Where have you "beignet" all my life? QSDP Sept 2019. COMPLETE

[sha9]

We had originally booked another BoG breakfast today, again before EEMH was announced. I then changed to later thinking we’d do a few rides first and then changed it back to 8am after we realised we’d probably be up early. I then cancelled it thinking it would be nice just to wake naturally today as we were so tired. First breakfast was a muffin and coffee again in the room.

We decided that even though we’d have to pay for them we wanted to try the Cheeseburger Spring rolls so headed round that way mid-morning. We were thwarted again as this time it wasn’t open yet! We get a Dole Whip since we were here. We pre-ordered from Aloha Isle but they waited until we arrived anyway as I had ordered raspberry Dole Whip and they ask if you want pineapple/raspberry swirl. We both chose floats so I had pineapple/raspberry swirl in pineapple juice and Marie just had pineapple/pineapple.

We managed to find a table across from Aloha Isle and sat there to eat them. I really like the addition of the raspberry for a change. We sat here for a wee while people watching and suddenly Aladdin appeared at the table next to us and said something to the wee boy there. Unfortunately I couldn’t get my phone out fast enough to take a photo!

We were in Tomorrowland at lunch time so decided just to go to Cosmic Rays. Again we mobile ordered and Marie went to get a table while I hung around the mobile order point. I found we had variable experiences with the app working after we’d clicked “I’m here” and some places would say the food was ready when it wasn’t so more often than not we just went straight to the mobile order collection point.
I had ordered the mac and cheese foot long hot dog with fries and Marie just wanted chilli cheese fries. I also was intrigued by the smores cookies so ordered these too.

Since it was the foot long mine was massive. As I’ve had to do before I scraped off the mac n cheese and I also had to cut the hot dog in half. In the end Marie ate some of it. I enjoyed it though. I halved one of the smores with Marie and took the other one back to the hotel. It was ok.

Dinner was DS again. We had decided on the way from the car park that if Polite Pig looked ok (it’s the first place you pass coming down the escalator from Lime Garage) then we’d go there but if it was busy we’d go somewhere else, maybe Chicken Guy.
Polite Pig was very quiet so we headed in. There was only one person in front so we were served very quickly. We both ordered “From the Smoker” as this is the best deal on dining plan. You get a main with jalapeno cornbread, Signature Polite slaw and a Market Side. I chose the Cedar Plank Salmon which has a maple-dijon glaze and Marie had the Half Chicken which comes with a Citrus marinade. We chose mac n cheese and waffle fries as our sides and I was interested to try the Crispy Brussel Sprouts. I had to pay OOP for these but I wasn’t charged full price which was $6, just $4 for some reason.
I really enjoyed this and although the sprouts were still sprouts they were palatable. I struggle with veg as mostly it makes me want to heave so I’m always looking for something that makes me not hate eating them. The salmon was really nice and Marie really liked the chicken. I tried some of the sauces but they weren’t that great.
One thing that put me off was the lack of plates. Plus Marie said the chicken was the only thing she fancied on the menu so that would put her off coming back.

Dessert was the last of the pie with a cup of tea in the room.
