Flame Tree Barbecue Review

Flame Tree Barbecue is in Animal Kingdom. The seating is all outdoors next to a pond with animals.

Yes, animals!

A scary thing actually happened to us 4 years ago. We were sitting outside next to the pond and this large animal walked up to our table and stared directly at me!

Then he ate my brother’s french fries! He then apparently was in the mood for a pulled pork sandwich because he jumped on the table and ate my dad’s pulled pork sandwich!

The bird noticing my dad’s pulled pork sandwich!

My dad told the people that worked at Flame Tree Barbecue that a bird had eaten his pulled pork sandwich so they gave him another pulled pork sandwich.

Now, back in August, we had the courage to go back to Flame Tree Barbecue.

I had the Smoked Pulled Pork Sandwich. It was really good and I would recommend getting it. The Pulled Pork Sandwich comes with cole slaw so I asked not to have it on my sandwich. It came with beans but I did not eat them because I don’t like beans.

My dad also ate the Pulled Pork Sandwich but his had cole slaw.

My mom ate the 1/2 chicken with cole slaw and beans.

My brother had a hot dog from the kid’s menu. (The kid’s menu is for kids 9 and under.)

I give Flame Tree Barbecue 5 Mickey Bars!!!! A bird didn’t take our food!!!

50’s Prime Time Diner Review

50’s Prime Time Diner is a restaurant in Hollywood Studios. The entire inside of the restaurant transforms you to the 1950’s. They even have TV’s playing black and white shows that you can watch while you eat.

I had the Sustainable Verlasso Salmon. The salmon is seasonal so it may be different from mine when you get it. It was really good!

My brother ordered on the kids menu and ate Grandpa’s Grilled Chicken.

My dad ate Dad’s Stuffed Pork Chop. That is gouda cheese, apples, and herbs with roasted potatoes and carrots. He thought it was good but not great.

My mom ate Cousin Megan’s Traditional Meatloaf. That is a blend of beef and pork topped with tomato glaze, roasted garlic, mashed potatoes, and green beans. She thought it tasted good.

For dessert we had the No Sugar Added Cheesecake with whipped cream and a strawberry. It was pretty good.

I give 50’s Prime Time Diner 4 Mickey Bars!

The cheesecake was only okay but everything else was good.

Chefs de France Review

Chefs de France is located in the France pavilion in Epcot.

This last August was my first time going to Chefs de France since I was really little.

First they give you a baguette.

I ate the Gratin de Macaroni. It was really good and I would really recommend getting it because it tastes a lot better than Kraft Macaroni.

My mom ate Lasagnes de Legumes du Soleil a l’Huile d’Olive au Thym. That is zucchini, eggplant, bell peppers, onions, and tomatoes baked into pasta. She thought her food tasted delicious.

My dad ate Assiette du Pecheur. That is monkfish, shrimp, cod fish, rice pilaf, peas, and tomatoes. My dad thought it was okay.

My brother had chicken with french fries from the kids menu. He thought his food was good too.

I give Chefs de France 5 Mickey Bars!!

The food tasted good and I don’t remember it taking a long time to get our food.

The Edison Review

The Edison is a restaurant located in Disney Springs.

The restaurant plays old shows that are black and white all over the walls with a projector. It is actually really cool and makes The Edison unique.

I decided to get the pot of macaroni and cheese on the kid’s menu. If you are not very hungry or just don’t eat a lot of food, I would recommend getting the macaroni and cheese on the kid’s menu because then you do not waste a ton of food.

They give you the macaroni and cheese in a pot!

I also had a salad.

I ate some fruit too.

My mom had Oh Bacon Baked Mac and Cheese from the adult menu. It is made with crispy maple black pepper bacon baked with cavatappi pasta, melted fontina, muenster, cheddar, and alpine Swiss. Her macaroni and cheese was DELICIOUS but GINORMOUS! It was too much food.

My dad also had macaroni and cheese but his was called Swine and Cheese Baked Mac and Cheese. His dish was the same as my mom’s except that it had 24-hour slow-roasted hand-pulled BBQ pork shoulder instead of bacon. He said that he liked my mom’s macaroni and cheese with bacon better, his was a little dry. My dad also agrees with my mom that it was way too much food. They both had a lot of food left over.

My brother had a grilled cheese sandwich with french fries from the kids menu. He thought it was delicious.

If you would like to order anything on the adult menu for dessert here is the menu.

My meal came with a choice of either a free chocolate chip cookie or vanilla ice cream. I ate the chocolate chip cookie and it was good.

My brother’s meal also came with a free dessert so he decided to get vanilla ice cream.

I give The Edison 4 Mickey bars!!

The Edison has 4 Mickey bars because my parents had WAY too much food. Besides that though everything else was fine.

California Grill Review

California Grill is located in the Contemporary Resort. We went to California Grill last time I went to Disney World. Did I enjoy it?

They gave us bread.

They also gave us an assortment of cheeses.

Here is a list of the cheeses.

I had the wood-burning oven pepperoni pizza with no basil oregano pistou. It was really good!

My mom got the exact same thing as me except with basil oregano pistou.

My dad had the Oak Fired Filet of Beef. He liked it.

My brother got the cheese pizza from the kids menu.

For dessert my mom and I had the Warm Valrohna Chocolate Cake. It comes with one scoop of vanilla ice cream and chocolate whipped panna cotta. IT WAS SO GOOD!!!!!

My dad and brother had for dessert Plant-Based Lavender Donuts. They liked them. (One of the donuts contains alcohol so make sure you know which one this one is so you do not eat it. My brother did NOT eat the alcohol donut. My dad ate it.)

I give California Grill 4 Mickey Bars! The food took way too long but you get a great view of the fireworks and California Grill has a balcony so you can watch the fireworks.

Chef Mickey’s Review

Chef Mickey’s is located in The Contemporary Resort. Back in August, I went to Chef Mickey’s for the first time.

Chef Mickey’s is a buffet. A buffet means that the chefs put out the food and you have to get it yourself.

I had macaroni and cheese, a croissant, and piece of turkey.

It was okay but not extraordinary or something so good that I would have seconds. My mom had macaroni and cheese, meatballs, green beans, a salad, and tater tots. She said it was okay.

My dad had shrimp, corn, tater tots, turkey, asparagus, beef, and olives. He thought it was good.

My brother had chicken tenders, tater tots, a hot dog, shrimp, and turkey. “It was good,” he said.

Another thing that is really cool about Chef Mickey’s is that while you are eating Chef Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, Pluto, and Donald all come to take pictures with you at your table.

They are all dressed up like chefs!

Can you tell?

The star of the restaurant, Chef Mickey!

I give Chef Mickey’s two Mickey bars! We all agreed that the food was only okay. A pro to Chef Mickey’s though is that you get to see Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, Pluto, and Donald all dressed up. The people at Chef Mickey’s make sure you see all the characters before you finish your meal. A con is that we waited for an hour to get seated. When we complained the people that work at Chef Mickey’s gave us a FastPass+ to make up for the wait.

Disney’s Contemporary Resort

Back in August I stayed at Disney’s Contemporary Resort. Want to know what it was like? Keep reading to find out!

Since the Contemporary Resort is a Disney hotel, you can arrive in a Minnie van! (A Minnie van is just like an Uber or Lyft.)

When you walk inside don’t forget to trade a pin!

The Contemporary Resort has three restaurants: The Wave…. Update: Steakhouse 71 has replaced The Wave.

…Chef Mickey’s……..

and California Grill. I went to both Chef Mickey’s and California Grill and will give you separate reviews on those restaurants.

Do you want to know the best part about The Contemporary Resort? You can walk or take the monorail to get to Magic Kingdom. The monorail goes into the hotel!

Here are some pictures from the room we stayed in.

The TV has a channel that plays the same music live from the fireworks in Magic Kingdom so you can watch the fireworks on the balcony.

The people who cleaned our room were really nice. One of them gave us a balloon! We still have it 3 months later.

They also did this to my Minnie ears.

The view from the balcony was amazing and perfect for seeing fireworks in the sky and light shows on the water.

Here is the view of the fireworks at night.

The Contemporary Resort also has many stores that you can shop in.

Don’t forget to get involved in the activites at the resort! Many of them are free!

If you haven’t noticed I REALLY liked the Contemporary Resort and think you should stay there on your next Disney World trip.

Tutto Italia Ristorante Review

I went to Tutto Italia (located in the Italy pavilion) for the first time in a long time!

First they give you bread, bread sticks, olives and olive oil for the bread as a starter.

I had the lasagna. It was really good and I was very hungry so I devoured it!

My brother had pepperoni pizza from the kids menu.

My mom had the spaghetti with meatballs. She said that they were really good and you should have it when you are there.

My dad had the ziti and he also enjoyed this meal. The ziti comes with sweet sausage, caramelized onions, and creamy sauce.

I give Tutto Italia five Mickey Bars!!! I honestly do not have any complaints!

Casey’s Corner Review

Casey’s Corner is located in Main Street U.S.A.

Casey’s Corner is supposed to look like an old baseball stadium.

I had the hot dog with nothing on it. It was not that good to be completely honest with you. I think the hot dogs I make at my house are better.

My dad had the Corn Dog Nuggets. My dad did not like the Corn Dog Nuggets.

My mom and brother got the hot dogs too. My brother and mom agreed with me.

Another problem about Casey’s Corner is that there is not enough seating. We looked in and outside of the restaurant for seating and struggled to find a spot. (Casey’s Corner has outside seating and indoor seating.)

For dessert I had Mickey’s Celebration Brownie. This was my favorite thing at Casey’s Corner! The brownie tastes nice and fudgy. Note: Mickey’s Celebration Brownie is NOT available anymore. It was available for Mickey’s Surprise Celebration which ended on September 30, 2019.

I give Casey’s Corner two Mickey Bars.

PizzeRizzo Review

PizzeRizzo is in Hollywood Studios and yes, they sell pizza. Did I like Rizzo the rat from the Muppets pizza? Keep reading to find out!

First, you order your food and then find a table to sit at. You can also buy the Souvenir Alien Sipper Cup! It turns on and starts to glow!

I got the cheese pizza. It was really good. The only problem is it’s not enough food. I would recommend getting two if you are really hungry like I was.

The cheese pizza also comes with a Caesar Salad. It was pretty good.

My mom got the meatball sub. She also really enjoyed it.

Her meatball sub also came with a Caesar salad.

My brother also got a cheese pizza and my dad got a pepperoni pizza. They both enjoyed their meals. My dad’s pepperoni pizza also came with a Caesar Salad. (My brother’s didn’t because he ordered from the kids menu.)

My brother’s cheese pizza is on the left and my dad’s pepperoni pizza is on the right.

I give PizzeRizzo five Mickey Bars!!
