Homecomin, sprinkles, and raglan road brunch now added to my list! Thanks for those reviews! I’ve always been curious about the raglan road brunch
I’m so sorry to hear about the drunk friend and the vomit incident
especially since you had to cancel the California grill brunch. Insert sobbing emoji here to show my sympathy.
We are planning to do California grill brunch so I would have wanted to hear your take on it. I hope the rest of the trip does gets better!
Awesome! I recommend all three. I was unsure of RR brunch as well, so we were pleasantly surprised by how good it was.
I appreciate it. Ugh, what a nightmare. I am very sad we never got to do CG brunch as ell. I hope you enjoy it when you go! I want to do that next trip for sure. I hear nothing but good things about it. The rest of the trip was definitely all up hill from there.
We saw that on our last trip too, and loved it!
That looks delicious
Aw that sounds terrible. So sorry you had to cancel your plans.
I can't wait to see Disaster Artist again. Plus, then my hubby can switch to that so I don't have to watch The Room 100 more times.
That egg dish was amazing! I have been craving it.
It was not the most fun experience ever, but I'm glad we were able to take care of it without further incident.
Some great updates there Jeri. We really liked Art Smith's on our last visit, but I will be honest, I have had better fried chicken elsewhere (notably House of Blues and Bubba Gump's). I did love the Moonshine drinks there though - the Apple Pie a la Mode was one of the best drinks I've had.
I love the fact that it's only like day 3 and you have already seen 3 movies - and I know how many you watched in total so I really shouldn't be surprised.
So sorry about your friend drinking too much and getting sick. And that you had to deal with it. I would have been beyond angry - and probably not dealt with it with much grace (it sounds like you did). I hope he was suitably sorry the next day.
Looking forward to reading more of your escapades - oh, and totally agree about Greatest Showman. I downloaded the soundtrack in the parking lot at Disney Springs, straight after seeing the movie and have been back to see the movie twice more since then lol. It really is a fab film. Got to say, I disagreed with your take on 3 Billboards though - I really, really enjoyed that movie.
Thanks Joh! I have not done any of the shine drinks yet. I need to try one for sure!
We started off fast and furious for sure! And since we've been home we've seen... one movie. Smh.
Yeah, it was not the most fun Disney experience ever. I only cussed for a few minutes, and then I handled it with grace.
And I didn't even call him out when his wife posed on Facebook a few days later that he got a stomach virus that weekend.
I kept it classy. He was definitely not terribly sorry and tried to play it off like it wasn't from drinking (which it totally was). I refuse to speak to him ever again. That will be the last time we invite him to hang with us on vacation.
Yesssss!!!! So glad you got to enjoy it at that theater as well. I can't stop listening to the soundtrack! It's all I've been playing in my car since we've been back. Glad you enjoyed Three Billboards though! I can see why people like it, but it just rubbed me the wrong way based on a couple of scenes. I was glad to see Sam Rockwell win the Oscar though. He's always been a favorite of mine since Galaxy Quest.
Oh no on the “incident” and canceling brunch the next day as a result. That sounds just awful.
You are a good friend. I had a similar thing happen with a friend about ten years ago and I’m still annoyed if I think about it.
But on to better stuff. Love, love, love Raglan Road. So cute that Rob wanted to ensure you emphasize his love of that dish. I’m a sucker for all things avocado too so that would be right up my alley.
Also a big Homecomin fan. I love how inventive and fresh their cocktails are. It does cause the bar to get pretty backed up sometimes, though. Funny, I love the chicken sandwich and - gasp- am not a big chick-fil-a fan. Something for everyone!
I think I heard Bongos is closing? Or was that just rumor?
So many terrific options in Disney Springs now. I love how SSR really lets you maximize them. I keep saying this - inspired by all your reports- but I really should plan a long weekend there and only do the Springs.
Hope the trip got better... sounds like it had nowhere to go but up.
Ughhh, the things we do for friends right?
He was just so excited about that dish! He was even talking about it again this morning.
They have the absolute best drinks I have ever had. Like you said, very fresh and inventive for sure.
That's funny that you're not a Chick-Fil-A fan. I wish I wasn't. I eat it waaayyyy too much lol.
I haven't heard that, but honestly I wouldn't be surprised with how much they are redoing in that area.
You definitely should! We could probably spend a whole trip just going to DS with no parks (not that I would want to do that, but I could
). I can't believe all the things we wanted to do in DS this trip and still didn't have a chance to do. I missed out on Planet Hollywood, Boathouse, D-Luxe, Morimoto and Paddlefish even though I planned to do all of them. I need a month long trip to fit it all in!
It definitely is much better from this point!
I don't blame you for drinking much on this trip after that. That's unfortunate it happened. I would have been really upset as well (less so if the person made it to the bathroom)
That stinks that you had to cancel the brunch over it! I'm sure you would have loved it.
Glad you enjoyed those three movies! We loved the Disaster Artist as well! I saw the Greatest Showman alone but I really enjoyed that too.
Your new cocktails at Homecomin' look good. Not sure if you made it to Enzo's Hideaway this trip but their cocktails are amazing! I canceled Homecomin' to go back there instead.
Good to know you enjoyed Raglan Road brunch! We're headed there in about 90 minutes.
Yeah if they had at least made it to the bathroom I wouldn't have cared at all and it would have been funny the next day. I wish I had made him sleep in the bathroom. Well, we live and we learn I guess.
I am definitely doing that brunch next time! I really wish we could have done it. It looks incredible.
Yes! Both were so good! I can't wait for them to come out on Blu-Ray to rewatch them.
I really wanted to check it out, but I was concerned about going so soon after it opened. Wanted to give them time to work out any kinks. Good to know they have awesome drinks!
What did you think of brunch?
Enjoying your reviews as usual. You always have a wide variety of food choices and reviews, so helpful for making choices at Disney. Sorry about your friend’s messy drunkenness! At least your Eagles won!
Thank you! We definitely like to try as much as we can. It's very true, at least they won because if they had lost it would have been insult to injury.
Hi Jeri! I was really excited to hear how much you loved brunch at Raglan Road. My husband and I will be in Disney in 26 days. We are visiting our son, who is in the Disney College Program. YAY! We have brunch reservations on March 25th. Your meals looked AMAZING!
Love Homecomin' too! We will be there on the 24th. I am a big fan of the Moonshine Smash, awesome drink! You may want to look into that one. Problem is, you can't stop at one.
Sorry about your friend getting sick in the room. I can't imagine how disgusting that must have been for you!!!!
Looking forward to reading more...
That's so exciting that your son is in the college program! I hope you have an awesome time visiting him! Let me know what you think of RR brunch when you get back.
Well that's another rave for the shine drinks. I definitely have to try one next time for sure.
Thank you, it was most unpleasant in that room that night. Never again.
Can’t wait! My boyfriend and I are going in June and I love reading about other adult couples’ trips to see what there is to do!
Awesome! You will have a blast with just the two of you in June!
We still haven't made it to Homecomin', and I think we're going to skip it next trip, too. There's so many new places we want to try at DS, and while I've read good reviews of Homecomin', for the price, I think I'd rather try other places first. OMG, I would have been so annoyed, angry, disgusted, and so on if that had happened on our trip (re the over-inebriator). Actually, something similar has happened to me in the past. On my & my ex's very first Christmas Eve as a married couple, his best friend came over, got totally smashed, fell asleep on our couch, and when I went to peek out in the living room Christmas morning to see if he was still there, I thought there was popcorn all over the living room rug. It wasn't popcorn. Made my ex clean it up and get the friend out of there. Great first Christmas.
I do love Homecomin'. You'll definitely have to try it some time. But I agree, there's so much to try in DS that it makes it hard to choose.
Oh no! That sure is an eventful first Christmas. Not at all what you want to deal with on the holiday. I feel for you!
Hi girl! Loving all of the updates!
Oh no!
Well this sounds like what dreams are made of
haha!! Nothing like some food pixie dust! (ps- free food = life)
Awww <3 I'm so glad you had such a great time! This makes me wants to be a DVC member now...
Glad things turned around for you! can't wait to hear about the rest of the trip!
Thank you!
Oh that stupid rock. Ended up costing me $255 to fix because it turned into a big crack. Ugh.
It sure was! Nothing says vacation like a frozen drink.
Exactly! I will never say no to free food!
That event was so fun! Being a DVC member is awesome. We seriously save so much money with as many trips as we take and then stuff like this makes it even better.
This trip only gets better from there!
Well that sounds downright awful... Sorry you had to deal with a grown mans sickness. Im sure he is mortified now...
That aside, I can not wait for homecomin again! What exactly is pimento cheese? I also have RR on the radar for brunch, though idk when we could fit it in.... Congrats on the iggles win btw.. I'm in PA (Bucks County, about 45 min north of Philly), so locals went nuts here!
Honestly, I did not find him to be mortified enough.
I wanted some sincere apologies happening, but this guy never takes ownership for anything, so I don't know why I was surprised that he took no ownership this time either.
Pimento cheese is like a spread. I think its typically made with cheese, mayo and pimentos. Its a very southern thing.
That was always our problem, was finding the time for RR brunch since it is very limited as to when it is offered during the week. I am so glad we finally did though!
Woohoo! Thanks! I've got my championship spirit jersey on today as a matter of fact. There were lots of happy tears shed in our house when the game was done.
So happy to see your review of Brunch at Raglan. We've been there for dinner but not brunch. We have reservations for brunch after the Dark Side Half in April. It looks great!
Yay! Same here, we had only done dinner and never brunch before this trip. We loved it though. Hope you enjoy your meal there next month. And good luck in the race!
What an action packed update!! I am glad I had dinner before reading this as I would be totally starving. Oh gosh I am so sorry you to take care of you buddy, at least he was in good hands.
Writing these reviews always make me hungry!
Thank you. It was unpleasant, but at least we took care of him and kept him off the road.
