    Thanks so much! I'll give them a call. And I'll be on the lookout for the rest of your trip report . . . Even though I know writing that "departure day" one has to be a bummer!

    Comparing Toledo v. California Grill

    We actually have been to Jaleo and absolutely loved it! Such great flavor combinations . . . I expected the flat iron steak and croquetas to be delish, but who knew endive with goat cheese and oranges was amazing?? :rainbow: Thanks for the recommendation on Bull and Bear. I'm thinking we're...

    SSR Lovers and Owners Part 3

    I feel like this is a super random question, but here goes . . . we're headed to SSR with wonderful friends and there will be a total of 7 of us (4 40-somethings and 3 teenagers) in a 2 bedroom. We've opted for the dedicated 2 bedroom standard because that gives us more "real beds" but I hate...

    Comparing Toledo v. California Grill

    Thanks so much for sharing about Bull & Bear! Based on your recommendations I just watched a YouTube review with the Caesar, fried chicken and the lemon. Holy smokes that all looks AMAZING! What a great tip! We hadn’t had any luck getting a reservation via Open Table for our February trip but...

    Comparing Toledo v. California Grill

    Yep … I think the big takeaway here is that Toledo is a wonderful experience! For us, it’s definitely feels worth putting in “the rotation.” I love it when a “let’s give this new place a whirl” turns out so we’ll. P.S. Absolutely love all your reviews! I’m gotten such great info through your...

    Comparing Toledo v. California Grill

    Yikes! Hmmm…maybe what we experienced was a timing thing as much as a new menu thing. Either way, it soured us on CG. We hadn’t been to Coronado in years but the new Tower was very beautiful. Love the lobby!

    Comparing Toledo v. California Grill

    Well we've only been going there for the last decade or so, so you've got us beat! I wouldn't be too nervous. We still had a nice evening . . . CG's just fallen from grace with us. I'm sure you'll have a good time and, with any luck, our bad experience was just a fluke. Honestly, having a...

    Comparing Toledo v. California Grill

    I know exactly what you mean. For us, Toledo definitely scratched that “top floor” itch.

    Comparing Toledo v. California Grill

    This is certainly not a proper dining review, but I find (mostly lurking on) these forums to be so helpful and wanted to share some info from our recent trip that might benefit others. I haven't seen many reviews on California Grill since they went to the prix fixe menu and I've seen even fewer...

    ****Official Thanksgiving 2020 Thread****

    Maybe??? But it makes so little sense. For example, we're staying at OKW, but right now, I can't get a reservation at Olivia's on Thanksgiving day at all -- which seems crazy town. Not that I really want Olivia's -- just saying that seems bizarre. I'm hoping it's a glitch of some kind and...

    ****Official Thanksgiving 2020 Thread****

    For what it's worth, I can't make a Thanksgiving day ADR at Sanaa either. Tried a few other resort restaurants just to test -- Whispering Canyon since you saw the issue there, California Grill, even Olivia's -- and got the same message. Park and DS restaurants were available to book, so...

    Pre-EPCOT breakfast recommendations

    My ADR day is this week and it’s definitely on my list! Hope you enjoy! Exactly what we’re thinking. Late park opening = perfect excuse for a big breakfast. Or brunch!

    This is something I really want to try!

    Pre-EPCOT breakfast recommendations

    How about Ale and Compass? Dark chocolate cherry waffles ... salted Carmel apple French toast ... and fresh squeezed mimosas. Yum.

    Making Lemonade from Lemons.

    You have such a talent! Thank you for sharing your wonderful photos! I especially love the black and whites of Everest. I’m a big fan of “deep cut” Disney art and decor and I can totally see doing a series of those gallery wall style. Really lovely.

So sorry you had to pull the plug on such a special trip. First world problems and all, but I know it stinks! For healing purposes, I recommend you start...
