Introduction
Hi Everyone!
A short introduction before my actual dining reviews...
I just got back from a 10 day trip to the World. It was just me and my sister for 10 days of (mostly) heavenly bliss. We were there January 19th to the 28th.
My name is DeeDee (Lies! It's actually Yehudit which is like Judith or Judy) and my sister is Shira. 'Shira' means song in Hebrew.
I'm 31, divorced, no kids, the oldest of four siblings. Shira is almost 17 and the youngest in our family. We have two brothers in between so we're pretty close despite the age difference.
I'm a Disney freak and she's not but I'm hoping it'll grow on her.
This is us!
That's me on the right, Mickey ears and all. Shira's the one carrying the good camera which I never ever used for food pictures because I'm weird like that.
Our dad's American, mom's Israeli so it's a colorful mix of cultures and languages.
We both live in Jerusalem, Israel- the Holy Land, aka The Land of Kosher Food.
I no longer keep kosher but Shira is somewhere in between. She tried to avoid pork, shellfish and in general preferred not to mix meat and dairy. We did our best.
My last visit was a week long trip with my cousin in October 2013. Back then we got the free dining deal and I loved it so of course I went ahead and paid for it this time around.
No, we didn't really spend our credits wisely and yes, I probably could have saved some if I hadn't insisted on the DDP but would I do it again? You bet! (We're talking the regular DDP, yes?)
I love knowing that it's already paid for and not thinking twice about getting the most expensive item on the menu. It just adds to the Disney magic for me and I have no regrets.
Also, I had gastric banding surgery a few years ago and though I don't look it, I actually lost quite a lot of weight. (Aaaand of course gained some of it back... )
I'm mentioning this because the surgery has totally altered my eating habits. I can't usually just grab a snack on the go. Every bite has to be taken into account, I have to chew slowly, have to drink with my meal, can barely eat breakfast ( ) and in general got used to eating my food cold because I'm so slow.
This made me think twice about late ADRs, snacks and some other stuff which I'll probably mention later on.
This is a list of the main places we ate at:

- Everything Pop
- Cosmic Ray's
- Be Our Guest (lunch)
- Casey's Corner
- Les Halles Boulangerie Patisserie
- Biergarten

- Electric Umbrella
(Darn time difference. We're 7 hours ahead of New York if that helps anyone figure it out.)
I hope you'll join me! See you soon!
P.S. You believed me when I said this was gonna be short, didn't you? Fools.
