviews.

I'm still dreaming about it...and it's where I found my favorite wine of all time. I've been trying to find it up here it was so good.

Woohoo!

Haha! OK, got all my receipts together so hopefully in the next few days! I will say, if you do Deluxe, try to schedule as many 2TS meals as you can. 3 TS meals was way too much for us on some days. We weren't able to make use of all those snack credits because we were so full and I was sad about it because all I realllly wanted to do was eat around the World for Food and Wine!

 

[disneygirlinnj]

Ok everyone! Let the fun begin!!!

This first review is going to be short and sweet because all we did was have a quick snack. I'll try to include all prices, what we actually paid, and what was included on the DxDDP.

We arrived at the resort pretty early since our flight was on time and DME was sprinkling pixie dust and had us on our way in less than 15 mins of getting off the plane. We picked up our information but our room wasn't ready so we went to go grab a quick bite while we waited.

At 11:11am (according to our receipt), Mom and I were pretty hungry but didn't want to have a full meal so we headed over to Sassagoula Food Court (which the WHOLE trip I totally called Sassalouga until I sat and read the sign on the last day...oops!). Decided to just share a cheese pizza and pick up our mugs so we have drinks.

We were given a buzzer and then went to fill our mugs while we waited. Picked up the pizza at the pizza window when it was ready and dug in!

The pizza was typical Disney pizza, but we enjoyed it. Mom really liked the pizza around the World....she hates when the cheese is realllly stringy and doesn't break. Disney cheese apparently is exactly what she's looking for. Score! I think I'm just a snobby NY/NJer and wish all pizza could be thin crust NY pizza. I'm just not usually a huge fan of the Domino's style pizza but I will eat it if I'm in the mood. I will say that this pizza was a very good Domino's style pizza. The sauce had flavor, wasn't bland, and actually had some seasonings in it. The crust was crispy yet chewy, and the cheese....like mom said....wasn't too stringy and broke off right as you bit into it, even when it was still really hot.

Oh...and apparently there is no way to actually cut this pizza with the plastic forks and knives they provide. We mutilated one slice while we attempted (mom likes to cut her pizza) but finally gave up after awhile. If anyone knows the trick on how to cut this pizza, let us know!




2 Refillable Mugs:
If OOP: $12.99 each, $27.67 total after tax
With DDP: FREE!

Personal Cheese Pizza:
Paid OOP: $6.38

 

[scoot241]

Mugs are included with DxDDP? That's cool.

We had a very similar lunch our first day: Everything Pop's food court. We're not pizza cutting people though, so we didn't have that problem.

Here I thought there were only two types of people in the world, those who fold their pizza when they eat it and those who don't. Apparently another category needs to be added for those who cut their pizza. Who knew such a group of people even existed?

great start to your report
