It's hard to believe that I'll be at WDW in less than 2 weeks!! And I just wanted to start up my Dining Reviews Thread because I should be posting it LIVE daily from WDW. This will be Winnie & my third trip to WDW together, but our first trip where we can legally drink. Knowing us I would also expect a "Margaritas around the World" review hehe. Here is a list of the restaurants we will be reviewing

Day 1
**Lunch**
Wolfgang Puck Express

Tink = Four Cheese Macaroni, This is one of my favorite items in all of Disney.

Winnie = Four Cheese Pizza, my friend loved this pizza, she said it was very rich, garlicy and cheesy

DMom = Roasted Veggie and Goat Cheese Sandwich, she could not rave enough about this. It was served on Foccacia bread with a goat cheese spread and a basil pesto. The veggies were yellow and red bell peppers, eggplant and onions i believe.

DDad = Smoked Turkey Club, He said it was ok, good and filling but nothing spectacular

Shared by All = Herbed French Fries, these were awesome, we thought of them as kicked up McDonald's fries (we love McDonald's fries LOL)

This is definitely one of our new favorite resaurants. We will be returning without doubt on our next trip to the World. Everything was delicious and we all shared bits of our entrees around.

Day 2

**Lunch**
Columbia Harbor House
Tink & Winnie

Winnie had the Garden Galley Salad and loved it. However her iced tea was disgusting, it was literally cold tea with no sweetener (eww!)

I had the chicken finger basket with fries and loved it as usual. Best chicken fingers on property in my humble opinion.


**Dinner**
Ohana

This meal was just Winnie and I and it was our first time to Ohana, we loved it!

Wontons with sauces

Salad

Sticky Wings

Sweet and Sour Shrimp

Lapu Lapu

After this we forgot to take any more pictures because we were digging in! The wontons were very nice but we weren't really fond of any of the sauces. The salad was ok, but the shrimp were out of this world and the pieces of pineapple in the sweet and sour sauce were delicious. The wings were pretty much the same as the ones we had the night before at Kona Cafe (which we adored) so they were gobbled up quickly. Both of us favoured the turkey, then the pork, then the steak and neither of us really cared for the sausage. The potatoes - oh my god - we licked the plate clean! And last, but certainly not least, the bread pudding....one word YUM!

Upcoming Reviews

Oh to be 21 again! ENJOY YOURSELF!!!!!!!!!! Having kids is the most wonderful thing in the world, but having a margarita with your best friend is a close second! ;)
 
I was going to say "Oh to be 21 again" but someone beat me to it.

We'll be there the same time as you (Aug. 26-Sept. 3) and will be dining at a lot of the same places. It will be interesting to see if our views in our reviews match when we get back.
 
Can't wait to hear your reviews as we are eating at some of the same places for the first time. Have a great time...but don't drink "too" much, don't want hangovers!!!! But have one for me!!! :thumbsup2
