No judgement here! I love weird combos like that! I think I might have to try the Ham, Prosciutto, and Swiss Waffle Sandwich with some nutella next time.

If you think being a firefighter is tough, try being a firefighter's wife

Love the reviews!! We are from Philly too!! DH is a Philly firefighter. We are going in 2 weeks for our 3rd family trip, staying at Art of Animation. I got my DH hooked too on our first trip in 2003. We got engaged on that trip! Love the reviews. O'Hana is my all time FAV as well. I have an ADR there for this trip and can't wait!

We decided on Pecos Bill’s for lunch, mostly due to the ridiculous topping/condiment bar that we all know and love.

Not much variety here folks, we both ordered cheeseburgers with fries. However, we both LOADED up our trays with condiments, making these the messiest burgers I think I’ve ever seen.



Trust me, the condiment you see on the tray are only half of those used. Multiple trips were made, haha.

Fries were dipped in cheese, in mayonnaise, in ketchup. Burgers were slathered in anything we could get our hands on that we could spread onto a bun. It was a glorious, disgusting mess. I won’t sit here and pretend it’s gourmet, but the burgers are your standard fast food fare, and with all the fun fixin’s, it’s become a tradition to come to Pecos Bill’s and have some fun.

Afterwards, we made it our mission to get one of the snacks on my “never had” list; the Dole Whip. We opted for the Pineapple-Vanilla Swirl:



And we enjoyed it.



Man, this stuff is GOOD. I just assumed this was one of those “people are really in love with it, but it’s probably more about the fact that they’re eating it in Disney, as opposed to the actual taste” snacks.

I was wrong! It’s an extremely refreshing snack, and I can imagine enjoying one on a hot summer day. It’s a great taste variety with the swirl, and the pineapple is really crisp and tasty, contrasting with the smoothness of the vanilla. We never did get to try the float, but Iw as really happy I was able to check this off my list.

We finished up our day in the park, and went home to shower/get fancy.

It was getting close to dinner. Our favorite restaurant. Our yearly date.

California Grill.

I'm subscribing...love your writing style, and anyone who can get themselves extra Nutella is a-ok in my book!

Can't wait to see you two 'get fancy' at California Grill. You both are adorable.

I'm joining late but just in time to see what you thought of California Grill! Anyone who can appreciate the amazingness of the Y&Y fried wonton dessert and the spectacularness of the holiday sandwich at EoS gets my full attention!!

Honestly, I'm loving reading your review!

Now bring on the Cali Grill!

I'm really glad to read your review about the Dole Whip. I, too, have yet to try one. I know, it's basically a Disney sin. Anyway, that is #1 on my Disney Live List for our trip in October. I was thinking the exact same thing as you about how it's probably not as spectacular as everyone says, just that it's a treat you can only get in Disney World. I'm so glad to see that you honestly loved it. I can't wait to try it!

Congrats on your marriage, and thanks for a great dining report!

We honeymooned there a few years ago, and I recommend it to everyone who's getting married!

Great and gorgeous food photos too! I have to ask...what kind of camera do you use?

Ugh, I can't even think about those wonton without getting hungry!

I'm not near a computer so the Cali Grill might be a day or two, but it's in progress!

Thanks!

I have a canon dslr, the rebel. The lens I have on it is the 1.4, which runs around $300 and is worth every penny. There's a 1.8 that's about a third of the price which takes comparable shots though.
