Mmm, I love to eat too!! That Flippers pizza looked so good. But, that garlic bread. Looks mmm mmm good. :eek: :worship:
 
Oh forgot to mention the number to call for this loaction to order delivery is 407-938-9633.
 
That pizza and calzone looks awesome! Why do I read these reports in the middle of the night at work when I am hungry ? Arghhhh I cannot wait to get my hands on a Dole float though. I miss those, we have tried to make them at home but never succeed.
 
Day 10
Earl of Sandwich Redux

This is the fun part of the trip. Jason's mom and step dad joined us for a few days. They had never been to the world so this was exciting. They drove down and unfortunately didn't get there until about one in the morning. They were hungry but nothing was really open so we wound up at Steak n Shake. No pictures for that.

The next day we went to Downtown Disney. We loved Earl of Sandwich so we had to take them. They loved it too! This is a great place to hit in the World, and the value is impressive here.

I got the broccoli cheese soup and a grilled cheese sandwich. Both were YUM!

Jason and his step dad had the Jerk Chicken. It’s got lots of yucky stuff. (I loved this sandwich, but I’d still say the peanut butter and jelly is better.)

Jason’s mom had an Asian Chicken salad. I don’t do salads, but she seemed to like it.

Whispering Canyon Café

Sorry for the brief layoff, we took a short trip for Valentine’s Day. It was fun, we’re in love, Ahhhhh! Back to the food!

Jason and I went to Whispering Canyon Café for my birthday two years ago and loved it! (Yeah she’s lucky and gets her birthdays off peak. My birthday coincides with spring break and/or Easter, so no luck for me.) We had to bring his mom and step dad here, because we knew they’d love it too.

Now I am not a big meat eater. Give me some broccoli and cheese and that’s a meal, but this place has the best meat in the World. If I like it, you know it’s good. (Now me, I’m a carnivore, and I rate this place the best meal on property. The food is outstanding.)

They do have a menu, but I don’t know why you’d order anything but the skillet. Here’s the menu:

Disney2008vol2110.jpg


What are you gonna get, vegetable enchiladas? No way. Now check this food out. We first selected this restaurant based entirely on food porn pics, so we figure it’s our duty to share the love with others. (If this is your first time, you’ll be in for a treat.)

The first skillet, with the cornbread and salad:
Disney2008vol2111.jpg


Now as you all know I don’t do salad. I will say this is good cornbread but will let my husband join in. (Cornbread is one of my four food groups. I love the stuff but only when it’s done right. This place does is right. It’s nice and moist and keeps you wanting more.)

(I flew through my first soda, and so did Cathy. Well we both paid for it, but I made out. The waiter said the big guy needs a big drink):

(He delivered. Cathy asked for a diet, so she got the diet size):

(A better shot of just how big my drink was):

(Notice the onlookers oogling my drink. For the rest of the meal, I tried to drink it all so he'd have to refill it. I couldn't do it. This was very fun and we really enjoyed all the antics here. Luckily, Cathy did get a normal sized drink a bit later.)

Now it’s time for the main event. Here she is, the mighty skillet:
Disney2008vol2117.jpg


Wow! Jason and I knew what to expect and we were still impressed. Jason’s mom and step dad were blown away. Everything here was good. You have roast chicken, good. Pork, good. Ribs, good. Shrimp, yuck, don’t do shrimp. (The ribs and shrimp stand out for me as the best) They got rid of the sausage for shrimp. I loved that sausage and now I have to deal with yucky shrimp! (The sausage was better then anything on this platter. Still, it’s all good.) Corn, good. Under the corn, mashed potatoes, good. The beans are only alright.

This meal was fabulous. Probably the best meal on our trip. It’s not a trip to Disney World without this restaurant. (I agree.)
 
Okay, so I was planning on getting this skillet for myself on our upcoming trip. Is this for one? two? 24? That thing is HUGE!!! There is NO WAY on this green earth that I will be able to eat all of that. Will my family be able to eat some things off of this thing?
 
love, love, loving the reviews... thanks for sharing...

and if dh/i ever go to wdw sans kids, we want to go with you two! :)
(just a note, we're also pooh-sized, and could easily share clothes... and i, too, make matching tee shirts for every day!)

The skillet pictured was for four. There is a smaller skillet that just has less of everything on it. Something to keep in mind is that this is all you care to eat, so I doubt they encourage sharing. We did get some more ribs and shrimp, so we ate even more than was pictured here.
 
Really enjoying all your reviews and am happy I got caught up!! Looking forward to more!!
 
Day 11
Rainforest Café Animal Kingdom

We know a lot of people say bad things about Rainforest Café, but we love it! We’ve been to the one at Downtown Disney, the one at the MGM Hotel in Las Vegas, and now this one. We love them all. We get into the insane touristy places like this. All the animals and the thunderstorm, yes please give us more. (I can not wait to get to the T-Rex restaurant. This was a month before they opened and you could tell they were close. It looks sooooo cool.)

As a little background, this is at Animal Kingdom, and Jason’s mom had just gone on Expedition Everest. She’s extremely susceptible to motion sickness. However, Jason is too, but he loves this ride. It was the first roller coaster he’d ever been on. We thought she could handle it, but she really can’t handle going backwards. She was very sick as we went to eat. Apparently, sucking on a pickle helps so we kept getting her pickles. They seemed to help some. (So did getting sick in the restroom.)

There’s not much food here. Jason’s mom didn’t get anything and we shared a pizza. From other people’s pictures this looked really good, and we thought it’d be a cheap meal. Well, it’s nothing special. It wasn’t’ bad, it just wasn’t good. (I want to say that I love their food here. The paella is good and their ribs are awesome. This just wasn’t up to par.) Here’s the picture:

Jason’s step dad got a burger:

And his mom had the pickle:

We then decided to splurge on dessert. We had always wanted to try this and finally gave in. It’s really good but really expensive.
Disney2008vol2201.jpg


Yeah, that’s good stuff.

We still love this place though. The atmosphere was great as always. (I think the one at Downtown Disney was better.)
 
Beaches and Cream part 2

Wow this place stays busy, even late. We were there around 10 and had to wait about 20 minutes for a table. Even then we wound up eating at the counter. (Does Disney think this'll lose it's charm if they expand it?) Oh well, it's definitely worth it. We wanted to show Jason's mom and stepdad how cool this place was.

We split a meal again, but this time went for the hot dog. It's really good! (Why don't more places do bacon on a dog? It works baby!) They do use real cheese instead of a cheese sauce, boo. Jason also tried the onion rings, yuck on onions. (They're good, nothing special. Regular onion rings.)

Jason's mom and stepdad split the cheesesteak. (It looked nice and big, even split) They liked it:

The dog and onion rings:

My share, I wasn't that hungry. If I was, I'd say split the burger instead:
Disney2008vol2258.jpg


Now on to the main course. Everyone knows why you come here. ICE CREAM!

They got the Milky Way:
Disney2008vol2259.jpg


We went with the No Way Jose. It's by far the best sundae here.
Disney2008vol2260.jpg


Oh man, this is the number one must do for us. This place rocks, and everything is fantastic.
 
Great review! Is that bacon on the hot dog ? I am resisting all temptation to go to Beaches and Cream but the No Way Jose is really working on me. We have all the meals lined up but I am trying to think of a way to squeze an ice cream run in there. Did I read somewhere that this is close to Epcot ? Maybe we can sneak over on an Epcot day.
