1. I loved Tony's when we ate there last September. I think I'll make a reservation for our December trip, I don't know why the place gets a bad rap! Sure, it's not super authentic Italian food, but the restaurant itself is cute and I still thought the food was really good. I'm definitely Pro-Tony's.
2. Grooosssss!!!
It would be tough to get past that association. What is WRONG with people?! I'm glad you guys got to give it another shot there and have a great experience.
Pro Tony's! Woo hoo! I agree. Not authentic Italian, but tasty with a fun atmosphere. What else can you ask for?
It has been very hard for Rob to get over that experience. Thankfully I think this trip may have finally left a positive impression now.
Wow, I'm shocked to see how good your Tony's meal is. I've never tried it do to all the wide spread panning of it, so it's good to finally hear something good. Your zucchini fries look great, as does your hubby's pasta. May need to rethink visiting sometime here.
We're staying at POFQ next trip and I can't wait to take the boat to DTD. We've avoided it for years because of all the construction so it will be an extra special treat. Speaking of which, your Ghiradelli sundae looks amazing. I'm not always a huge ice cream fan, but will literally eat anything in salted caramel.
We love WPE too, but again its been several years. And yeah for picnics in bed
I totally don't get the hatred for this place. Every place gets it's share of negative reviews for one reason or another, but I feel like there is too much hate towards Tony's. I personally enjoy it, so I guess that's all that matters.
I love POFQ! The boat ride makes it extra fun to get over to DTD. If you like salted caramel then you would definitely love that sundae. They don't play around with the flavors there! Sounds like you need an evening of WPE and Ghirardelli's on your next trip!
Always love your reviews jerseytinkerbelle!
It was nice to read about your experience at Tony's- it always seems to get bashed in the reviews!!
Thanks for sharing
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed the Tony's review!
Joining in, we tried Trails End this past November because of your review and we loved our dinner and received the 10% off with my visa! I so wanted to try frushi in April but I did one of those I'll come back and never did. Love the reviews. Tony's looks good, haven't tried there yet.
Awesome!!!! So glad you enjoyed Trail's End! Gotta love that Disney Visa discount too.
When it comes to the food booths at either F&W or F&G I always play the 'I'll Get That Next Time' game with at least one item and then it never happens. I tell myself that with picture taking as well. Hopefully they'll have the frushi there for many years to come so that way you can eventually give it a try.
Seriously though, it is AMAZING!!! I recommend giving it a try. You might be as pleasantly surprised as I was.
I've had that salted caramel one before & I love it. Salted Caramel is my favorite dessert flavor no matter what!
Glad you enjoyed being so close to SSR and used that to your advantage!
I agree! I can't get enough salted caramel! I love that is a dessert trend now. Salted caramel and chocolate peanut butter can almost never be wrong.
SSR is not my favorite resort as far as theming goes, but I do love it there. We had an awesome stay this trip.
Joining in a bit late. DS found our lunch at Trails End hit & miss as well. Really enjoyed some things but didn't like others at all. We are trying dinner for the first time in August in large part because of your previous reviews!
That meatloaf sandwich from WPE looks amazing! I don't know of any way to fit it in this trip but you never know. Ghiardelli's is on our list but now I am not sure which of those two sundaes to try. I thought I was having the salted caramel one but really do love hot fudge and bananas! Oh the decisions one must make on a WDW trip!
Glad you joined in! TE is way better for dinner. I hope it is a big hit for you!
The meatloaf sandwich is ALWAYS a winner. But I hear ya. So much great food, not enough days in a trip.
The decisions get tough on a Disney vacation!
Personally, I don't much care for bananas, so it makes it an easy choice for me, but Rob loves that sundae.
Jeri- I adore your reviews! You and I have a similar touring and eating style, so I feel like I can connect with you! I added you on IG also! (Ashsleeved)
Thanks so much!
So, so glad you are following along on Instagram as well! It's fun to share Disney vacations with others that love it too.
Loving the review as always Jerri!! I miss WFE right now!!! You have me thinking about staying @ SSR again b/c you are so right, DTD is amazing & it's so nice to take the boat or path over. I loved that!!
Thanks so much! That convenience is going to make it hard to stay away from SSR for awhile. The fact that it's hard to get a stay through DVC at any other resort at the last minute usually makes it an easy decision for us, but we are starting to pick it as a favorite. The next goal there is to get a room that actually faces DTD. That would be very very cool to look at all day.
Great photo of those Amphicars at the Boathouse - and that WPE pizza looks appetizing....
Thank you! Those photos don't even do them justice. It is so cool there. I definitely have to make eating there a priority next time.
Awesome trip report...can't wait to read more!
Thank you so much! Finally getting some more reviews up this weekend.
I think I have the same ears!!! Hahahaha.. I ordered them on Etsy! Did people recognize that they were Ariel ears? A couple of people told me they thought they were Christmas ears.. I'm like "have you never seen the Little Mermaid, and why would Christmas ears have a fork!?"
Omg.. that would ruin me for a while, too!! HAhahaha.
These look so good.. wow!
Your meals both look awesome. We have never been to Tony's since I've heard such awful things about it from so many, but we might have to try it this time.
I got them on Etsy too! Love Etsy. I actually got two different pairs. The one in the picture and another pair that doesn't have the starfish and the one ear is purple instead of green. I never thought about it but you're right. They are kinda Christmas-y. I did get quite a few comments on them, so I think most people got it. Especially the CMs.
I really think Tony's is better than a lot of people give it credit for. I always enjoy my food there. And at lunch time the price isn't bad as far as Disney food prices go.
Yay! I had forgotten you were going!!! I absolutely love your trip reports. Everything looks delicious. I don't even like meatloaf and that sandwich looks amazing. I can't wait to read more!
Oh and your hours....ouch! How do you ever see each other?
Hey! Glad you are joining in!
Don't like meatloaf?!? I think WPE meatloaf would change your mind. As an entree or the sandwich they are both delicious.
We actually work at the same place, so we do still see each other a lot. He is only a few cubicles away.
His hours are only a few off from mine and I try to schedule at least one day off the same each week so that we can hang out for a whole day. I see him a lot, but I just don't see anyone else lol.
Everyone seems to love WPE. I know one of these days i'll try it but i just haven't made it over there yet.
I highly recommend making the time to check it out. But you should definitely do the one on the Marketplace side and not the West Side. Way better options at the Marketplace one.
Love WPE one of my favorites, we are staying at SSR & OKW during our vacation. I am really excited about DTD being so close for meals.
Nice! It is definitely the best perk of staying at SSR. I loved OKW too. The atmosphere is incredible. I can't wait to get back there again one day.
We are huge WPE fans here and even ate their twice last month.
Awesome!!! Glad you got to fit it in your trip a few times. I wish we had done breakfast there this trip. Their breakfast pizza is my absolute favorite.
