Ready for more?!
Sunday 18th May.
We were booked to have breckie at Boma today which I was really looking forward to, but if you read my last review you will know TG overdosed on chilli the night before and was up all night with indigestion so we had to cancel. Oh well, something new to try next year! So you guessed it – more beignets! Only this time as TG wasn’t very hungry I got to have two of them – yey! Look at those beauties!
Shared a choc and vanilla swirl icecream in (of course!) a waffle cone at MGM! Nice! 8/10
I was still absolutely starving though and we had Lights, Motor Action to get through before lunch, so I bought a 2-pack of the mickey head coconut patties they sell in all the Disney shops. These were SO moist – if you like coconut they are the way to go! Sorry, too hungry to take picture!
Earl of Sandwich again for lunch! And we both tried something new, shock horror!
TG had an Ultimate Grilled Cheese (Combination of Swiss, Brie and Bleu Cheese with applewood bacon and Roma tomatoes), and I, following numerous recommendations on these boards, went for the All American (roast turkey, buttermilk ranch, cranberries, cheddar cheese, lettuce and tomato). We also had chips and a brownie to share! TG loved his! I tasted it and hated it, but then I hate brie so this wasn’t a surprise!! The All American was good!! Not quite up to the Original, but still a good 8/10. I just love that place! TG is a 8.5/10.
Cheese left, All American right
Dinner . . . 50’s Prime Time Café. Never been here before and sooooo looking forward to it! Our ADR was for 7pm. We waited, and waited, and waited. I kept telling TG that we couldn’t harass them as an ADR isn’t a guaranteed time blah blah blah, but eventually at 7.30 we were sick of seeing couples who had got there well after us get taken in so TG went up to the podium . . .
TG:- “Excuse me, just wondered if we can get an estimate of how long until we can be seated, as we don’t want to miss Fantasmic”
Hostess:- “Name please”
TG:- “G******”
Hostess:- “Hmmmmm . . . well you’ve already been seated”
TG:- “Hmmmm, No, we haven’t, we’re the ones been sitting right in front of you for 35 minutes”
Hostess:- “ Right . . . well this says you were seated at 7.05”
TG:- “Nope, here we are, no table and still starving . . . see that pale, shaking skelaton in the corner . . . that's my wife after not eating for a whole hour . . ."
You get the idea. The one time in my life I tried to be patient!!
We were so happy to get seated we didn’t even get grumpy!! Mistakes happen so it was no biggie and we knew we could eat quick enough to still make Fantasmic, but the manager, who I think was called Eric, came straight over and told us we could have desserts for free! What made him think we were the sort of piggies who would eat dessert I don’t know, but it was a very nice thought of his!!!
We each ordered the fried cheese starter, I went for meatloaf and TG went for potroast, and then both had Smore’s for dessert. I subbed the green beans for corn. We also has a strawberry milkshake to share.
At first our server wasn’t really in part – I think she was aware we had been held up and thought we weren’t in the mood to be messed with. But we were remarkably perky and so she soon warmed up – she had me in stitches!!!!!!!! She told TG off for ordering the same meal and drink as me, really told him off for drinking his milkshake before the entrees came out, and then at the end when she caught me paying she slapped him SO hard for not paying. Honestly I thought I was going to have a heart attack I was laughing so loud. My drink was snorting out of my nose. I think she got the biggest tip I ever left (for beating up my husband, I’m nice huh!?!). In fact I was laughing so much I left the camera case and spare battery behind and we never did get them back – whoops!
Anyway onto the food. I could just summarise it as all perfect to be honest! This is now a place we will return to time and time again! The fried cheese appie was just perfect – ideal amount of the cheese and bread, and so gooey. I loved the meatloaf and TG adored his potroast (I have found the recipe of the potroast on these boards and am making it this weekend!). We’d never had either of these before so can’t compare them to anything but to us they were superb! (though TG didn’t like my meatloaf very much). Nice quality mash as well which is always a bonus!
Milkshake . . . thick and good
Fried herb cheese
Meatloaf front, potroast back
Then smores. . . never had these before either . . . what little pieces of heaven are these?! And so much of them – I was feeling very sick by the end! The manager came out again at this point to check we were OK, and when I explained we had never had smores before and how good they were he told me how to make them. But we don’t have graeme crackers in the UK so he went and got us a pack to bring home – how kind was that?! I loved this place!!!!!
Smores from all angles!
The only tiny disappointment was that the server read us out the desserts, rather than getting the little goggle things out for us to look through (what are they called?!), but again I think she was just trying to keep everything moving quick as we had been waiting at the start!
This is the first place we have both given 10/10 to I think! Really good fun but just a bit gentler (apart from TG’s slap!) than Whispering Canyon! I would definitely recommend it, but maybe chase your table up after 15 minutes instead of 30!!!
Coming soon . . . Kona Café breakfast, Columbia Harbour House lunch, Ghiredellis snack, another goofy MYO snack, and Tony Romas dinner.
We felt like we had walked into the Beverly Hillbillies before they struck gold!! I know, its meant to look like that, but we were still worried! But the lure of the ribs won so in we went. Waited about 10 mins past our ADR time to be seated. 
Just now DD5 asked where the pictures of the food are from. When I told her Disney, she asked if I was going to try all that food. I don't know but I'd like to try. 
At least in the last couple of years we have been able to get Oreos and Reeces Pieces! That the only plus!
