I love the France photo in front of the fountain! So pretty! Enjoy your last few hours!
So many comments, where do I start?!
I have to make it back over to your report and catch up!
First I am in AWE by Todd's ability to get reservations wherever he goes. That's insane! I can't even imagine a walk-up at LC...last time we ate there we had a half-hour wait WITH a reservation!
I should start calling him Midas!
Your Nine Dragons meal looks soooo good! I was so pleasantly surprised when we ate there! It's cool that you champion some of the less popular restaurants!
We really love this place!
Tutto Italia in your pics looks fantastic. I'm annoyed with you for putting yet another restaurant onto my radar, WHEN am I ever supposed to get through this list?! I kid, I kid. We ate there in 2010 and I didn't enjoy it much, but I think I ordered wrong for my tastes. The zucchini, meatballs, and veggies look like a completely perfect meal to me! I need to learn to get creative like you and customize meals when they're not exactly how I'd want them!
I am so glad we ate there twice, and I loved the veggies both times. I have learned to ask if you dont want something or do want something different...9 out of 10 you can get it
Aaaaaand lastly, I have to laugh at your comments about how suddenly cold it is. It's FINALLY feeling like fall! I'm loving it! Don't jinx us!
You have had such a great trip! Via Napoli has never disappointed us so that will be a great way to end up!
I am impressed at your ability to document everything live! Have a safe trip home!
Awww, so sad that it is over. Looks like a fantastic trip! Really love your Tutto Italia meals. DS and I may try it in March. And I really hope that DH and I have a trip like yours down the road. Lots of relaxing and snacking! I tend to be more commando!
Safe Travels home!
Hello gorgeous! Your live report (well, I've missed most of the live part at this point, but I was actually THERE, so that counts for something right?) actually got me to log on the Dis again.
Aw shucks, you make me blush! It was so good to see you!
I just have to say that the only (and it is not insignificant) drawback about the Boardwalk resorts is the lack of food courts. When we stayed at Art of Animation, I realized how darn convienent they are, especially if they're open late. I recall one night when we were at the Beach Club and wanted dinner late and there was NOTHING. Ugh.
I totally agree with this, there needs to be more CS at the Epcot resorts. The MK resorts have nice food courts
Texas de Brazil sounds fantastic. And you probably hit it right on the head: Ohana, but better! Lol.
It is my favorite!
Really want to see Argo. It looks fantastic. And your veggie plate looks delish. I have to say that its never even crossed my mind to go to the movies while I'm at Disney, but it isn't a bad idea. I can put it on the list for next time. Its perfect for an afternoon when maybe you don't just want to nap, but don't want to go schlepping around a park, either.
Argo was great, so glad we saw that and I loved the veggies. I wish we had more time to go back and see another movie...we rarely get to the movies at home with us working all the time, usually just do the Netflix thing
I love Citrico's, but haven't been back since last February, when we had an amazing meal with incredible service from start to finish. That said, I haven't rushed back because I think I'd pobably order the exact same thing, and while that swordfish is delicious, I have a sneaking suspicion that if I tried really hard I could replicate that dish at home. Minus the triangle shaped pasta, of course. Although I suppose ziti would be a fine replacement. That's kinda my overall problem with Italian food; if I can do it at home, why bother you know?
Todd always orders the short ribs, why mess with perfection?
I had the shrimp the first time I went to Citrico's, way back in 2010. I agree that it just isn't that spectacular. Pretty bland, if you ask me.
Glad to know I am not the only one who thinks so
Breakfast at Kona looks great. I love Kona and wish I could have fit it in either of my last trips. I think I love breakfast and dinner there about equally. Sorry about the pumpkin pancakes. Don't know if this helps, but Trader Joe's makes an excellent pumpkin pancake mix that they only sell in the fall. Its wonderful!
I love Kona, pumpkin or not lol!
Double fisting the egg rolls! Love it!
He did that a few times this trip!
I had a late reservation at La Hacienda San Angel this past April and got to chatting with my adorable server. Turns out SAI, La Hacienda, and the Maya Grill are all operated by the same people. Who knew?
I never knew that, we do not like LH or SAI but love Maya, go figure!
It also seems as though food quality throughout WDW has improved in the last year or so. When went in February of 2011 with Max and my Mom, and then again that July, good meals were hard to come by. But I had fantastic meals everytime in 2012.
I know the prices sure have gone up..WOW they so expensive now!
The fried ice cream looks incredible. I love fried ice cream...and churros...and, well, anything that involves cinnamon.
He really enjoyed it
I was not able to hit any of the F+W booths on the Canada end and I was bummed...really wanted to try that spanakopita. I love it.
Oh man, Canada and Greece were our favorites
What? I don't even score a mention in your write-up of your China experience??? Ha. I also agree that rum drink was fantastic.
Oops, My bad! I will fix that tonight! Glad to have you back on the Dis!
I"m about half way through here and I need to stop for the time being. Got a hurricane to prepare for. Lol.
Be back soon, though!
I cannot believe you are going home today...it seems you just got there. But in being selfish I will say I'm glad because we are now at 39 days before we are at Disney together celebrating Mark's 60th birthday and Christmas together.
I cannot believe our man got yet another walk up. Unbelievable.
The photopass photos are great. But now, where is the picture of you with the full and/or empty beer glass????
Seriously..how does Todd do it??? I wish I had that luck!
Looks like you guys had a great time, even though it got a little chilly!
Hi, Good Morning Just want to tell you what beautiful pictures of you and
Todd such a good looking couple. Safe trip home and thanks again for your very entertaining trip report. Will be looking forward to you and Kathys in Dec. Elaine
I started reading your dinning report a few days ago, but just had time now to comment. It's been so awesome reading about the amazing meals you've have. Everything from Tutto Gusto looks amazing! I too am a huge olive fan! I defiantly want to try the eggplant caponata. In reality I kind of want to try then entire menu Have a safe trip home, i'm sorry to see the live reports end.
I love the France photo in front of the fountain! So pretty! Enjoy your last few hours!
LOVE Sci Fi Dine In review. I'll be eating there in about 40 days and I can't wait! I had heard about the fried pickles but hadn't seen or heard a review - so thanks for that as well.
And way to go with your man's magic ability to be seated anytime, anywhere! He makes me want to give it a try.
Hi Nicki,
I really enjoyed all of your reviews. I always look forward to them. They really give me my Disney food fix that I so desperately need!!! Thanks for taking your time to write all of these. Have a safe trip home and I'll be looking forward to your next trip!!

Just getting caught up! The Berry Weiss and the grapefruit beer were some of my favorites too! And we were at Epcot on Friday and DHS on Saturday, too!
do you remmeber what the name of that grapefruit beer was?
yep thats it, i found my picture of the germany beer stand and after schoefferhofer, it says grapefruit.I don't know what Nicki had, but Germany makes a wonderful grapefruit/wheat beer blend called Schoefferhofer. YUM!
Thanks for doing this live report! ^.^ I love reading about Disney trips. They always give me a smile and a memory to recall. I appreciate your willingness to take time out of your vacation to brag about (I mean share!) your dining adventures
Oh I've soooo enjoyed reading your reviews! (not quite done yet but almost!)
You have me totally drooling about the TG wine cellar selections! I added that to our list for January!
I really love what a great sport your DH is! It's so fun to see all of your cute pics of him making crazy food faces and reading about his antics.
Even with alllll the trips we've made I've never done a dining report but I love reading them! Every trip I promise myself that "this time" I will. Maybe January will be the magic trip.
Can't wait to hear how your Christmas trip goes!
