And I REALLY hate mustard, so this one was a pass for me.
I also got Two Henrys Elderberry Hard Cider.
WOW! SO much crazy! Im glad that you were able to get food outside of the resort food court - that was a smart idea!
And you can't weather a hurricane (or tornade where I am from ) without some sort of alchcol -
Glad you enjoyed Homecoming! I haven't tried it yet but I have tried 1500 South 4 times now here in Naples which is the restaurant Art Smith opened a couple months before Homecoming. Knowing how amazing my meals at 1500 South have been, I can imagine how happy you were there! Isn't that fried chicken the best?
What was your movie count for 2016?
We had the same experience. In fact, I wrote it down in my notes one particular CM because she was outstandingly rude, but I never stopped at guest services to mention it.
Yes!! One of my favorite snacks. SO good!
It stinks that y'all were hurricane trapped but it truly does sound like you made the best of it. Glad you did not end up with one of those crappy boxed lunches I heard about...
Oh me too! I had one after we had Morimoto and I'd forgotten what I had but this was it! Yum.
So glad y'all had a great experience at homecoming. I totally agree with you about the potatoes and the service!
I was keeping tabs via the Disboards on how everyone was doing during the hurricane; I can imagine the stress and disappointment and even the worry, but it sounds like at least in the end it wasn't that bad for you guys! Although I wouldn't like to be stuck in my room for 24 hours
I really, really want to try Homecoming. DH isn't sold on it yet but he's already put in his restaurant request for our May trip so I think my request just might be Homecoming!
I have absolutely loved your trip report thus far! Great pics and descriptions! I am sorry for your travel hiccups but it looks like you made the best of it. I am excited to read the rest of your report.
Looks like you two made the best of the situation, great thinking on your part to get some favorite food items before you got back to the resort! I had read the lines for the food at the resorts was awful and the box lunches were nothing special. Glad you got to try Homecoming, we want to try it in August this year when we go. The chicken sandwich and your entree look so delicious!
We arrived the Sunday after Hurricane Matthew and we had beautiful weather are whole stay so we really lucked out! Have you ever watched Overboard with Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn, so funny!
I was watching the news reports of people waiting in line for food being all 'apocalyptic' and generally terrible. I wondered if Disney kept you all well informed that week? Do you think it was poor planning on the guests for not preparing in advance or do you think Disney downplayed the possibility of things being closed or out of service?
I just kept thinking that if I was there that week, I would've been like, stashing food away here and there. Or at least making sure I had the basics just in case (wine and cupcakes!).
Sorry you had to get stuck but glad you got another 2 days at WDW
Sounds like you lucked out as best you can in that situation! I was very interested as to how everyone was going to manage with the storm.
I hope your 2 bonus days were worth the Vacation Days!
Just started reading - all of the food looks phenomenal! Sorry about that crazy weather - I hope the rest of your trip goes well!
I can't think of a better place to be cooped up at and with all those yummy treats! Great thinking! Homecoming looks a-m-A-zing!! I'm not sure what I want more, those cocktails or fried chicken! Both please!!!
You got there the day after I left. I really wanted to see David Cook but it was a vacation all about Sugar Ray for me .
I'm all caught up. The chicken and donuts from homecoming looked delish!
I'm so happy to see a review for Homecoming. I keep eyeing it but hadn't seen too much about it yet
So nice to get the story behind the report title! I had assumed you maybe over indulged in some of his wine that was available in one of the booths. I can't even imagine the stress. I mean in the abstract, being stuck in WDW sounds like a great problem to have but with real life commitments it is stressful. How smart were you with the food gathering! I remember seeing various posts of lobby & food court madness. Glad you were able to hunker down and had the 1-bedroom villa in which to do it!!!
Looking forward to hearing about your current adventure!
Following your latest adventure on IG, looks like the weather is better on this trip!
Glad you made it through the hurricane ok and you got 2 bonus days!
Omg... that chicken and donuts looks amazing!! We just got back and I'm so sad we didn't get there on this trip. I'm dying to try it.
How crazy that you were there during the hurricane :O But so smart of you to get some provisions for in the room, those bacon/cheese rolls from Les Halles are the best.
I've hated mustard since I was a small child. I could tell instantly if something contained it. I found out in college that I was allergic to to mustard. My body's way of telling me to stay away from it.
This was one of my favorite drinks and I didn't try it until almost the last day. We went back on our last day and it was a massive thunderstorm and didn't get to have another glass. Hoping they have it again this year.
We took the bus to OKW so that we could get our bags and finally check into our room.
They gave us a room relatively close to the main building, which is what I requested, so that was nice. We were on the third floor. Of what area, I have no clue. My mind was lost at this point with the stress of everything and the later hour. Once we drug our bags up to the third floor and got settled into the room we decided we were kinda hungry. We didn't want to go back to Disney Springs again, so we walked over to check out their quick service location. The other time we stayed here we ate at Olivia's once, but we didn't know what the quick service had to offer.
It was somewhat odd that the location was so small with no seating and essentially outside, but the menu looked decent, so we decided to order and take food back to the room and relax.
I got a cheeseburger and fries.
I weirdly love Disney's quick service burgers. This one was no exception. It was super tasty and hit the spot.
Rob got the Taylor Turkey Sandwich which was house-roasted turkey served on a ciabatta bread with basil pesto mayonnaise and chips.
Hard to see with all the chips in the way, but you get the idea. Rob enjoyed his dinner as well.
Despite the stress of no train today and switching resorts, this was one of my favorite days of the trip. We had a great MK day and saw two movies and had a great meal at Homecoming. Not too shabby.
The Local looks AMAZING. Do you know if you can you get drinks to go at Homecoming or do you have to have eaten there or had an ADR?
