WDW Not Just or Kids Review: Whispering Canyon Cafe

August 29th, 2011 · No Comments

As you know, on my last trip I ate at Whispering Canyon Cafe.  As I am a vegetarian, I was unsure what options would be available.  The sauteed quinoa cakes from lunch are on the dinner menu.  I love quinoa and edamame, but I was not a fan of this dish.  My fries were good, [...]

WDW Not Just for Kids Review: Fresh-a-peel

May 16th, 2011 · 1 Comment

In December (man, I might want to actually re-start my trip report, huh), I had planned on checking out Fresh-a-Peel, the “healthy option” section of Pollo Campero in Downtown Disney.  These restaurants are located in the old McDonald’s area, and I was impressed by how un-McDonaldsy the place looked.  I was very excited to see [...]

Basic WDW info: Is the Disney Dining Plan Worth it?

March 5th, 2011 · 10 Comments

Is the Disney Dining Plan worth it? What if you’re a vegetarian? I started my lifestyle of adult trips in 2005, and was intrigued by the Disney Dining Plan (DDP). I really liked the concept of already paying for my meals ahead of time. However, I ended up using an AAA room discount, and as [...]

Jiko…

January 30th, 2011 · No Comments

So, despite my screwing up the ADR, I was able to try Jiko last month.  This was my first signature dining experience, and it did feel more upscale than say, Boma.  Getting a vegetarian menu (always the easiest way to win me over) was painless.  As I predicted,  I opted out of the entree and [...]

New ADR system…post-mortem

December 25th, 2010 · No Comments

So, what did I think of the new online ADR systems once I ate? To be honest, I’m pretty much meh. Remember how I checked “other” to indicate I was a vegetarian?  That was apparently the wrong thing to do.  As soon as the cast member seating me saw it, she immediately stated “Oh, you [...]

November 13th, 2010 · 1 Comment

And I have to admit, it looks like a surprisingly awesome place for vegetarians and vegans.  I knew Fresh a peel was going to be vegetarian-friendly, but I did not know that there was going to be a BabyCakes bakery there as well.  BabyCakes is a bakery which will feature cupcakes which are gluten, egg, [...]

Le Cellier Cheddar Cheese Soup-Vegetarianized!

October 17th, 2010 · No Comments

As you know, I’m a vegetarian; however, of of my all-time favorite Disney restaurants is LeCellier-their vegetarian option is always tasty, and I’m a fan of their Chocolate Moose.  If you spend any time in the Disney fan community, you may know that their cheddar cheese soup is very popular.  Tragically, this soup contains chicken [...]
