Kelli (05:57):
Kampot rock he when he goes out into the parks he

Disney and the Oriental LandCompany are partnering once
again. So the Oriental LandCompany is the Japanese based
company that actually owns andoperates the Disney parks in
Japan. Right. They're comingback together. Here's the
(07:19):
official announcement today, butwhen they announced it's been a
couple of weeks now, weannounced a new agreement with
the Oriental oriental LandCompany Limited that will bring
year round Disney cruisevacations to Japan. Quote,
Disney Cruise Line has ambitiousplans to bring family vacations
(07:40):
and Disney storytelling to moreguests around the world that
ever before said Josh dimauro,Chairman of Disney experiences.
I'm sure this will be in thehorizons thing that he talks
about. We are thrilled tocontinue the success of this
expansion as we collaborate withthe Oriental oriental Land
Company to introduce anotherdistinctly Disney vacation
experience to families and fansin Japan. Then said you make a
(08:04):
to Cano a representativedirector and chairperson and CEO
for the Oriental Land Company. Iam sincerely proud that Disney
and oriental land will be ableto work together to create a
world class cruise business inJapan. We will use their know
how from the theme park businessto continue pushing boundaries
and provide family entertainmentcruise experiences filled with
(08:26):
inspiration and surprise. Idoubt this thing gets launched
before next year. Like I thinkthey actually are going to
there's a new boat that'scurrently being built in Germany
now that will be the Japan ship.
And I don't think that's gonnahappen before we make it to
Japan. Right at least I hopenot. Because that means we've
(08:47):
gone to Japan pretty quickly.
Right? So you're still leaningtowards Japan for your we've
never really talked about thaton the podcast. But yeah,
Kelli (08:56):
I think they just announced it.
Chris (08:58):
I think that if some things that we're working on go
our way. Then I'm leaningtowards Japan for next year.
Kelli (09:06):
All right.
Chris (09:07):
I know. Very exciting.
Kelli (09:09):
Very exciting.
Chris (09:11):
GPT just playing a 14 day trip for scales.
Kelli (09:15):
I like that. It's 14 days.
Chris (09:17):
I like that too. Okay, how much time do I have left?
Oh, we got a little time here.
Okay. Disney grants, hassurprised seven local nonprofits
with a $500,000 grant each. Wow,
Kelli (09:34):
these nonprofits work with Disney or
Chris (09:37):
their various like the Boys and Girls, boys and girls
clubs and such. These are allFlorida based. Right? Right. And
they all had different missionsand things to accomplish. In
years past there was one my oneof these may two but there was
one that dedicated their theirwork to providing prosthetics
for children. Mm hmm. Right,right. So Yeah, this was really
(10:01):
cool. So the Boys and Girls Clubof Central Florida, Camp Boggy
Creek and I can't remember whatit is they actually do.
Children's Home Society ofFlorida, the Girl Scouts of the
citrus Council lift Orlandomarine Discovery Center and the
Orlando Science Center allreceived $500,000 grants. What
(10:22):
was really cool though, was thatthey invited them all to a show
back on July the 12th. Theyinvited them all to a show, like
representatives of these places,all to a show who could do like
a special here. We're gonnahonor you with this, this
special showing of the whoop deedoo review. That's fine. They
(10:42):
had no idea that we're going toreceive these
Kelli (10:43):
grants. Oh, wow. That's fine. How
Chris (10:47):
awesome is that? That's cool. Like you get to go. You're
having your meal. Oh, what anice thing. What am I seeing
they did for us? Oh, by the way,here's $500,000 Go see what you
can do with that. That's great.
I love that. So fantastic. Yep.
So that's all I had on the onthe things to discuss.
Kelli (11:05):
Yeah, okay. Well, I like I like where you went with the
grant. I'm,
Chris (11:09):
I'm I'm really through the Japan out there idea out
there to myself as itself. Yousaid I'd say go somewhere that
you've never been before foryour 50th because we've been
talking a lot about I turned 50Next year, then it's our 20th
wedding anniversary, I turn toturn 50 some things on the
(11:30):
agenda here planted out Yeah.
And it out. I set it to myselfand then I've been sleeping on
it to see if I still write intothe idea and it's been about a
week now and you're still stillstealing. I told it that I
wanted a couple of days at eachthe Disney Parks I told Chad GPT
Kelli (11:47):
Yeah, I think we you don't want to go to Japan and
then not have time to doeverything at the park. Oh,
Chris (11:52):
great. So what at least two days in each part? Yeah, I
wanted some cultural stuff.
There's that park there. We canfeed the deer, you know, right
out of your hand. I want to dothat. Some of the shrines that
are really cool. Want to seeKyoto, you want to
Kelli (12:05):
ride the train? And I wonder I had the bullet train?
Yeah, I want to ride that bulletsort of beyond just a Disney
trip. Yeah,
Chris (12:12):
but I want to go to the beaches. I've got some amazing
beaches in Okinawa. So I thinkI'd like to see those two
protocols. So I don't want towaste an opportunity to go to a
beach. Yeah, now that they areapparently so scarce in the
world. Beaches, beaches.
Kelli (12:27):
So I mean, I'll say to that, as we've been looking at
sort of some big trips comingup. We've also priced out Disney
cruises. Recently we have and Itold you, I was like either they
have decreased their pricing orother cruise lines have
increased their pricing to matchor we just didn't understand the
pricing. Or we didn't but I wasI was talking to a friend this
(12:49):
week, who's very into RoyalCaribbean, they go on a lot of
Royal Caribbean cruises, and shetold me Royal Caribbean has
definitely increased theirpricing. Oh, interesting. So I
think it's interesting thatDisney Cruise Lines is very in
line with most of the cruiseprices we've seen
Chris (13:06):
are like what we would typically have done in the past,
right?
Kelli (13:09):
And they listed all inclusive for the cabin on their
website. Whereas a lot of cruiselines listed per person. If you
do the math, if you do the math,it actually works out to be very
similar. And I know we've donethe math before it it didn't. So
Chris (13:24):
next year is looking very busy, but I am with you on the
idea that it would be nice totry to fit in at Disney
treasure.
Kelli (13:33):
Absolutely. I'm for it.
All right a percent. So planningsome fun trips coming up.
Chris (13:40):
I know so. Okay, so we're doing something to kind of fun.
This week, I'm Tomorrowland,your World Showcase. But we're
effectively we've got the sametopic. Yep. Today is two
national days that I'm going to,for the purposes of this say
(14:02):
near and dear to our heartsnational junk food day. And
National Ice Cream day. That'stoday. So I the 21st National
Junk Food Day National Ice Creamday. So what we did was, we said
okay, let's talk about the whatwould be considered junk food at
(14:23):
the Disney Parks Walt DisneyWorld. That's counter service,
right? This is your counterservice restaurant, although the
food is significantly higherquality typically. Right? And
what are the best ice creamplaces? Right. So I was going
through the lists, Disney foodblog was huge help on our ice
cream list. And Disney touristsblog was huge help on our
(14:44):
counter service list. Okay, andso I was going through and I
decided to take all the onesthat were new that I've not ever
been to right and you've got theones that are that we haven't
been to so you're gonna I'mgonna go through mine here for
Tomorrowland. All right.
Alright, I'm gonna start startwith the top junk food slash
counter service counter service.
(15:05):
Okay? It's such a nicer way tosay junk food it is. And
honestly, the food that theyhave is better than junk food
typically, right? Especiallysome of the ones you'll see us
talk about here. Okay, first andforemost, again, thanks to the
Disney tourist blog for thissegment, the ABC commissary.
Now, I have actually eaten therebefore, but my grandmother was
(15:28):
still alive and going to DisneyParks a long, long, long time.
And at that time, there were nota lot of other options to eat or
Hollywood Studios. So I will putthat on this list. And we hear
over and over and over again.
Yeah, how surprisingly good thefare is at the ABC commissary?
Kelli (15:47):
Well, I mean, every time we talk about things on their
menu, I'm like, this is such ablack horse like, yes, you just
you just don't see it coming.
Chris (15:55):
Yeah. And the restaurant just kind of comes across as
boring. You know, the look. It'snot a great thing. There but
that may have something to do.
Why we don't go there.
Kelli (16:08):
Yeah, well, I mean, there's just so many other
options that Hollywood Studiosnow there are
Chris (16:11):
all right, and then there's some that we love. Yeah,
right. Yeah. But all who dointer come out raving about
their food. And I know they hadone of the best plant based
burgers supposedly, supposedlyin all the parks. Think buffalo
grilled chicken. Buffalo Chickengrilled cheese, though. And you
(16:32):
can sell me on that pretty?
Yeah, pretty easily. Okay, primopiatto. At Riviera. This is a
quick service at reveres is downthere near where the pool is.
Strong and you serve breakfast,lunch and dinner. Riviera is
wonderful. So it's it's going tobe good. I'm sure it's the only
(16:52):
quick service place they havetheir they don't have like a
food court like some of theother places, right? Well, they
do have the coffee shop. Thatwill be a little coffee shop
with the pastries. Breakfastthat's just open for breakfast.
That's right. And it's mostlypastries and coffee and tea,
right. Yeah. I saw on the menuhere. Blueberry lemon pancakes.
Wow. And low fat sounds realgood.
Kelli (17:18):
Gosh, that sounds delightful. I can't
Chris (17:21):
wait to try that. They have frittatas on the menu. They
have a lemon ricotta cheesecake.
On the menu, which Yeah, thatspeaks to my that's one of my
love languages. lemon ricottacheesecake. Yeah. And also beef
bolognese. At a quick serviceplace. Yeah, no, that's
Kelli (17:38):
pretty straight. Yeah, that's nice.
Chris (17:40):
Okay. Columbia harbor house. This is reopened,
recently reopened. Again, thisis one that I went to probably
40 years ago. Right. It's notthe same restaurant. It was back
then there was lots of chickentenders. They had the Monte
Cristo sandwich, which is all mygrandma ever got there. But
(18:00):
consistently considered one ofthe best quick service locations
on the property. It's mostlyseafood, which does distinguish
it from a lot of the otherplaces. You're not gonna get
seafood at a counter serviceplace all that often. And like
lobster rolls, grilled salmonand things like that. It also
(18:21):
might offer the single bestescape from the park for a cool
restful spot. Because you go inthere and there's an upstairs.
And when you're walking fromfantasyland to Liberty Square,
you go underneath this isawning. The site looks like a
covered walkway. It does look alittle short covered walkway.
(18:43):
That seating up there for theColumbia harbor house. So they
get these great Windows you cansee down on the folks but it's
nice and cool. Yeah. All right.
And this one actually taught theoverall list for Disney tourists
blog in terms of counterservice, the polite pig. This is
a written dessert DisneySprings. I technically have
eaten there I had theirmeatballs with with grits.
They're all right. But there'sway more on the menu than that.
(19:07):
Yeah, this was actually theirtop pick overall. And they are
actually a winner. So theMichelin star people the people
give out the Michelin stars.
They they also will give outwhat they call bib gourmand
awards to places I say how dothey the winner of a bib
(19:29):
gourmand award. This honors goodquality good value restaurants
that is universally approachablebid garmont award winners are
those that deliver stellarquality at prices in line with
the local cost of living and sobig shocking that
Kelli (19:47):
anything at Disney got that? Let's just be honest,
Chris (19:51):
the food is expensive, it is expensive. So but the polite
pig won one of those awards fromwow so that speaks very high.
Elliot that's
Kelli (20:00):
fantastic. Yeah, and it's barbecue,
Chris (20:03):
which is also great. You love barbecue. Yeah,
Kelli (20:05):
absolutely.
Chris (20:06):
Okay, so now I'm moving on to the top ice cream places.
I gotta move pretty quick here.
All right. swirls on the waterat Disney Springs. They offer
dole whips, including specialtyand introductory flavors. You
can even get a dough withflight. Oh, that's a nice right
you get a little. You get likethree little three little
(20:26):
martini glasses filled withdifferent flavors. Cute. Yeah,
so swirls on the water atDisney's very cute. Both of our
lists here are going to be dealtwith centered early on. So
following that theme, the 10 to10 Mu refreshments at Animal
Kingdom. You can get doughwhips. There. This is in the
Africa location there. You canget dough whips here with
(20:51):
coconut rum, which does soundgreat. They're known for their
Simba sunset, which is a regularpineapple Dole Whip, but topped
with watermelon, strawberry andcoconut syrups. But no ROM, not
not not in that one. Although,although, underage, guaranteed.
Depends on which symbol we'retalking about. Could be the
(21:16):
symbol at the end of the movie.
It could be right. But, but Iimagined that they would not you
know shun you for saying switchout that coconut syrup for the
coconut rum they would useanimal care
Kelli (21:33):
free with the animal kingdom and Epcot, man, you get
what you want. Yes, right. Yes,it's always right.
Chris (21:41):
Especially as the guests so the guests ask for alcohol is
walking around with kids.
There's like here you need to
Kelli (21:47):
double. You want to make that a double. I love it when
they asked me that.
Chris (21:51):
Okay, next on my list is the fountain. This is at the
swan and dolphin resortsdescribed as a hidden gem and a
must do apparently the caramelapple sundae is an absolute
star. Wow. Additional littlesoda fountain, you know, ice
cream shop. That sounds great.
The caramel apple Sundae. Nowwhat I want to know is what they
(22:13):
put that into a blender with alittle bit of milk and smoosh it
up into a milkshake so I can getthe apple pie milkshake that
I've been chasing down for 20years now. It's been a
Kelli (22:23):
minute it really has has
Chris (22:27):
this was gonna I think maybe this one might surprise
people. Okay. Beaches and Cream.
There you and I have never beenthere. Oh, I was surprised about
that. Yeah, no, we haven't beenwe've never been there. It's
over the yacht and beach clubresorts another classic Soda
Shop not far from the fountainhonestly. table service

that. Go in there and get yourthing and get
Kelli (22:51):
the kitchen sink thing you need. You need to table for
that. Yes.

their $35 kitchen sink is aSunday that serves four with
scoops of vanilla chocolatestrawberry cookies and cream and
mint chocolate chip. Thensmothered in every topping you
can get it peaches and cream.
All right. Okay, last one on thelist. The newbie, salt and straw
at Disney. Yeah, there's athere's a million ice cream and
(23:15):
a lot of places.
Kelli (23:18):
Salt and straw has amazing reviews. Yeah.
Chris (23:21):
Super unique ice cream flavors. Made with handmade ice
cream source with local organicand sustainable ingredients.
Think Matilda's hibiscus andcoconut sherbet. I got some
great names here. Honey lavenderice cream. Strawberry, honey
balsamic with black pepper. Icecream. Yes. Yes. Cinnamon and
(23:45):
Honey fried chicken. Or deviledegg custard and smoked black

Kelli (23:53):
That one's a no. Not Want deviled egg ice cream.
Chris (23:57):
It's good sir.
Kelli (23:58):
It's a no it's enough.
That one's a no. All right.
Yeah.
Chris (24:01):
So your turn for your take on places we've actually
visited some
Kelli (24:06):

right?
Kelli (25:00):
Yeah, you gotta spend the money somewhere Gasparilla
Island grill at the Grand flow.
Now I've been here it's been awhile. This they've done a huge
overhaul here in the last fewyears new menu items, bolts,
flatbreads, burgers, etc. Butwhat I wanted to focus on here
is the desserts A which is whatI had when I went to the
Gasparilla Island grill. So theyhave a Mickey chocolate shoe,

hashtag, you can get both. Butthat's what you need to get.
You're welcome. Yes,

Disney and the Oriental LandCompany are partnering once
again. So the Oriental LandCompany is the Japanese based
company that actually owns andoperates the Disney parks in
Japan. Right. They're comingback together. Here's the
(07:19):
official announcement today, butwhen they announced it's been a
couple of weeks now, weannounced a new agreement with
the Oriental oriental LandCompany Limited that will bring
year round Disney cruisevacations to Japan. Quote,
Disney Cruise Line has ambitiousplans to bring family vacations
(07:40):
and Disney storytelling to moreguests around the world that
ever before said Josh dimauro,Chairman of Disney experiences.
I'm sure this will be in thehorizons thing that he talks
about. We are thrilled tocontinue the success of this
expansion as we collaborate withthe Oriental oriental Land
Company to introduce anotherdistinctly Disney vacation
experience to families and fansin Japan. Then said you make a
(08:04):
to Cano a representativedirector and chairperson and CEO
for the Oriental Land Company. Iam sincerely proud that Disney
and oriental land will be ableto work together to create a
world class cruise business inJapan. We will use their know
how from the theme park businessto continue pushing boundaries
and provide family entertainmentcruise experiences filled with
(08:26):
inspiration and surprise. Idoubt this thing gets launched
before next year. Like I thinkthey actually are going to
there's a new boat that'scurrently being built in Germany
now that will be the Japan ship.
And I don't think that's gonnahappen before we make it to
Japan. Right at least I hopenot. Because that means we've
(08:47):
gone to Japan pretty quickly.
Right? So you're still leaningtowards Japan for your we've
never really talked about thaton the podcast. But yeah,
Kelli (08:56):
I think they just announced it.
Chris (08:58):
I think that if some things that we're working on go
our way. Then I'm leaningtowards Japan for next year.
Kelli (09:06):
All right.
Chris (09:07):
I know. Very exciting.
Kelli (09:09):
Very exciting.
Chris (09:11):
GPT just playing a 14 day trip for scales.
Kelli (09:15):
I like that. It's 14 days.
Chris (09:17):
I like that too. Okay, how much time do I have left?
Oh, we got a little time here.
Okay. Disney grants, hassurprised seven local nonprofits
with a $500,000 grant each. Wow,
Kelli (09:34):
these nonprofits work with Disney or
Chris (09:37):
their various like the Boys and Girls, boys and girls
clubs and such. These are allFlorida based. Right? Right. And
they all had different missionsand things to accomplish. In
years past there was one my oneof these may two but there was
one that dedicated their theirwork to providing prosthetics
for children. Mm hmm. Right,right. So Yeah, this was really
(10:01):
cool. So the Boys and Girls Clubof Central Florida, Camp Boggy
Creek and I can't remember whatit is they actually do.
Children's Home Society ofFlorida, the Girl Scouts of the
citrus Council lift Orlandomarine Discovery Center and the
Orlando Science Center allreceived $500,000 grants. What
(10:22):
was really cool though, was thatthey invited them all to a show
back on July the 12th. Theyinvited them all to a show, like
representatives of these places,all to a show who could do like
a special here. We're gonnahonor you with this, this
special showing of the whoop deedoo review. That's fine. They
(10:42):
had no idea that we're going toreceive these
Kelli (10:43):
grants. Oh, wow. That's fine. How
Chris (10:47):
awesome is that? That's cool. Like you get to go. You're
having your meal. Oh, what anice thing. What am I seeing
they did for us? Oh, by the way,here's $500,000 Go see what you
can do with that. That's great.
I love that. So fantastic. Yep.
So that's all I had on the onthe things to discuss.
Kelli (11:05):
Yeah, okay. Well, I like I like where you went with the
grant. I'm,
Chris (11:09):
I'm I'm really through the Japan out there idea out
there to myself as itself. Yousaid I'd say go somewhere that
you've never been before foryour 50th because we've been
talking a lot about I turned 50Next year, then it's our 20th
wedding anniversary, I turn toturn 50 some things on the
(11:30):
agenda here planted out Yeah.
And it out. I set it to myselfand then I've been sleeping on
it to see if I still write intothe idea and it's been about a
week now and you're still stillstealing. I told it that I
wanted a couple of days at eachthe Disney Parks I told Chad GPT
Kelli (11:47):
Yeah, I think we you don't want to go to Japan and
then not have time to doeverything at the park. Oh,
Chris (11:52):
great. So what at least two days in each part? Yeah, I
wanted some cultural stuff.
There's that park there. We canfeed the deer, you know, right
out of your hand. I want to dothat. Some of the shrines that
are really cool. Want to seeKyoto, you want to
Kelli (12:05):
ride the train? And I wonder I had the bullet train?
Yeah, I want to ride that bulletsort of beyond just a Disney
trip. Yeah,
Chris (12:12):
but I want to go to the beaches. I've got some amazing
beaches in Okinawa. So I thinkI'd like to see those two
protocols. So I don't want towaste an opportunity to go to a
beach. Yeah, now that they areapparently so scarce in the
world. Beaches, beaches.
Kelli (12:27):
So I mean, I'll say to that, as we've been looking at
sort of some big trips comingup. We've also priced out Disney
cruises. Recently we have and Itold you, I was like either they
have decreased their pricing orother cruise lines have
increased their pricing to matchor we just didn't understand the
pricing. Or we didn't but I wasI was talking to a friend this
(12:49):
week, who's very into RoyalCaribbean, they go on a lot of
Royal Caribbean cruises, and shetold me Royal Caribbean has
definitely increased theirpricing. Oh, interesting. So I
think it's interesting thatDisney Cruise Lines is very in
line with most of the cruiseprices we've seen
Chris (13:06):
are like what we would typically have done in the past,
right?
Kelli (13:09):
And they listed all inclusive for the cabin on their
website. Whereas a lot of cruiselines listed per person. If you
do the math, if you do the math,it actually works out to be very
similar. And I know we've donethe math before it it didn't. So
Chris (13:24):
next year is looking very busy, but I am with you on the
idea that it would be nice totry to fit in at Disney
treasure.
Kelli (13:33):
Absolutely. I'm for it.
All right a percent. So planningsome fun trips coming up.
Chris (13:40):
I know so. Okay, so we're doing something to kind of fun.
This week, I'm Tomorrowland,your World Showcase. But we're
effectively we've got the sametopic. Yep. Today is two
national days that I'm going to,for the purposes of this say
(14:02):
near and dear to our heartsnational junk food day. And
National Ice Cream day. That'stoday. So I the 21st National
Junk Food Day National Ice Creamday. So what we did was, we said
okay, let's talk about the whatwould be considered junk food at
(14:23):
the Disney Parks Walt DisneyWorld. That's counter service,
right? This is your counterservice restaurant, although the
food is significantly higherquality typically. Right? And
what are the best ice creamplaces? Right. So I was going
through the lists, Disney foodblog was huge help on our ice
cream list. And Disney touristsblog was huge help on our
(14:44):
counter service list. Okay, andso I was going through and I
decided to take all the onesthat were new that I've not ever
been to right and you've got theones that are that we haven't
been to so you're gonna I'mgonna go through mine here for
Tomorrowland. All right.
Alright, I'm gonna start startwith the top junk food slash
counter service counter service.
(15:05):
Okay? It's such a nicer way tosay junk food it is. And
honestly, the food that theyhave is better than junk food
typically, right? Especiallysome of the ones you'll see us
talk about here. Okay, first andforemost, again, thanks to the
Disney tourist blog for thissegment, the ABC commissary.
Now, I have actually eaten therebefore, but my grandmother was
(15:28):
still alive and going to DisneyParks a long, long, long time.
And at that time, there were nota lot of other options to eat or
Hollywood Studios. So I will putthat on this list. And we hear
over and over and over again.
Yeah, how surprisingly good thefare is at the ABC commissary?
Kelli (15:47):
Well, I mean, every time we talk about things on their
menu, I'm like, this is such ablack horse like, yes, you just
you just don't see it coming.
Chris (15:55):
Yeah. And the restaurant just kind of comes across as
boring. You know, the look. It'snot a great thing. There but
that may have something to do.
Why we don't go there.
Kelli (16:08):
Yeah, well, I mean, there's just so many other
options that Hollywood Studiosnow there are
Chris (16:11):
all right, and then there's some that we love. Yeah,
right. Yeah. But all who dointer come out raving about
their food. And I know they hadone of the best plant based
burgers supposedly, supposedlyin all the parks. Think buffalo
grilled chicken. Buffalo Chickengrilled cheese, though. And you
(16:32):
can sell me on that pretty?
Yeah, pretty easily. Okay, primopiatto. At Riviera. This is a
quick service at reveres is downthere near where the pool is.
Strong and you serve breakfast,lunch and dinner. Riviera is
wonderful. So it's it's going tobe good. I'm sure it's the only
(16:52):
quick service place they havetheir they don't have like a
food court like some of theother places, right? Well, they
do have the coffee shop. Thatwill be a little coffee shop
with the pastries. Breakfastthat's just open for breakfast.
That's right. And it's mostlypastries and coffee and tea,
right. Yeah. I saw on the menuhere. Blueberry lemon pancakes.
Wow. And low fat sounds realgood.
Kelli (17:18):
Gosh, that sounds delightful. I can't
Chris (17:21):
wait to try that. They have frittatas on the menu. They
have a lemon ricotta cheesecake.
On the menu, which Yeah, thatspeaks to my that's one of my
love languages. lemon ricottacheesecake. Yeah. And also beef
bolognese. At a quick serviceplace. Yeah, no, that's
Kelli (17:38):
pretty straight. Yeah, that's nice.
Chris (17:40):
Okay. Columbia harbor house. This is reopened,
recently reopened. Again, thisis one that I went to probably
40 years ago. Right. It's notthe same restaurant. It was back
then there was lots of chickentenders. They had the Monte
Cristo sandwich, which is all mygrandma ever got there. But
(18:00):
consistently considered one ofthe best quick service locations
on the property. It's mostlyseafood, which does distinguish
it from a lot of the otherplaces. You're not gonna get
seafood at a counter serviceplace all that often. And like
lobster rolls, grilled salmonand things like that. It also
(18:21):
might offer the single bestescape from the park for a cool
restful spot. Because you go inthere and there's an upstairs.
And when you're walking fromfantasyland to Liberty Square,
you go underneath this isawning. The site looks like a
covered walkway. It does look alittle short covered walkway.
(18:43):
That seating up there for theColumbia harbor house. So they
get these great Windows you cansee down on the folks but it's
nice and cool. Yeah. All right.
And this one actually taught theoverall list for Disney tourists
blog in terms of counterservice, the polite pig. This is
a written dessert DisneySprings. I technically have
eaten there I had theirmeatballs with with grits.
They're all right. But there'sway more on the menu than that.
(19:07):
Yeah, this was actually theirtop pick overall. And they are
actually a winner. So theMichelin star people the people
give out the Michelin stars.
They they also will give outwhat they call bib gourmand
awards to places I say how dothey the winner of a bib
(19:29):
gourmand award. This honors goodquality good value restaurants
that is universally approachablebid garmont award winners are
those that deliver stellarquality at prices in line with
the local cost of living and sobig shocking that
Kelli (19:47):
anything at Disney got that? Let's just be honest,
Chris (19:51):
the food is expensive, it is expensive. So but the polite
pig won one of those awards fromwow so that speaks very high.
Elliot that's
Kelli (20:00):
fantastic. Yeah, and it's barbecue,
Chris (20:03):
which is also great. You love barbecue. Yeah,
Kelli (20:05):
absolutely.
Chris (20:06):
Okay, so now I'm moving on to the top ice cream places.
I gotta move pretty quick here.
All right. swirls on the waterat Disney Springs. They offer
dole whips, including specialtyand introductory flavors. You
can even get a dough withflight. Oh, that's a nice right
you get a little. You get likethree little three little
(20:26):
martini glasses filled withdifferent flavors. Cute. Yeah,
so swirls on the water atDisney's very cute. Both of our
lists here are going to be dealtwith centered early on. So
following that theme, the 10 to10 Mu refreshments at Animal
Kingdom. You can get doughwhips. There. This is in the
Africa location there. You canget dough whips here with
(20:51):
coconut rum, which does soundgreat. They're known for their
Simba sunset, which is a regularpineapple Dole Whip, but topped
with watermelon, strawberry andcoconut syrups. But no ROM, not
not not in that one. Although,although, underage, guaranteed.
Depends on which symbol we'retalking about. Could be the
(21:16):
symbol at the end of the movie.
It could be right. But, but Iimagined that they would not you
know shun you for saying switchout that coconut syrup for the
coconut rum they would useanimal care
Kelli (21:33):
free with the animal kingdom and Epcot, man, you get
what you want. Yes, right. Yes,it's always right.
Chris (21:41):
Especially as the guests so the guests ask for alcohol is
walking around with kids.
There's like here you need to
Kelli (21:47):
double. You want to make that a double. I love it when
they asked me that.
Chris (21:51):
Okay, next on my list is the fountain. This is at the
swan and dolphin resortsdescribed as a hidden gem and a
must do apparently the caramelapple sundae is an absolute
star. Wow. Additional littlesoda fountain, you know, ice
cream shop. That sounds great.
The caramel apple Sundae. Nowwhat I want to know is what they
(22:13):
put that into a blender with alittle bit of milk and smoosh it
up into a milkshake so I can getthe apple pie milkshake that
I've been chasing down for 20years now. It's been a
Kelli (22:23):
minute it really has has
Chris (22:27):
this was gonna I think maybe this one might surprise
people. Okay. Beaches and Cream.
There you and I have never beenthere. Oh, I was surprised about
that. Yeah, no, we haven't beenwe've never been there. It's
over the yacht and beach clubresorts another classic Soda

their $35 kitchen sink is aSunday that serves four with
scoops of vanilla chocolatestrawberry cookies and cream and
mint chocolate chip. Thensmothered in every topping you
can get it peaches and cream.
All right. Okay, last one on thelist. The newbie, salt and straw

a lot of places.
Kelli (23:18):
Salt and straw has amazing reviews. Yeah.
Chris (23:21):

Chris (23:57):
It's good sir.
Kelli (23:58):
It's a no it's enough.

Chris (24:01):
So your turn for your take on places we've actually
visited some
Kelli (24:06):

Island grill at the Grand flow.
Now I've been here it's been awhile. This they've done a huge
overhaul here in the last fewyears new menu items, bolts,
flatbreads, burgers, etc. Butwhat I wanted to focus on here
is the desserts A which is whatI had when I went to the
Gasparilla Island grill. So theyhave a Mickey chocolate shoe,
(25:23):
which is a chocolate pet a shoefilled with chocolate Chantilly
cream. Oh for 679 I'll have tothen they have a blueberry
