Day 16 - Mickey’s not so scary Halloween party treats

We had a reservation for Be our guest but decided we were having so much fun and wanted to try the sweet options on the Halloween night menu that we cancelled.

Maleficient Ice Cream

The Maleficient ice cream is found at Storybook treats near It’s a small world, with chocolate horns a cone and a lime ice cream it really tasted more like a sorbet and wasn’t very creamy at all, it was nice with the chocolate horns and tasted like the chocolate lime sweets you can get but the flavour was tangy and a bit overwhelming after a bit - very refreshing through - was around $6

Worms and Dirt

This can be found at Peco’s Bills, this was really nice however it was considerably smaller than it looks on the posters - we’ve put it next to a phone to show the scale - was yummy though and was $4.49

Strawberry Lemonade Slushie

Wanting a refreshing drink there is a seasonal slushie on the menu at Peco’s bills which is a strawberry lemonade slushy - this was $6 and unfortunately just tasted of lemon - it was very sweet and tangy and wouldn’t get it again

Not so Poison Apple Cupcake

This can be found at the Main Street bakery and is a apple cinnamon cupcake with a pecan apple pie filling and cinnamon glaze on top - it was delicious but with a cinnamon being the main taste - it is also huge - couldn’t get through 1/2 and it had tonnes of butter cream on it - was £6.99 but worth it

Overall a great night and I would highly recommend a visit to MNSSHP

Wow thats a lot of candy! Sounds really fun

The Halloween treats look fabulous, I love the poison apple cupcake it looks so cute.

My son ordered the buffalo something pizza, he does love pizza and he said this was and is the best pizza he has ever eaten!

Had a binge read of this and feel slightly crazy after reading all the lovely food to be commenting on the introduction to a Brookie! I can’t believe we have never had one before, I told my daughter they exist and she needs to remember she’ll need one when we get back to Universal. You have made me want to order room service there too, the pineapple pancakes for breakfast looked my favourite. I agree with you on the Voodoo doughnut it just seemed to be the best of the bunch we tried too. I’m impressed you managed to do all the houses at HHN.
Poor Disney doesn’t seem to be doing as well with the meals, definitely no need for rudeness either!
Your poor toes, I hope they are better. I like your MNSSHP haul your snack treats looked great too. Looking forward to the rest of your trip.

Day 17 - Sci-Fi Diner - Hollywood Studios

I had been trying to get a reservation here for lunch for the past two visits and never succeeded so I was really happy to get this one. The reservation was at 1:10pm so I made sure that we didn’t eat in the morning so that we were hungry.

We waited no more than 5 minutes to be seated but there were loads of people waiting for standby tables.

The theming in here is brilliant, the theme is based on a drive in outside cinema and you sit at your table in the excellently themed 50’s vehicles whilst vintage sci-fi clips and cartoons are played on the cinema screen.

Here’s the menu - its pretty dark in here so you may not be able to make it out

We both ordered chocolate milkshakes for a drink with water on the side.

The milkshakes were yummy and not too heavy or overly sweet.

For my main I ordered the Sci Fi seasonal speciality burger which was a beef patty, fried green tomato’s, pimento cheese, lettuce, bacon and a delicious sauce, This came with fries. The burger was delicious, moist and the green tomato’s really worked with the pimento cheese, the fries here are chunky and seasoned well - more like a chip shop chip but with pepper on it as well as salt. I would give my meal 8/10

Dan ordered the classic cheese burger minus the salad, he said that his burger was juicy, flavourful and just what he needed - he gives his meal a 7/10

Bill came to around $50 before tip and we would recommend

Day 17 - Art Smiths Homecomin

When booking this restaurant I had heard many excellent reviews and found it hard to find a bad one - and now I know why - the food here is incredible - if you want some delicious southern comfort food which is cooked well and flavoursome dont delay as reservations are hard to come by here for a good reason

To start I ordered a cocktail - The Apple Pie A’la Mode - Ole Smokey Apple Pie Moonshine, vanilla vodka, apple juice, cinnamon, house-made simple syrup and a dash of lemon - this was really nice - super strong though and I’m glad it had ice in it as it watered it down nicely the more I drank.

Dan had an O’Doules non alcoholic lager

For my entree I ordered the Fried Chicken & Doughnuts -
Two pieces of Chef Art Smith's famous fried chicken served with house-made sugar doughnuts and creamy mashed potatoes, I also ordered a side of Mac and cheese - Now this was amazing the chicken was moist and coated in a really tasty spicy fried batter, the mash was the best mash I have ever eaten - buttery, creamy and just perfect, the doughnuts were soft and had a cinnamon sugar taste and the mac and cheese was just wow - was creamy, cheesy and had a mound of cheese on top - every time you picked some up you got a fantastic cheesepull

Dan ordered the Chopped Pork Barbecue Plate
Dressed with HFK sweet and spicy barbecue sauce served with Momma's mac and cheese and a cheddar drop biscuit, Dan said it was delicious and the best meal that we have eaten on the entire holiday, the pork was coated in the perfect sweet and spicy bbq sauce and was cooked low and slow, it was fantastic and pulled apart and melted in the mouth, the cheddar drop biscuit was crunchy and delicious and the mac and cheese amazing, he wanted to eat it all but just couldn’t fit it in.

We must also mention the service here - everyone was so friendly from check in to the front of house to the service and they all made an effort to make sure we were happy, the service was also not rushed and the decoration comfortable and welcoming - It’s a first but this meal gets 10/10 from us both - if we can get another reservation we’ll go back - if not we’ll definitely be back on our next trip. Bill came to £81.

Day 17 - Amorettes Patisserie

Following our epic meal at Art Smiths we couldn’t fit dessert in but decided to grab some cakes from Amorettes and eat them at the hotel when we had some more room.

As you walk into Amorettes you can see the bakers decorating the cakes and there is a display of savoury sandwiches, sweet and Savory crepes and then the patisserie counter.

I ordered a Mickey Mouse which is Chocolate Chiffon Cake, Dark Chocolate Mousse and White Chocolate Mousse in a mirror glacé with Chocolate Mickey ears and tail, This was lovely, the main taste was milk chocolate though as the white chocolate mousse flavour didn’t fully come through- I only ate half as I bought 2 items to try

Next up was the Sunset on mile marker - Key lime tart - this was a lime tart with Chantilly and Baked Meringue - this was tangy but also delicious and light - the meringue was so yummy I could of ate a bowl of just that.

Dan ordered the Avant Garde which was chocolate mousse, Chocolate Chiffon Cake and Chocolate Crumble - Dan said this this was rich with dark chocolate, more of a mousse than a cake and was delicious

Overall we’d give these cakes a 9/10 - Bill was $27 so expensive but really good

Day 18 -Starbucks Celebration

We went for a walk around Celebration this morning and popped into the Starbucks on in the town centre for some breakfast.

We both ordered the double smoked, bacon, egg and cheddar sandwich - this was nice, just usual starbucks standard fare, Dan also got a latte. Total came to £14 ish -overall a 6/10
