Oh, wow, that is different than the other pictures I have seen. Does the Fantasmic PS still have cheese and crackers and fruit as well as the desserts and drinks, or is this what they serve now?

It does look very pretty still, and tasty I just want to be prepared.

That picture is from August 2007 so it might have changed but we were given that tray of desserts (no cheese and crackers) and all you can drink hot cocoa, coffee and soda.

Burrito and steak nachos from Tortilla Joes quick window. Both were very good!

I am so glad to see this!! It isn't often that I read about someone liking their Tortilla Joe's experience on this board. We have had 2 VERY GOOD experiences there - one at the takeout window and one in the dining room with a party of 10. The night we ate in the dining room, DH thought it was so good that he spoke with the manager for a few minutes - complimenting everything and trading "chef" secrets. Thank you for sharing!

I love Goofy's Kitchen for breakfast, but the desserts don't look that appealing. I know their b-day cupcakes are VERY dry. But Goofy's at breakfast is my FAVORITE of all the restaurants in DLR!

I ate at Taste Pilots Grill for the first time on our trip 2 weeks ago, and I just LOVE those fries! Looking at your picture reminds me of how soft those fries were, and how they reminded me of Ruffle's potato chips or pickle slices! I had the yummy BBQ chicken sandwich there, which was loaded with BBQ sauce but the chicken breast was not quite big enough to contain all that sauce or other toppings. A lot of bun and a lot of sauce but not enough chicken = sloppy, dripping mess!!!

That looks quite different from the desserts we were given the night we went.

Yep, that picture was from 2007. The dessert boxes that are given now look much different (and a lot bigger) Full of yummy stuff.

Back in 06 you got your seat, and they took your drink order, and you went and picked from a small but decent selection for riverside seating. We are doing the desert seating in march, so guess we will get to try the new one. I wonder if they will change any of it for the new promo.

I wish they would make veggie corn dogs!!!!

Me too!!!!

 

[Pooh'sTwin]

Well there is the cheddar cheese dog, which is not really strictly a veggie dog, it is meatless. hehe

 

[mareeld86]

OH YUM its only 12 days until i get there and i just cant wait for all the food all i really want is a caramel apple from pooh's corner though....

Just a bit of porn for you all. Red velvet cupcakes. Called Red Magic. The frosting isn't traditional though.

 

[momshadow]

Oh My Goodness, You just made me drool. But at $4.00 a pop they should be easy to resist for me anyway.

OK - those look really good! What exactly is a Red Velvet cupcake?? I've never seen them around here before. Just what I needed, one MORE thing I have to try

Red velvet cupcakes are an offshoot of full red velvet cakes. Red velvet cakes are very popular in the southern states of the US, especially. I have known a few southern folks who love their red velvet cake! They tend to be kind of dry for my liking, but they are pretty to look at. Very vibrant red when you slice into them. It is basically cake with a whole lot of food dye mixed in!! And they tend to have cream cheese frosting - at least the ones I have tried - so perhaps the ones at DLR have more of the regular cupcake frosting than the cream cheese kind.

In the movie "Steel Magnolias" (set in the South, like Lousiana or Georgia, not sure), Julia Roberts gets married and she has one cake for her and her female guests, but her dad wants an armadillo cake (just a cake made in the mold/shape of an armadillo) for the groomsmen. The armadillo cake is red velvet, so when you cut into it, it looks like a bloody armadillo!! Ick!

There is usually cocoa in it as well to assist turning the cake red.
