I'm a cream cheese fan only. I'm a wuss when it comes to spices and stuff so jalapeno is too daring for me!

They are great...you should try both! I think there is an apple cinnamon one at DHS too.
You must! They are delicious, especially when they are hot!
It's really the best part, maybe I should ask if I can just get bread next time?

For dinner on my first night I decided to venture to the Polynesian. I took a pleasant boat ride from MK stopping first at the Grand Floridian and then the Poly. Captain Cooks is off kind of in a corner, you'd almost have to know it was there (or look for the signs!) I find it interesting how less prominent the food courts become as you go from a Value resort to a Deluxe resort.
There was nobody in line so I went right to one of the ordering kiosks. I made my selections and then paid. They give you a buzzer and it goes off when your food is ready. I found a table inside because it was kind of chilly to be sitting outdoors. I was glad I did because not too much time later it started to pour! People were running in for cover.
I got the Aloha Pork Sandwich with Poly Chips
The sandwich was quite good - better than I was anticipating actually. There is an Asian slaw on the sandwich with pineapple and tomatoes and I think maybe cucumber? The bread was soft which is always a plus. None of the flavors were overpowering and it was a nice combination all together. The chips were those sweet potato chips with other tuber type things (maybe Yuca and Taro?). They tasted like Kettle chips - not very crispy but still good.

After waking up and getting ready for the day, I walked over to Everything Pop. It was pretty empty and I had no wait at the waffle line.
I got a Pop Waffle with Bacon. The bacon was cold and lifeless, I think I finished it but only after a thorough dipping in syrup. The waffle on the other hand was warm and crisp. I love crisp waffles and find that they can be hard to come by. We have a waffle station at work on Tuesday and Thursday but the waffles are always mushy and taste like batter. This one was very good and I was glad I made a good choice.
I also filled my refillable mug with coffee which I proceeded to spill on myself. Thanks to Shout Wipes I didn't have to change my clothes before leaving for the parks!
I saved $1.14 with Tables in Wonderland on this meal.
My day was spent doing the Backstage Magic tour so lunch was at Whispering Canyon Cafe. I didn't get any pictures since lunch was served family style to our tour group and people dug in as soon as the food hit the table.
We had Pork Ribs, Pork Sausage and Chicken which was also served with corn on the cob, mashed potatoes, coleslaw and cornbread.
The cornbread was good although it was kind of on the dry side. I slathered it in butter and all was right with the world. The coleslaw had almost no dressing and you could see celery salt everywhere. I like my coleslaw to have taken a big bath in mayo before it hits my table. The mashed potatoes were good, but nothing special.
The meats were another story altogether - I didn't enjoy them much at all. The ribs were dry and fatty and I didn't find the spare side of BBQ sauce until after I was full. The sausage was not to my liking. I'm glad I only took one small piece. It was too crispy on the outside and too mushy on the inside so it snapped when you bit into it...too weird for my texture issue self. The chicken I did not try due to an issue I have with eating chicken. I don't have a full fledged allergy diagnosis, but it makes me feel weird enough that I avoid eating it in most situations.
For dessert we had a fruit cobbler with ice cream. That was by far the best part of the meal. There was peaches, maybe berries or cherries or something baked in a pastry with vanilla ice cream. I think everybody at the table enjoyed it.
The biggest reason to go to WCC is the waitstaff and they did not disappoint. MT was our main waitress and she was LOUD and obnoxious and pretty funny. She did a really good job though. If I had eaten there on my own rather than as part of the tour group she would have received a good tip.
I don't think I'll rule out going back to WCC but I won't be getting the skillet.
Oh, and if you are counting - this day makes 4 meals in a row that included Pork and there is more to come!

I totally agree with you on the WCC thing...we ate lunch there in Aug and it was horrible....the meats were so fatty and greasy and just plain unedible. The corn bread was the saving grace of the meal, it was moist and wonderful and we ate our weight in it...we will not be going back to WCC anymore

I had big plans for dinner - being that it was my first night at Epcot, I had only one logical choice - F&W Booths! I first got one of those nifty wrist band gift cards from the Welcome Center. They really make it easy for you to spend money. The only thing I disliked about the cards is that the wrist band itself is sooo small. I have tiny wrists, like abnormally tiny, and the wrist band left marks each time I wore it. I can't imagine even a normal sized man wearing one without pain.
Since I was coming from the Welcome Center I started my dining foray on the Mexico side.
My first snack came from Mexico City, Mexico - Taco de Conchinita Pibil or Corn Tortilla Filled with Shredded Pork and Purple Onions.
It was a little on the spicy side and I am super spice sensitive (I find mild salsa hot
). The onions were a nice touch though.
Next up came Krakow, Poland - Kielbasa and Potato Pierogie with Caramelized Onions and Sour Cream
There was both good and bad with this snack. The kielbasa was cold and kind of mushy on the inside. The pierogie on the other hand was warm and cooked perfectly. I like the combination of the onions and the sour cream. I don't usually eat my pierogies with sour cream, but I might have to change that going forward.
I think it was at this point that I realized that I needed something to drink. I am not a wine drinker and there were no alcoholic beverages calling my name that night so I got a Sprite before moving on.
Next was Cape Town, South Africa - Seared Beef Tenderloin with Sweet Potato Puree and Mango Barbecue Sauce
This was disappointing. The tenderloin was overcooked, but it was edible. I understand that Disney has to cook the beef more than I would like because they have a wider audience to please, but it would be nice if you could be given an option of a rarer piece of meat. The sweet potato puree was funky. I'm guessing there was banana mixed in with the sweet potatoes because there was no way I was eating just sweet potato. I make sweet potatoes at home all the time and they taste nothing like what I was eating. The Mango BBQ sauce was the standout. It was tangy and didn't have an overpowering Mango taste. If you covered everything in the sauce it all ended up to be somewhat edible.
The Hops and Barley market always had the longest line of any food booth when I was in Epcot and I quickly realized why - Boston Style Crab Cake with Cabbage Slaw and Remoulade.
The crab cake itself was full of crab and not a ton of filler. The slaw on it's own was very acidic, but when you took a bite of all three components they paired really well. This ended up being my favorite F&W sample that I tried the whole trip.
Last and least was Paris, France - Chocolate Milk Creme Brulee.
Sigh...I did not enjoy this. It wasn't a bad taste, but I guess I have never had creme brulee before. Sometimes at home I will mix cool whip and chocolate pudding together for a dessert. That's what this tasted like. The sugar crust on top was entirely unnecessary and more than anything served as a distraction from the bland taste and texture of the custard underneath. Boo to creme brulee, I won't be going back for more!

I had this exact same problem...and I have ridiculously small wrists, too! I spent the whole time thinking I'd stupidly not noticed they offered different sizes, and had gotten the child's size small, or something.

That's too bad about WCC. I've looked at the menu a few times, but nothing has ever really jumped out at me. I'm not in any rush to get over there to eat.

Have to agree on WCC. I thought it was awful (as was the service) and my DH got sick on the ribs/chicken (and we know it was that as I was so disgusted with all of the other food, that I never touched the ribs/chicken).
