Really enjoying your report. Thank you for sampling the Alfredo at both POFQ and POR, you have saved me a job, I’ll just stick with POFQ! 😁

Thanks I wouldn’t walk to POR for that thats for sure.

I was impressed they let you do that and it was great to sample something I’d have otherwise not tried

That will be lovely. Such a nice place and cheese and wine bar it’s that view is a must.

I still love the full ddp especially when it’s busy. Thanks we are having a great time. Only a couple of days left now.

It’s been one of our top meals for sure. Ds would have been better with the puzzle dessert but we are too cool for that sort of thing these days 😂

Wonder if I can convince mate to change one if our dinners for this😀

Am I correct in thinking it’s 2 Table Service Credits per person?

We currently have 1 TS not booked at the mo.

Mate would like to know what was in the magic cookie bar?

Thanks

See more...

Yep 2 table service credits. Dinner will be good as well though.

I’m not sure what was in the magic cookie dessert. Coconut, nuts, fudge bits, chocolate... it was good but quite sweetfor mebut I think that was the little fudge bits.

Nice, hope you enjoy it as much as we did. I’d totally recommend that mash as a side...

Thanks for the update on the POR pasta - very disappointing.

All the food at Yachtsman looks amazing and I’m always in awe of your sons food choices - there’s no chance of my daughters being so adventurous!

Thanks, it’s always the right time for cheese and crackers 😂

I haven’t loved the food courts at port Orleans as much as I thought I would. The create your own pasta is a big miss I think.

Thanks, ds was delighted with your compliment. He’s really into food, eating it and cooking it and experimenting by modifying recipes to make them his own. He’s super excited for food technology at high school after the holidays.

I think the setting is lovely and characters are great. Dh really liked the chicken.
Still glad we did it.

We loved it first time and I would have encouraged you to go for it.. never done 1900 park fare but lots of people seem to like it.

The not clearing starter did annoy me but mediocre service has been the exception overall.

I know, we were knackered. It was always planned with a nap inbetween. Just didn’t work out like that. It was still one of my best disney days though.

It’s a bit hit or miss. Dh is not a fan of the quick service at BoG but I always end up booking it as I think it’s got its benefits. Never in a million years would I pay for it though.

We paid for the dinner at Christmas and at least I felt that you got a decent meal and amount for your money. We only did that for MIl though.

Totally, so good, it’s on my list to have another one on Monday .

[4holibobs]

Oh WPE looked great, I've got it on a 'maybe' list for Disney Springs, but Blaze and Polite Pig are ahead of it at the moment.

I love the look of the strawberry float at Magic Kingdom, hope they still above them when we are there.

Also loved your spotty skirt a few posts back, you looked lovely!

Enjoy your last couple of days!

HS snacks

Trying to use lots of credits today.

Started with a couple of pop tarts, some galactic punch and smart water.

4 snack credits used

A non alcoholic pina colada slush followed.

5 snack credits used

Just before we left HS we headed to Starbucks and finally found a drink that Dh enjoyed a Strawberry Açai. Plus a mango dragonfruit refresher and 3 cake pops, 2 strawberry and one birthday cake. These were a good size and a nice wee snack.

1 quick service credit used.

[Disney Planning]

Hope you all enjoy your last few days using up all your credits 😋

Just having a catch up of your report.
Lots of ups a few downs, but lots of lovely looking food.
We also got a huge stash of choccie from Ghiradelli. I love the mint squares!
My dd also loved the Starbucks Dragonfruit Mango drink.
Have you seen the huge group at FQ? Wondered if the food court etc would be affected. They were being dropped off by 3 magical express buses as we arrived.
Enjoy the rest of your holiday 😊

Thanks.

Not noticed any big groups here but we’ve not really been in the resort that much over the last few days.

Epcot - using credits around the world.

First up Morocco. For years I’ve eyes up the Tangerine Cafe but have never been. Today was the day. We ordered a chicken and lamb shawarma combo and a Diet Coke.

I loved this, exactly my sort of flavours. Dh was less keen but he’s a bit fussy about what he likes and ds really liked it. This was my Epcot top choice today.

Then on to Japan, Katsura Grill is another place we haven’t really been. After really nice teriyaki at Tokyo we decided to go for the shrimp and chicken combo and a Kirin.

This was good too and the favourite of ds and Dh.

For America we went for a funnel cake, can’t go wrong can you and an American dream slushy.

Again we’d never had the American dream and ds loved it, 2 slushy flavours and ice cream.
We watched the guardians of the galaxy music show while having this, I really enjoyed the show. Shockingly I liked it better than the last time we were in that venue for the candlelight processional.

Itay was rubbish for credits, via Napoli pizza window was closed so I just got ds a blood orange San Pelligrino which is his favourite drink of all time.

A storm was brewing by the time we got to Germany so against my better judgement we went to Sommerfest and had the Bratwurst and a grapefruit beer. The beer was great the food was not!

We skipped China as we were running out of time so we went to Kringle, somewhere else we’ve never been. We got school bread, I’d been looking forward to trying this but I really didn’t like it. We also had a troll horn which was lovely and light.

And that was us. 3 quick service credits used and 5 snacks. Not bad for an afternoons work!

[OB1LukeLucas]

Nice snack trail, I felt the same in Germany. I loved the beer but was disappointed with the food especially the crisps. I’m yet to try the school bread it looks interesting, what did it remind you of? Was it just tasteless?
