Merry Stitchmas! An onsite and offsite Dining Report, December 2016

[Wismgari]

So, that was our trip! Very different to the previous trip with the QSDP and no car. We really enjoyed being able to eat offsite, tour the resorts and soak up all things Christmas!

I think we enjoyed every meal we ate so we were lucky. A couple of the standouts were:

• Longhorns - amazing steak, the best either of us has ever eaten
• Buffalo Wild Wings - my bf absolutely loved their wings and I think the cheese curds were one of the best things I have ever eaten!
• Blaze - our new favourite QS at Disney Springs - really nice pizzas and you can get exactly what you want on them!
• French Bakery - we really love this place, although wish there was more seating!

Honourable mentions also go to:

• Smokey Bones - great affordable bbq food
• Olive Garden (our final trip) - those breadsticks!
• Bubba Gumps - always a favourite with my bf and I have been dreaming of that fried chicken since we returned home
• Ihop and Perkins - We had different favourites here, but we both love a proper American pancake breakfast!

Slight disappointments:

• Garden Grill - still good, but not as good as last time and really expensive. Was worth it for the great seats at the candlelight processional though
• Ohana - great food, Stitch was less fun than previously and our server was not good.
• Olive Garden - earlier trips - disappointing breadsticks!

We are returning in May 2018, staying at POFQ and have upgraded to the DDP for the first time! So I am excitedly planning our table service meals at the moment. So it will be a different sort of trip and we will not be venturing offsite for food, so no car. However, before then we have a trip to California in October this year to do a road trip - exciting! I am totally out of my depth with planning this one, but I am hoping to manage to eat in some of our favourites! Although, I hear there are no Longhorns over there... this makes me sad! Is Outback as good?

So that is me done, sorry for the huge delay in finishing up! I am glad it is done and will give me something to look back on. I will definitely try and do another one after our trip in 2018. But for now... a very belated... MERRY STITCHMAS!

Aww so glad you finished this! It was interesting to see the kids' portions for things - they look plenty big enough for an adult! Have an amazing road trip! We did one from Orlando to New Orleans as part of our honeymoon and had the BEST time! x

Lots more lovely food & amazing Xmas decorations.

Thanks so much for sharing! Look forward to the next

Thank you for finishing the report. it was great to see the Christmas theme and lived hearing that a few off-site places were great for our trip next year. You almost made me want to go to ohana for breakfast, we do love the Poly and Stitch...but not the food or cost.
how did you get the bouncing stitch on your last post. it's awesome?!

The kids portions I had were all a good size - it was nice actually being able to finish a meal in Disney! They wouldn't have been enough for my bf who eats more than me, but for me it was plenty!

Oh, your road trip sounds fun! We are looking forward to it, but nervous - not done anything like this before!

I really enjoyed offsite food - bit sad I will miss out next time, but also excited for DDP! I have been to Ohana for breakfast three times now and sadly the Stitch interaction has got less each time... we are debating not doing it next time. I do enjoy the food though and it is the easiest way to see Stitch as there always seems to be a long que in MK. The bouncing stitch is in the long list of smilies you get by clicking "more" underneath the standard ones
