Noshing In Wonderland #7: The Hollywood Brown Derby Lounge, or “Above all the lights with a passion that kills…”

And we’re talking about food again. At Disney. Go figure. Our subject for today is The Hollywood Brown Derby Lounge, nestled away in the snug confines of Disney’s Hollywood Studios on the corner of “Hollywood” and “Sunset”. The Hollywood Brown Derby restaurant is, by itself, much beloved by Disney foodies everywhere, but in today’s review…

Noshing In Wonderland #6: Flying Fish Cafe, or: “All that night and all the next, swam without looking back…”

The Flying Fish Cafe, located at the Boardwalk Resort in Walt Disney World, is categorized (by Disney) as a “signature” dining experience, which means everything is priced with an even more outrageous mark-up than Disney is used to getting away with. That’s to be expected, of course, but the even bigger question remains “Is it…

Noshing In Wonderland #5: Whispering Canyon Cafe vs. Kona Cafe, or: “I can hear old guitars a playing, on the beach at Hoonaunau…”

Boots & I recently hit the 2013 International Food and Wine Festival at Epcot in Walt Disney World, but we couldn’t let our Lake Buena Vista excursion pass us by without a few other miscellaneous adventures in Disney Dining. So this time around, we decided to check out two restaurants at their Deluxe resorts: the…

Noshing In Wonderland #4: The 2013 Epcot International Food & Wine Festival, or: “Before you know it, we’ll be down to our last dime…”

Or yet another episode of “This Is Why I Run”… In what’s become a celebrated annual tradition for Ziggy-Piggy Foodies at Walt Disney World, Epcot presents their International Food and Wine Festival every fall. Between late September 27th and November 11th of this year, a virtual whirlwind of culinary activity takes over WDW’s second theme…

Noshing In Wonderland #3: Cathay Circle Restaurant (Disney Dining Review), or: “And the world is like an apple, whirling silently in space…”

Well… it’s not like you go and spend five nights at Disneyland, and NOT stuff your face, right? As part of our entire Disneyland Half Marathon Weekend experience, Boots & I decided to take advantage of the variety of restaurants around the entire resort area. There were certainly plenty of options available: between Downtown Disney,…

Noshing in Wonderland #2: “The Wave” (Disney Dining review), or: “For you, the living, this mash was meant too…”

Welcome to the second installment of Noshing in Wonderland, my inconsistently updated and sporadically interesting take on dining around the various Disney properties. I know several of you are thinking to yourselves right now: “What the hell happened to the FIRST installment?” Good question. You’ve got a lot of nerve, mister. Truth of the matter…

Micky Dolenz, Tables in Wonderland, and Adventures in Disney Dining, or: “The ego sings of castles and kings and things that go with a life of style…”

So Boots and I loaded up the family truckster last Saturday and made the drive up to Orlando. Our rationale for going up there was the “free” Micky Dolenz concert at EPCOT’s Flower and Garden Festival. I say “free” in “quotes” because if you “factor in” gas, tolls, hotels, and our Annual Passholder payments we…
