Rose and Crown Dining Room Review

Rose and Crown Dining Room is located in the United Kingdom Pavilion. (For a review of the United Kingdom, click here!)

Rose and Crown has indoor and outdoor seating. I enjoy seating outside because you get a great view of the World Showcases Lagoon. One time it was storming while we were eating outside at Rose and Crown and the Cast Members pulled down these plastic covers to protect us from the rain. (There was thunder and lightning too!)

The rain is just starting!
Now the screen is pulled down, but it was raining hard and windy!
The rest of the meal was with the closed screen.

I had fish and chips. In the United Kingdom chips are French fries. The fish and chips are really good! I recommend trying them. My mom had the Shepherd’s Pie and said she loved it. For dessert I had the English Trifle. It has layers of strawberries, vanilla custard, graham crackers, and whipped cream with Mickey Mouse Sprinkles.

The kid size Fish and Chips!
An adult Fish and Chips!
Shepherd’s Pie!

If you make a reservation to go to Rose and Crown for dinner at 8:30 pm or later, you have a great view of the fireworks.

In the background you can see the fireworks being set up on the World Showcase Lagoon.

I give Rose and Crown five Mickey Bars.

Takumi-Tei translates to “house of the artisan.” Each room will have handcraft artwork that celebrates the nature element.

Takumi-Tei even has a dress code.

Allowed for boys:

Must wear slacks or dress shorts and collared shirts.

Jeans are allowed if in good condition.

Allowed for girls:

Must wear Capri pants, skirts, dresses or dress shorts.

Jeans are allowed if in good condition.

Not allowed:

This restaurant sounds very interesting! For more information on the Japan Pavilion at Epcot, click here.

A Beginner’s Guide to Tomorrowland

Tomorrowland is designed to look like the future! It is located in the Magic Kingdom and it is also home to my favorite ride. I will tell you what ride that is soon.

What a great view from the Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover!

Rides: Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover is a calming ride that gives you a tour of all of Tomorrowland and a great view. One time when we were on the ride it stopped working and we were stuck for 10 minutes! It was crazy! Cast members had to come and bring us to the exit. Tomorrowland Speedway is where you are allowed to drive a car even if you’re not 16! The only problem with this ride is that it smells A LOT like gas. Remember how I said that my favorite ride is in Tomorrowland? Well, I was talking about Space Mountain. (For a Space Mountain review click here!) Space Mountain is a roller coaster in the dark. Carousel of Progress is a relaxing ride for anyone and shows you how far we have come from the turn of the twentieth century. Astro Orbiter is literally on top of Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover. It is basically like Dumbo, but faster and higher. Monsters, Inc. Laugh Floor is a sit down indoor show. Your friends from Monsters, Inc. are trying to give their city electricity from your laughter. Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger Spin is a game similar to Toy Story Mania. (For a Toy Story Mania review click here!) You are basically shooting lasers and trying to take down Emperor Zurg.

The Carousel of Progress!

Food: Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Cafe has burgers, chicken, soups and salads. Tomorrowland Terrace Restaurant is open seasonally. Here is a tip: the terrace has a great view of Cinderella’s Castle and it is the location for the Happily Ever After Dessert party. Auntie Gravity’s Galactic Goodies has some delicious sundaes, smoothies, and ice cream. The Lunching Pad has pulled pork sandwiches and snacks. Joffrey’s Revive has some HUGE donuts and recently they have been selling miniature donuts.

The Astro Orbiter is really high in the sky!

Shopping: Merchant of Venus has your favorite character’s merchandise. Mickey’s Star Traders has a lot of Mickey Mouse merchandise.

Buzz!

Teppan Edo Review

At Teppan Edo, the chefs cook right in front of you!

On my last trip to Disney World we went to Teppan Edo in the Japan Pavilion. (To learn more about the Japan Pavilion click here!)

You sit with another family as the chef cooks in front of you. It’s really cool to see the chef cook the food!

The volcano!

I had Ebi. Ebi is 10 grilled shrimp served with a garden salad, udon noodles, vegetables, and steamed white rice. For the full menu, click here.

Everything was delicious and I love watching the chefs cook. I give Teppan Edo five Mickey Bars!!

Hope you are hungry!

If you are going to visit the Japan Pavilion, don’t forget to visit Teppan Edo!

Limited Edition Mickey Bars!!!!

You heard me correctly! You can now buy Mickey Bars at your local supermarket!! I found a whole aisle of these Mickey Bars. This is the first time that you can buy Mickey Bars outside of Disney property.

Now let’s review the treat! I did notice that these Mickey Bars are smaller than the ones at Disney World, but that’s OK. Just as a reminder, Mickey Bars have frozen vanilla ice cream with a hard chocolate shell on the outside shaped like Mickey’s face and ears. These are delicious and taste like they do at the parks.

The Mickey Bars are in the supermarkets for a limited time, so grab them quickly!

Want to know what other Mickey food you can get for a limited time? Check out some of my earlier blogs!
