Luke’s breakfast looks so delicious! I have had Tonga toast several times and it is so good. The Captain Cook serves a cheaper one but no strawberry compote and you are right, that makes it!
Oh it was. Kona Cafe breakfast I make it a must do every time we go even though Fallon pretends it doesn't bother her to be dragged along to her 4th favourite meal. 5th fave meal if you count the potato chips she eats as soon as she gets home from work.Luke’s breakfast looks so delicious!

We had never gotten a refillable bucket until our December trip last year, and it was pretty good deal! Especially when you can fill it up with that flavored popcorn!The best part about these refillable buckets is the lid – we were able to snap the lid on, and finish it later in the day!
That is amazing in itself! I don't think I have seen it that way.We were able to walk directly into La Cava del Tequila without any wait or lineup,
Yum!El Diablo – altos reposado tequila, muddled jalapenos and cucumbers, fresh lime juice, agave nectar. Served on the rocks with hibiscus salt rim, $

I feel like Ohana is becoming a little bit of hit or miss on whether the meat will be cooked properly. Although I will say the redder the better the meat is for me! Glad they were willing to cook some to your liking!
Hey there Mama! Nothing like getting a dining report restarted after over a year. Have you been busy doing something
So good to see you back and reliving our EPIC trip. It seems like a lifetime ago now and I think we'd all give anything to be back!
Happy New Year to you, Luke and that adorable baby!
We've never done Trattoria al Forno but it looks so good. I know Ariane has been a few times post-covid and has been raving about the food as well. We aren't character meal people so secretly hoping they aren't back whenever we go next. Blasphemy I know but I'm all about the cheaper price tag
Oh, I’m just loving your trip down memory lane! It all looks delicious and so much fun! I can vouch for that fun. We were in Epcot on the same weekend and have the Minnie’s Garden Party pins, photos etc to prove it. I can’t for the life of me, though, understand how we managed to miss a cake that cute! I find that I’m sighing over food and trip reports an awful lot these days. Especially, over a report this familiar!Epcot Flower and Garden - May 3, 2019
We had read that there was a special Minnie’s Garden Party event in the Odyssey building just for the weekend (May 2-6, 2019), featuring a specialty dessert, free celebrations pins, a meet and greet with Minnie and a flower wall for selfies. The building typically sells Flower & Garden festival merchandise along with a few food offerings for the festival.
We decided to check it out, and received the free celebration pins as we entered. It was really quiet when we were in there, and there wasn’t a single person in the food line so bought one of the special desserts being offered for four days only (none of the regular food offerings in here interested us). Look at how gorgeous this is (and how cute the free pins were)!
Just because it’s the prettiest dessert ever, here’s another picture of it:
This was sold as Minnie’s Garden Party Dessert – $7 according to the sign, with no description provided. The bottom layer was a carrot cake base topped with cheesecake and the dome on top was filled with whipped cream. The flowers, dome, bow and ears were all made with white chocolate, and the ears were topped with sugar crystals. This isn’t the best picture, but here’s what it looked like inside:
The dome housing the whipped cream was quite hard and difficult to break through, so we just tipped it over and scooped the whipped cream out. Neither one of us really care for white chocolate, so we didn’t eat many of the decorations past a little nibble (the sunflower, ears, etc.). But the flavours of cheesecake and carrot cake worked so well together! I wish this was served as a dessert all the time somewhere on property, I’d be all over that – and I don’t need all the frilly details that make this so pretty! Just give me a straight piece of carrot cake topped with classic cheesecake and I’d be very happy!
I’m definitely glad we tried this, it was exactly the sweetness we were craving by this point of the day. It wasn’t huge, but it was a good sharing size since we didn’t want to ruin our supper.
Total Food Cost for this Trip: $428
Yay!! I had almost forgotten about that. I was SO excited that you came to join us and that we were able to chat a little before dinner. I agree, 'Ohana isn't a must for me, but the company that evening couldn't be beat!! Although I wish I had more time to talk to everyone.Luke and I ubered over to the Poly from OKW, and met up with Ariana (@Pluto0809 ) and Jackie (@missjackiemcg ), who were outside at the Tiki Terrace enjoying a pre-supper drink.
Liesa has the video of this in her TR from the trip. It made me cry!! I just love how all my "internet friends" (as Rob calls them!) were able to make celebrating my birthday so special!Both Jackie (@missjackiemcg ) and Liesa (@Steppesister ) were celebrating birthday's on this trip, so at one point we all sang to them <3
I can see how you could get your steak dry alot, if you ask for it cooked well done.– I like to ruin my beef by asking for it well done. This was cooked perfectly, not dry at all.
Luke had the right idea!!!! I LOVED this!!! And is really the reason I want to go back here for breakfast!Luke went for King Triton’s Shipwreck al Forno – calzone with scrambled eggs, bell peppers, salumi, bacon, sausage, blend of cheeses, Sunday Gravy.
See, I thought it was because they were worried people would steal the fork..but the server stands there while you take a picture and then they take the trident back with them immediately. I’m sure it’s for safety, that thing looks like it could hurt someone.
I think before covid, they had a seperate area for dinners who wanted to not meet the characters. We aren't really big character meals anymore either, but I think this is one we would go to again. Meeting Princes somehow is more fun... Or at least Flynn Rider is fun..We've never done Trattoria al Forno but it looks so good. I know Ariane has been a few times post-covid and has been raving about the food as well. We aren't character meal people so secretly hoping they aren't back whenever we go next.
I would totally go again for $21!looked it up, and the meal I had at Trattoria is currently available for $21 since there are no characters right now! Most of the other breakfast options are only $15 right now!
I kind of love that you have your snacks in the picture for some reason! I am also with Luke again on his food selection, I love the key lime pie on a stick as well!
