How have I not yet had a takeout ice cream from Beaches & Cream?! We haven't really explored that area much but think I need to rectify that next year!
Gutted about that butterscotch bread pudding, it sounded so good 😭😭 Never tried a waffle sandwich, is this the only place you saw them? Just showed my DD (she is 6) the picture of your DD's Halloween haul - her eyes nearly popped out her head! 😂😂😂 we go August but am considering booking the first MNSSHP date so she gets to experience it, just a bit unsure given how early in the year it is? |

It was, and we saw lots of people leaving with a lot more than us!
We made use of the take out counter at Beaches & Cream a few times over our stay, its so lovely and amazing use of a snack credit if on DDP! They also do 'hard' shakes and floats but I never had the chance to try although they looked amazing. Yep the spicy chicken waffle was only available from Sleepy Hollow in MK, they do other waffles, including nutella and strawberries too. You should definitely book MNSSHP for next year, everyone should experience it at least once, its so much fun! We did all the treat stations, lots of rides which were walk on, met Moana (the only character we wanted to queue for), saw the parade, fireworks and hocus pocus show. It goes by so quickly and you can't fit everything in, but was one of our holiday highlights! |

So much delicious looking food!
The shakes in Toothsome look amazing, we are definitely going to go there just for dessert. Shame that The Plaza wasn't great, still it looks like you had a fab time at the halloween party and that is one very impressive candy haul!

Day 6 - Hurricane Hannahs Pool Lunch and Yak and Yeti
After our late night at MNSSHP we had a lazy morning by the pool and decided to have lunch here.
At Beach Club (and Yacht Club) you can get Quick Service food at Hurricane Hannahs which is beside Stormalong Bay. We ordered; Me - Pulled Pork Sandwich (served with BBQ sauce and Coconut-Apple Slaw and French Fries). This was delicious, the pork was juicy and had a lovely BBQ sauce. The apple coconut coleslaw was really tasty and the fries were hot and crispy. I really enjoyed this. To drink I had a Pina CoLAVA (Bacardi Raspberry Rum blended wth Pina Colada Mix and Raspberry Puree). These are so refreshing and yummy! DD ordered a Kids Cheeseburger (served in a Sand Pail with sides and choice of drink). She loved that it came with a bucket and spade, so much so she didn’t want to finish her lunch as was too excited to get back in the pool / sand area. She enjoyed this and the chocolate milk and cookie were snacked on later. DH – Wasn’t feeling particularly hungry, but after DD and I sat down with our food he changed his mind and went to order! He asked for an adults Chicken Tenders and fries – this isn’t on the menu but it’s on the kids menu so asked if they would do a larger portion. He didn’t fancy a beer or cocktail and as he refilled his mug at the drinks station he kindly ordered me another Pina CoLAVA, mmm mmm! I made a bit of a silly mistake here as I paid for DDs meal OOP, believing it wasn’t a great use of a QS credit, but forgetting that we weren’t exactly short of these (and in the end gave some away). So lunch was 2 QS ($44 value) and $9.49 oop. Oh it was a bit complicated ordering too, as the food counter won’t serve cocktails / beer, so I had to wait and order at the bar, then they sent the order over to the food counter, but DDs kids meal had to be ordered at the food counter, so there was a bit of tooing and frowing to order and collect. The bar had a couple of food options which sounded lovely, but were not included on DDP / QS. Before leaving the pool DH fancied an ice cream so popped to Beaches and Cream and ordered a 2 scoop tub of vanilla and butter pecan. He loved this. 1 Snack Credit used ($7.50 value). We headed out to Animal Kingdom later this afternoon and after getting absolutely soaked on Kali River Rapids (the ride brokedown and our boat stopped at exactly the spot where people on the bridge can press the button to spray water at the boats, for the 5 minutes that the ride didn’t move I had water continuously spray me, much to the hilarity to everyone else in the boat who was completely dry! It was like sitting in a shower) we had to check in for our ADR at Yak and Yeti. I had tried to dry off, which was utterly useless as my clothes were drenched, under a hand drier, so unfortunately my memories of Yak and Yeti aren’t the nicest as I was absolutely freezing sitting under the ice cold air con in wet clothes. However, the food was delicious! We ordered; To drink I had a Yak Attack (Mango Daiquiri, Don Q Cristal Rum with Wildberry Flavours), this was lovely, not very strong, like a frozen fruity drink. DH ordered a South Seas Traveler (Myer’s Original Dark Rum and Captain Morgan Spiced Rum, Monin Lychee Syrup and citrus juices). DD ordered an apple juice and this came in a souvenir cup to take home. DH – Korean BBQ Ribs (Half Rack of slow roasted St. Louis pork ribs, zesty BBQ sauce, crispy shoestring fries, kimchi slaw). Our server had explained that the sauce on the ribs was very spicy and recommended getting this on the side as a lot of people liked to try it first. However DH didn’t think it was spicy in the slightest and would have preferred it over the ribs as no sauce made them quite dry. He tucked in never the less. I had the Honey Chicken (Tempura Chicken, fresh vegetables tossed in honey sauce served with jasmine rice). This was really good. Nice crispy chicken, lovely sauce and well cooked rice. I really enjoyed this. DD had the Mac n Cheese, this came with grapes and a yogurt. DD said it was the nicest so far this holiday. We also ordered 2 extra sides to share, Coconut Shrimp and Chicken Fried Rice. The rice was nice and had lots of flavour but the winner here was the shrimp and I wish we had ordered 2 portions of this as it was so good. For dessert DD had an ice cream cookie sandwich. This was a generic desert from a packet but she liked it. I did find that most restaurants don’t make much effort with the kids desserts? DH had Pineapple Upside-Down Cake (served warm with Vanilla ice cream and caramel sauce) which he loved. I had the Mango Pie (Shortbread cookie crust whipped topping, raspberry sauce). This was gorgeous. I loved the buttery biscuit base and it had a lovely mango flavour, really creamy. The bill was $123.99 – 3TS covered this plus we paid $15.00 OOP for the 2 sides. We did rush through this meal though as I was so cold, so would like to go back on our next trip and enjoy it more. On the way out of the park DD picked some candy floss for a snack credit and ate some of this on the bus back to hotel. And that was it for food today! I felt really unwell when we got back to hotel, I had been in cold damp clothes for hours and felt so shivery. So I made a lemsip in my refillable mug and sat in the hot tub to warm up and had an early night. Thankfully back to full appetite tomorrow!... Day Total - 3 TS, 2 QS, 2 SC and $25 OOP for DD lunch and extras at Yak and Yeti DDP Trip Overview 12 TS Used 13 QS Used 20 SC Used 3 Mugs Activated Total Value Used - $825.00 Edited at 01:11 PM. |

Great day! Yak & Yeti is one of my favourite TS restaurants at Disney. I think the fact that it isn't Disney owned and operated really shows. I only wish we were going back here next week but not enough time to fit in all the places we want to eat.
