Welcome welcome! I have much good food to show you
I'm terrible at writing intros - so I'll just give the nitty gritty details:
We had a 2 week trip to WDW for Christmas, the week before and the week of the holiday. The crowds were beyond bananas, it was way worse than when we went in 2017 for a similar time period. Thankfully, we were mentally prepared for it and took it in stride. Just 2 adults, I have an Annual Pass and my husband got a 10 day ticket. We also had a ticket for the Christmas party. We did not do the dining plan, it never makes sense for us. I have Tables in Wonderland, and paying out of pocket always works out in our favour. We ordered whatever we wanted, and didn't miss out on anything by doing this.
At the end, I'll do a breakdown of our costs, as well as the cost of 'free' dining and if we would have benefitted from it at all or not.
Anyway, you care about the food more than my stories, so here goes.
First meal was at Homecomin' - Brunch is SO good here, we've done it once before and will book it again for sure. He started with the:
I'm not a devilled eggs fan, so he asked if he could just get 2 (a standard order is 6) and they happily obliged. We were charged 4$ for the smaller order, so bank on 2$/egg if you ask for a smaller order yourself
For his main, he had:
He really liked this, and about a week after coming home he tried to make chorizo hash. It did not go well lol. But I know he'll order this again next time we're here for brunch!
I had the:
This was very very good, I had forgotten it had fried chicken on it so that was a very great surprise (I should pay attention to menus less often, haha). Looking at it now, I'm sad there's nothing comparable closer to home - it was a great breakfast!
A great meal to start our trip. With Tables in Wonderland, we saved $11.60.
