[HeadintheClouds]

I can't add to this thread because this year will be our first time really eating at the parks/resorts. I'm really excited and this thread is great! I'm taking notes.

Check out my blog about one of my favorite traditions, the cheese plate and baguette in the France Pavilion at EPCOT (and maybe a Kir Royale to wash it all down)

Oh this thread is making me think of a day trip all by my lonesome ... to eat at each park ... maybe head over to some resorts. Too bad it can't happen until the fall ... but I think it's going to happen.

We don't have any must do's for our vacations, but we like to make sure we try something new each trip. Our biggest tip for this is sharing! We love to eat our way around the world, but I always have to have a Grey Goose slushie in France and an egg roll in Epcot.

Three years later, and my 7 year old still cries about how she slept through the bread pudding at Ohanas.

A Dole Whip float will be my must have treat for every Disney trip We also love those Mickey ice cream bars.

I forget what they are called but the cinnamon sugar roll up things in Norway, heaven! It's a must every time we go. They make this Norwegian girl very happy.

CRYSTAL PALACE BREAKFAST

 

[elphie101]

- The cinnamon rolls at Pop Century. I know they're probably identical to the ones everywhere else but I swear to Walt they taste better when they come from Everything Pop
- One of everything from Auntie Gravity's: strawberry banana smoothie, french vanilla iced coffee float, regular old soft serve - don't make me pick one!
- At least one trip to Pecos Bills, if only to load up my plate with mushrooms and cheese sauce (yummm)
- Churros are a must
- And somewhere along the way, a box of Disney popcorn. It just tastes better in Disney!

If we were to do a special Food and Wine edition (I'm already drooling) I'd like to add the Cheese soup from Canada, Apple Strudel from Germany and the entire Cheese booth.

Our traditions are:

- On our first full day at Disney we always go to Epcot, and with that we always have to have a Breakfast ADR for Akershus before the park opens. Then for lunch we always have to eat at Le Cellier (Cheddar Cheese Soup with Pretzel bread, Mushroom Filet with Risotto, Chocolate "Moose" dessert)

- Can't go to MK without getting a Dole Whip Float

- Can't go to DHS without having some popcorn, we always get it right after we ride TSM, so we always go to the snack cart right across the away from the attraction.

- Eat at California Grill....I love the Shrimp Tempura Sushi (yes I am a wimp ), the Oakfired Filet of Beef, and whatever dessert fancies me that night.

- We love having breakfast at Cape May Cafe anytime during our trip

- This has been a tradition the last couple of trips and it seems like it is going to stay for awhile, but have Breakfast at Crystal Palace before the park opens on our first full MK day.

- My girls and I have a tradition to have Afternoon Tea at the GF while DH goes and finds something else to do for lunch, then we all meet up at the MK for some fun and more Dole Whip Floats

- Then of course we can't walk around WS without stopping for a visit to the Caramel shop in Germany....I love the chocolate/caramel covered Strawberries and then I have recently found my new love in the Caramel/marshmallow roll .

As you can see by my signature, we go to Disney a lot, therefore we have a ton of other traditions, but didn't feel like writing a novel about them....however, the above are our most favorite traditions.
