Disney's Tiffins Restaurant at Animal Kingdom Review & Pics

Disney's Tiffins Restaurant at Animal Kingdom 

You can find Tiffins restaurant at Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park. It is next to where all of the new Pandora attractions will be. I actually cancelled another ADR to get into Tiffins. I was told by many friends that I NEEDED to eat here & I am so happy that I did! First off I want to say that I am not a very adventurous eater & can be very boring & picky. Lately I am trying to change that. If you are a picky eater I highly recommend you try this place! I was a little scared but am glad I went through with it.

I loved the open floor plan of the restaurant! It wasn't loud like I thought it would be although it wasn't very busy when we went. I could only get a 1PM lunch ADR. The couple next to us complained that they missed a Fastpass due to their reservation & were given a new Fastpass to any park for any ride......

I loved the decor here!

Love the light up art work

We sat near this & it was my favorite. It is a 3D art piece!

Cool Menu!

I loved the cool leather bound menus! Our Waiter was Mo and he was my favorite waiter our whole time at Walt Disney World. I highly recommend you request him. 

You have the option of ordering a lighter lunch or you can order from the full menu. 

The complimentary bread came with olive oil mixed with Pomegranate. I wasn't a big fan of this but my husband loved it. 

We ordered the cheese board & the Grilled Octopus. I was a little scared to try the Octopus but it did NOT disappoint! My husband was in the bathroom when our food arrived & I devoured a lot of the octopus & he was shocked! The mustard sauce it comes with was really tasty! 

The cheese board had the most amazing nuts & berries on it. They put caramel on the blue cheese & it actually went very well with it! We finished all of the cheese except for the blue cheese. I loved the two soft cheeses the most but all were excellent.

I wanted to try one of their signature cocktails & chose the Annapurna Zing. It was a lot sweeter than I thought it was going to be. I would order this again in a heartbeat. My husband chose the Robust red wine flight & said he would order it again. 

For lunch we both chose the Wagyu Striploin & short rib. The waiter recommended that or the fresh fish they offer. This steak was SUPERB! It was California Grill level quality! We both ordered it medium rare & it was perfection! I recommend eating the short rib first & then finish with the strip loin. The meat was so tender, juicy & AMAZING!!!! I would order this 1,000,000,000 times over. :) Can you tell how much I loved this?! LOL 

We were given this by our waiter. The pink drop is hibiscus meringue. The chewy looking thing is a pineapple sugar candy & the last is a truffle. I enjoyed the truffle & pineapple candy as I found the meringue to have a bitter flavor. 

I ordered the chocolate ganache & I actually liked it better than the one they serve at California Grill! The caramelized bananas did it for me along with the vanilla cream.

My husband chose the lime cheesecake. I tasted a bite but I'm not a real fan of lemon or lime desserts so I'm not the best person to ask. ;) He loved it.

My husband also ordered Earl Grey tea with some extra lemons & we loved the extra special touches everything had. 

Tiffins gives out different collection cards that were designed by Disney Imagineer Joe Rohde. I believe he said there are 7 cards to collect in all.  

My final thoughts that this place is a wonderful addition to the parks & Animal Kingdom desperately needed this! Book your ADRs fast! If you cannot get into California Grill this would be a great replacement ADR.

Walt Disney Hometown Museum Marceline, MO Gift Shop 

We got to our tour a little bit early so we had time to look around the gift shop first. I thought the merchandise was well priced & it wasn't the Parks kinda pricing. Saying that I did buy a lot of things LOL Is there anything missing that you think they need? 

Tin sign & Pins

Pretty much all the tshirts were gone. I got one of the last ones!

Worlds of Fun Battle Creek BBQ Review & Pics...

Worlds of Fun Battle Creek BBQ Review

My husband begged me to go here on our vacation to Kansas City. He has fond memories of this place from his childhood. I will write a separate review for the theme park but today we are talking about food!

I don't know about you but anytime I go to a Theme Park other than Disney I prepare myself for really bad food. I was hoping since we were in BBQ country that this place would be spot on. 

Battle Creek BBQ is located across from where you get on the train. There is a large outdoor area with an outside bar but that is another review for another day with plenty of seating inside as well. 

The decor in this place is super homey AND they were playing "Good Times" in the restaurant which I love! I used to watch that show growing up. It was nicer inside than I anticipated!

The only flaw with this place is how slow the line moves because they only have one person working each station BUT everything is homemade for the most part so it is worth the wait! 

You pass this on the wall before you see the cashier. You order & pay first. Then you tell each station what you ordered. Not the best system. 

My husband ordered BBQ Nachos while I got the pork sandwich with a side of mac & cheese. I cannot begin to describe how amazing this BBQ was. This by far surpasses the BBQ at Flametree in Animal Kingdom. The hold up in the line was EVERYONE was ordering the BBQ Nachos. This consists of pulled pork, nacho cheese, pork & beans. My husband ate the WHOLE thing himself! My mac & cheese was homemade & not some frozen kind of mess! It was melt in your mouth goodness. They had regular BBQ sauce or spicy sauce that is homemade! I chose the regular sauce & it was sweet & very good. 

They also offered fresh cut jalapeños & my husband got some for his nachos.

Like I said the only negative here is the wait. We were here on a slower day & still waited from start to finish about 20-25 minutes in line. I couldn't imagine waiting in that line over the summer unless it was better staffed! 

This did not break the bank too bad. You expect Amusement Park food to be a little pricey. The girls who were working here were super friendly & doing the best they could with the line. If you find yourself at Worlds of Fun please try this place & you will not be disappointed! ;)

Walt's School Desk from Marceline, MO

Walt's School Desk from Marceline, MO

I had the honor of visiting the Walt Disney Family Museum in Marceline, MO. I learned a lot of new Disney trivia & I look forward to sharing with everyone in a new blog series!

One of the things I was most surprised by was that One Man's Dream in Disney's Hollywood Studios does NOT have the original school desk of Walt Disney! It is a replica. A few years ago they contacted WDW & asked for the desk back. They let them borrow it for the One Man's Dream exhibit but after many years of them having it they politely asked for it back. :) I loved this tour because I knew all the answers to the Tour Guides questions in my group. :) 

This makes me wonder if any of the other items in One Man's Dream are replicas or are they real???

They have a fake classroom upstairs of what Walt's Classroom would've looked like. They asked visitors to draw a Mickey Mouse on the chalkboard.

I'm a true artist right? ;) 

Please feel free to ask me any questions about my trip to Marceline & I might be able to write up a blog about it for you!
