If I'm not mistaken, The Magic Kingdom was open for EMH on our last day in the parks. At any rate we arrived there very early. Since it was a while until our lunch reservation at the Plaza, we decided to have a mid-morning snack. My mom decided she wanted another turkey leg so we headed over to the
Lunching Pad.
I don't remember what I was doing, but I didn't actually go with her to get them. I sat down at a table and she came back with these beauties. Two of them?

They were huge; I knew there was no way I could finish it, but it was delicious anyway. They were the first ones of the day- fresh, hot, and scrumptious.
Much later on and still a long time before lunch, we wanted something small to snack on. We knew we would have dessert at The Plaza so neither of us wanted anything sweet. So, that left salty. I'd read about Figaro Fries so we went to
Pinocchio's Village Haus. Obviously, I didn't read these boards as well as I thought because the CM informed me they had stopped selling them over a year ago.

Oops. So, I just ordered regular fries and decided to call it a day. Not going to let a little cheese and bacon get me down.
There was a problem with either the machine or my KTTW card, but it wouldn't work. He called several people for assistance and after about ten minutes the card finally worked. Hooray!

The CM (I wish I could remember his name) apologized profusely, but it wasn't a big deal at all. He even had them replace my fries with fresh ones, which was a very nice gesture but a little unnecessary.
Call me weird, but I love to dip fries in honey mustard. I saw a packet of Parmesan cheese so I grabbed that and made pseudo Figaro Fries. They may have been nothing like the original, but they were just fine for me.
We finally made it to our lunch reservation later that afternoon. Neither of us had been to The Plaza before, but I had my heart set on the grilled chicken sandwich. I ordered that while my mother decided to have the Angus chuck cheeseburger.
With all the fixins of lettuce, tomato, onion, cheese, bacon, grilled onions, and mushrooms she was intent on loading up this burger as she had done at Pecos Bill's on our first day. She also ordered the broccoli slaw, but changed it to fries at the last minute.
This is mine. I know what you're thinking! No, that certainly isn't the grilled chicken sandwich. Like mother like daughter, I suppose, but I changed my mind after my mom ordered the burger. I hadn't had one the whole time at Disney World and it sounded delicious so I changed it. I'm so glad I did! Mine isn't quite as packed as hers, but it was delectable with just mayonnaise, crispy bacon, and Cheddar cheese. The burger itself was seasoned quite nicely and cooked perfectly. The chips were crispy and crunchy, just the way I like them.
Guess whose dessert this was! My mom's, of course! This is the Brownie Sundae- vanilla ice cream and whipped cream sandwiched between brownies and topped with hot fudge sauce and a cherry. The brownie was chewy, but it was good overall.
I had the banana split. This was hands down the biggest banana split I had ever seen in my life! What was there not to love? Chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry ice cream- good. Crushed pineapple, hot fudge, and strawberry sauce- good. Nuts, banana, and cherry- good. Whipped cream- goooooooood. We are planning an oop dinner here in September, but after seeing pictures of it I believe we're both in agreement to split this wonderful dessert. It's definitely not something I think I can take on by myself again!
