Excellent work! I commend you!

I love Tangerine Cafe! My mom and I were just talking about stopping there and getting a veggie platter on our eating aroung the world evening in July!! Thanks for warning me about the lentils

 

[dawgfan]

Great review. Thanks.

Yay, we can go HSM stalking together!! I wouldn't be too bothered about Zac though.. I'm all about Ashley and Lucas! I just LOVE Sharpay and Ryan!

I saw the Sharpay Barbie at the store today and thought of you. I actually had an in to go see them filming HSM2, but I was too embarrassed to take it and go. Man, sometimes I really wish I was a 13 year-old girl.

The No Way Jose is a gorgeous meant-for-two bowl of vanilla and chocolate ice cream drenched in chocolate and peanut butter sauces and covered in chocolate and peanut butter chips. Add whipped cream and a cherry and voila! A chocolate-peanut butter lovers dream!! Is it just me or should peanut butter sauce be available on everything!?

Yes, it should be. PB sauce on everything. *drools* That is my heaven.

I am so happy to see pics of Tangierine & Beach Club!!!! I have recommended both of these several times but never thought to take pics. Glad you enjoyed both, albeit the lentils. Glad you enjoyed them.

I have to say I'm very sad that you are at the very end of your report. I can't tell you how much I've enjoyed your wonderful writing & beautiful photography! Thanks so much for sharing your trip with us!

Yum, Beaches & Cream - we discovered this gem of a place in February. Can't beat it for burgers and ice cream

I've loved your reviews - you really made everything sound delicious (apart from maybe the raw chicken stuff )

 

[Ms. Heimlich]

Just a note to say I am loving your report.

The food porn is great!

looking forward to final day and closing thoughts!

Isn't there anymore????

I'm sorry.. and give her a message for me (but stand far away): Corbin Bleu is totally cute in person. (I'd say hot, but I think that might be illegal).

We were there during the filming of the Disney Channel Games. You might have a chance of seeing them if your April 08 trip is at the same time they are filming next year as they all seemed to be staying at AKL (since its so close to the WWS complex).

Per IMDB, Corbin is no longer jail bait as of Feb. 21 of this year...

 

[harleyquinn]

You're doing a great job! You make me proud to be from Cleveland!

BTW, DH and I are 27 and I think I might have fainted upon seeing Corbin!! lol We'll be in WDW when the next movie premieres!

 

[ufgator]

Great reviews and pics! I agree that they should expand Beaches & Cream into the arcade section.

 

[PrincessTiff]

Highly entertaining reviews, thank you for sharing.

Okay, okay, I'm back. I know, I abandoned you all and left you in a state of food depravity. I failed you all. *hangs head in shame*

Honestly, I couldn't figure out how to end this report. I debating making a YouTube video. Jeff thought I should record my own version of Wishes... er.. Dishes. The idea of sending you all cheese trays popped into my head (thank God my brother works for FedEx, right?)

In the end... my co-worker went and had a baby (geeze, some people! ) and left me to do her work and I got busy and actually forgot about this report. Yes, really. I forgot about it.

And then I came back to the Dis and remembered and felt all guilty...

So right, last day otherwise known as THE MOST HORRIBLE DAY OF MY LIFE (until the next "last day" at Disney). We ate at The Plaza because Jeff is convinced that they have the best cheesesteaks of anywhere, ever. I'll admit they are very, very good, but Jeff also hasn't been to Philly.

The Plaza does do a good job with it, however. The meat doesn't taste dried out, its not overly greasy, the sub/hoagie roll is always nice and fresh. In hindsight, I should've gotten one for myself, because I found myself disappointed with my selection.

I got the Grilled Chicken Sandwich, which as ham and swiss on top. Sort of a deconstructed Chicken Cordon Bleu, I think to myself.. or not really. The chicken was a bit bland and bit a dry. The ham itself didn't really impart any flavor and the cheese wasn't melty enough. It might have just been the fact that I new I'd be on a plane back to icky sticky Cleveland soon that prevented me from enjoying my meal, however, since past Plaza experiences have told me that their food is super enjoyable.

So with immense blues we left MK to head back to OKW for our ME bus (got acronyms?). With tears streaming, Jeff attempted to calm my sadness with the one thing that satisfies a sad belly: the Mickey Premium Bar.

Describing this would be a waste of time, because the draw of the MPB is 30% taste and 70% the experience of being in Disney.

And with that, we boarded a bus to MCO, our palates awakened, our senses heightened, our belly's full, and our waistbands tight.

I will never forget any of it.

And because of it, I almost accosted the cheese guy at Whole Foods because he had some Serena in his case.

Woooo-hooooo a fantastic foodie report! One of the best! Thank you so much for taking the time to write all this out.

[DisneyJo]

Thanks so much for coming back and finishing I loved your report

 

[Disneyolic]

I forgot about this report too until it popped up on my subbed list. Then I totally remembered. Hey...the fries looked good in your meals! I do love them Mickey Premium Bars. I had my first (yes, first) this past trip. I didn't know what I was missing all along....

Thanks for the great end to your fabulous, foodie report! I definitely made me miss Disney a little more and a little less all at the same time to read your delicious, detailed descriptions. I am glad you came back to finish it, despite your forgetting all about us (I blame the caffeine!) although I would still like my cheese tray!

I will be in the World in about a month and I will definitely post my reviews when I get back. I'll even take pics of the HSM Pep Rally at the Studios for you! I am going to some of the same places (Jiko, Kona, Cali Grill, Beaches and Cream) and some new ones (Artist Point, San Angel Inn, Boma, Bluezoo, Spoodles, Raglan Road, etc.) so if anyone has any requests, let me know!

Oh gosh, have a great time Lulu!!! I love SAI and Boma! We had an ADR for Bluezoo on our last day but ended up cancelled since we didn't feel like dressing up. I'll look forward to that review!

I'm SO excited for HSM2!!

Thanks! I've done Bluezoo once before - it was a huge meal - Cantonese Sticky Fried Lobster for me and Block of Salmon with homemade potato and Farmer's Cheese Pierogies for DBF and Creme Brulee bar for dessert. This time we're going back just for appetizers and drinks since we didn't have room for those last time. I will definitely post a review. Boma is DBF's favorite (well, since 'Ohana changed a year or two ago at least) and we always get the same waiter - 4 times now! Although this is not HSM related, I wanted to tell you guys that I am supposed to be meeting up with some other former CM friends and I am trying to talk them into getting our har done at the Bibbidy Bobbidi Boutique - talk about 13 years old, I am so excited.

Do it!!! It was so much fun and the character interaction was fantastic!! I still wear the tiara every now and then!
