As am I!
LOVE!I was waiting for my first ever DISmeet with someone I now consider a very good friend and I cannot believe we met less than a year ago! I present myself and the beautiful Melinda a.k.a @pepperandchips :
I think for some people like my boys it's all in the name, "goat cheese"
but that app is so delicious! And as you know the restaurant itself is so pretty, you should definitely try it again!
I've never been to this restaurant but I've considered that and Spice Road Table many times but haven't committed. After this review, I think I need to add it to my list for next time!
And I took this neat picture of the WL waking up:
I love early mornings in WDW.I believe she's in Disney right now so hopefully when she's back she'll let us know! We had a really good time catching up; her daughter Kathy goes to college in Florida and is such a sweetheart! Hoping to run in to them in the next few days too.
Here's Tammy and I:
We started off with a ride on Living with the Land. I love the different touches they add for all the seasons and festivals and tonight was no exception! I don't remember ever seeing this though which was cute:
After it was over the kids left but Steve and I stayed back. I was waiting for my first ever DISmeet with someone I now consider a very good friend and I cannot believe we met less than a year ago! I present myself and the beautiful Melinda a.k.a @pepperandchips :
I needed a little happy infusion tonight so here I am back on your report “hanging out” with your family - as always, thanks for taking us along! Oh yes, Mr. Kamal’s is SO underrated. These fries were always a nice treat. I still miss the samosas but maybe they’ll rotate them back on.
She could have at least brought you two glasses, come on DSS!
It does look tempting and I am so jealous of this right now. All they need to include are tureens of mushroom bisque and I’d never need to stay anywhere else!
(Plays montage in my head of the things I like best about staying in a hotel, set to an upbeat pop cover of a Disney classic: peeling back crisp sheets on a bed made by someone other than me, playing the Stacey channel, cranking the AC down with wanton disregard for the electric bill, dipping ice from an ice bucket to enjoy a drink in bed, emptying my pump bottle of shower gel into the bottle I brought from home. Wait. Pretend you didn’t read that last one)
It would be so cute if they did a day after thanksgiving theme with like “leftover” turkey and cranberry sandwiches, pumpkin pastries, etc.
Because Disney has tons of amazing burgers and the QS ones are an abomination to cows across America?
Those are good! I haven’t had them in a long time. Wonder if you can get them without the mediocre sides for a few dollars less?
Yummmm! I wish I could find that huckleberry vodka here at home, but I guess it keeps it “special” that I can’t...
Well I messed up that quote but I quoted it to say we missed you Jenny!!!
Likewise waaaahAWWWW! Now, I'm a little teary-eyed...
I know, me too! I’m jealous you got to meet up with @Tracy161 but again, I’m sure it will work out one day!
Bahaha. Who needs the Osborne lights when these guys have Petri dishes and snowflakes!?
Not that I personally find anything wrong with wine or sangria or booze of any sort from a box, can, bag, or bottle of any sort...Their sangria on the other hand is some of the best in Disney! I'd had it on our first visit here a few years back and I guarantee @Jenny Sanders this is NOT from a box, can, or plastic bottle
I still miss those amazing Flying Fish mussels
but I like Ricky’s commitment to research.I heard about this on a dining review podcast and it looks amazing, I can’t believe we still haven’t tried this restaurant but now I certainly want to!You had me at kalamata olives
That doesn’t even seem possible that this wasn’t even a whole year ago. I’m glad to have “known” you through reports for much longer and to have many more lengthy meets since then
Awww, I certainly hope it'll work out, Melinda! We'll have to make sure it does
These are "Mr. Kamal's seasoned fries topped with tzatziki salad and sriracha ketchup" and unfortunately I believe they are no longer on the menu. I did find a review of them that said the tzatziki salad is a "saucy mix of cool tzatziki, cucumbers, and tomatoes." and that sounds right! These were absolutely amazing; the sriracha ketchup had such a kick to it and the seasoning on the fries was immense too. These were not for those who don't like spice but for those of us that do it was the perfect snack! Speaking of snacks...............
It was a great night!!!!
and the youngsters are a bid wild too! In case you need a refresher: that's @kastoney , @StarWarsMomofGirls! and @pepperandchips all up in there with us.
But this strange and wonderful group weren't the only ones we got to see again:
Oye! Last year of High School!!! That is crazy!!!I'm in no rush since it's his last year of high school
We did too
I got so excited when you texted back that you were heading to AK too! I wish we had more time but I bet our paths cross again sometime 
Especially if Ricky goes to Cortland!!!lol not surprised they're hard to resist! Did you like it? I think it's like the 2nd best Blood Mary I've had on property!And guess what? Shortly after we parted ways, I did go back and order a Bloody Mary
I've thought about Spice Road too especially since the view of Illuminations is supposed to be good from there but so far we haven't made it. Heard really good things though! But definitely try one next time you go, which will be when??????I've never been to this restaurant but I've considered that and Spice Road Table many times but haven't committed. After this review, I think I need to add it to my list for next time!
When we were all together in May (even before that) it felt like we'd known each other for years ❤That's crazy that that was less than a year ago! Great picture
You are always welcome to join the DeVizio's and so is "R" as he was truly missed! But we were SO happy to have you
OMG why have I never thought about this???? I need to write a letter to signature services STAT! Seriously though there's no reason why they can't have the soup there right?
This is heaven
I say as I make a note to bring any empty shampoo bottles I accrue in the next two weeks to"pump up". Because I can't refill lotions anymore, CAN I DISNEY 
I'll take "reasons not to eat in HS" for $500 Alex"
This happened to me with Schoffferhofer. I was buying it at home and it lost it's "specialness" so I stopped. Some things need to be ONLY Disney. Like how I can buy Laila at Nordstrom's if I want but it's not as much fun as buying it in Norway and hoping Gier is there to help me
Oh I'll drink it from any vessel you wanna give it to me in but you could tell this was like, Lord & Taylor sangria over Walmart sangria.
I just said here to Ariella that when we were all together - and even before that when we'd text etc - it honestly felt like we'd all known each other so much longer and that's absolutely the case for U-n-ME!That doesn’t even seem possible that this wasn’t even a whole year ago. I’m glad to have “known” you through reports for much longer and to have many more lengthy meets since then
As perfect as our Nov meal was when Steve and I went 2 months later it wasn't nearly as good unfortunately. But we'll be back and I do feel it's a solid choice!
It was and I'm so totally happy we got to be part of it
Ugh it's crazy, weird, unbelievable to a degree, scary and sad all at the same time! Do not wish time to go faster for the girls because I get sick whenever I think about my boy going away to college in 12 months.........................
Because I can't refill lotions anymore, CAN I DISNEY
I feel so understood right now!
Oooh la la!it's not as much fun as buying it in Norway and hoping Gier is there to help me
you are the best!
I was SO excited when I saw you were in AK as well! I wished we had had more time, but we'll definitely cross paths againWe did too
And yes... maybe not even always in Disney! Oh I LOVED it! I was so happy I grabbed one. I remember having to knock it back fairly quickly though, so I must have had a FP or something to get to
That's a darn good question! Right now I have reservations at Music in November... but it's possible I may have a job opportunity that may prevent that from happening...
I'm in that "will it or won't it happen" phase 
Bummer I had no idea these were gone. They were so good. Who would have known foods from France, Greece, and Thailand could plead so well.

RIP indeed. The one and only time we did CL was at WL and this was the best part about it. We ate it every single night and that was still not enough!
It doesn't look all that tempting here but this is the WL cobbler and they had it out pretty much every night; it reminded me of the cobbler they had at the former Artist Point (RIP AP)
Because who doesn't want salami with a little cranberry mayo first thing in the morning
Oh I love this. The Land is one of my favorites and Christmas the land! I can hear the jingle bells ringing nowWe started off with a ride on Living with the Land. I love the different touches they add for all the seasons and festivals and tonight was no exception! I don't remember ever seeing this though which was cute:
Not sure how I'd feel about the sugar either but everything else sounds greatBeef Brewat Rolls
Baked layers of thin pastry stuffed with season minced beef, fried and sprinkled with cinnamon and powdered sugar
Now this I would be all over. Olives and goat cheese should really just be their own food group in my mind.
You had me at kalamata olives
Wow, great meal! We only ever ate there once and had an ok experience but certainly not as good as you. May need to get back there in 2025 when we head back
YES! But wait, waitI just had the most diabolical idea. What would they do if I took my poor calloused/blistered feet and just lathered them up with the H2O tester in the resort gift shop before bed
Kinda wanna try this out. At like... the Grand.
First we get all dressed up fancy and go to V&A's and THEN we do the lathering of the feet with the tester! Perfect
It's easy to knock those back quick in the heat! It didn't take me long to finish mine either lolOh I LOVED it! I was so happy I grabbed one. I remember having to knock it back fairly quickly though, so I must have had a FP or something to get to
!That's a darn good question! Right now I have reservations at Music in November... but it's possible I may have a job opportunity that may prevent that from happening...
It was seriously the weirdest combination but man did it work and work GOOD! Yeah they're gone
They have like different dips or something now but nothing the same.#breakfastofchampionsBecause who doesn't want salami with a little cranberry mayo first thing in the morning
I would take a bowl of goat cheese with olives mixed in and be in heaven. Extra points if they're kalamata olives!
You do have to try it again but YOU LIE! Or you simply made a typographical error and meant to write 2020Wow, great meal! We only ever ate there once and had an ok experience but certainly not as good as you. May need to get back there in 2025 when we head back
Yes! And... come to think of it, maybe I didn't "have a FP to get to", maybe I just knocked it back to knock it back Thank you!!!That's a hard one.........the job opportunity is probably a great thing but of course we always want to put our Disney trips first! So whatever you want to happen is what i hope happens
Exactly. And either way, at this point, I just want to know so I can start making plans - some Disney-related, some not!
I used to LOVE this day but as they get older it's not stressful having them home all summer plus I get to sleep late with them. But this year I especially don't want the first day of school to come because it's Ricky's LAST first day of school before college and that makes me sad, excited, scared all at the same time not to mention making me feel old! So here's to all our kids having a wonderful school year whether they've started already or are starting next week ♥
ked out with daddy while watching one of her favorite movies, The Secret Life of Pets 2:
So on the subject of food let's get to our 2nd to last park day, the Saturday after Thanksgiving 2018! Our day up until dinner was like a mish-mosh of stuff so excuse this kind of all over post.
This is what we ended up with:
