Sunday, August 21st, 2011What I ate at Walt Disney World (Part 3, final part, I promise!)
Tuesday, July 19th, 2011Ok, time to wrap this up while I can still remember anything about what I ate or else I’ll have to start making stuff up. Let’s see, I ended last with the Rose & Crown pub, so the next afternoon we wandered over to the Grand Floridian again (I would love to stay there one day), we headed to…
What I ate at Walt Disney World (Part 2)
Sunday, July 10th, 2011When getting ready to write this post I realized I really didn’t take that many pictures of my food. I had planned to take pictures of all of my meals, because I like looking at the food porn picture people post on the various message boards, but when I actually got to WDW I only ended up taking pictures of a few. Next time I will have to be more disciplined in taking pictures before I dig in… or not.
What I ate at Walt Disney World (Part 1)
Tuesday, June 28th, 2011Since I really want to write something about my Florida trip before I forget anymore, I’ve decided to write about the sit down meals we had there.
In 2010 when Tal and I went to Walt Disney World we chose the Quick Service Dining plan. It gave each of us 2 snacks and 2 counter-service meals per day. With that plan we didn’t need to make any reservations, because we didn’t want to be tied to a schedule on our first visit. This time we knew there were a number of restaurants that we had seen last time and said we would like to eat at. So for this trip we had signed up for the Disney Dining Plan, giving us one table-service meal, one counter-service meal, and one snack per person per night booked. Anyway enough background, let’s talk about food!
Hostess Strawberry Cupcakes & 10 days to Walt Disney World! Which is more exciting?
Tuesday, May 3rd, 2011The other day while shopping in Wal-Mart I was excited to find these:
Hostess Strawberry Cup Cakes
Now that I look at the photo I’m doubting my ability to spell cupcakes. I’ve always thought it was “cupcakes”, but that box clearly shows “cup cakes”. No matter how you spell it the taste of these sucks. Hostess products never taste that great to begin with, I think it’s more the nostalgia factor that causes me to purchase them more than anything else. I had high hopes that strawberry cupcakes would taste ok, but they don’t. They smell very strongly of fake strawberry, almost like some horrible perfume. And I failed to taste even the smallest similarity to the strawberry flavor that Hostess used and a real strawberry.
Much more exciting is the fact that in 10 days Tal and I will be in Walt Disney World in Florida! We went there last year shortly after I had lung surgery and had a lot of fun. This time we will stay for longer and I won’t be still recovering and we will have even more fun. We’re even heading to Universal for one day to check out the Wizarding World of Harry Potter.
Here are some photos from last year’s trip:
I’ll share some pictures from this years trip when we get back!
