COSMIC RAY: (2 different meals)

1st time spicy chicken sandwich & fries
was awesome. did not expect the awesomeness it gave us


MEAL 2:

spicy chicken sandwich & chili dog. very good

Loved both. the chili dog was just like Casey's which is why I think its being served here
till they reopen. Chicken sandwich is a real winner. sucks its a limited holiday offering.


Just checking out my wiener.

What you think of my wiener....

PINOCCHIO VILLAGE HAUS

yuletide wishes cake
really liked it. seeing a trend this trip with all the cake logs.
I am becoming a lumberjack so I can deforest all the chocolate cake logs
from all the villages in the land

SUNSHINE TREE TERRACE



Orange Float
refreshingly scrumptious.
should have swirled it also with the vanilla.

 

[primalJ]

WESTWARD HO

Corn dog nuggs & cup O cheese.
Another Casey's treat found elsewhere. Still love'em.
not sure why the cheese rang up as vanilla syrup?
unless they are sending me a sign to try it with it? Hmmmm

RIVIERA BAR RIVA

out of control goodness. I can not state this strong enough.
So tender and fall of the bone.

RIVIERA LE PETIT CAFE

They are celebrating the resorts 1 year anniversary 12/16/2019
and 12/16 is my actual birthday. so it was fitting when they announced the resorts
opening day we bought it sight unseen, and thrilled we did

SMALLER VERSION Profiteroles
loved it. not as sweet as you would think

case of goods

FREE bonus cupcake, counter girl seen it was my birthday and bestowed
this upon me. so nice of her. basic cupcake though.

RIVIERA LE PETIT CAFE
Continued


brownies:
very good indeed

chocolate banana bread
excellent. should have bought some for the home freezer.

seasonal iced coffee. just okay

Madeleines
not bad, expected more. looks perfect.

fruit tart
goodish. the fruit needs to be sweeter

lemon cheese cake & Xmas Cracker 1st time

lemon cheese cake & Xmas Cracker 2nd time
Both are silly good. not like you'll laugh uncontrollably.
maybe you will, insanity knows no bounds.
I like Le Petit so much more than Amorette's and its right at the base of our DVC home
Bada Boom.

RIVIERA PRIMO PIATTO
(So many visits)

best flavor

the triplets.
love having 1 bedroom rooms, the full kitchen to properly
keep drinks & snacks handy is amazing.

blueberry lemon pancakes: friggin crazy good. just like the first time, you know....
croque madame: ham & cheese with egg. YUP. we just became best friends
primo platter: great eggs and bacon, the polenta is good would prefer taters.

Yup, you gotta pay here too.

More pancakes, cause PANCAKES.
kids & adult platters.
chocolate banana bread for later.

money again

stickers they use on all the orders for pickup even if you
eat in the dining room. I hate the amount of wasted paper products here.

 

[primalJ]

RIVIERA PRIMO PIATTO
continued

Double bacon cheese burger & tomato soup
outstanding. love the burgers here, got them plenty.
the homemade soup is incredible.
they don't list a double burger but if you ask nicely and pay for it
they do it. surprise. money talks$$$$
the best topping for a burger is another burger. duh.

meat pizza
very good. needs to be BIGGER. size matters.

bling bling ( the extra pattie was rang up separate)


Burger & awesome herb fries

again

and again


Croque Monsieur
really enjoyed it, not sure who this Monsieur fella is but I like him




My favorite quick serve at any resort.
when they bring back the full menu, unstoppable.
really wanted to try the hanger steak and chicken cutlet.
I asked when it might return and was told perhaps spring.

RIVIERA TOPOLINO'S BAR

MENU

FREE extra bread

wife enjoying Epicee snow drink.
One sip was enough for me.
she liked it the more she drank it

More bread & ricotta
very tasty. got a side of butter cause I needed more fats.

pricey for bread and a drink, but great room.
the regular menu can be eaten at the bar area but so limited and nothing seemed as
good as the burgers downstairs

 

[primalJ]

RIVIERA VIVOLI CART (by the pool)

just okay. the ones in Primo much better and different maker.

 

[primalJ]

THE WAVE

caesar salad. fresh and crisp. nice healthy snack

wife eyeing the piece de'resistance
BACON & EGGS

BACON & EGGS
in it's birthday suit
HOLY GUACAMOLE. this is altering good. looks nice but the flavors. hubba hubba.
this will be a MUST every trip, and one each, no splitting this.
JUST WOWWOWOWOWOWOWOW



Since TOTW lounge is temporary closed they are serving the cake here. I heard such great things.
It was good, but not like I need it again. Happy it was obtainable.

bling blang

 

[primalJ]

ROARING FORKS

cupcake, just meh



banana foster french toast.
Just alright, but get over to HOMECOMIN for the real deal

Platter
again Meh. sad taters & biscuit

I require extra eggs, so I go them. chicken not included.
these are nothing special

I paid them in empty promises.

Us loving one of our DVC homes

We own Boulder ridge and we now gonna buy Copper Creek to add to
the rest of our DVC collection

Happy Campers

TERRITORY LOUNGE

mentioned they opened the lounge and had THE BURGER. Sold, be right up

Wow, you are really knocking these out. Looks like a great trip! I want everything from that lunch at the Boathouse. Also pickles (obviously) rule!

Stick around lots more to come. Enjoy!
