Enjoying the start to your DR! Jock Lindsey's seems really cool! Will have to check it out on our next trip!
Thanks! Jock Lindsey's was definitely a lot of fun. Hope you get to check it out next time you're in WDW!
Loving your DR so far! I can't imagine being able to take a 16 day trip. Sounds like heaven!
Thanks so much! I am so lucky that my job gives me a lot of vacation time and allows me to take that much time off all at once. Being down there for 2+ weeks is amazing.
Just now saw this! I loved following your long trip on Instagram
Glad that the food you had from the Flower & Garden Festival tasted so great!
The Hanger is such a great bar! Looks like you really enjoyed yourselves there
Their glasses are so awesome!
I am glad you followed along with me on IG and now on here as well! We didn't have too many misses with the Outdoor Kitchens this year. The food and drinks were on point. The Hanger was definitely a good time. The glasses are too cool and I am a sucker for a good souvenir glass.
Hopping on! enjoying your report so far!
Thanks so much for joining in!
Wow, your meal at POR looks really good, especially that pasta. Can't believe you got that much for $10. I certainly don't do counter service as much as we should cause there is a lot we are missing.
Ahh, Kona!!!! We'll be there a week from today as Jason has requested it as his post marathon meal. I'm secretly hoping I can convince him to order 2 meals (with one being the tonga toast) so I can finally try it.
Jock Lindsey's looks like so much fun. And what delicious drinks!!!! Most of those sound better than trader sam's to me. I don't think we're going to get it in this trip, but definitely plan to hit it up on the next one.
The more we go to WDW the more we move away from Signatures and throw some counter service in the mix. I would actually take WPE over any Signature (food wise anyway) any day. Hope you had an awesome meal at Kona! Can't wait to read about it. I preferred the drinks at Jock Lindsey's to the ones at Trader Sam's. Defnitely some more interesting options IMO.
Joining in! I am impressed you make that drive the way you do. Glad you got to sleep it off and start your trip on such a high note!
Phew, that drive is something else. It always feels so good to get a shower and a nap after that long drive and then hit the park.
We will be staying at the POR RR for the first time this summer. How were the beds and the staff?
Thanks for the reviews.
You will have an awesome time this summer! The staff was great. Other than he first girl getting the MagicBands wrong everyone the encountered was awesome. Mousekeeping was good here also. The beds were super comfy. We slept so soundly our whole stay.
Joining in! Enjoyed following along on IG!
Thanks for joining in with me on IG and for my DR!
Jock Lindsays looks like a lot of fun! Great way to start your vacation.......I am so jealous over 16 days!!! Did you leave the bubble at all during that time? I'm always tempted to check out some of the other Orlando area attractions but can never bring myself to leave the Disney bubble!
Sadly we did not leave the bubble. We rarely do. I have been trying to get DH to do Universal since we haven't been there in 6 years, but he's not feeling it. I also wanted to go "off campus" as he refers to it, and check out the Character Warehouse for some discount Disney merch, but he fought me on that too. He hates leaving the bubble. He didn't even want to go to the spring training game at WWoS until I convinced him it was really on Disney property.
I don't drink, but those drinks at Jock Lindsays look awesome and yummy !
They have some yummy sounding non-alcoholic 'mocktail' options as well, so you could definitely still enjoy the atmosphere and the glasses without alcohol.
Great pics on IG, looking forward to your report!
Thanks so much for joining in!
Those drinks look great and I am a sucker for a souvenir glass, that monkey one is so cool!
I love the monkey one! I was super excited to get it. I drink my coffee from him on some mornings.
Great review so far! Following along...
Thanks so much for following!
Joining in. Love your trip reports
Thank you so much!
Thanks so much for reviewing the little food kiosks -- one can find restaurant reviews everywhere, but I'm eager to try the grouper next month.
Some more Outdoor Kitchen reviews still to come. They were awesome this year! The grouper was so incredibly flavorful.
Hi there!
I'm on board for this one! Your DRs have been among my favorite for years so I'm happy to see you and Rob back with more foodie insight.
I love POR's food options, honestly. I've had three great meals at Boatwright's, and the food court is such a nice backup when you're tired or need a quick fix. Glad you liked the pasta and the chips! As for Kona, can you believe in ten visits, I've never done breakfast there? I really need to get moving because it's a DIS rite of passage.
Looking forward to more. Also, I deleted IG and your food pics are making me want to get back on there!
Thanks so much! That means a lot!
We haven't had Boatwright's in quite awhile and almost went there one night but decided against it. Maybe next time we will. I could have had that pasta station a few more times. Their food court was definitely great for the nights you don't feel like making the trek to another Disney Dining location. Oh my gosh, you have to do Kona for breakfast! We tend to get there early and then take the monorail over to MK for rope drop. It's always a great start to the day. I am obsessed with IG! I could to without Facebook and Twitter at this point, but I love IG.
Yay for flower and garden reviews. I can't wait to get that smokehouse hash! And that drink Rob got with the honey and beer sounds so interesting but I would never get it because of the mixed reviews.
You will love the Outdoor Kitchens this year! The hash was so delicious as was the pulled pork sandwich from Smokehouse. That drink was so weird. Rob was glad he got to try it, but he was not liking it. Must be some type of acquired taste I suppose.
Glad your back, love your reviews..
Thanks so much! More reviews coming up!
LOVE your food reviews and your Instagram! Keep it up! More reviews more reviews!!
Thanks so much! More reviews coming right up!
Joining in! I love reading your perspective - what's funny is that we love the brisket burnt ends hash also but I am going to ask for MORE jalapeños next time!
Love the Tonga toast also and agree about the portion - we usually split a Tonga toast and a Samoan.
Can't wait to hear more!
That's too funny about the jalapenos. Different strokes for different folks.
Splitting the Tonga Toast and the Samoan is definitely the way to go! Best of both worlds.
