We were impressed! I thought it would be crap lol!That sounds like a good breakfast!
Oh that stinks, but it would do the same for me. I don't plan on going back anytime soon - our next trip with any kids is Dec and so far nobody has asked to eat there lol - and the only way we'll go back is if someone requests. But at least I know if we do end up there it won't suckYay a new update! I used to love RFC, but then ate at the one at Paris Disney and it was terrible, which put me off on it. Glad that it worked out for your trip though.
I knew someone was a fan! That's why I knew I wanted to try it!OMG! I too am a huge fan.
Ugh I know,I hate when places take super popular stuff off their menu - it makes no sense! Just hoping the queso is still there in Sept. and yes they better not take away those TL nachos OR the dip at GP!The only thing I don't get about our beloved JL, is WHY do they keep taking everything I love off the menu????? I sure do miss those nachos...They better not take them off the menu at Territory Lounge as those are pretty delish too.
OMG PLEASE get to Jock's next month! I would do this one again on our Sept trip if they were having it but they aren't due to the 6am openings and I doubt they'll have it over NYE but it's definitely worth the costWhat a fun day so far! I've never done EMM before, but really need to think about that for a future trip. Also something I haven't done? Jock Lindsays Get it together Tracy
You handled this much better than I. I would have been livid at least at Chris. Of course that is probably just every day with ChrisAnd there went the $$ we paid for both of them
Me in my rock in fact had not seen this. Adorable!!!; oh and for any of you that have been living under a rock for the past 8 months and haven't seen pics of the holiday decor in TSL, here:
That is a whole lotta fried going on right there. Not sure I could stomach that pre 9 am, but it does look good.
I admit I wasn't really in the mood for chicken at 8:50 in the morning as I'm a huge breakfast food person but the potato barrels, donuts and yes even the chicken were all delicious! I mean it was like being at RFC all over again with the surprise lol. Steve ordered this:
But this looks much better. When we were in North Carolina last week I got to have grits for breakfast twice and they were so good. The good Italian in me prefers polenta, but love me some grits too.
I have tried grits once and never will again (sorry southerners!) but he likes them, loved these, and as a side note Chris tried grits for the first time in Disney earlier this month and is now a fan too.
I haven't tried this one yet. I'll have to give it a while.I got my Jock's go-to:
Cool-headed Monkey
Starr African Rum, Van Der Hum Tangerine Liqueur, fresh Lime Juice, Watermelon, and Pineapple Juice
Now this one I did have. It was too sweet for me which I'm going to guess guarantees you'll like itI also want to try the Reggie's Revenge:
Reggie's Revenge
Florida Cane 'Orlando Orange' Vodka, Midori Melon Liqueur, White Cranberry Juice, and fresh Lime Juice
I'll have to check out their new menu as I wanted to try this. I had no idea it had been changed around so much.
OMG why???? Anyway I can't find a full description but these were Nang Tao popcorn chicken bites with spicy popcorn and boy, if anything spicy ever stood up to its name it's these things, including the popcorn! Chris and I love spicy but our mouths were BURNING. Luckily I had that cool headed monkey to help.............................
We loved Jock Lindsays the first time we went there. Then they took off our favorite whatever it was and we have no desire to go back. The queso was good, though. They also took my favorite salmon sandwich from Geyser Point, the edamame from Territory Lounge (at least the had to good sense to have it at Geyser Point), the wilderness salad from Roaring Forks, the turkey dinner from the lunch menu at Liberty Tavern, - so many things - why do I even go to WDW.I hate when places take super popular stuff off their menu - it makes no sense! Just hoping the queso is still there in Sept. and yes they better not take away those TL nachos OR the dip at GP!
Well I kind of just left the livid out of the report.....we both said a few choice words in reference to our youngest on the way to HS.You handled this much better than I. I would have been livid at least at Chris.
Of course that is probably just every day with Chris
I know, that's why I left the chicken Youknow I can do sweet pretty much anytime but I can't do some of those huge croissant donuts they've had in certain places at certain times loaded with chocolate and stuff; I do have a limit before say 10:30amThat is a whole lotta fried going on right there. Not sure I could stomach that pre 9 am, but it does look good.
Ah yes, now I remember where I saw the review of this! And yup, you saying it was too sweet made me think it'll be perfect for meNow this one I did have. It was too sweet for me which I'm going to guess guarantees you'll like it
Well this was a depressing comment ha ha but I get it. In addition to taking things off Jock's menu they removed the lobster mac n cheese Ricky loved at Narcoossee's and the key lime pie I fell in love with at Citricos. I'm sure if I think hard enough I can remember more but I don't want to!We loved Jock Lindsays the first time we went there.

Do not jinx this!!!!!!At least they still have the Magic Bar.
Can you guy the cups?!?! And I think it's the Tangerine Liqueur and lime juice that make it so good!I got my Jock's go-to:
Cool-headed Monkey
Starr African Rum, Van Der Hum Tangerine Liqueur, fresh Lime Juice, Watermelon, and Pineapple Juice
I don't think I need to tell you what Steve got..........
I LOVE the cool headed monkey and told Steve next time we go I want to buy the cup! But now I also want to try the Reggie's Revenge:
Andy and I had this last October. It was called Popcorn Chicken... I liked it alot. And fun. But yeah, I think it is gone now. They seem to like to change the menu alot here.
OMG why???? Anyway I can't find a full description but these were Nang Tao popcorn chicken bites with spicy popcorn and boy, if anything spicy ever stood up to its name it's these things, including the popcorn! Chris and I love spicy but our mouths were BURNING. Luckily I had that cool headed monkey to help.............................
YEAH!!! We love doing these. It is just fun to pick out the stuff and watch them make it!
I'd talked about making your own treats at Goofy's Candy Company forever but we never seemed to get there, and after me bringing back the the rice krispie treat I'd made there earlier in the trip they were bent on doing it. It's fun to watch your creation being made and even more fun to eat them! Ricky ended up finishing his that night but we had to leave half of Chris's behind when we moved resorts the next day. But they were happy to have done it and I'm always happy to give them something new to do in Disney!
I know you can buy the monkey one because they've asked me if I want it so I assume you can buy any specialty cup thereCan you guy the cups?!?
I thoroughly enjoyed eating my rice krispie treat I had made until Chris ate the rest lol. Makes sense the apple may not be a credit since it's bigger; we haven't done the DDP in years so I'm just not up on what all is a snack credit and what's not other than that some things there are.YEAH!!! We love doing these. It is just fun to pick out the stuff and watch them make it!
it's a great snack credit item! You can get the marshmellow or rice krispee with 1 snack credit. I don't think the apple counts, as it is more $$.
Always mid-trip Steve decides to get a bit healthy so he ordered a salad
Here's where the sadness set in. This was formally a very close tie for Chris as his favorite filet in the WORLD, Narcoossee's being the other one. I also had this one at the top of my list. Unfortunately neither of ours were good this time at all. They were cooked medium as we requested but the meat wasn't tender and the seasoning just wasn't......the same. We both actually left meat and that's rare for Chris; the potatoes were the star here.
Just trust me when I say the entrees were not good and had gone seriously downhill since our last visit which was only about 8 months prior.
The macaroon was absolutely delicious; the lemon and raspberry flavors go so well together.
If I had it my way though we would be able to order any of the 3 and I think all of us would have chosen the macaron.
Chris did request it for your Dec. trip but I conveniently did not book it
And it's sad because I feel TS in the MK is severely lacking and this used to be a decent choice.
After that we took this cute family pic that surprisingly everyone was on board with standing in line for:
Yes, a lot to be happy for, for sure. Still sending hugs to you all for the loss of Steve's mom. But as you said, she's in a better place now.As many of you know we've had a rather big couple of weeks; some good some bad.
He should really learn to just power through. Vacations (and life) are for eating the good stuffAlways mid-trip Steve decides to get a bit healthy so he ordered a salad:
Ugh. What a bummer! I've only ever been to BOG for lunch shortly after they opened. Someday I'll get back, but it like won't be for dinner... especially not after this "glowing" reviewJust trust me when I say the entrees were not good and had gone seriously downhill since our last visit which was only about 8 months prior.
That looks and sounds absolutely nothing like the description. Poor Steve. But at least it was healthyI do spy some goat cheese that may or may not have had too much to drink but obviously there is no hazelnut brittle or asparagus to be found so they clearly have changed the salad since Nov. Probably not a bad thing as Steve wasn't happy with his greens and said it was way too overdressed.
Oh I would have so devoured this. Chicken liver pate and chicken liver mousse are some of my favorite things on this planet.Chicken liver pate aside (I left that for Steve) this was really good and all were a nice size. The chorizo was especially a standout.
Oh that is a big drop in quality. Poor Chris. You in Steve should try Jiko in August or September. My filet there was ah-maz-ing!!!!Here's where the sadness set in. This was formally a very close tie for Chris as his favorite filet in the WORLD, Narcoossee's being the other one. I also had this one at the top of my list.

We both actually left meat and that's rare for Chris; the potatoes were the star here.
That really is too bad. How do you elevate yourself to signature status and then make the food go downhill???? I know you all have liked this but it really was a one and one for us and that was when it first opened!!!Just trust me when I say the entrees were not good and had gone seriously downhill since our last visit which was only about 8 months prior.
Glad to see dessert remedied the meal slightly. But poor Chip. He's almost too cute to eatThis ended up being the best part of the meal after my app and my wine! The macaroon was absolutely delicious; the lemon and raspberry flavors go so well together. The dark chocolate truffle was good too if you like dark chocolate which I do; nobody else really liked it but that's ok. The Chip cup is supposed to be mostly white chocolate with the grey stuff inside. that tasted the same it's ok - and the cup did have nice, sweet white chocolate flavor.
This may be one of my favorite picture of you all. I love how all of the boys are looking at you. Its evident who they did this picture for ♥MK had late EMH tonight and we were going to stay for a bit so we watched HEA from right outside BOG. After that we took this cute family pic that surprisingly everyone was on board with standing in line for:
Well you're both better than me because I say screw it before we leave the house!Steve is much better than I am. About mid-way through the trip is when I usually have a screw-it moment and decide to eat whatever I please.
It really is; very big disappointment. But life goes on and so do our Disney trips right? We just have to find new places to love!This is so unfortunate. Especially with the price/credit increase.
Thank you! Every once in awhile they do something nice for me!This is such a great photo!
It was almost a friggin year ago! I will never let myself get this far behind on a report again it's pretty hard to remember crap at my age I'm getting on my July 4th TR asap!This trip seems like a lifetime ago.
Yes it wasI’m not a huge fan of BOG anymore either and I don’t see us returning either. But, I will say breakfast with you and Steve was lovely.❤
Ugh who knows, it's super rare that I have a bad piece of filet. But it was not tender at all and had no taste to it sadly; previously it was melt in our mouth.How do you ruin filet mignon? It is usually the one guarantee of having a good entree.
We had a 1 bedroom! We did like the room, a lot actually. Lots of space, the boys did share the pullout but having our own bedroom is always a plus and the living area is roomy enough that the boys could spread out when not sleeping. We also really liked the QS there and ate there I think 3 or 4 times? Walking to DS is nice too although we only did it once.By the way, how did you like SSR? Did you have a deluxe studio?
They are! At least we ended with something good!What a bummer meal at BoG! I have heard quite a few negative reviews with the menu changes!
The dessert are so darn cute!
That's how I feel! Every time we're close to a vacation and I tell myself to watch what I eat so I can eat what I want when we're away - I just continue to eat what I want at home AND away lol!He should really learn to just power through. Vacations (and life) are for eating the good stuff
I'm glad you guys liked yours! Like I said we LOVED it on our like, 8 trips before the change. We didn't have baguettes but they'd been talking about changing the bread so you were lucky and went after they changed that at least! It's possible the filet just wasn't the same as before and that's what disappointed us but Chris is like a 13 year old filet connoisseur lol and he wouldn't finish his.That's a shame that you didn't really enjoy BOG! I wonder if they changed their menu after you went because our meal was really good in March! The bread was baguettes and our steaks were really good!
Yeah you won't eat mushrooms but you'll eat a liver and I'M the weird one????Oh I would have so devoured this. Chicken liver pate and chicken liver mousse are some of my favorite things on this planet.
I totally do want to go there now! If not August I think we'll definitely get there in Sept for sureOh that is a big drop in quality. Poor Chris. You in Steve should try Jiko in August or September. My filet there was ah-maz-ing!!!!
I remember your dislike lol; but didn't the same thing happen with Le Cellier? I know the reviews aren't always bad but when they went to 2 credits people started saying the food wasn't as good and you do get more negative reviews for it than most other signatures. They should just up the prices and leave the food/status alone actually!That really is too bad. How do you elevate yourself to signature status and then make the food go downhill???? I know you all have liked this but it really was a one and one for us and that was when it first opened!!!
This may be one of my favorite picture of you all. I love how all of the boys are looking at you. Its evident who they did this picture for ♥
thank you for reading! Getting this one done slow and steady!Enjoying your report, thank you!
Thank you on all points; so strange to go from such a high to a low so quickly but we're getting through, and back to focusing on the goodCongrats on the baby and the knee!
I'm sorry about your MIL.
I had wanted that pictures for awhile and was surprised the boys agreed! I'm happy with the way it came out. Dessert is often what I consider the most important and I can be happy with great apps and a great dessert, but when you are expecting an awesome entree too it's a real letdown!I love your lantern picture of your family!
It's a bummer that Be Our Guest has gotten so lackluster lately. I'm glad you liked the desserts since that's obviously the most important part of the meal.
