Your tastings are so exciting! Your bouquet inspiration is very pretty. Enjoy the planning for your wedding!
Thank you! It was really fun tasting everything.
I'm glad TP was able to find the Cali Grill adr for you. I know how frustrating getting ADRs can be. You should definitely do a wedding week review. That would be so fun to follow. I'm going to miss all your dining reports.
That reservation finder is the best thing ever. I'm really happy everything turned out okay. Since I'm such a planner and do everything in advance it was stressful doing everything last second. I'm glad you've enjoyed all my reviews over the past year. I think I'll definitely do a wedding week dining review, we have a lot of restaurants booked that I'm excited about.
Wow, what great food you are going to have at the wedding. I can't wait to try it all
Seriously though, odd they wouldn't let you try everything you were considering. As much as I am sure you are paying you think you could try everything you were interested in and widdle from there.
I am really excited about the food. I know a lot of brides don't eat at their wedding and I fully intend to eat everything lol. They limit you to 8 items and I just realized they never included the vegetables I had wanted to try so we only ended up trying 7. I'm still waiting for the final amount so right now I don't even know how much everything is coming out to. They told me to pick items I was unsure of and not ones I'd know I'd like.
Great you were able to get your CG brunch worked out. I currently am searching for a dinner there for my birthday and August so you've given me hope. We don't normally plan, but we'll have some friends with us so the party is larger than normal.
Definitely sign up for the reservation finder, it made looking so much less stressful. Before I knew about it was stalking the website hoping to stumble upon a dropped reservation. Definitely don't give up hope I'm sure you'll be able to get it.
Only 10 days from wedding day for me so I have been AWOL from the dining reports but had to pop in here to see your tasting highlights!!!
How exciting it's almost here!
Early congrats!!
Wow that would be odd to have all these lovely dinner items for breakfast but I can't say I would hate it!! Filet for breakfast yummmm
When I first realized we were eating first thing in the morning I thought it would be really weird, but it turned out not to be weird at all and the food was all so good. Loved the filet, it's definitely what I'm ordering.
Everything sounds fabulous! I hope you got a menu for a keepsake
They did let us take them
Rude! Haha. I guess it's not rude at all but we had SO MUCH FOOD at our tasting... it was a full meal for sure. Although we did ask to sub out one entree for shrimp and grits and they didn't make us shrimp and grits to taste but we've definitely had them before so I can't nitpick. I would definitely need the tasting more at Disney than at the hometown place where we're getting married!!!
It was more food than I thought we were going to taste, but I definitely wish they had let us try a few more items. I'm excited to see how everything comes together on the day.
That's fantastic that they could just whip up a couple servings of amazing scallops! And so glad your parents loved them. That's great! Disney magic for sure.
I'm so glad they were able to do this since it ended up being what we picked to have on the menu.
That is sad! One of our favorite treats, but in every shop it seems... I'm sure there are more where that came from!
One day I'll try one, I love the normal type never had them at Disney before. Was sad I forgot them.
Makes me cry every time... sniffle... so beautiful!
I'm still waiting on Disney for confirmation that I can have the carriage, so fingers crossed I can get it.
Omg I am beyond jealous. That looks so delicious! I can't wait to get through the next week so I can take a break from my diet and eat some sweets (and wedding cake)!
The cake was really good. And I just read that the Royal Wedding happening this weekend is having Lemon cake so it's like I'm them lol.
Congratulations on such a fun step in your planning. Sounds like there is much more fun to come especially since you are renewing your passes. I would love to hear more about your Marriott villa, we are turning into grumpy old folks who like the extra space.
It was a really long exhausting day, but it was really fun planning all the details of the wedding. And I can't wait for all my future Disney trips, we'll be back in June for a weekend. The villa is really nice, I just didn't like having to drive on I4 to get to the parks everyday. The villa itself was huge, it was a two bedroom with a washer/dryer and full kitchen and living room. The master had a king bed and a whirl bathtub and the other room had a queen. It was only around $300 for 4 nights which is amazing compared to Disney prices.
And happy belated first Mother's Day!
I hope you had fun celebrating with your mom.
Thank you
It was really nice going to the brunch at California Grill with my mom
Glad the wedding tasting went so well even if you ended up not liking some of the dishes. Better to know now than later!
That's why I tried to pick a lot of dishes I was unsure about. I was really happy to know how things will taste on the day and the presentation. Almost everything was perfect.
Those chicken satays look so good and what is better than Disney Cake?
The chicken satays were really good, they will be saving us a plate since we'll be taking pictures during the cocktail hour. And The cake is delicious, can't wait to see it all put together.
Oh reservation drama! I'm glad you got it sorted out - planning trips with others always creates some drama to happen.
It definitely is a lot more complicated when going with others. I'm glad it worked out in the end.
