Kimono’s Sushi Bar – an accidental Valentine’s Dinner

We try to go out to dinner on Friday evenings… usually nothing extreme, drinks and a few nibbles or a light dinner… usually at the Swan and Dolphin Resorts. Well, this year, Valentine’s Day was on a Friday and we found ourselves at Kimono’s Sushi Bar… We haven’t been here in a long while and

Breakfast at The Wave – two visits

We went to The Wave at the Contemporary Resort twice in less than a week. It really has become our go-to for breakfast (well heck, we tried calling to get into Kouzzina by Cat Cora for breakfast and were told that the only table was at 10:30 (that ain’t breakfast, that’s brunch!) and when we’ve

A visit to the Mandara Spa at the Dolphin Resort

The only times I’ve been to a spa in the past was when we were on a cruise ship – the Norwegian Sun in March 2012 to be exact. We’ve talked about me going to the spas at Disney World, but for various reasons, I never got around to giving one a try until recently.

Repost – Two Segway Tours that are no-more

There are two Segway Tours that used to take place in Epcot theme-park. The first is the “Nature Inspired Design Tour” (circa 2010) and the second is the “Keep Moving Forward Tour” (circa 2013) – interestingly, we had the same tour guide on each of these. The “Keep Moving Forward Tour” was very short-lived –

We return to Il Mulino after a long hiatus

We haven’t been to Il Mulino in quite a while (we think it’s been about 3 years). Why? Well, our first three visits, not long after the location reopened as Il Mulino were all pretty disastrous. One visit with just us went poorly… the service wasn’t good and the food was only moderately good. The

Breakfast at Fresh Mediterranean Market at the Dolphin Resort

We had never eaten at Fresh before this breakfast in December. A couple of reasons: (1) we’re rarely at this resort in the mornings and (2) it’s a buffet with an a la carte option [much like Garden Grove]… However, we’ve decided that we should give eateries at the Swan and Dolphin resorts that AREN’T

Lunch with an Animal Specialist at Sanaa (2nd time around)

We were very pleased to go back to Sanaa for the Lunch with an Animal Specialist Thanksgiving Weekend. This was the first time that our friends Kris & Kevin had eaten at Sanaa – but interestingly, it wasn’t the first time that the four of us teamed up to do something special at Animal Kingdom

Rumors are that this year is the last year for the Osborne Family Spectacle of Dancing Lights on the city streets of Disney’s Hollywood Studios…

bluezoo lounge for oysters, 2 appetizers, and a surprise from the new chef de cuisine

We were recently at bluezoo, as is our wont… On this particular evening, we weren’t really that hungry and planned to have oysters and to split a couple of appetizers.

Steamboat Oysters (Puget Sound, Washington state) a.k.a. Totten Oysters… with Nora’s favorite accompaniments (plain horseradish, lemons, and sriracha)

We each had two of

A different breakfast at the Wave

On a recent Sunday we were out and about at Walt Disney World taking photos of the Gingerbread House at the Grand Floridian and of the Gingerbread Tree at the Contemporary. We were a bit disappointed that these two displays were in place (in fact, there were Q&A sessions with the Pasty Chefs on Friday
