Another amazing looking dish!
Those pictures were revolting....how did you even put one bite of that schlop in your mouths???
Poor old guy! How is he doing now?
Gorgeous pictures!
Mmmmm, not sure but she looks exactly like Jason here.
Gewurztraminer?
Now that looks like a phenomenal dinner from start to finish!
Although I've tried to eat there every trip, I guess we are just too tired from the parks for such fanciness. Sigh . . maybe next time! 
This was always a favorite breakfast! At least you didn't tell me Tonga Toast had gone bad. Mike is disappointed with your review of the Samoan. He liked it as well. I guess I will just have to get my Tonga on at Captain Cook's
. Have you ever tried De Toren wine there? It is a wonderful red that you can only find at Jiko in North America. It is my favorite. The mac n' cheese looks outta this world. I usually only like basic mac n' cheese, but my tummy is rumbling just hearing about it and looking at the photo. 
Do you enter them on your phone? They look suspiciously like my sober notes after autocorrect gets to them! I live your tipsy reports, as I spend much of my time at Disney in a tipsy state.
. Now tipsy olive garden I'm pretty sure we could make into an internet sensation
)
Ya clean up well, luckily for Casey so she doesn't have to be embarrassed
I don't remember seeing him but we had an awesome server too! Not Rony awesome but pretty close. Of course I can't remember her name either
Oooh I shaded the filet when we went and it was also perfect Cooke with potatoes big
Ah.....I could compare this to a few things, but will refrain
But we forgot to try this! We had apps and were so excited for those and the entrees my mind just blanked on this/ For next time definitely
Congrats on prettying yourself? Shading the filet? Not falling out of your chair?
Hey! That picture is taken right across form the room my family stayed in on our 2010 trip. I'm pretty sure I have pictures in exactly the same spot.We sipped on some wine and prettied ourselves before ubering from Caribbean Beach to Animal Kingdom Lodge. We even stopped to take some photos along the way.
My 12 year old is still working on her knife skills.
I wonder if they were going with a "fresh lion kill" theme? It does looks good none the less.
It looks great and although I've never had it, I've heard good things. I think I even saw a recipe for it somewhere. But I usually find those online recipes for Disney meals are a bit off. The few I've tried to do never seem quite right. But any place that can make bugs and toes tasty must be good.
You should definitely try it. Its certainly under the radar compared to other signatures but in no way should it be.
That sounds like so much fun!!!!
WOOHOO!!!!! We should be there just about the same time so we can FINALLY meet. Right now we're at Coronado from the 1st through 9th. Hoping to switch to at least CBR to be closer to Epcot but they didn't have any military rates open.
Cause i know you have all the plans already
Always glad to have my Miller Lite sister along for the ride! We definitely had some sleepless nights and I even had plane tickets at one point, but thankfully it all worked out.I'm 8 pages late to the party, but so glad to be here
Yup!!!!!!!!! Elephants, giraffes, and Miller Lite. What more does an American girl abroad need?
It so was. Things are (mostly) smooth sailing from here but we'll have a few misfires.Well, it's nice to hear that your faith in Disney Dining was restored after this meal
And lucky you got to try and decipher tipsy me in personOrrrr...something like that.
As always, your tipsy notes are a delight to try to decipher!
Yeah the blood smear was a bit much,but this was certainly some of the best presentations and quality we've ever seen from Disney.They really go all out when presenting the food. I didn't care for the smear that looked like blood. But the dessert that Jason had was very cute. It doesn't look like something that I would want to eat, though. A nice hot fudge sundae is more my style.
Glad I could indulge you. I definitely enjoy the tipsiness more but the notes are fun too
You don't, but they really do help don't they
He really is great and definitely worth asking for if you are there. Jason's was by far the worst and I would't even touch it. How he ate it is beyond me.
He's up and down and slowing down considerably but we're hoping he can at least make it through the holidays. He's almost 12 and a breed that usually lives 8-10 years so he's doing great considering.
She is definitely his little mini-me. Figures I do all the work to bring her into the world and she's all him
I cannot believe you've been so close and haven't been there. Next time you at least need to go to their lounge and have a drink and an appetizer. That should lure you back for a full meal!Fantastic tipsy notes!! Hooray for Jiko turning things around so you could use all your Forkys! True fact - we almost always stay at AKL and still haven't made it to Jiko.
It used to be one of our favorites too, but not sure we'll ever be back again. I don't like sweets in the morning so never do the Tonga Toast, but Captain Cooks is likely your better bet as even if it is disappointing you've spent considerably less.I am so sad about Kina Cafe!
I haven't had it there, but Yachtsmen has the same wine and you are right about how good it is. Its our go to there. Somehow I missed it on the Jiko menu.Jiko is DA BOMB
I do. I usually do it when we are on a bus or an uber headed back from a restaurant or park so I'm in a hurry and when tipsy pay no attention to anything. I write it in notes so I don't think it has autocorrect or maybe that is really to blame and not meYour tipsy notes crack me up!
That is too funny!!!!!! You may have been to Olive Garden since me. I'm pretty sure I've been a handful of times but have no discernible memory of it except for the breadsticks which I consumed in the exact same fashion as your soup.I’ve only been to Olive Garden once (1st trip to USA in 1993) and I ordered soup alongside my meal. I didn’t blimin like it but good manners (and my upbringing where wasting good food was a sin) made me eat it. Well every time I finished that flipping soup they refilled the bowl!! I swear I waddled out of there that night lol. It was the first of many refills that trip ( soft drinks, soup, bread rolls-why oh why is it never free wine
Yes this meal was so needed on so many fronts.Glad Jiko broke the trend and that you had a fab meal there. So sorry to hear about your mum. Never easy no matter what stage of life we’re at but I’m so glad the meal and wine helped mark her birthday in a happy way. Casey looks so chuffed with her drink and is a perfect dining companion
It really was so yummy. i dream of that mac and cheese.
You did and I have no idea why you waited so long either. Its definitely in our top signature spot there days.
We at least clean-up so we can embarrass her in so many other ways
We've always had impeccable service there. I think our guy is the Jiko version of Rony and he does all of the training for the restaurant so it is always wonderful.I don't remember seeing him but we had an awesome server too! Not Rony awesome but pretty close. Of course I can't remember her name either
Your a filet shader too???? I knew I liked you.Oooh I shaded the filet when we went and it was also perfect Cooke with potatoes big
Ah.....I could compare this to a few things, but will refrain
Oddly my brain hadn't even gone there. Until now. Thanks for that.I remember you forgot to get it too. Its worth skipping apps for. Mac and Geese perfection
Really just the last one. Its a daily accomplishment I strive for but don't always achieve
Too funny. We were on the second floor in building 31 I think. It was a great location right by the water and not too far from the pool or restaurants.
I was probably 20 something before I finally learned how to use one. My mother insisted on cutting everything for me so I never learned. Didn't want Casey to be in the same boat
I've tried the same thing and haven't had any luck. I think its all the pixie dust they are putting in the food that makes it so good. And the
and
of course
Me either. On a bright and sunny day we figured it would be smooth sailing but then birds and drunks hold us up.
Sounds like the perfect time to go to me! So jealous you have one nearby
I know, right???? But when you can lug a massive lap top to a restaurant so the entire place can see what you are doing, I mean why not
You should most definitely go. Hands down our favorite place on property
I'm sorry to hear that the bases have gone downhill. We only ate there once but I really liked my bowl. I had fish and it was very good but that was during the passholder preview, which was a few years ago.
I am terrible at the drawing classes but still like to do them.
Did Casey's henna tattoo wash off?
Hey we sat next to you there
Too bad there were a huge bust for you guys.
It looks good but next time you are in AK you definitely need to head to Creature Comforts for the yummy cinnamon roll.No clue what this was or where we got it from, but my notes say it similar to the cat tail and it had good chocolate flavor in a light and crispy crust. So success I guess.
Awesome lion shots!
I am looking forward to eating there in three weeks!
They don't have the hash anymore?? That was a bad decision on their part.
You mean there's somewhere at Disney where you haven't eaten?????
