- Breakfast at Topolino’s Terrace

  1/3/22
  
  As my luck would have it for this trip…I was also able to score a reservation for 4 to Topolino’s Terrace, which has been on my bucket list for the last several trips! There was so much going on this day with food, so people had to pick and choose what was important to them. This was first on my list!
  
  Topolino’s is located at Disney’s Riviera Resort. The easiest way for us to get there for breakfast was to take a Lyft from our resort.
  
  This resort is absolutely gorgeous! It kind of reminds me of a mini Grand Floridian in its style and decor.
  
  The lobby is kind of on the smaller side.
  
  This is one view out the back from the lobby area.
  
  We took the elevator up to Topolino’s Terrace.
  
  We were seated promptly right in the middle of the restaurant, which was busy, but not too busy.
  
  We were brought this delicious basket of pastries, and condiments. Crossaints, muffins, and fabulous maple?? turnovers. All of it was SO GOOD!
  
  I had read many different reviews while deciding if I truly wanted to eat here. A majority of them said that they would do this meal again hands down. It also varied on what you could order. Because you are paying a set price per person, it was assumed that you could get one entree, however that is not true. You can order one entree and then ask for sides or small orders of other things if you wish.
  
  I knew for sure I wanted the Fruit Plate–Seasonal Fruits, Honey Yogurt, Seed Granola, Toasted Sunflower Butter. It arrived and it was fantastic!
  
  My daughter chose the Sour Cream Waffle–Roasted Apple, Chantilly, Orange-Maple Syrup, and served with Sausage. I was also torn between this and what I ordered. Luckily I was able to try this, and it was SO GOOD! I would order this again for sure!
  
  My niece ordered the Quiche Gruyere–House-Made Pancetta, Roasted Potatoes, Gruyere, Lemon Vinaigrette, Sausage. She really liked this, especially the potatoes.
  
  I went with the Two Eggs Any Style–Roasted Potatoes served with Sausage. This was your standard (real) scrambled eggs. The potatoes were really good! I knew I was going to be tasting my daughter’s waffles, so I wanted something somewhat “healthy.”
  
  While we were eating, the characters took turns coming around. They did make an announcement with music so you knew someone was coming. They did not get close to the tables, but did stop next to us so we could get pictures or videos. I loved Minnie’s outfit!
  
  A look inside the restaurant:
  
  When we were finished eating, we were able to go outside on the terrace to have a look around. The views were amazing! It was pretty windy, but the weather besides that was perfect.
  
  I would 100% do this breakfast again, even for the cost. It’s a character meal, with delicious food, a gorgeous resort, and spectacular views. I would try to align it with a Hollywood Studios or Epcot day so you can take the Skyliner after eating.
  
  Our server here was meh. She wasn’t very personable and didn’t ask if we wanted anything extra. She was also nonexistent for a majority of the time.

- Space 220 Dinner Review – Epcot
  
  Posted at 10:53 am by taryngirl, on February 18, 2022
  
  1/3/22
  
  By some miracle, I was able to score a reservation to the brand new restaurant in Epcot…Space 220! It was only for 4 people, so our group of 14 had to draw straws. Kidding, kidding!
  
  I had read reviews, looked at food pictures, checked the menu, and reallllllllly wanted to have this experience! So I was very excited that I was one of the “chosen ones.”
  
  The restaurant is located right near Mission Space. The entrance is kind of tucked away on the right hand side of the building. Once you check in at that desk, they send you through the doors to another check in desk.
  
  This is where we received our boarding pass for our visit to the Centauri Space Station.
  
  We lined up with another party against the wall, waiting for someone to escort us to the elevator.
  
  Everyone stood around the center and looked down. We were blasting off and heading to space!
  
  Once we made it to the Space Station, we walked down a very neat hallway.
  
  The restaurant itself is amazing! When you walk in, to the right is the “lounge” where you can also order food. It’s a separate menu, and the seating area is small. You CAN make reservations for this area now, or you can wait in line for a walk up. Note, the full dinner menu is not available in this area.
  
  All throughout dinner, things would go flying across…astronauts, shuttles, satellites, etc. It was neat!
  
  Lunch and dinner here are a little bit different. For dinner you get to choose one appetizer, one entree and one dessert for $79 per person.
  
  Here’s a look at the dinner menu:
  
  One thing I forgot to get a photo of was the incredible drink menu! The drink menu was great and we all had a hard time deciding what we wanted.
  
  You can’t tell by this photo, but my drink was bubbling like crazy!
  
  Someone else ordered this one…that is cotton candy!
  
  First appetizer:
  
  Centauri Caesar Salad–Miniature Romaine, Classic Caesar Dressing, Parmigiano Reggiano
  
  Next appetizer:
  
  Blue Moon Cauliflower–Tempura Fried Cauliflower, Housemade Hot Sauce, Blue Cheese Dust
  
  This was my appetizer and it was ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS! I want to try to recreate it at home in my air fryer! It was perfectly cooked and the sauce was not TOO spicy for me. I would 100% order this again.
  
  Next appetizer:
  
  Neptuna Tartare–Yellowfin Tuna, Yuzu Ginger Miso, Soy, Avocado, Radish, Apple, Sesame Crackers
  
  I didn’t taste this but was told it was very good.
  
  Next appetizer:
  
  Starry Calamari–Fried Calamari, Italian Cherry Peppers, Spicy Marinara, Roasted Pepper Citrus Aioli
  
  I didn’t taste this either since I don’t eat seafood, but was told it was good. Just your normal calamari. The tuna was better than this according to my group.
  
  Next up were our entrees.
  
  Entree #1:
  
  8 oz. Filet Mignon–Cabernet Butter, Potato Leek Croquette (I substituted with mashed potatoes!), Haricots Verts
  
  This was amazing! And I’ve very glad I subbed for the mashed potatoes, because they were excellent!
  
  Entree #2:
  
  Florida Red Snapper–San Marzano Tomato Broth, Fingerling Potatoes, Broccolini, Sicilian Tapenade
  
  Two people ordered this and they both liked it!
  
  Entree #3:
  
  Slow Rotation Short Rib–Braised Short Rib, Cheddar Grits, Bacon, Haricots Verts
  
  This was reported to be very tender and delicious!
  
  The next course was our yummy desserts!
  
  Dessert #1:
  
  Chocolate Cheesecake–Whipped Chocolate Ganache, Chocolate Sauce, White Chocolate Crunchy Pearls, Cookie Crumbs, Dark Chocolate Shards
  
  The presentation of this was amazing! I did get to taste it and it was excellent. If you are a chocolate lover, this is definitely for you!
  
  Dessert #2:
  
  Sticky Toffee Pudding Cake–Dark Chocolate Sauce, Caramel Crunchy Pearls, Salted Toffee Drizzle
  
  This also had a great presentation. I didn’t taste this one, but it was reported to be good.
  
  Dessert #3:
  
  Lemon Mousse–Lemon Mousse Sphere adorned with White Chocolate Rings, Lemon Custard, Marinated Blueberries, Lemon Curd
  
  This is what I ordered. I LOVE lemon! So I was excited to try this. It was very good! (I did prefer the chocolate cheesecake to this though.)
  
  Dessert #4:
  
  Chocolate Gelato
  
  This was a giant serving! And very good.
  
  Overall, we really loved our experience here. Yes, it’s pricey at $79 per person. But that includes an appetizer, entree, and dessert. It’s really not THAT much more than a two credit Disney table service restaurant. The atmosphere was really cool, and the service was great. I definitely would come again for lunch or to sit in the lounge area!

- Epcot’s France Pavilion–Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure
  
  Posted at 1:29 pm by taryngirl, on January 14, 2022
  
  10/2/21
  
  After checking in at Art of Animation, we wanted to head to Epcot. We had secured a virtual spot in line for the brand new ride, Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure. One of my main priorities was getting a late breakfast in France.
  
  To get to Epcot from Art of Animation, you have to take Disney’s Skyliner transportation. There is no bus service available unless for some reason the Skyliner is down.
  
  Here we are over top of Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort.
  
  We arrived sometime between 10 and 11 a.m. One of my favorite quick service dining locations in Epcot is Les Halles Boulangerie Patisserie. Entering at the International Gateway is super convenient because France is the first country next to the entrance.
  
  The line was out the door and down the walkway!
  
  My favorite is the Crossaint Jambon Fromage–Ham, Cheese, Bechamel in a Crossaint. You can get it warmed or not. SO GOOD!
  
  And my new found love…the Baguette! Fresh from the oven and served with butter on the side.
  
  Some views of the France Pavilion:
  
  The entrance to Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure
  
  We just briefly whizzed through some countries when our return time was called for the virtual line for Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure. Once your group is called, you have one hour to return to the entrance of the attraction.
  
  Inside the ride!
  
  The ride was SUPER CUTE! A great addition to Epcot. I do get somewhat motion sick and had to close my eyes at one part, but it wasn’t terrible.
  
  At the time of this post, the virtual line method has ended for Remy and it’s just a regular standby line!

- Art of Animation–Little Mermaid Room
  
  Posted at 9:29 am by taryngirl, on December 14, 2021
  
  10/2/21
  We took a Lyft from Saratoga Springs to Art of Animation first thing in the morning. Our plan was to check in or drop off our bags, and head to Epcot via the Skyliner. Luckily our room was ready, so we went directly there!
  
  We chose to stay at Art of Animation because neither of us had ever stayed there in a Little Mermaid room. The theming is completely on point here as you can see in my photos! All of the little details were perfect for Disney or Little Mermaid fans.
  
  Directly inside the door, is a table and two chairs with a mirror on the wall above.
  
  The table has some amazing details!
  
  There are 2 queen beds with the cutest bubble lights on the headboard.
  
  There’s a curtain to partition off the sink area from the bedroom area.
  
  The shower area literally makes you feel like you are under the sea!
  
  Overall, the room was clean and a good size for a value level resort. This is the perfect room for a super Disney fan or Little Mermaid lover! The walk to the food court and bus area is a little bit long from the Little Mermaid rooms. The family suites are much closer.
  
  Up next Epcot!

- Magic Kingdom 50th Anniversary – Rides, Pinocchio Village Haus, Disney Enchantment
  
  Posted at 2:26 pm by taryngirl, on December 13, 2021
  
  10/1/21
  
  Once we were finished with lunch at Steakhouse 71, we headed back to Magic Kingdom. Just as we were entering, we were able to catch a cavalcade. Our number was called to go back to the Bigtop shopping tent. I sadly did not get any pictures there because it was a madhouse! After shopping, the wait times for rides were still low, so we got on: Pirates of the Caribbean, People Mover, Carousel of Progress, Buzz Lightyear, and Pooh. We also were meeting for a big group picture in front of the castle.
  
  After that, we decided to mobile order our dinner since we had been hearing the wait times were so long. We chose Pinocchio Village Haus. We were expecting a long wait once they said our order was ready, but it wasn’t! We shared the Margherita Flatbread. It was delicious!
  
  After eating we decided to find a spot to watch the brand new Disney Enchantment show. It was already super packed around the hub. We settled into our spot around 8:00 p.m. We got this message at 8:30!
  
  Here a shot of the castle before the show started:
  
  These are some of my favorite pics from during the show:
  
  Tinkerbell!
  
  Overall, I thought the show was good. I personally love Wishes and it will always be my favorite! I thought it was odd, that for the 50th, there wasn’t any mention of the big 5…Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, etc. I like the projections on the castle. But I feel you definitely need to be in the hub to be able to see them!
  
  After the show, we did ride Peter Pan and Big Thunder Mountain before heading home.
  
  Up next…Art of Animation!

- Steakhouse 71 Lunch Review
  
  Posted at 11:22 am by taryngirl, on November 11, 2021
  
  10/1/21
  
  Somehow I was able to score a lunch reservation at the BRAND NEW restaurant, Steakhouse 71, located at the Contemporary Resort where The Wave used to be. This was the grand opening day and we were very excited!
  
  We left Magic Kingdom and took the monorail to The Contemporary Resort. We checked in at 11:40 a.m. and they told us they were running a little bit behind from breakfast. At 12:15 p.m. we were paged.
  
  Compared to The Wave (the restaurant this used to be), I thought the decor was much brighter, which made the dining area look much bigger.
  
  Like I said before, this was opening day, so I knew there may be some hiccups. We sat, and waited and waited for our server to come. She did not, but a manager did. He took our drink order and then our food order as well. Our drinks came and we had ordered appetizers, and those eventually came as well. (We still didn’t see our server!)
  
  I ordered the Fork & Knife Caesar Salad $10. This was delicious and possibly one of the best salads I’ve had!
  
  My friend ordered the Baby Iceberg Wedge Salad (house-made bleu cheese dressing, toy box tomatoes, pickled red onions, bacon, hard cooked egg) $11.
  
  At some point during appetizers, our waitress appeared. She explained her last table (during breakfast service) was super complicated and had a bunch of different payments. We also noticed that they had random people bringing out food and managers were busing tables. Nothing seemed organized and it seemed like they were struggling!
  
  At one point, someone else brought us two more salads, and we told them we were already served.
  
  For entrees, my friend ordered the Crab Cake Sliders (lump crab cakes, old bay remoulade, tomato, pickled slaw on a brioche bun, served with parmesan fries). You could also choose a petite wedge salad or pasta salad as your side. $19. She really liked these. She smashed them down so she could fit them in her mouth.
  
  I ordered the Steakhouse 71 Stack Burger (signature blend of beef, American cheese, lemon aioli, red onion, house-made pickles, on a brioche bun served with parmesan fries) $20. This was amazing! I asked for the lemon aioli on the side because I wasn’t sure I would like it, but it was really good.
  
  Overall, the service was not that great. We didn’t get out of here until 2:00 p.m. But the food more than made up for it. The staff was very apologetic and friendly, they were just overwhelmed. I will 100% be back here again. I think this is a great alternative to a table service in Magic Kingdom, especially at lunch time.

- October 1st, Magic Kingdom 50th Anniversary
  
  Posted at 8:41 am by taryngirl, on October 22, 2021
  
  10/1/21
  
  Originally our plan for the day was to just wake up leisurely, and not get there for rope drop since we knew it was going to be a late night. We didn’t have any specific shopping we wanted to do as far as the 50th merchandise was concerned. We had no plans to ride anything specific. We were expecting huge crowds and long waits. Our main goal was to just see the new nighttime fireworks show, Enchantment.
  
  Imagine my surprise when I opened my eyes, and Jamie was already awake and on her phone to absolute craziness! The park was supposed to open at 7:30 a.m. to resort guests, but instead opened much earlier. The lines for merchandise were already hours long with a virtual queue, which also appeared to be full already. It was 8-8:30 a.m.! So we decided to get up and get ready to go! We got to the bus stop at 9:30 a.m. and the bus came right away.
  
  Let the celebration begin!
  
  Everyone was given one of these special commemorative guidemaps.
  
  These were a hot commodity, as immediately there were some up on eBay for sale!
  
  We spent a little bit of time taking some photos around Main Street. It was super crowded right in this area. People were lining up for one of the cavalcades, and the lines for the shops stretched all the way down the sidewalks. It was very organized though.
  
  Many views of the castle! (I personally love the colors!)
  
  We decided to check wait times for the attractions, and ride a few things with no wait. We were pleasantly surprised that wait times were super low! We did want to check out the Big Top store near Dumbo, as that had special October 1st merchandise only. Once we got back to that area, there was a sign with a bar code that you could scan to get on a virtual waitlist to shop. It was absolute chaos. People were crazy! This is everyone trying to scan the barcode:
  
  Once you scanned the barcode, you were put into a virtual line. We were number 1193, which meant that’s how many people were in front of us.
  
  From there, we went to Under the Sea–Journey of the Little Mermaid (which was a walk on), It’s a Small World (which was basically a walk on), and then decided it was time to make our way over to the Contemporary Resort for our lunch reservation at Steakhouse 71.
  
  View looking down Main Street from the castle:
  
  After lunch, we did some more photo taking. These special statues are all over the parks!
  
  And we were able to watch one of the special cavalcades.
  
  Overall, it wasn’t nearly as crowded as I was expecting. Most rides had a maximum 20 minute wait, with many being 5-10 minutes. Everyone was in line for the merchandise or crowding around Main Street and the castle. Some people even had their blankets out and were camping out for the evening fireworks. We decided we were NOT doing that and wasting our whole day!
  
  Up next, Lunch Review of Steakhouse 71, and more from around the Magic Kingdom!

- Mama Melrose’s Ristorante Italiano Dinner Review
  
  Posted at 12:37 pm by taryngirl, on October 21, 2021
  
  9/30/21
  
  It’s been a long time since I’ve eaten at Mama Melrose in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, so I wanted to check it out! The last time we ate there, I really wanted to try the famous steak and JUST THAT WEEK they removed it from the menu. After lots of customer complaints, they brought it back, so I was anxious to try it, and honestly, by the time we made reservations, our choices were limited with both location and times.
  
  We got to Hollywood Studios at around 3:30 p.m. Our reservation was at 4:45 p.m.
  
  We walk through some of the shops on the way in, then checked wait times on the rides. Toy Story Midway Mania only had a 20 minute wait, so we went on that. Once we came out of there, we made our way over to Mama Melrose right on time.
  
  The decor and atmosphere are super cozy and cute inside this restaurant. To access the menu at the table, you scan a barcode and it pops up on your phone.
  
  To start, they brought us some amazing bread. It was warm and had a great olive oil dip. I also asked for straight up butter.
  
  Jamie ordered the Mama’s Caesar Salad–Fresh Romaine Lettuce, Housemade Caesar Dressing, Herb Croutons, and Parmesan. $11.00.
  
  For her main dish, she ordered the Oven-Baked Chicken alla Parmigiana–Breaded Chicken Breast with Marinara Sauce topped with Melted Mozzarella over Spaghetti $25.00.
  
  I ordered the Charred Strip Steak–Four Cheese Macaroni with Pancetta, Aged Balsamic Shallot Butter, and Chianti Wine Reduction $33.00. At Italian restaurants I always order some type of pasta, just because I feel like I should! But I’ve heard so many amazing things about this steak, that I had to give it a try. I LOVED IT! Both the steak and mac and cheese were so good! If I come back here, I 100% will be ordering this again.
  
  We were so full there was no way we could do dessert here. Plus, I still had Gideon’s cookies back in the room!
  
  After we left here, we went and stood in the standby line for Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway, which had a posted time of 30 minutes I think. We were pretty beat at this point from traveling, so we took some photos and then headed back to the resort.
  
  Up next…Magic Kingdom for the 50th Anniversary Celebration!

- Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa – Deluxe Studio
  
  Posted at 2:35 pm by taryngirl, on October 20, 2021
  
  9/30/21
  
  As I stated in an earlier post, I was lucky to score a DVC reservation here on short notice! I kept checking back since things were completely booked immediately for the start of the anniversary celebration. I had stayed here one time before, when Magic Kingdom had the 24 hour party. The rooms had recently been refurbished, and the sofa bed was replaced with a murphy bed, so I was excited to check it out!
  
  After I got back from Disney Springs, I changed (had my swimsuit in my backpack), and headed to the pool to relax and have lunch until my room was ready. I got the text around 12:30 p.m. that my room was ready, and it was super close in The Springs section. Here you can see the pool, where the bus stop is in this section, and the main lobby. My building was where the 4101-4436 rooms are marked. Super convenient! I did reserve a “Preferred’ room. I went to Bell Services first and got my luggage, then headed to the room.
  
  This resort is inspired by a historic New York retreat famous for its horse racing. It’s 65 acres and a short boat ride or walk to Disney Springs. There are 2 feature pools and 3 leisure pools, whirlpool spas and aqua-play areas.
  
  The Deluxe Studios can accommodate 4 people with a queen bed and a double size pull down bed.
  
  Here’s the view when entering the room:
  
  Here you can see the small sofa with the double pull down bed above it.
  
  The coffee table also can be raised up if you want to use it as a table while sitting on the sofa.
  
  I love the Deluxe Studios because they have a microwave, toaster, mini fridge, coffee pot and sink. This is great for quick breakfasts or snacks in the room.
  
  I loved our view! We did enjoy sitting out there in the evenings once we were back from the parks.
  
  Overall, I loved the room and the resort, and would definitely stay here again in the preferred section. I love that they are adding the pull down bed. It’s so much more comfortable than the regular sofa bed.
  
  Up next…Dinner at Mama Melrose and Around Hollywood Studios!

- Gideon’s Bakehouse – Disney Springs
  
  Posted at 10:58 am by taryngirl, on October 8, 2021
  
  9/30/21
  
  After I finished my breakfast, I made the walk over to Disney Springs. It was about 9:20 a.m. at this point, and Disney Springs opened at 10:00 a.m. My main goal was to check out Gideon’s Bakehouse, which I still had not been able to visit since they opened! Their cookies weigh almost half a pound, and they also have delicious looking cakes, and possibly the most popular item…the Peanut Butter Cold Brew.
  
  Here you can see just how big the Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa is. There are several sections and several bus stops. I was starting near the Carriage House and had to make my way through Congress Park to the bridge that connects to Disney Springs.
  
  It’s important to note that previously, the line for Gideon’s has been long. They sometimes have to utilize a virtual line, giving people a return time to come back. I had no idea what to expect when I got there.
  
  The line stretched back to the Morimoto entrance. I was about 20th in line. No workers were out yet. I got there around 9:45 a.m. Once the workers came out at 10:00 a.m., they did not offer any kind of virtual line. I got inside around 10:15. They were limited the number of people inside. I was out with my goodies in 10 minutes! The line was even longer now stretching down around Morimoto, and they still were not offering a virtual line.
  
  September’s Menu
  
  Some pics of the inside decor:
  
  Cookie options:
  
  Cake options:
  
  I had looked at the menu online, and read some reviews ahead of time, so my choices were somewhat narrowed down.
  
  Coffee Cake Cookie
  
  I had read one review where the lady went back 3 times…just to get this particular cookie. So I figured I had to try it! This is an extra buttery, vanilla bean cookie, filled with cinnamon strudel and topped with homemade double baked butter crumbs. This one is only available in the morning until they sell out. This was SO GOOD! Tied for my favorite of the 4 different kinds I got! Also, these things are HUGE. It took days to finish them, and I didn’t even eat it all! 10/10 for this one.
  
  Lemon Poppyseed Cookie
  
  Also tied for 1st place for me was this delicious Lemon Poppyseed Cookie! I love lemon desserts…lemon meringue pie is one of my favorites, so I knew I had to try this. This was a special flavor for the month of September only. Besides lemon and poppyseed, this cookie also has a mix of white chocolate chips and mini lemon chips. 10/10 for this one! This is the only cookie I finished completely and it took me 3 days.
  
  Peanut Butter Crunch Cookie
  
  Next up is the Peanut Butter Crunch Cookie. I love all things peanut butter, so definitely had to try this one. The dough for this is made mostly with peanut butter, and it’s topped with candied peanuts and peanut butter chips. This was also good! 8/10 for this one.
  
  Original Chocolate Chip Cookie
  
  The last cookie I had to get was the original chocolate chip. It’s the foundation for the who the company is, and who doesn’t like chocolate chip cookies?! This cookie is packed inside and out with a variety of chocolates, infused with different vanillas. This was just okay to me. I wasn’t blown away. It’s also the last one I tried, and because I loved the others so much maybe this just underwhelmed me? 6/10 for this one.
  
  True Red Velvet Cake
  
  I had also read amazing things about the cakes! So of course I had to try a piece… This was my hardest decision because they all sounded great. I decided on the True Red Velvet. This is a traditional buttermilk cake base with thick layers of cream cheese frosting, and lined with baked, candied walnuts. This was SO GOOD and super rich! I only was able to eat one layer. Super moist and lots of frosting. 9/10
  
  Overall, I absolutely loved this place! I will definitely be returning on future trips. I actually brought everything back to the resort before trying anything, and was able to refrigerate the cake. Bell services held it for me until my room was ready.
