Mare, we just ate that gingerbread man and it was so moist and soft and wonderful, very fresh..nothing like the one I had a Germany this past March. Make sure you get a few of them for your son, he will probably inhale them like we did
I'll pack some Ziplocks!
Hey Nicki, any interest in Paradiso 37? Their menu looks good
It opens today. So far they don't accept TiW or DDP.

Well you can thank DH for that, he was sitting outside on the cell phone and I wandered in
There are a ton of umbrella tables and chairs right outside Starring Rollso man i could not wait to finish reading your review of california grill so i could comment on it! You ordered my 3 favorie things from there, the pork the beef and that chocolate piece of heaven!!!Omg i love it all, i wish you liked the teryaki sauce a little more when i had it last august it wasnt really smokey, maybe they cook it a little different now? I am so glad you liked it!!
o and that goat cheese polenta....holy crap don't get me started
ETA- i totally hear you on the bread thing, my boyfriend always makes fun of me for having a clean plate at the end of every meal. I can' help but finish everything with a piece of bread lol. I'm only half italian but my mom is full and man she taught me well.
i'm sorry i'm writing a novel on your thread but, next time you go to the cali grill order the sonoma goat cheese ravioli and try the bread in that sauce, you will be hooked!
You can count us as Cali Grill lovers! I could eat a huge plate of that polenta it was incredible. I am a bit bummed about the bread at Tonys tonight, the last time we ate there the bread was terrible and recent reviews have complained about the bread too....hope its better this time!
Oh shucks! I think the cupcakes were a snack credit....have you ever been to Cali Grill? If not you should try it!
You are welcome, thanks so much for reading them! When are you going in Oct? Cannot go wrong with Cali Grill!
Fultons is the best but on an AK day I would go to Jiko, the food there was amazing. Flying Fish is awesome too, we are going there on Tuesday night.
We did Tonys in March and really enjoyed it, DH requested it for this trip.
Coming up late tonight!

That is great! DH gets the king claws and I get the fried lobster tail, not on the menu but they will make it for you...the best ever!
This is the chick that got us hooked on Fultons!
I'll pack some Ziplocks!

Good idea! Thanks for the menu link, I totally forgot about this place...maybe it will be our arrival dinner for our next trip. The menu looks pretty fun!

I totally know what you mean! We have stayed at all the resorts except SSR and GF and I think this one is our most relaxing resort yet. We spent the day at the pool and had a great time...you will love this place!
I wish I could order one of everything!
Wonder if they will give me the recipe so I can make it at home!

Hi everyone! We are back in the room after a day at the pool...and we need some nap time, the sun just zaps your energy...well DH's energy I am still hyper and ready to go
We had breakfast at the food court again, it was a bit busier than yesterday but we did arrive earlier than yesterday too so that may have something to do with it. I went to get a bagel and a cinnamon bun and DH was to get his stuff and I requested a plate of eggs.
They were sold out of bagels
so I got a croissant instead. It was very very greasy but still good...just too greasy for me to get another one.
And remember that I wanted JUST eggs? He doesnt listen to me all the time and got me sausage, which I do love but cannot eat it every day or my fingers will swell like little sausages! The eggs were not as dry as yesterday, much better this morning! Sausages were good too, had to eat them as DH doesnt like them (but he likes sausage gravy go figure)
More fruit, I just love fruit and eat it all the time. Again it was cold, fresh and sooo sweet!
Another cinnamon bun and I actually had more than one bite this time, I was allowed 2!
It was warm and sweet and sticky and perfect, loaded with cinnamon too!
DH had the King Creole platter again but with all bacon, the bacon was crispy and not greasy, the potatoes were better than yesterday and he ate the biscuit with butter and jelly...I was surprised that he skipped the gravy..but there is always tomorrow!
We used our mugs for Nescape for DH and ice tea for me...the ice tea is awesome...very fresh! There are a ton of guests using old POR mugs, other resort mugs and such but we are using our 2009 mugs that we bought in March...hey at least our mugs are the current ones! Not one CM is commenting on the out of date mugs either....not saying it is right, wrong or whatever but I am just letting you know what I am seeing.
Saw lots of people checking out this morning, it was a gorgeous sunny day with a nice breeze...perfect for the pool! Tons of empty pool chairs, hardly anyone in the pool, the hot tub was closed this morning but opened at noon. We stayed out for a while, DH napped and I read a book..we had a great relaxing day. When the bar opened I went and got us these little treats, TIW is not accepted at this pool bar.
Here is a strawberry/mango with Bacardi frozen treat...it was great, nice and smooth, not gritty and not too strong, I would have preferred more rum but it was still good.
And this is the Fusion Lemonade with citrus rum, XFusion and minute maid lemonade and I think a splash of Sprite...OH JEEZ this was great! DH hogged the first one so I had to go back and get another...much more refreshing than the other drink, I could suck these puppies back all night long!
Someones belly starting rumbling so we decided to get lunch and go back to the room for a nap before heading out to MK. DH ordered another taco salad, beef one again, but this CM was super generous on the fillings so it was twice the size as the one last night, but it was still awesome! Very good food at this place!
He also had a chocolate chip cookie...he said it was terrible! Too greasy and had no flavor at all...I took his word for it because I could see the grease all over the napkin and his fingers...BLECH!
I opted for the hot muffaletta....this was wonderful. A generous amount of salty salami, ham and provolone with the olive spread on it. It was a nice salty though, like an Italian hoagie or something, The bread was soft and chewy and tasty and not prepackaged tasting at all...I would get this again in a heartbeat. It is a huge portion and I could only eat half, have no fear Todd stepped up and ate the rest.
You get a choice of homemade chips or pasta salad and I had the pasta salad...this was so fresh and clean and light tasting I wish I had a huge plate of it...chick peas, tender pasta, onions and cucumbers in a very light, almost Italian dressing like, marinade and it was so light you could not even see it on the pasta but one bite and the flavors just burst in your mouth....Poor DH he just had the one bite.....PAYBACK PAL, PAYBACK!

Great report so far, Nicki! I'm looking forward to reading the rest of your reviews.
Fyi, when we stayed at POFQ back in 2000, you could get your pool bar drinks with a "floater" on top for like $1. The "floater" is an extra shot of booze. Don't know if they're still doing that, but if you like a stronger drink, try asking for it.

Ohhhh....I am so ready to be back at FQ...or CSR...or GF.....I'm not picky.
The food looks so yummy - you do take the best food pics!
So, pretty sure I'll be sorry I asked (b/c I just know it'll be one of those DUH why didn't I know that, but what does TIW stand for, please?
Sometimes the pools bar drink seem rather weak to me too - based on that I ordered something especially yummy with rum at BWV a couple of years ago and was sick all day b/c I expected it to be weak and had not had lunch first.
Is tonight Tony's? Oh, boy!! Yummy!!
