If this review is wrapping up....uh..... When does the next one start? Please tell me I won't be without dinning (or dining) reviews from Brenda to look forward to for too long!
Oh man, that sundae looks amazing!!!
I'm sad that your report is coming to a close --- but I suppose one can only eat so much
The Plaza is a favourite of ours also. Their 'fries' are good but they are not a patch on 'chip shop chips' over here. They do make a nice change from the generic skinny fries found pretty much everywhere else though.
I love a good banana split and, like Em, I would have left off the pineapple topping. My youngest daughter, Rhiannon, can also tie a cherry stem into a knot in her mouth - clever clogs
Yum! The Plaza is such a gem at the MK. Table service dining for QS prices with the TIW card.

Long time no commenting on my part, Brenda . I have missed reading your reviews these past two months!
I absolutely love those fries at the Plaza. I have no clue what they do to them but they need to replicate it elsewhere in the park.
Going to catch up now .
Sadly, I haven't been to the Plaza since 2006. Somehow it just fell off my Disney Dining radar , but then your many great Plaza reviews came along and caught my interest in this place once again. For the last couple of trips I have scheduled lunch at the Plaza but for various reasons I never made it there. Reading your latest review has me again kicking myself for not making it happen. So, as God is my witness, I am determined to have lunch at the Plaza on my next trip! That burger, fries, and banana split are soooo mine! (Though I will probably be dining there solo and won't be able to finish any of them, I'm going to give it my best shot!)
We've only been to the Plaza once before Brenda and we loved it. I have no idea why we have never made it back!
I'll be in WDW at the same time as Joh - I feel another meet coming on
Barb, a) if you are travelling solo you would be more than welcome to join our group whenever/if ever you would like and b) I would happily have lunch with you at the Plaza and share a banana split with you (as long as we can 'hold' the pineapple topping)
I couldn't remember the dates you were actually at WDW (in between cruises and Universal ) when I messaged Brenda earlier but I thought it was the 27th you arrived
I would love if we can arrange some meets - I know we have already toyed with the idea of a slushy meet at Epcot (which I absolutely think we should do now they have introduced the supersize slushy)
Yep, we get into WDW on the 27th and would never miss a slushie meet
Crystal Palace looks so yummy! I have been there a few times before and have never had the breakfast lasagna or poohs puff toast. I know right?... Anyway I think this will be a must do on our next trip in September.
All of your reviews have been fabulous! Thanks for sharing all the awesome photos and your reviews!
Can't wait to read more!
Actually my next trip to the World is a solo birthday trip in late April/early May. (My husband was right, I couldn't wait until October. ) Lucky for me though, Brenda & Michael and Paula & Hunter have taken me under their wings and I'll be joining them most every night for dinner. I will though probably be doing some solo meals, such as lunch at the Plaza.
But I am definitely still in for October! As of now, I've booked a room for Oct. 23 - Nov. 4 but will probably end up going for only 7 - 10 days (at the most) since again I will most likely be going solo. There is a slight chance my husband might join me for a few days at the end of my trip, but he won't know until pretty much the last minute. So anyway I'm up for any or all DISmeets. Whether it be slushies in France, Afternoon Tea, lunch at the Plaza, dinner at Citricos/Cali Grill, noshing at the Swan & Dolphin F & W Classic or all of the above ...count me in!
What a lovely way to end your dining at WDW. The burger and fries look lovely and although I don't like bananas the split looks delicious too
Sad here too the report is coming to a close! I'm going to have to track back and look through it all again. Your trip makes me so happy! Also as a mom to much littler ones, it inspires me to do fun things and trips together as they get older. Thanks for sharing your special trip with us!

Hi Brenda! Looks like I managed to fall behind again .
Wow! The Crews Cup menu really has some nice and varied selections. What a nice option!
Whoa - the IllumiNations cruise looks amazing. How does one go about booking that? I think that would be something we could really enjoy during a trip overwhelmed with crowds - something we wouldnt have to wait in line for. Hmm, maybe with two people it wouldnt be doable?
Nice job with the buffet pictures at CP! Im impressed! I am never able to do that. Isnt CP so fun? We really enjoyed it in August too.
We are definitely going to have to give in and try the Plaza - it always gets such good reviews. And I have to say that there is something to be said for food that is simple BUT GOOD! The burger and fries look so yummy, and you cant go wrong with ice cream desserts!
I cant believe the DR is almost over. Surely you can start a DR of DLR meals that can just be ongoing forever, right?????
Oh, and we are locked in for our summer road trip to DLR. We will definitely be back in August. I will let you know our exact dates as they get nearer - maybe we will be able to meet up with you and Em one day!
Brenda, as you know, The Plaza is always our last meal of our "twosome" trip. We just love the simple food, the friendly staff and, of course, the desserts.
I would have to order fries on the side too if we were splitting and Mark wanted chips. The Plaza fries are definitely the best in all of DW as you said; but I do like their chips too.
And I would have given you my cherries AND bananas...I don't like either.
Loved reading this DR! Now I'm really looking forward to Shula's on our next visit!
Thanks for all of your reviews, Brenda!! Looking forward to your wrap up!
What? No bananas or cherries? So I guess a banana split is not your thing. I don't think you'd turn down a turtle krawl!
No, I'm not a banana split girl. I am definitely a Hot Fudge Sundae (hold the whip cream and cherry and give me EXTRA fudge) type of girl.
And, no, I would never turn down a turtle krawl.
I'm going to email you from work this week before we leave on Saturday to discuss doing the cruise and stuff (I get to make ADR's on the 22nd or 23rd..after we are back).
Oooh...the sandwich looks quite yummy.
We don't get cookies on our Southwest flights. Maybe our flights are too short.
How very sweet of you to offer drinks to the first three people who ordered. And then to have the flight attendant turn around and give you and those three people drinks.
And thanks to that flight attendant and you my husband and I were able to use those free drink coupons on our swa flight!!
I don't know that I have ever gotten swa cookies either?!? It's usually Pretzels or Peanuts on the shorter flights and a snack assortment on the longer ones (oreo's, cheesy ritz, etc)
You probably flew right over our house going from DEN to SNA!
Time to play catch up! I'm starting here around lunch because apparently I want to make myself more hungry than I already am.
I'm a sucker for onion appetizers! That one sure looked good!
Buffet character breakfasts are the best!! You work off the carbs by standing to meet characters (not to mention walking to get food)! The CP is one of my favorites!
The plaza looks so cute. Great idea to go to a place where you know you will be leaving the parks for a while with a happy tummy. I've never been lead astray with a disney burger. It's comfort food for the disney parks!
Yay for sandwiches! Isn't Denver's airport so nice? It's so shiny & new!
GAH!!! So depressing to see this DR coming to an end. You MUST return to WDW immediately and eat some more!
What an amazing flight attendant you had. Very cool!
CP looks so good. We were talking the other day we need to go back. That little girl we encountered there turned us off to it.
Love the character shots.
The banana split looked good.
Those airplane cookies are adorable.
Love free drinks. Jetblue flight attendant bought me one too once.
I'm aiming for the last week of October with Em and another DIS friend (Camille.) We definitely need at least an afternoon tea or dinner or two.
