This is the 1 onsite ADR we had, to start the holiday off. We didn't 'do' all of Disney this time round so I wanted some Disney experiences in there for Poppy (and me! )
So we had a Character Breakfast at Cape May Cafe @ the Beach Club. I chose this because of the varied menu and it didn't disappoint! This is Chris first plate, He has the usual sausages etc, but he also has chorizo fritata was was lovely My first plate I loved the smoked salmon (and If I'm honest that's a big reason I was looking forward to this breakfast!) I had it with capers, and hollandaise sauce. I have a selection of cold meats and cheeses, and I adore american bacon! I had an Iced tea to drink, Chris had coffee which they kept topped up nicely My second plate, the smoked salmon sneaked back on there! But I also chose some fruit, some choizo fritata, and some quinoa. They had so many options here, it really was lovely, the kids had, Mickey Waffles, fruit, crossaints and cereal. I loved the food and the experience here. It is pricey but I booked it knowing that and we all filled up nicely on food and didn't eat again until our Epic tea at Teaks! We paid $126 with 20% Tip. Brandon is classed as an adult now)

Next up, Teaks and my favourite meal of the holiday!
As I said in my highs and lows, this is definitely very much a high for me and I had been studying the menu since we came back from our trip in 2011. I had my heart set on a PB&J Burger - (peanut butter and Jelly) or the real reason, those initials belong to my kids, Poppy, Brandon & Jessica!) But in 2013 the menu changed and my beloved PB&J disappeared from the online menu. i was gutted! So I trawled over the menu some more, and decided on a close second (drunken Monk) Then I thought, it'a America, maybe I should just ask if they caould do me the PB&J anyway... I mulled this over for a good while while I trawled the internet some more (I have a point I promise!) And I came across Teaks Underground Burger Menu. Basically they keep all the old favourites on a separate menu, periodically they give out a secret code on their facebook page and if you give the right code to your server you get to see/order off the underground menu... And guess whats on the underground menu...yup the PB&J burger yay! so all is not lost in my quest after all! So, I'm not quite au fait with twitter but I was determined to get my hands on this burger, so I tweeted Teaks before we left asking for the current code and explaining I was travelling from the UK and I needed an underground burger! And sure enough they tweeted me back and I was the proud owner of said code (Food next, honestly! ) Teaks is about a 10 minute drive from universal so if you are planning a visit you may want to do it on a day when you are at one of the universal parks. we caused a bit of a stir because we are clearly not locals (this is very much a local restaurant not frequented very often by masses of tourists. Staff were very interested in our accents and trying to guess where we are from! We were given the normal menu, and what did I see...the PB&J burger! What...you mean I didn't even need the code...its right there on the normal menu (It doesn't show on the online menu though even now) But I wasn't going to come all this way and not get to see the underground menu, our server was most impressed that I had got hold of the code! And to make me feel better Chris got a burger of the underground menu so all my hard work didn't go to waste ha! Here it is, my long awaited PB&J Burger with a side of onion rings It was a delight! I don't have a massive sweet tooth and I wondered how it would work but it does, it was just fabulous! and those onnion rings, they were massive and very crispy. They were accompanied by a tangy dip - I loved it all but couldn't finish it! Chris had a Nacho Burger on a pretzel bun with a side of cheesy fries, and struggled like I did to finish it He too loved this place, as did the kids, Jess had a kids Burger, which was huge for a kids meal! Brandon desperately wanted a burger off the adult menu but he is so fussy with so much food and all these burgers, sandwiches have an array of toppings and sauces. But with the servers help we figured out which was the best burger he could have as plain as possible! so he ended up with a chicken sandwich with cheese on it! Poppy had pasta with Marinara Sauce which was huuuggeee! she loved it but there was too much so we ended up taking it home The staff were keen for us to try a dessert but we just couldn't! The kids hoever had a make your own ice cream each, they should have one to share, but being brother and sister that wasn't going to happen so we needlessly ordered 2, knowing the amount that would be wasted! We all had a number of (soft) drinks too The manager came out to chat to us and was interested to know where we had heard about the restaurant as it isn't in a traditional touristy place, I mentioned the Dibb! We were really looked after here, staff were friendly and attentive and we left feeling like we'd had a fabulous experience. The bill came to $83 without a tip (I left a decent one as it was well deserved) It was well worth it for a family of 5 given the size and quality of the food! I debated over whether to post the underground menu but then that takes the fun out of you discovering whats on it for yourselves if you should wish to, but just to prove it does exist, here's the front of it This was a success for all of my family and I am so glad we made it here!
