While my sister and her husband had an anniversary dinner at Narcoossee's, my Mom and I took the kids to Kona Café for dinner. Piña colada for me, and you can see in the background the virgin piña colada and strawberry daiquiri the kids got. Pot stickers. We had to order a second plate of these. One of the kids devoured all of the seaweed salad it's served with. Dark picture of some tasty chicken wings. Caterpillar roll. Interestingly enough my Mom and I had dinner a few days later at Jiko and sat at the cooking place. One of the chefs there, Erin, used to work at Kona and sai

What's that you say? You need another tea report from me since it's only been 2 months since the last one? Well... ok. If you insist! This time I was back with my Mom and once again had Riley as our server. She's great! After we were seated I was looking around at the other tables and I noticed that the tray they bring with jam, lemon curd and clotted cream was distinctly lacking in strawberry jam. When Riley took our order, I inquired about the jam situation. She said it was apricot, which although I'm sure was lovely, just wasn't what I had in mind for my scone. I asked if by any chance

My sister and her husband just had an anniversary dinner there last week and raved about it. Here are the pictures she took of their meal. Gluten free buns. Butter with purple salt. Calamari. Apparently the best they've ever had. Gluten full bread. Local beer. Gluten free brownie dessert.

I looked at the menu for Casey's Corner. Are those "Corn Dog Nuggets"? They looked like hush puppies to me, but I don't see those on the menu. How were they? They look like something I need to try on my next trip. :)

The day trip went by too fast! The March trip is a week-long one with my Mom, my sister, her husband and their two kids. It'll be a whole lot harder to do that one... No promises. I also don't know what my sister's privacy threshold is like. I'll talk to her about it before we go. Thanks for the info about the SOTMK rules. You're right - I won't be getting new cards under those rules. I understand why they did it though. I think I only ever played the game once but I know I got cards more often than that. I've had my Fitbit One since November 2012. I do like it, but I'd say I use it more

A couple of pitchers of sangria with friends last night helped lubricate my mind and bring back a couple of things I neglected to include in yesterday's installments. So I'll backtrack a bit first before picking up where we left off. Forgotten Thing #1 Right after I got onto Main Street first thing in the morning, I went to pick up some SOTMK cards for my sister. (This was before going to Pirates.) The CM scanned my MagicBand and said I already had a game in process, so before he could give me any more cards I had to go unlock a portal in Fantasyland (? - I've forgotten now). Have you ever h

I'm getting ready to write another exciting installment, but first a few comments. I do seem to spend an inordinate amount of time in Florida all things considered. But my FF "Location" to the left still reveals me as being stuck in the Great White North. The sweet cream cheese pretzel is a thing of beauty as far as I'm concerned. Big enough to share, but not so big that I can't scarf down the whole thing if necessary. I think you can get them at all of the parks. Let me know if you want me to dig up a list. The land line was a minor inconvenience. My cell phone worked enough for

There's nobody in line! What else could I do? I mean, I had no choice obviously. I think the guy who served me was... bored? feeling generous? taking pity on me because I was alone? I swear that was the biggest Dole Whip I've ever been served. Spoon for scale. And the nice thing about eating a Dole Whip in 55° weather instead of 85° weather is it doesn't start melting the moment you walk away. As an added bonus, I also had this seating area all to myself for a while. Obligatory Dole Whip selfie. (No selfie sticks were used in the production of this or any other selfie I may post. I

When I was doing this day trip I thought to myself, "I should write this up as a trip report." But then I got back and read another one of TCD's excellent trip reports and thought to myself, "I can barely remember what I did that day. How am I going to write that up as a trip report?" But here I am throwing caution to the wind. I started this trip report once this afternoon and managed to lose everything I'd written. I assume this is why the more clever writers do theirs in Word first and then paste it here, rather than writing directly in the forum. The Build-Up I went to WDW with my

Thank you for the pictures! I'll be eating there next month and it'll be my first time.

Score another one for Fiends on the scene!

This was just as good as any other time I've had it... And the service just as slow. But worth the wait!

Fortunately the onion tart is still there. (I took a picture of just the tart but didn't post it.) My server said they knew there'd be riots if they got rid of the onion tart. You're right that the menu really has changed a lot. I'd love for it to be changed back by the time I get there in March but I'm not holding my breath.

Not only does L'artisan des Glace have their own Twitter feed, but so does Cava del Tequila!

Squeaked in a day trip to the Magic Kingdom by myself yesterday and went alone for afternoon tea. At which time I discovered that they've changed the menu! And the prices! Spoiler alert: I'm not a fan of change, and I liked the old menu and prices better. Here we go. Since the menu options were new, I took pictures of each of the new "-shire" tea options. They start with the most expensive... Yorkshire - $175, service for two. Berkshire - Same food as above, but save $25 by not having champagne. Cheshire - No caviar, but you get cheese with your cheese. (What?)

My sister got a gluten-free meal from him in October and was thrilled to bits. I had no idea he was this famous though! Can't wait to tell her and ask her if she minds me posting the little video I shot of them when he delivered dessert.

There's another Trail's End thread here if you wanted to consolidate.

Thank you for those pictures of the caterpillar roll. I'm taking my sister's 9 year old twin boys there for dinner in March while she and her husband have an anniversary dinner at Narcoossee's. One of the twins is just crazy for seafood of all kinds and I think that caterpillar roll will be a big hit. (Though his all time favorite is the seafood buffet at Cape May's.)

I've looked at all the photos you've posted recently — I think you and I like to go to a lot of the same places. I want to go eating with you! You do it up right! Any chance you'll be there in March? :laugh:

Wait no longer! Somebody has the entire album up on YouTube. Mickey Mouse Disco

I can't imagine I'll stumble on first page bragging rights again, so I'll take it while I can get it! Looking forward to hearing your observations. I've been to DL once but it was in something like 1991 or so... I don't remember much.

This is a little off topic, but I didn't want to start a whole new thread. Lately my husband has been wanting to get out his record collection. A friend gave us a turntable so my husband went to the storage locker and brought up our combined stash of LPs. Mine was a great little dose of nostalgia from my childhood...

The same as the one in the picture I posted? Nice!
