I love the Peter Pan queue. They did such a nice job with it. Sorry your feet weren’t loving your shoe choice. I bet they wouldn’t have blinked an eye at flip flops at CG but better to be safe than sorry. Brunch looks amazing. Two incredible meals back to back! I can’t wait to try brunch next month!! I’m hoping they still let you try a couple of entrees as I can’t make up my mind. Your afternoon looks relaxing. I didn’t know there were foot masks! Genius!!
Those new "action stations" at California Grill look amazing! We have a brunch booked for November. I can't wait to see what they offer!
Your poor feet... glad you had some goodies to pamper them with!
What a glorious looking brunch after a fun morning at MK! Love your relaxation post food and drink!
It's fancy "mimosa" There is no OJ but rather blueberry juice that has been made into those boba balls.What exactly are these? I keep seeing them and people are calling them mimosa's but for the life of me I can't see an OJ in there.
It was such a nice surprise to see that action station as well. I just hope the addition of action stations won't mean price increasesYUM to the um to the um, um, um!!! I had no idea they had added anything to the buffet. That butter cake looks and sounds amazing. Fingers crossed its still there when we go again in February. And those biscuits. They were my favorite on our last visit.
I just feel bad that all that bacon to go to waste! With my mother that eats little to begin with, it was so sad.California Grill, Coronary much? That is enough bacon to feed a small village.
Yeah...that was too much food within 18 hours. Oh well! Learn from the mistakes.Glad you enjoyed though I can totally see how you'd be done after V&A the night before.
Aleve and Wine is also a good choice. We like our downtime as it balancing out the go go of the parks but still lets us relax from work.What a great way to spend the afternoon. I'll have to remember that. Seems a much better way to relax and pamper the feet than my traditional aleve and wine cocktail.
All caught up! Love your food reviews--though I'm sorry about your foot
I am very excited for brunch at California Grill in November!
I am following along!
Did these actually taste like candy corn? Casey had wanted one but Jason said he thought they only looked like candy corn and didn't taste like it so we skipped it.
Wow, your Mom looks really determined!
That is ridiculous. If it goes down before you get there why would it not count if you were there already. Weather or not that is just absurd.It was announced that they were sorry for anyone that had used a FP+ but they were not able to offer a re-entry pass for matters outside of their control. If we had gotten there less than 5 minutes later than we did - our MDE would have given us an anytime FP+.
Yum, one of my favorites!

I've always contemplated getting this but never have. Definitely need to rectify that.he chicken was a nice surprise as well. I really liked the breading on top of the breast along with the flavor of the chili glaze. I almost didn't order it but I'm glad I did!
It would have been! Lesson learned and hopefully a PSA if you have a FP+ for that ride and it looks like storms are coming!Sorry about the mine train fiasco. It would have been nice to get a fp for another day!
Super dumb crazy busy at work but following along. Sneaking a peek at the boards at my late lunch. Love your reviews. Your descriptions and pics are the best of the best. Your purse! Oh my, do you know how much I love Lady and the Tramp? And the memories you are making with your Mom. I can't begin to express how much I am loving seeing you two share Disney and shopping and meals. I miss my Mom. Enough said.
About our one day at trip at Epcot, and the IOA/US/HHN the day before, yes, I am crazy, but with adult son and his wife's crazy schedule, and my other adult son, I have to cram what time I have with them I can. My hubby and I laugh about how we have to bribe them with free tickets, free hotel and free air fare. Yes, we pay for it all, just because it means to much so spend this time with all of them. I am so glad for your F&W reviews. It has helped tremendously. Our first time for HHN was last year and we had a complete blast. Somehow we bribed everyone to return this year, with Epcot F&W as a carrot.
Still here and enjoying!!
That is strange about your Mine Train Fast Passes... That doesn't really seem like the "Disney-Way". Bummer
We love Skipper Canteen!
I’ve been wanting to try Skippers Canteen for awhile but my husband is so picky! Boo! But I’m thinking he would love that chicken!
I’ve got to figure out that Buzz lightyear trick! I am so bad! Lol! Love jungle cruise and Ariel is my girl! Losing a mine train FP is awful!
Well, candy corn tastes like super sweet vanilla. This tasted like super sweet vanilla so yes.Did these actually taste like candy corn? Casey had wanted one but Jason said he thought they only looked like candy corn and didn't taste like it so we skipped it.
She wanted to break that 200K mark!Wow, your Mom looks really determined!
Yup! Now we know.That is ridiculous. If it goes down before you get there why would it not count if you were there already. Weather or not that is just absurd.
Your reviews were why I told my mom to get that dish she I knew she would like the flavors.Yum, one of my favorites!
This was a perfect way to get it too since we were splitting food. They have so many interesting dishes there that why would you get chicken? We knew we had the dessert party so go with something easy to split and that we know won't fill up too bad.I've always contemplated getting this but never have. Definitely need to rectify that.
Hope you get to try it too! It is such a nice treat.California Grill brunch really looks good! I hope to try it in May, I have never been.
They did! Should have rocked other shoes but it happens!Hope your feet were feeling better!
We tried exactly the same appetizer and entree as you at Skipper Canteen, I really enjoyed both!
Yeah, frustrating but sometimes Disney isn't magic and we should let others know about that.Sorry about your 7DMT FP, ugh!!
That seems silly about the mine train FP. I have to say, I’m kinda meh on the ride. Maybe it was overhyped and or trying to fold myself into the seat was a challenge but I didn’t love it. I have a FP to try again in Oct - hope we don’t have a closure!
I maxed out Buzz Lightyear one time purely by accident and it remains one of my proudest Disney moments.
I haven’t tried Skipper’s Canteen yet... it looks so good!
I love the water parade. Pure nostalgia. But I’m sure younger guests look at it and think “what the heck?” I hope it never changes. And you’ve reminded me I need to try to see this next month.
I haven’t seen Happily Ever After either. The dessert party looks like a good option. I’m not much of a sweets person but looks like they have some savory options too. Now if they could just add some wine....
You're making me excited for the star wars party. What night are you going? We will be there on the 3rd.
Great idea!!Make him go and have him ask for the sauce on the side. Then its literally just fried chicken with rice and veggies. Who doesn't like that?
Glad to see you all enjoyed the dessert party. I've been on the fence about doing it as I'm like you and aren't really into the nighttime shows and more importantly waiting in crowds. We saw HEA from California Grill on our last trip but of course couldn't see the castle projections. But I'm not sure I'm ready to pay that much money without alcohol
Great idea!!
It looks like you had a nice dessert party! Oh my goodness, cheeseburger egg rolls! They used to have a cart in Adventureland and I really want to try them!!! I love taking the boat when we stay a poly! Seems much faster!
The dessert party looks wonderful; I love fireworks shows but I am on the short side and I always feel at a disadvantage, that I do not do well with the masses. The chocolates were a nice touch.
I watched Tim Tracker's vlog on F&W yesterday, helped a bit and made me change some of my options, but your postings help more
Hope your weekend is good; following along!!
