Weekend Trip Dining Review Oct. 2014

[ashleyc1113]

DH and I decided to take a short weekend trip down to Disney World to enjoy some of the food and wine festival and look at the Halloween decorations. We only had one ADR and the rest of our meals were either from F&W or QS.

Here is a list of restaurants we ate at on this trip:
- Everything Pop
- Landscape of Flavors
- Contempo Cafe
- Tusker House
- L'Artisan des Glaces

We also dined at the following F&W booths:
- Belgium
- Hops & Barley
- Morocco

We arrived on Friday afternoon and checked into Pop Century. DH went to Halloween Horror Nights with some friends tonight, so I ventured off to Epcot alone.

My first stop was L'Artisan des Glaces to try the Pumpkin Macaron Ice Cream. The ice cream was delicious, the macaron was okay. The edges of the macaron were cooked perfectly, but once I got to the center, it was very chewy. I would order this again.

Next up, I stopped by Belgium to grab a Potato & Leek Waffle for dinner. This was absolutely amazing and so filling! Highly recommend if you want to use a snack credit for dinner. The waffle was kind of like mashed potatoes with a little bit of crispy edges to them and the meat fell apart when touched with the fork. Delicious!

I hung around Epcot until park closing and then caught a bus back to the resort. I was a little hungry and had heard great things about the Cheesy Pesto Bread at Landscape of Flavors, so I decided to walk over there and check it out. Personally, I didn't think it was worth the money and wouldn't buy it again. The pesto had a good flavor, but the bread was kind of soggy and the cheese hardened up and just became really unappetizing. I was disappointed because I love cheesy bread!

Woah! Not sure why my last picture showed up so huge! Sorry about that!

Next morning, we headed to Magic Kingdom. Stopped by Starbucks to grab some coffee for breakfast.

Hopped a monorail over to Epcot to eat at some F&W booths for lunch.

First stop was Morrocco for a Kefta Pocket and Baklava. The Kefta Pocket has great flavor too it. The slaw/veggies inside added a nice crisp. The Baklava was okay, but nothing to write home about. A little too sticky.

Okay, since my pictures are being obnoxious, I'm going to wait until later to finish this. I'm going to upload the pictures to another photo sharing site. Sorry!

I'm enjoying it- large pictures and all! Can't wait to read more!

I was unimpressed with the pesto bread at AoA too. Maybe it was just the one I got, and I'd try it again to be sure, but I wasn't crazy about it.
