Oh the Tragedy! No Ooey Gooey Toffee Cake this time! Updates x 5 9/30

[jabead]

Having seeing your review and photos from Boma, I'm now regretting my decision to not join you guys there for breakfast. I guess it's time to look at my dining schedule again for October to see where I might be able to fit this one in.

I hope you and Em have a fantastic girls trip! I'll look forward to seeing live updates on Facebook this time.

Wonderful updates, Brenda.

I loved Paula's "surprise anniversary cake."

I'm glad that you enjoyed Boma again with your son and his girlfriend. Surprisly, Mark did not have me book that this trip.

LOVE Chefs de France. I enjoy that soup every visit and I always get the sandwich Michael had. Glad they replaced your meal with a fresh and hot one.

Flying Fish...wow! They compped your whole meal? Very nice! I've read good reviews and some not so good reviews lately. I've cancelled our ADR and think I will keep it cancelled until a few years down the road after Mark gets situated.

I hope you and Em have a great time.

Have a great trip Brenda. Who will be doing your next report, you or Emmy?

I love Boma breakfast. I'm willing to try to work it into October if you are Barb.

that tuna looks awesome. I wonder how it compares to my favorite tuna at Bluezoo? really proud of you for trying.

So excited to see your Boma Breakfast - my favourite breakfast in the World ....not just the World. Hope to be there two weeks today

What a fabulous anniversary dinner and such a gorgeous cake ... So nice your son and his girlfriend could join you if even for a day : ) We have California Grill reservations for our upcoming trip and looking forward to dining there again since it's been years.
Your Boma family breakfast looked great except the pap is not for me since it looks like plain grits, was it grit like? My husbands from South Carolina so I'm sure he would love it! We are staying 10 days at AKL CL and then 4 days GF RP in November so I'm sure will be trying breakfast at Boma one of the mornings since CL breakfast offerings get old quickly for me personally.
Love all the hi hi hi, hugs, kisses and wine from Le Chef manager ... The guys expressions on their faces were simply priceless lol yeah nobody can charm like those French Men! I'm a big fan of French food and we have a wonderful restaurant in Utah La Caille so I'm always comparing any French restaurant to my favorite. Plus my youngest daughters wedding and reception was there so it's a love relationship with La Caille for food and gorgeous grounds ( amazing )
Your meal looked delicious at flying fish let just hope they toss some salt or garlic in the bread mixture before baking next time for your Mother daughter trip. Getting the meal comp. was a bit over the top compensation, but I'd consider it pixie dust for all the positive dining review you do and certainly well deserved I my opinion : )
We arrive to Disneyland today ( such an easy to plan vacation ) as you are off for your fabulous WDW vacation ... looking forward to reading the review when you return. Have a safe magical trip!

Boma is definitely one of my favorite breakfasts at WDW - looks like another good meal. I love all the vegetables they offer.

And I'm editing to add that I tried the strip steak at Flying Fish (as part of the duo)! At first, I never thought I'd enjoy something so charred, but the flavor was great.

 

[MeridaLove]

Loving your report so much! We are 28 days away from our trip and your trip report is helping the days fly by. Thanks so much for sharing your fun with us!

Great update Brenda. Bummer that you had so many issues at Flying Fish. Thoroughly enjoyed my birthday dinner there a few years ago.

 

[poohangel]

I love Boma breakfast. That juice is so good. I loved the goat cheese eggs though.

 

[BebopAngel88]

Since I have been reading your reports, I just love looking at all the food pics. The only thing now is that when I read other TRs and they don't have food pics, I just want to say is WHY!?!?! LOL ... I feel spoiled.

 

[vettegirl]

All caught up! Hope you girls are enjoying your current trip

What an awesome day of food. Boma looks great. I had no idea the food was so close to tusker, which is the one and only buffet we actually like. Definitely making it to the must dry list.

Your pizza or I mean very French flatbread at chefs looks great. Though I gotta ask, what is kir? Shocked a wino like me didn't know off hand.

I'd read barbs flying dish review and still can't believe you all got that comped. What amazing customer service. And the prosciutto and melon plate looks too good to be true.

Bravo do you for trying sushi. I find it's really mind over matter and I've come to prefer raw to cooked tuna. Hope you have a great meal this week. Flying fish is one of our staples so hopefully it makes up for last trip. If the mood strikes you their bolognese is the best I've ever had. And I'm italian and cook my own, so that's saying a lot of a fish restaurant.

Loved Part 2 of your Cali Grill report Brenda, it looks like it was a truly lovely evening. I read Paula's DR and saw the photos of that lovely cake. What a wonderful surprise for her, WTG Hunter!

You're correct in remembering that my sister and I had a less than memorable post-refurb experience at CG. Unfortunately we weren't in the minority at the time as I read a number of reviews afterward about people having similar experiences to ours. However it looks like they're ironing out the kinks and I'd love to return some time and try either the pork or scallop dish. They both look heavenly.

Boma always looks like a good solid choice for breakfast. We've only eaten dinner here but breakfast is on my bucket list.

LOL at the look on the guys faces at Le Chefs! Michael is seriously giving Phillipe the stink-eye.

LOVE the bacon and onion flatbread, you just can't go wrong with that choice! As long as it's hot and fresh at least. I had the croque monsieur on our last trip and wasn't that impressed. It wasn't bad, it just wasn't especially good either. I actually found it to be rather bland. I wish I'd thought to ask for Dijon, Michael definitely had the right idea there.

LOL, I don't think Phillipe looks like he's saying "help me". It looks to me like he's trying to judge how long he can hug you before Michael decides to send him back to France ... the hard way.

So sorry you twisted your ankle at FF, ouch!

I loved the crab cake appetizer too but oh my goodness that prosciutto and melon looks superb!! I read about the problems you experienced on Barb's report but was happy to read that overall, you ended up having a positive experience.

Great updates Brenda, I hope you and Em are having a wonderful trip!

 

[wdwluvrs]

And with 3 1/2 dining reviews completed in one evening my work is done here for the next couple of weeks.....

I'm inserting a break here while Em and I go to WDW for 15 days starting this week. I have some business travel tomorrow and then I'm out of here!

And you can bet that I will NOT miss out on that ooey gooey toffee cake this trip!

Brenda hope you and Em are having a great time at WDW

 

[guinness408]

Yay!! So excited to see you started another trip report!! Loving it so far... Other than the lack of toffee cake!! Hope the wedding plans are coming well....

Thanks for the update! Looks like we might be at the World at the same time! Have a fantastic vacation!

Been following. Love the food reports and pics. And my compliments to you. You have the will power to resist the siren call of Tonga Toast at Kona.

 

[Smiling Cheshire Cat]

Who knew a restaurant called "Flying Fish" would make such a beautiful looking steak? Thanks for sharing Brenda!

 

[jerseytinkerbell]

Boma has quickly become a favorite breakfast spot! I can't believe it's not more crowded in there, but like you said, maybe people don't want to go out of their way. Especially for a non-character meal.

I keep saying I am going to do Flying Fish and then somehow always talk myself out of it. I am going to do it this time! For real! Your review convinced me I need to get there. I'm going to bump Narcoossee for FF. Done. Before I change my mind again.

 

[scottny]

Jiko sounded nice.
Tusker House is my favorite character meal. Love that place and that juice.
MMM, Tusker House is so good. Love that burger there.
Too bad about the meal at Yachtsman Steakhouse. That piece of meat you got looked terrible.
MMM, Kona. Love that place for breakfast or dinner.
LTT is very good place to eat. I love that ooey gooey cake too bad you did not get it.
We cannot do ‘Ohana anymore. Too many bad experiences.
Love Mara. Home to our hopefully soon new “home”. Okay probably not till next year but I cannot wait.
Love that pulled pork sandwich from Flame Tree.
CG looked so good. We have not been there since the redo.
Love Chefs de France. My 2nd favorite in all of WDW. He did look like “help me”. LOL.
We ate at FF once and it was very good.
