Oh, liquid plastic cheese, how I miss you. I thought they got rid of all that. Nice to see it's still available in some things. Regrettably, I have never even been to Flame Tree. There are so many things I would like to try there, but these fries might just be at the top of the list now.If you've never had the pulled pork cheese fries ( I think we were at Flame Tree BBQ) you must put them on your list! They are fried smothered in liquid cheese topped with pulled pork and drizzled with BBQ sauce.....yum!!!
but will probably stick with just a 5 or 10K.
I was able to snag a late ADR at Trattoria Al Forno at the Boardwalk.
HI guys! I promise I'm not trying to ignore you!
I caught the dreaded post Disney bug and have been fighting an upper respiratory virus for the past few days
I think I cursed myself though because one evening while Devin and I were in the single rider line for Test Track we struck up a conversation with a mom who was telling us her kids get the dreaded Disney bug almost every time they go and I was all " wow that must be awful, I never get sick" annnnnd here we are, with the crud.
Once I get back from looking and feeling like death warmed over I promise I'll get to reply's and writing the next chapter
I can't believe I knew something about Disney food that you didn't know! They are amazeballsThose pork fries look amazing. Not sure how I didn't know about them, but totally have to try them now
Regrettably, I have never even been to Flame Tree. There are so many things I would like to try there, but these fries might just be at the top of the list now.
If I am a very, very, very good girl, I hope to be back to Disney at the end of 2018.
I was a bit too nervous this visit to do any exploring, so we just stayed on the resort the whole week.
Love the EE photos!
I did however make an ADR for Steve and I for the new character breakfast there when we go in May
Well, that certainly just skyrocketed to the top of my list.
Ooh look at those cheese fries! T
I asked the bag check people if everyone goes through the metal detectors now, and they said almost 90% of people do, and they said it will eventually be at 100%
I am thinking of forgoing a bag now, but I'm the sort of person that likes having her "stuff" with her at all times, and DH likes to bring like 3 bottles of water and his refillable mug with him, plus sunscreen and all sorts of knick knaks. Think we cannot avoid it lol.
It was fun closing out Epcot with you guys! I'm glad we got to ride Soarin' that one time because we didn't get to go on it again.
I hope Steve didn't give you guys anything.
Hope it doesnt' last too long for you and you'll be back to normal soon!
Feel better soon!
That looks fantastic. It's my kind of meal - meat and potatoes. And you can't go wrong with creme brulee. I think Yachtsman is at the top of my list of restaurants I want to try. I just need to convince DW and oldest DD. They don't eat beef, at all, so I can never get them to go anywhere with steak in the name.I went traditional with the filet, a perfect medium rare, with the most insanely good mashed potatoes on the planet.
I'll have to say Stacy just because I think that's pretty much the only thing I watch when I'm there, if I turn on the TV at all!Can you guess which channel it was???
Ok, I'm upright, showered ( yea!) and was back at work today!
Foreshadowing, those and the pot roast Mac and cheese you recommended might just be my fav. Disney food ever!
I kinda figured that was comingI'd love to go bagless, but I'm also that sort of person who needs "stuff" and my park attire never seems to have pockets, so I guess I'm stuck in bag check line...
It was so much fin! I was totally impress with Steve and his motivation to get on Soarin' that night
Oh, no, I'm sure he didn't, there has been all kinds of crud going around here lately too, who knows where we picked it up
Day 4This morning we decided to go back over to Animal Kingdom for a while. I had made FP's for Everest, Safari and Kali. Has anyone ever noticed how f a r the busses drop you off from the front of the park? It's like it's own Wild Africa Trek right there. We did, however get a small glimpse of Pandora and the progress of the floating mountains. I've never been over the moon excited about Avatar Land, but have seen lots of promo's on TV about it lately and I must say it's got me interested!
Once we made the 5 mile walk from the bus into AK we chatted it up with the Yeti, then chillaxed on the safari before taking a lovely raft ride on Kali. I wish I had gotten a photo but behind us in line was a group of foreign girls who were basically covering themselves from head to toe in plastic so as not to get wet. We thought it was pretty comical. Seriously, the shoes they had on they put into plastic bags and secured with rubber bands at the top so not one drop of water gets through. No girls, they give you a raft to ride in, you don't have to body surf the whole way.
I am a big fan of Kali but if you've ever been to Disneyland and have ridden Grizzly River Run it wins the battle of the circle raft rides hands down.
Anyhow, in my opinion the Beach/Yacht club has the very best pool. The sandy bottom feels amazing on tired feet, and even though it's small and very slow, the lazy river is a lot of fun. I will spare you the horror of me in a swimsuit, bit here is Devin trying to stupify a duck

Looks like it worked!
After a couple of blissful hours at the pool we rested in the room for a while and got cleaned up for our one Signature ADR for this trip, Yachtsman Steakhouse!
I was really looking forward to this dinner, as Yachtsman has been on my bucket list for a while now, and it was everything I had hoped for..
We started with the lovely lobster bisque

And Devin continued on the lobster train with a little surf and turf, a filet and lobster tail ( add on from what was covered on the DP)

And we each had a creme brûlée to top it all off.

It was a lovely Mom/daughter dinner and our server, Barry, was wonderful. We gave it four thumbs up
After dinner we waddled back to our room and turned on our favorite channel, which happened to be the only one we watched the whole trip. Can you guess which channel it was???
I've never looked into this. I guess the main reason I have never stayed deluxe is the prices. I was also never sure how to go about renting DVC points.
They don't eat beef, at all, so I can never get them to go anywhere with steak in the name.
I'll have to say Stacy just because I think that's pretty much the only thing I watch when I'm there, if I turn on the TV at all!
Glad you are feeling better!
Omg that mac n cheese was so good. It'll probably be my go-to quick service for the next trip!
invested in a few sparkleskirts and they have some big pockets. It does hold my phone. But sadly, not a poncho, lol.
It's one of those movies which needs a big screen, 3D and dolby sound.
really want to see the new land! I guess we'll have to wait until August.
I know about those girls, were they Asian? They really like to cover up. It'll be 95 degress out and they will wear long sleeves, or a hoodie, a hat, long pants, socks and sneakers
Looks AMAAAAAZING!!! Seriously I've never not loved a meal there. It's delicious and the service is so friendly, I'm always guaranteed lovely evening whenever I'm here.
Stacy?
Ditto! Can't wait to read more!
ETA: And of course, am loving your TR!
I'm guessing along with @Terra Nova guy that you watched Stacey! I could leave her on the whole trip and not tire of her loop
Your entree at Yachtsman looks perfect! I also love the rolls with garlic cloves they serve there and I just made a reservation to go back in May, I can't wait!
Mmmmmm, creme brulee and lobster? That pool is now on my bucket list. I've already been bad and we are getting new cell phones, but hey, gotta live a little bit, right? I will henceforth get remotivated!!
Stacey
No worries! I'm so glad to have you here now though! it's so hard to get caught back up, isn't it? I'm still working on it myself!
I kinda like the long layover too, no stress catching the next flight for sure
More like drop dead coma type of sleep
Sorry, vertically challenged mining folk
