Welcome fellow forky's and lovers of all thing trash to another one of my drinking dining reports. For those joining for the first time, we’re a family of picky eaters who hate signature restaurants and love milk with our meals. For those back again 
So who the forky are we?
I’m Kari the family matriarch. I’m a sweet and shy Disney lover who loves mushrooms, Peco’s Bills salads, and boxed Disney wine.
Next to me is my very serious husband Jason who hates Disney, but puts up with it for me as long as I promise him a meal at Chef Mickey’s.
This is our 8 year old daughter Casey. She is a quiet and reserved little girl who only eats plain noodles and french fries. Her favorite ride is Tricera Top Spin and she loves waiting in line.
LIES LIES EVERYWHERE
This is the real us.
We never met a donut
Drink
Or signature restaurant we didn’t like
Now for the details our trip was August 10-19 staying at Caribbean Beach Resort followed by a few days visiting our best friends in Savannah. It was hotter than hades the entire trip and crowds were way higher than years past but we found ways to cope and cool down.
There was a bit of a cloud over this trip as our dog was having a lot of trouble while we were gone. We thought we’d have to come home early and even bought plane tickets and never unpacked. But my amazing Dad swept in and took care of him as a birthday present to me.
Meet Duval. We call him the Forrest Gump of dogs because he’s not a smart man, but he knows what love is. He’s still not doing great but he’s an almost 12 year old Newfoundland which is down right ancient in giant breed terms.
Now back to the food. This dining report will beclassy signature restaurant heavy
With copious amounts of tipsy notes
And Snacks. All the snacks.
We’ll return to some perennial favorites (Jiko, California Grill, Nomads, Via Napoli),
Try some new to us restaurants (Wine Bar George, Frontera Grill, Ale and Compass),
And even throw in some tipsy time with some of my best DIS friends.
As for the title, sporks how do I love thee? I’ve had a weird fascination with sporks my entire life. As a kid I thought there was no better treat then a little mashed potatoes in a styrofoam bowl from Kentucky Fried Chicken eaten of course with the mythical spork.
Queue the romantic music when a life long love affair between a girl and a confused utensil was born. Jason (a former chef) even contemplated opening a food truck for a while called “spork.” where of course everything had to be eaten with the world’s greatest utensil. Sadly that never happened but to this day we buy sporks 1,000 at a time (get yours here). So when I saw Disney created not just a spork character, but one just as trashy as me, I knew I’d finally found my Disney spirit animal.
Forky will be a prominent fixture in this report and I’ll invoke a very complicated forky rating system to judge all of our meals by. You’ll be asking yourselves…
How Many Forkys Do I Give?
How Many Forkys do I Give?
None, not one, zero, zero, zero, done
Not so subtle shout out to my favorite housewife and a prelude that there will be a meal with zero forkys given.
So grab your sporks, pour yourself an adult beverage, and get ready to get your forky on!

Fussy feeding, non-drinking and now SPORTY Kari is never going to be the same craic as the girl we've all come to love 
. Hope you get a commission on any sales. Gotta pay for those Disney trips somehow 
Not quite ready to order 1,000 but will try to search one out on the next trip and will save the link in case it's a life-changing experience! I've got to say I'm optimistic that it will be, as your recommendations have never steered me wrong!!
