collybird's Unfinished Business [a Fall 2019 Report] - COMPLETE

[jothp]

Wow, a brilliant report. It has taken me all week but I have now made it to the end. I have really enjoyed reading about all your food choices. Some of your favourites have been places that I haven't even really considered. It's a shame that you didn't rate the breakfast at Crystal Palace as that has always been one of our favourites and I think it is going back on the list for this year. I was also considering lunch at LTT but your review has put me off a little but I might have to keep it just for that toffee cake!

I'm very impressed that you managed to use all the snack credits with four days to spare - we've never got anywhere close.

Sorry for taking so long to replying guys, the Disney blues are strong

I think it enhances the experience especially if you are swaying away from being a ride based holiday. I love the resorts and a foodie trip can give you an opportunity to try new things . The wave and 9 dragons were stand outs for us .

Thank you for reading Sam, no DxDP for us this year and I'll definitely miss that part of the planning. I am sure it will be nice to have more free time in the parks though. I think we'll be at Nine Dragons this year!

Thanks for doing your trip report - I enjoyed following along and look forward to the next one I have only managed one food report in the past, but I may try again for my trip next year!

Definitely try to do a food trippie, it's lovely to look back on and I am sad I don't have any record of our earlier trips.

Thank you for reading! I'd love to know where you have chosen for this year.

Breakfast looks really good at Park Fare. Liberty Tavern food didn’t really look that appetising in your photos either, I’m pleased the dessert helped save it! Disappointing service especially for the Grand Floridian but at least you managed to change the room. The meal at Citros looks delicious. Its great you got to watch the pageant from the balcony but sad that you weren’t that bothered about the room after all. It’s all the more disappointing when the deluxe doesn’t quite hit the mark -Which one do you think is your favourite?
Skippers sounds like it was perfect, I’m really tempted to eat here.
California Grill food sounds lovely, shame it interfered with your MNSSHP snacking! I think your lantern photo is great.
Another bag! Looks fab.
I can’t believe you managed to tick off a few more at food & wine in between Chef de Paris and Monsieur Paul. Your fish looks amazing!
I can’t believe House of Blues bit the dust but the Cheesecake Factory definitely ended the trip on a food high, I groaned when you said you added the pasta as a bit of a side dish as I thought there was no way you were going to make dessert. (I think I might need a copy of your pasta recipe) You both deserve a medal for managing to squeeze in pudding!
Fantastic round up, I’ve thoroughly enjoyed reading your report as always. Thanks for taking the time to write up your holiday Colette. Hope you’ve both had a fabulous Christmas.

Hello fellow AWOL Dibber!

I really was sad to miss out on House of Blues as it definitely felt like Unfinished Business was left incomplete but it was so fun to eat somewhere totally left field. There was no way I was leaving without dessert!

This is the recipe for the pasta, we love it! lisaswishesblog.blogspot/...icken-and.html

P.S. I also got the Loungefly Snacks Backpack, did I mentioned that in the report?! I can't remember if I did haha. I've turned over a new frugal life this year, will this be the year there's no Dooney!?

Thank you so much for reading, I do waffle on so it must have taken forever to read.

I've really enjoyed that DxDP has allowed us to try new places rather than just sticking to our old favourites, it was fab branching out and trying so many new places this year and being pleasantly surprised, we're only doing the regular dining plan this year but I'm determined that we'll try lots of new places again.

I'd recommend dinner at Liberty Tree Tavern over the lunch, lunch just felt a bit greasy, which is odd as grease is one of my favourite food groups

Thank you again, and happy planning!

Collybird im just catching up on your report as it got lost in my active threads. I was in costco edinburgh tonight and they have ghiradellis peppermint bark just like you posted. If glasgow is closer to you then they will more than likely have it too

[Wordsworth]

Just read through your full report, thanks for sharing! The amount of food on the deluxe plan scares me, I’m hugely impressed by how well you did.

I was musing over booking Le cellier or monsieur Paul for our trip later this year and I think you may have swayed me to the latter.

So annoying about your upgraded bands, I am now nervous as I’ve upgraded mine but hopefully that’ll be sorted by the time we go, it’s not until September. At least they made an effort to fix things but it shouldn’t take someone crying to do that!

No way!? This is life changing news! Thank you for telling me. I think Aberdeen is probably closest to us and I'm supposed to be going there soon!

It really is a lot of food and it can feel quite overwhelming when you are there, you definitely do it more because 'it's included'.

Monsieur Paul is much more worthy of 2 credits than Le Cellier, it felt like a special evening but not stuffy, which is what we look for in a Signature restaurant. Le Cellier just didn't compare for us. Your ADR day will be here before you know it!

I'm still a bit miffed about the bands. I managed to pick the one I had ordered up in one of the shops so I still got it but we didn't manage to get the one Nik wanted. Hopefully it will all go smoothly with your order, which bands did you pick? I love the new red one with the Minnie heads on.

Thank you so much for reading.

I am feeling slightly panicked that I haven’t got my plan together yet, but it’s entirely irrational given I still have plenty of time until ADR day! We are staying at Yacht Club so I am keen to make use of how close we are to Epcot for dining. And I think F&W will be on so I can always try the LC steak from the booth - although maybe I’ll need my own cutlery based on your review!

I picked the red band with the Minnie heads DH went for plain blue, he wants an R2D2 skin for it. He wasn’t prepared to pay the upcharge for the Galaxy Edge band!

[Eccle]

I somehow missed this completely as I had a bit of a Dibb break, just caught up on it all. Thank you for writing it, I love your food reports and it gives me lots of ideas for the future. Lots of surprises in your final list of favourites, both Skipper Canteen and Morimoto Asia look really good. Also Cheesecake Factory too, I have always wanted to try it but the location in Orlando means we talk about it then never make it! Maybe next year

[Excitedx4]

Fab food report! Currently on a diet so have just mentally eaten all of your meals 😂😂 I’m still starving 😫! You guys did so well with the deluxe dining plan! How the heck are you so slim! I’d of gained about 6 stone!

[VizslaMom]

Fab report - thank you for taking all that time to write it !
I have read your previous reports, which have been equally as entertaining, but I'm such a lurker and tend not to comment - very naughty of me!
You have given me some more ideas of where to eat when I go in June (first time on-site and on the DDP).

Thanks again!
