If you are what you eat, then I only want to eat the Good Stuff

[Shenanigoat]

To drink I had the Antioxidant Cocktail - Finlandia Wild Berries Vodka, Chambord Black Raspberry Liqueur, Bossa Nova Acai Juice with Agave, Aloe Juice, Lychee, and freshly squeezed Lemon Juice $9.25


The mix of berries and juice was just … Wow. I ended up ordering one more during the meal. I don’t think there was a tremendous amount of alcohol in the drink, but it was tasty and I felt better about killing my liver because of all the good antioxidants I was putting in at the same time. Sort of like having a snickers and a DIET coke. They cancel each other out… Right?

I want to follow your diet plan That drink looks great.

 

[whogirl'smom]

Everything sounds good! (Ok, I'm not a tuna person, but other that that...) I'm looking forward to dessert!

 

[oybolshoi]

nice review of the wavey gravey ... too bad we're only going there for breakfast. But I'm pretty sure they'll give us booze at breakfast.

Seriously ... everything looked great ... am eagerly looking forward to your dessert review.

 

[Nancy for Disney]

Enjoyed The Wave review. I am thinking of eating here. We are only planning 1 TS meal as it is a quick trip and I don't want to do much waiting. The desserts may be my deciding factor so post soon. Your drink looks great although I am a little disappointed that there is a lack of alcohol.

 

[MickeyNicki]

Loved your Wave review...that is fastly becoming our favorite TS in WDW....the food and the service is great!

 

[Sandy321]

YUM!! I think its time to update the alcohol drink picture thread!! I love you had musical plates!!

 

[praisehisname]

Hi Janis! I found your report through Brenda's report. Your reviews have made me hungry--too bad we're having leftovers for dinner...

That antioxidant cocktail looks way too yummy. Hmmm...perhaps I can tell my DH that all my cocktails are of the antioxidant quality-do you think he'd buy it? I'm intrigued by the tomatoes with your tenderloin. Makes me very happy that we have The Wave on our dining list for the next trip.

 

[Ms. Heimlich]

Howdy Everyone! I am so sorry for the delay… You all know how life gets in the way of your disboard time right? Geez.

On with the show!

DESSERT!

When we last left you we had just finished our entrees and finished each others entrees! It was time to contemplate dessert!

First things first… I ordered some hot tea. Yum.





On to the good stuff!

I got the Decadent Flavors - Blueberry Compote with Yogurt Gelato, Lemon Cornbread with Vanilla Panna Cotta, and Chocolate Cake with Salted Caramel Sauce $7.99





The Blueberry compote was warm and cold yumminess of blueberry and vanilla. I really love blueberries and I could have eaten this and eaten this and eaten this, but I was distracted by the….



The Lemon Cornbread was actually a little dry. It had a great lemon flavor but it needed something… like thick lemony icing! But I only ate a bit of this because I needed to get my spoon into...


My favorite thing though was the chocolate cake with salted caramel. I could’ve eaten a whole tray of these things. The caramel was so good and I am pretty sure I used my finger to get the last bit of it out of the little dish!

Thomas ordered the Crisp and Crunchy - Vanilla-braised Pineapple , Almond-Pineapple-Raisin "Baklava," and Zucchini-Carrot Cake with Vanilla Panna Cotta - $7.99




The vanilla pineapple spears were fresh pineapple (maybe braised) in some kind of vanilla sauce. They were still firm and flavorful. They were good but nothing that blew his socks off.


The “baklava” wasn’t. It was morelike an egg roll… it was good but not very sweet. And just kindof there.


The carrot cake was moist and flavorful. I wish there had been a lot more of the icing!

Faith ordered the Freshly Crafted Sorbets - Lemon-Basil Sorbet, Pineapple Sorbet, and Strawberry Sorbet - - $7.99










Overall, I think this was the best dessert. The lemon basil one was SOOOOO good. It was very different from anything I have really ever had. The other two were good, but after the lemon basil one they were kindof boring. I think I would recommend this dessert over all the others.

Overall thoughts on the Wave:

Like many of you, I think the Wave has become one of my favorite TS places at Disney. The food was fresh and the sustainability thing they have going on is also very positive. I didn’t feel the restaurant was “Birkenstock and Granola” because of it… Just good food with a little thought behind it. The tables had real cloth on them, the service was FANTASTIC (GO Aziz) and the restaurant is just beautiful.

I also wanted to mention…. If they bring you a straw, it is a paper (recycled) straw - not plastic. I thought it was really cool.


Bean Counter Portion of the Program:
Todays total was $125.53 after tax.

This total included the antioxidant cocktail at $9.25 as well as our entrees ($28.99, $20.99, and $25.99), 2 hot teas ($2.19 each), and desserts ($7.99 each). Tax was $7.67.
The recommended tip amount on the recipet was $21.21 - 23.57

 

[Ms. Heimlich]

Look at all the yumminess…









Much later that evening we decided we wanted a small snack. I had heard about the ice cream sandwiches at the Bakery so I headed there. I got a chocolate chip cookie ice cream sandwich.



Holy COW! I couldn’t even get my mouth around it!!!



Faith got a single scoop of Mint Chocolate Chip ice cream from the Ice Cream Parlour. I don’t have a picture because it was gone before I got back with my sandwich! It would have melted anyway!

I HIGHLY recommend this snack. OMG. Yummy and only 1 snack credit!!!

 

[whogirl'smom]

Those updates were a wonderful sugar overload! Just a sin not to have more icing on that carrot cake, though. Cake is a vehicle for icing!

 

[oybolshoi]

Love the dessert updates!

 

[Shenanigoat]

lmao- "small snack"

love the action shot!

 

[bedillamouse]

I just found your report....I'm enjoying it greatly! I love the desserts the most since I'm trying to cut back on my sugar intake (at least until I get to WDW in dec). I didn't know about the cookie ice cream sandwiches so I'm excited to try one of those!!!

 

[WETWHISTLE]

enjoying your reviews!!!

 

[Ms. Heimlich]

Have you tried candy corn mixed up with dry roasted peanuts? OH MY! Tastes like a Payday without the stickiness.

the only thing wrong with candy corn is that it is not available year round!

Im in
Turkish delight is a very popular chocolate bar over here, personally i love them
Having been to turkey last year and eaten the real mccoy, the stuff we get here is pants!!
Frys belongs to cadburys, which is why it is sold in the UK. Hope that makes it clearer.....
There are better choc bars here in the UK - Ill trade you for some Reeces - I love those little cups, v hard to find in the UK!!!
next time try flakes, or frys mint bars - they are very good.
looking forward to reading the rest of your reviews, EOS is our 1st night stop too!!
Tracy

I will be trying english candy again... I promise. but absolutely no more turkish delight for me.... I would give it a whirl if i ever get to Turkey tho!!

When winter comes, PM me... I'll send you some Reeces!! I would trade for some of those mint bars. That sounds intriguing!

The sandwiches from your picnic in the park option look great. Good price too. Somehow we always wind up at Pizzafari, not by my choice. The sandwiches sure would be a nice change of pace. Is this something you order on the spot or ahead of time?

ORder ahead of time. there is a ton of information here: http://allears.net/din/akpicnic.htm

I will have to try that! Sweet & salty all together

ITA! YUM!!

You are a hoot and I am totally enjoying this food porn report! I'll be totally honest with you, what reeled in was that pic with the meat leg going towards the mouth. I think I laughed so hard I almost peed my pants (cuz I have a pic with me doing the same thing)

I am enjoying this trippie to the fullest!! Can't wait for more!!

Thanks... It was between the ice cream one and the lamb shank and obviously you know which one won!!

I have no shame.

Flakes!!! OMG I love that candy bar. I went nuts when I saw them at Epcot last year. My husband thought I was crazy, but I HAD to have one. It reminds me of the semester in college that I spent in London.

OK... maybeI will request flakes instead of the mind one... This sounds intriguing as well... hmmm.

I'm from the UK and can confirm that it is EasterN!

Great reiews by the way.

Thanks. still don't like it tho...

Enjoyed the update!

Thanks for the update and enjoying your review. Sorry to her Faith did not like the Lamb Shank...did you like it b/c that's what I want to order when we try it for the first time at the wave. Can't wait to read the dessert...my favorite part of the meal

Oh, she liked it... she just was hoping for something a little different... so we traded. No big. Thanks for reading.

I want to follow your diet plan That drink looks great.

Maybe we can meet in WDW and see how it works for a week?

Everything sounds good! (Ok, I'm not a tuna person, but other that that... I'm looking forward to dessert!

I hope you enjoyed it!

nice review of the wavey gravey ... too bad we're only going there for breakfast. But I'm pretty sure they'll give us booze at breakfast.

Seriously ... everything looked great ... am eagerly looking forward to your dessert review.

If they don't have booze at breakfast, I will expect a very POOR report! I hope you have fun next month!

Enjoyed The Wave review. I am thinking of eating here. We are only planning 1 TS meal as it is a quick trip and I don't want to do much waiting. The desserts may be my deciding factor so post soon. Your drink looks great although I am a little disappointed that there is a lack of alcohol.

well... What did you decide?

Loved your Wave review...that is fastly becoming our favorite TS in WDW....the food and the service is great!

I totally agree. Fantastic.

YUM!! I think its time to update the alcohol drink picture thread!! I love you had musical plates!!

We did that A LOT on this trip.

Hi Janis! I found your report through Brenda's report. Your reviews have made me hungry--too bad we're having leftovers for dinner...

Denise

I hate leftovers. I am sorry.
Glad you find my little report. Any friend of Brenda's is welcome here!

That antioxidant cocktail looks way too yummy. Hmmm...perhaps I can tell my DH that all my cocktails are of the antioxidant quality-do you think he'd buy it? I'm intrigued by the tomatoes with your tenderloin. Makes me very happy that we have The Wave on our dining list for the next trip.

I can't wait to hear what you think. We loved it (obviously!)

Those updates were a wonderful sugar overload! Just a sin not to have more icing on that carrot cake, though. Cake is a vehicle for icing!

Especially CARROT CAKE- MMMMMMM. Cream cheese icing!

Love the dessert updates!

Thanks! I can't wait to hear all about your adventure in eating!!!

lmao- "small snack"

Hehe... I was wondering if anyone would pick up on that!

 

[Ms. Heimlich]

I wanted to go into the Magic Kingdom early, see the sights, get the empty main street picture taken and see the Crystal Palace. I have never eaten there and while eating with Pooh never really got me all excited, seeing the inside of the restaurant did...

We arrived at our reservation time, got a pager thingy and waited very briefly for a table. It was early so there wasn't a lot of people about. We met our waiter and headed out to the buffet... Incidentally...

This review will be very little "words" and a whole lot of pics. I find it difficult to review buffets so I just took pics of everything and am going to post them...































Per requests below...

I enjoyed the food, although I admit I didn't eat much. I tried the Puffed french Toast on the kids corner (due to all the excitement on the boards about it...) and found it... meh. A little greasy for my taste (no flames please!!!). The bacon was tasty and I enjoyed the fruit. I filled up with a big bowl of oatmeal (and real butter!!!) so I really didn't have room for much else.

Everything was hot (or cold) accordingly and I only found one thing empty when I went looking for it... tomato slices...

I would definitly go back. I wish the characters were a little more organized. I never saw Tigger. We had to go....

 

[Pooh&OurHunny]

Thanks for the pictures from CP. We never tried CP for Breakfast and can't wait to try it for our Dec trip. We have gone for lunch buffet and we love the selection...hopefully the breakfast will be a good selection and fresh. Thanks again for sharing.

 

[ChelleinNC]

So overall how did the food taste? Was the buffet replenished often? Would you go back or recommend it?
