Winging It - Disney without a dining plan May 2018 ***COMPLETE***

Lovely end to you holiday with brunch at Olivia's. We’ve got lunch booked on our travel home day too. I’m hoping it’s as nice as your breakfast. One of the main reasons for booking it was so we don’t have to eat at the airport as that’s always a bit of a lottery imo with not much choice.

Agreed, the choices at the airport are a bit rubbish. You won't regret booking Olivia's I'm sure.
Not too long for you now

I had cereal, yogurt and orange juice.

Our plan was to spend the morning at Animal Kingdom. After riding on the Na’vi River and watching the new bird show we needed some refreshment, so Tamu Tamu was our destination. No prize for guessing what we had. Sean remembered to bring one of the bottles of rum from the flight out with him, so we provided our own enhancement.

For lunch we decided to give the new (well new to us) pre-ordering system a try. We selected Satu'li Canteen and chose our food on the app while we were still sitting at Tamu Tamu, then just hit the final order button once we were ready to eat. The whole process was very efficient and I was able to walk straight up to the counter to collect our food. If you are on the dining plan you can use your credits, otherwise it gets charged straight to your credit/debit card – not to your room.

I chose the beef bowl and Sean had cheeseburger steamed pods. We also had an iced water each.

The food here was absolutely delicious and we can’t wait to come back and try some more of it.

Once we were done at Animal Kingdom the intention was to go back to OKW and enjoy some drinks and snacks beside the pool. The weather gods had other ideas and no sooner had we got settled than the heavens opened. Never mind, beer and chips on the balcony while watching the rain taste good too.

For our evening meal we decided to take the short journey from OKW to Port Orleans French Quarter to give Sassagoula Floatworks a try. My expectations were quite high for this one, having read good things in other people’s food reports. Sean enjoyed his bacon cheeseburger but my prime rib was a bit meh. Everything had clearly been cooked for some while and then left sitting on a hot plate. I didn’t eat it all and probably wouldn’t bother returning here, it had a very canteen like feel to it and not much atmosphere.

To round off the day we took the boat to Disney Springs to sample some Ghiradelli chocolate. The rain got very heavy again, so we didn’t stay too long and soon headed to the bus stop and back to POFQ, where we had left the car.

How did you manage to sneak the rum into the park?

I once got a mini bottle of Tabasco confiscated on the way into HS because it was glass.
