My parents aren't much in the way of foodies, lol, and it was such a short trip we didn't want to spend time doing a lot of sit-down meals, so we mostly did quick service.

The Boardwalk Bakery had yummy breakfast sandwiches. Restaurantosaurus has a great toppings bar. I enjoyed the cheese fondue in a bread bowl from the Bavaria festival booth and the lamb kefta from the Sapphire festival booth in Epcot. The Fairfax salad was quite tasty at Fairfax Fare in HS.

After my longer solo trip in Feb I'll have a lot more, and more exotic food reviews

DH and I were there for nine nights (POFQ), including Epcot (12/4), Animal Kingdom (12/5) and Magic Kingdom & MVMCP (12/6). It was our first time during the holidays. I love Magic Kingdom all decorated up. The castle lit up in the evening and the parade...just awesome!

Hmmm restaurantsaurus, never been there. Just looked at the menu. I’ll give it a try in June. Thank you! By the way I did a 2 week solo trip and loved it, have fun!

It was pretty good. Like I said, when I'm on my own I tend to do more 'exotic' foods, lol, but my burger was quite serviceable!

And thank you! I'm so excited for it! It will be my 3rd solo trip to the World, I always have such a great time.
