Dining at Disney World: Diary of a Mad Disney Planner

 

Minnie and I are going back “home” in February. We have reserved a room at Pop Century for six days and five glorious nights. I have never used the Disney Dining Plan nor have I seen a need. We don’t have kids and usually just stop and get quick service if we are hungry and make one or two ADR’s a trip. So the need to have “scheduled” meal times really didn’t make it’s way into our plans. Read more

Dining at Walt Disney World: The Great Cinnamon Roll Migration

  One of the best memories from our last trip to Walt Disney World was food related (shocking I know). Minnie and I walked into the Main Street Bakery and ordered a cinnamon roll. I was wearing my Cleveland Browns jersey and the lady who was serving us asked if we were from Ohio. I said yes and told her where. She smiled as she placed the gigantic roll on the plate. “So am I, would you like some sauce”? “Of course” I said with a laugh. She began to take both spatulas and gather up what had to be a pint of caramel heaven between them. She then poured it on top of our roll! She handed it to me and said “I always love when fellow buckeyes come through here”.  We sat down with two forks and began to enjoy our breakfast while watching the people pass by the window.
