Thanks for the CG review - really looking forward to this and thinking I may have t try that pork!!
Your son is just like me, never met a gingerbread I didnt want to eat! It was at the Villan's store right next to Starring Rolls...it is so super moist and wonderful! They did not have them at Writers Stop but they did have the carrot cake cookies.
I want to try Narcoossees too, the food looks really good, make sure you let us all know what you think about it
How I wish for no crowds when I arrive next Friday!!!Overall the crowds are ZIP!
We are back for a while to rest and beat the rain...we started out a bit late because "someone" would not wake up...I did cancel our Sci Fi ressie but that was ok, we know we like the place and maybe we will make it over there on Monday.
Stepping outside our door was beautiful sunshine and here are some pics from around our room, building 3.
So peaceful and quiet, and it was just 10am! I cannot wait to stay here again, we are just loving this place!
We decided to eat breakfast at the food court, I told DH to get in line and we would share a breakfast platter and I would get the beignets and he wanted a cinnamon bun...if you guys read my reviews you will know Todd has never met a cinnamon bun he did not like!
Word of advice here ladies, never let a hungry man get the food...because he will get too much! The boy comes over to me with a biscuits and gravy platter, a king creole platter and a fruit plate, plus a large OJ (which I am not a fan)....I said to him "Hungry much? Who is joining us for breakfast??" It was only $17 because we used our TIW card here for 20% off! That is a deal! If you are staying at the POFQ make sure you purchase your bottled
drinks here instead of the gift shop so you can save $
There wasnt anyone in the CS place, it was dead quiet, no lines for any food either...that is a great sign! Love a nice quiet CS place.
I ordered a 3 piece beignets, they came loaded with powdered sugar. The guy put the sugar in the bottom of the dish and then the beignets on top and doused them with more powdered sugar. They were light and wonderful and reminded me of fried dough, not funnel cake but the fried dough we get in New England. DH inhaled before he bit it and the powdered sugar was everyone, it was hilarious! DH had 2 and I had 1...pastry hog that he is! Very good but I dont know if we would get them again.....the cinnamon bun was much better!
Onto the cinnamon bun, it was warm, it was gooey and it was not big enough to share with DH...I think he has a sick addiction to sweet pastries! Possibly the best (close second to Main Street Bakery) that we have had at WDW...we are def getting another one tomorrow!
Here is the large OJ
The fruit is outstanding, cold and fresh and sweet and not mushy...we had to fight over the honeydew....sooo good!
Biscuits and gravy is DH's thing...we did not have this stuff when I was a kid but when I moved to FL 19 years ago I was introduced to "slop on a plate" and the best is at Bob Evans...DH is not that picky and will eat it anywhere. He really liked this but I thought it was ok...the biscuits at WDW are not the greatest but there was alot of gravy and it actually had sausage in it when most WDW places do not. For $3.39 it is a steal and of course DH ate almost all of it.
The King Creole platter had terrible potatoes, super dry scambled egg bits, great sausage link (just one) DH ate the bacon and said it was ok and a semi good biscuit....I told him next time he is in line for eggs get me creamy semi wet ones instead!
I didnt eat too much here but suprise suprise all the food was gone...my little piggy ate everything...hmmmmm still hungry after last nights dinner??
Love it!
Can't wait to hear about Tonys. Have a blast!
OMG! Cali grill looked to die for!!! Do tell about the pork tenderloin dish...did it have a lot of mushroom flavor??? I can not stand mushrooms at all, but there isn't many on the plate, I could push them aside I am thinking I may have to change up some things for my upcoming ADR's!! I have seen several reviews of cali grill recently and it looks so scrumptious!
flatbreads are back, so that means Cali Grill is back on our list!!
teh wine list you posted - $10 - $15 per glass? Oh well, its Disney, its a night out...
I cant believe you havent been here before!! When we were there last I ordered the chicken entree with gnocchi, I've never had that - it was super delish! The fillet looks wonderful to me - as I was reading it I wondered how it would compare to the LeCellier Fillet of old!! Yes, my mouth is watering!! Thank you!!
Sorry you had a bad food experience at Raglan Road. That polenta and pork dish from CG looks sooooooooo good! Do they have a drooling smilie?
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank god and thank you for letting us know!!!!!!!!!
Well, I finally finished reading CG review! I am SO glad that you liked it! The two of you just picked my menu , risotto, pork and the valhrona cake
It's such a shame about the rain - or can I say - another reason to go back!
Have a magical day today!
Thanks for the CG review - really looking forward to this and thinking I may have t try that pork!!
Oh my gosh- the pork dish from Cali Grill looked amazing! I have never been there before but I'm definitely heading there the next time I'm in WDW. Sorry the weather was so crappy, hopefully it gets better for you! Enjoy the rest of your trip- looking forward to your reviews
First off, POFQ holds a special place in my heart as the first Disney resort I've stayed at "on site", back in early 1992, when it was just Port Orleans. It marks the time I was officially spoiled for staying on site. Loved it back then, love it now. And The Resort Formerly Known as Dixie Landings, too.
You're making it VERY hard to skip California Grill in October. I have October and December trips, so I probably could squeeze it in somewhere. Now that the flatbreads are back, I really want to go back.
Actually, it's too bad you're arriving after I leave. I would have split an entire meal with you, based on what you'd want to order. In this case, I would have split a flatbread, the spicy Kazan roll sushi, the risotto, and the pork. Any combination of those items! But I would get the chocolate dessert for myself and would not share.
I cannot believe you just made me change my ADR's that have to be made on MONDAY!! Now i have to try and figure out how to fit Cali Grill in there. I didnt think that I would like anything there at all b4 I saw your pics.....Thanks
I am so glad we are headed to WDW tomorrow so I can get one of those Passionfuit Mango Slushie things at DHS!!!
Glad you had a good time at Cali Grill, it looked amazing. Shame about the weather.
Great report,so much detail.Thank you for feeding our addiction to food porn,lol.Anyone know if the biscuits and gravy is a snack credit?My kids would love that.
Thanks! You just made a little boy so happy!!
Nicki, Narcoossees is our new favorite signature restaurant. The food is fabulous, the service is wonderful and the view is just amazing. My DH still talks about their Seafood Bisque soup! I discovered if you're staying at the GF you can order room service directly from the restaurant. That's our plan for our water park day, wear the kids out then have a surf and turf on the balcony!
How I wish for no crowds when I arrive next Friday!!!
Happy to hear you enjoyed Cali Grill. I didn't know the pork was their signature dish, I had it 9 years ago. It was delicious back then too!
Hey I have to tell ya I canceled TH and switched to Boma. I think it will just be easier to head to a water park from there rather than from AK. I don't feel like trekking thru a park just for breakfast . DH also agreed and said let's go check out AKL, never been. I was just drooling over your Boma photos. The kids can survive one breakfast without characters!
Enjoy your day relaxing by the pool!

Great reviews! Count me in on this trip with you too! Love your live reports! Glad you are enjoying POFQ. We went our first time and then the Poly after.
Oh WOW! I can't wait to try Cali Grill! That pork looks amazing! Now, being Italian too, I would have to strain myself from grabbing the bread and eating up the rest of the risotto sauce too! My DH wants to go there for the sushi, which I hear is outstanding! Have a great day today, and I can't wait to read more.....
OMG Nikki, your husband sounds EXACTLY like mine. We've stayed at POFQ that last 2 years (and will be there again end of October this year ) and he would always get that creole platter, oatmeal, 2 juices, beignets, etc. We ran out of snack credits in the middle of the week! I was so PO'd!! This time I will be getting the food.
What are your dates for October? It looks like we may be there at the same time
Morning, Nic. I hope today brings you guys better weather and looking forward to Tony's review.
