On to the Round-Up!
Mickey Fix
has some awesome Disney Character Salt and Pepper Shakers for us today. The Sneezy/Pepper Combo has to be my favorite!
WDW For Grownups explores three of their favorite Family-Style Breakfast Spots.
Sippy Cup Dad cooks up a fun and delicious BB-8 Droid quesadilla recipe, based upon the new droid we’ll meet in Star Wars: The Force Awakens!
Eater.com features an interview with the woman who has eaten in every single Disney World restaurant (save one) — our own AJ Wolfe!
Main Street Gazette offers a closer look at the African Milk Tart at Harambe Market that has me craving one for breakfast.
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
AJ, I have to know: what’s the one restaurant you haven’t eaten at? 🙂
Where, oh where, did you get that German Chocolate cake?!
Isn’t the fries with brown gravy and cheese curds just poutine, national dish of Canada?
DebC — You would think so, but many Canadians would disagree. Every time I write about poutine here on the blog I always include a qualifier since something about every “poutine” dish in Disney (even the ones served in Canada) gets it a little bit wrong when it comes to authenticity. 🙂
Jan — That’s from Carnation Cafe in Disneyland.
Sandy — I’m not saying publicly, since I have nothing against the restaurant itself; it’s just that something ALWAYS comes up every time I have a reservation to go there! It’s so frustrating! 😉 Email me and I’ll tell you!
