We had a more relaxed start this morning, and went and got pastries from the Beach Club shop and sat outside to eat them. I had a Honey bun (huge!), David an Apple Blossom, Alex a croissant and Sebastian a chocolate muffin. Barnaby was desperate for a banana, these were crazily priced at $2.25 (they are 15p at Aldi at home!) and on all levels a bad use of a snack credit, but we realised we were never going to get through them so went with it, he had some of my honey bun too
We went into MK and had a parade package reservation at Tony’s. This gives you a three course meal for $55 or $19 for children, with a reserved viewing area by the flagpole. On the dining plan you can also have alcohol (I had Prosecco, David had a glass of moscato). There was also bread brought out with dipping oil.
For starters I had the fried mozzarella, Alex the tomato and red pepper soup and David the spinach dip. These were all pretty good and the soup was lovely.
Sebastian and Barnaby ordered apple slices and grapes respectively for both their starter and their side with their main. When the starters came two bowls of apple came. They did bring grapes when I asked, but we never got the second grapes with the main.
We had a pretty long wait for the mains, David says he saw our server looking at our empty table then going purposefully to the kitchen. When they eventually turned up, I had chicken fettuccine Alfredo, David had the Italian trio (chicken parmigiana, fettuccine Alfredo and meatballs), and all boys had spaghetti meatballs.
I failed to photograph Alex’s, it was much bigger than the children’s portion.
All these were huge. Mine was ok but very garlicky and nowhere near as good as the Olive Garden version.
For dessert I had tiramisu, David raspberry sorbet, Alex chocolate ice cream, Barnaby vanilla ice cream and Sebastian a cupcake. We were a bit rushed by now as we had a Mickey and Minnie FP before the parade and were running out of time.
The desserts were crazily big. My tiramisu could have fed all of us! It was ok, but not the best I have had.
Our parade view was good, but right in the hot sun, and we could have got kerbside spaces opposite easily.
Overall I am not sure I would do Tony’s again, and I think I slightly regret choosing this over Sana’a (which we had a reservation for but ended up cancelling)
In the evening we went into Epcot and had nachos and churros at Cantina de San Angel, getting two of each to share. David and I both had a beer with it. These were nice but not as good as I remembered on previous trips. The churros came with a caramel sauce and were really nice
