Correct me if I'm wrong, but I've never seen beets on a Mediterranean restaurant menu. Like, never in my life. Such an odd thing to throw on falafel.
Neither have I. I guess after thousands of years of serving some of the best food known to man, disney felt they could use an update
We've always enjoyed Tangerine Cafe especially the chicken shawarma. I made the mistake of ordering a drink there too once. Maybe the white sangria??? It was gross. Wasted alcohol calories!
Yeah we should have totally stuck to the regular menu and skipped the booze. Oh well, lesson learned.
That long piece of beet you are referring too looks a lot like the pickled turnips we get on our falafels here. I think that's what that might be. Your festival of the arts food is not looking too promising so far although Casey is doing quite well! I took your advice on Jiko and booked it for my arrival night at AKL. Curious question....have you ever eaten at Spice Road Table? I am thinking of it for my August trip. Looking forward to hearing how the rest of the day turned out!
Hmm, maybe the "beet" was the turnip and the "turnip" was the beet. Perhaps the color switch was the artsy part of the dish
So excited to hear you booked Jiko. Hope you love it as much as we do. It has never, ever disappointed us!
No, we've never done spice road. The menu intrigues me as we love tapas, but I've never read anything great about it. Seems to be ok, but nothing to write home about.
First of all loving the title
My dad texts my sister and I every year to wish us Happy Festivus.
Well may I be the first to wish you a happy early festivus this year!
Yeah none of those food options are looking very good. I guess I understand the need for another festival since F&W and F&G are so popular, but you'd think they would have the food up to par.
I got the impression this was thrown together rather haphazardly. I could be wrong, but even the "art" portion of the event was highly repetitive around world showcase.
I think Morocco's booths just need to be skipped for here on out!
Now you tell me
I'm glad Casey enjoyed her Slushie! She eats better than most adults with her palette! You've done well!
We try and we are very lucky that she's stuck it out this long. I keep waiting for her palate to change, but thankfully nothing yet
I love your selections of drinks (except Morocco) as all of those seem in line with what I like! Glad you didn't get lost on the Delaware
.
Sorry you struck out on the festival options - I had such good luck on my visit but I went in the other direction!
You totally went the right direction. But I take full ownership of my foul. I just assumed it was spread out like the other festivals were and didn't realize by skipping the center we essentially missed the essence of the entire event.
Hmm, I wasn't sure about the whole Festival of the Arts but I guess you can say it was more about the art than the food? All the food seemed to look pretty though! Cute pics with the characters! I love Casey's sushi t-shirt! It's super cute! And yay for no line for Jasmine! I always fine her and Aladdin's line so long.
Yeah, the festivus was definitely more about the arts than the food. Though even the art part wasn't that prevalent, but we didn't seek it out either.
I was shocked to see no line for Jasmine. Jason had just wandered over there while Casey was doing the kidcot station and realized it was empty. Bonus for us!
The falafel looks a little strange with the beets and tomato salsa, doesn't seem like something I'd associate with it. The sushi looks pretty good, but that pork from America looks a bit blah and I guess it tasted blah too. That's cute that you can pose with that artwork! Was that a festival-only photo op?
That palette cookie looks really cute! I can see how kids would have fun with it!
Yeah strange is a good word for the falafel. I'm guessing they were trying to make it prettier for the arts festival, but they just made it strange instead.
They had quite a few "famous" pictures around the world showcase you could have your picture taken in for the festival. They were pretty busy on the weekend, but during the week when the festival wasn't actually going on it was easier to get in them. I have some pretty classic photos of my brother and Casey coming up in a few more days.
Casey looks like she is getting so tall!
She is crazy tall, just about taller than all the boys and girls in her class. Of course I remind everyone that I was once a tall skinny kid myself and you see how that turned out
Ha, funny you say that, when we were at the bar at Sanaa, I noticed that the Beso del Sol that they seem to sell everywhere actually does come out of a box
I knew it!!!!!!!
I always see these, and I have been wanting to try the Cucumber one! Sounds like they were both decent. Justin will never move away from the Sunset Tokyo, so I'll have to get the cucumber one myself sometime.
I thought they were both pretty good. Slightly on the sweet side for my taste, but I'd definitely get the cucumber one again
So I totally thought that the stuff on the right was pork and the stuff on the left next to the carrot & potato was bread
Poor Melissa and her produce, sounds like it was crappy!
I think me and Melissa would have been much better off had it been bread
your family is adorable as ever, your brother fits right in! Yummy food ,even better booze. Entertaining as always. This festival is not looking too festive. Hopefully the food and drinks part get better for your sake.
