I spy an éclair

Finally, we found something you like!

 

[seahawk7]

You do. We all ordered the orange eclair.
It actually wasn't bad. Certainly better than their yucko, wet cupcakes, that's for sure.

Speaking of their desserts, should I try their grey stuff? I have never had it and I have gone to BOG multiple times.

 

[seahawk7]

And, we never ended up doin' any shoppin', today. Maybe tomorrow, or Sunday. Who knows. We're just enjoyin' the chill time.
DWifey is sleeping so much better, and so much less stressed, since she told them to take their job and shove it. So very happy I could help with that.

I love hearing you talk about your wife. It sounds like you treat each other really well. It's nice to hear.

We go back every trip. Next trip, we will be going back twice. There just are not that many decent options within MK, and especially in winter when there are limited hours, we don't want to leave to go to the resorts. They revamp the menu periodically, so I believe they'll continue improving it.

As far as the desserts go, that really doesn't bother us. Half the time, no one gets dessert. We prefer fabulous appetizers, which is what BOG has. Usually we get dessert later. And usually dessert is a pastry. Or key lime pie from Beach Club Marketplace for me.

Will you make sure to post the new, if any, policies they have for the lunchtime? I know it might change by May but it would be nice to see if the are not allowing people to stand in line.

Yep, different strokes for different folks. We were just not impressed.
On the other hand, T-Rex gets panned all the time, and they still have one of my all-time favorite meals on WDW property. The Triassic Trio.
Bay scallops in a cheesy sauce, grilled shrimp skewers, and steak...

I will second that. They have one of my favorite salads on property. Cute story or at least it might be: we went to the gift shop there and we started to do a version of build a bear that is with a dinosaur. But by the time we had built it and were filling out the birth certificate, I had grown attached! So my great niece never received it because I kept it for myself.

We got in on stand-by two weeks ago.
Showed up around 2:00, waited less than 5 mins.
By the time we were done eating, the place was almost empty, and I felt very comfortable walking around taking pics without bothering anyone.
Pretty sure I mentioned it at the time, but Hubby made me take photos of the "carpet on the wall".

And darn it all, I missed my chance at an early night.

 

[seahawk7]

You are a great mom! I know it was your daughter's idea and you went along wih it! I give you a lot of credit!!!

I second that. To put up with him for your daughter is very very very nice of you.

 

[seahawk7]

I wanted to go. I'm alright going back or not!

I think they've changed up the menu multiple times already and replaced some items that they were having problems getting right, I believe the steak sandwich was one of them. Can't wait to see what they do for breakfast come March.

What?! They serve breakfast?

 

[seahawk7]

Can't wait to see what ya picked!

We are trying to see if we can move our trip up 5 days so my daughter can go longer. We knew this might happen. We should find out this week but I am going to see about a breakfast reservation for BOG as soon as I log off here. I will keep you guys posted and any input you have will be welcome.

I just saw your post of taking cough syrup and I felt bad that you haven't able to sleep yet. I know how that is I too have a hard time sleeping.
Thank you for the info about getting in stand-by. I do remember your posts about getting in now that you mention it. I wonder what it will be like in May?

The day was horrible. The ex showed up extremely late (and had already drank half a bottle of Crown Royal) then decided he was grilling the 16 lb turkey. He forgot to tell me to start making the other fixins before the turkey was done (because he finished the bottle of CR) so at 9 pm we had the turkey, a can of green beans and microwaved potatoes. Never again.

Awful. Struggling here to keep my comments G-rated on this family forum. Sorry to hear that you and your lovely daughter experienced an unhappy Thanksgiving Day. You both deserve far better than that. (I have faith that Christmas will turn out much nicer for the both of you.)

That has to be the post of the day right there.

 

[MinnieM123]

This is my Day After Restaurant, Low Key Glutton Day Feast. Everything served in plastic ware so it can go right in the fridge and we eat on Chinette.

I like your style--a feast after the feast! (But, watch out for Walter . . .)

Feast made us lazy

Ha! I was just thinking about how many times that scene repeated itself, in thousands of households, all over the country!

Reminds me a little of when I was a kid at home. After the big meal, it was my tradition to just crash on the dining room rug, unable to move with all that food inside of me! I hung out there for an hour or so, until my mother announced that the pies were ready to be served. That would snap me out of my floor stupor, and I'd pony up to the table for round 2.

What we bought today...

Oops. I tried to reply in the message above, but somehow messed up. Let's try this again, shall we?

O.k. So, not being the brightest bulb on the tree, I have to ask, what is this? I feel goofy for being the only one here who doesn't know what you bought. It looks a little like my digital alarm clock, but I'm sure that's not what you bought!

I second that!

 

[MinnieM123]

Although, I know the space program isn't the most pressing thing right now, and nor should it be, I can't wait to see this puppy come online...

Wow! That is certainly uplifting. (Get it?? A silly pun!! Can you stand me??!! )

 

[MinnieM123]

@seahawk7 , how was your Thanksgiving? Did you enjoy any special vegetarian casseroles, etc.? I love hearing about food--all kinds of food!! Hope you and your child had a great day.

I had a very peaceful Thanksgiving, thank you. I enjoyed all the fixins minus the turkey. In place of it I had a broccoli and spinach souffle. It was yummy, but the best dish served was my Seahawks winning that night!
