Great spot too. If you want to make his day, wander over towards the little restaurant in between Yacht and Beach Club (more towards Beach Club technically) called Beaches and Cream. They've got a lot of good ice cream there and he'd have a fun time there. Also, the five cheese Grilled Cheese sandwiches there are legit.

Love Beaches and Cream. I heard they are expanding the restaurant. Really need more seating with as popular they have become.

Kitchen sink is the best.

Definitely goes well with the heat outside.

Ramen looks good!

The aftermath.

Very good meal. Just be open to the different timing of 8 simultaneous kitchens.

Have a safe and fun trip! Thanks again for this fun contest, much appreciated!

What would your review of Morimoto be? I am coming up on our dining plans and looking for some new restaurants to try.

I really enjoy it. A lot.

Can be on the pricey side depending on what you order. I would recommend looking at the menu beforehand. However its definitely on my short list of places to eat for my non themepark travel days.

Big thing I would say is things might come out in a weird order or timing. They have 8 separate kitchens and things get sent out as they are done. This bothers some people, but I haven't had it be an issue this time or the previous time I went.

Grandparents are spoiling him. He wouldn't let go of his duplos from the Lego store

For those that guessed that his first tantrum would be at morimoto or the hotel, neither of those are at a themepark so I recommend changing your guess. Luckily enough for us, while he got a hangry, no meltdown.

It's only a matter of when (and for you all where) not if.

We are off to the animal kingdom this morning. He has some character meet and greets so we will find out if he has a favorite or will recoil (I should really give those a try in my next irons) in horror.

Went for the morning run to sweat everything out. So many memories of this place. I remember doing the run around epcot resort area 9 years ago before I reported to west point and today is the 5th anniversary of my graduation.

On Monday my family and I will descend on the happiest place on Earth (or is that Disneyland). I will be there through Friday

We will be celebrating a number of things while I'm their. My son's first Birthday and my wife's and my fifth anniversary.

If anyone knows me in real life I have stockpiled may too much golf gear in my house. Like I went through the process of writing it all down to sell on the forum and realized it would of taken way too many posts to get all the pictures in.

With that said, to help bring the forum along to celebrate this past year and the time at Disney I will be giving away some golf gear. Things may range from drivers (srixon z785 or ping g400 lst) , iron sets (srixon z785), wedges (sm6/sm7, cobra) and putters (ping vault, taylormade spider(s)). Golf balls, golf bags, and exotic shafts are all on the table. I haven't fully decided yet but the prizes will be good. But there will be three winners.

Contest 1: Which Disney Characters face and costume will my son like the best? Pick two and whoever is most right will win.

Contest 2: What will my first and last alcoholic drink be? Winner would be whoever is most correct on the two drinks.

Contest 3: Where does my son have his first tantrum on a Disney themepark Property (areas you need to have a ticket to get into). Choose a ride, a restaurant, a themepark, and area within a themepark (ie tomorrowland).

Some helpful hints: I've posted quite a bit on things I like to drink and my first meal will be at morimoto and last at the jungle canteen. I will be staying on property near epcot. My son has been watching disney junior alot and has seen a lot of the 90s movies.

For dinner tonight we went to Be Our Guest. I didnt have a chance to go before so this was a new experience.

It's a price fix menu, $60 per person and includes appetizer, main meal, and a trio of desserts. A soft drink is also included.

My son got to meet the Beast. When he first saw him, my son was a little scared but did really well for the character greet.

The food was really good. Despite how much food this place is turning out my steak was cooked to perfection. My son really enjoyed some lamb chops as well.

 

[M2Giles]

And we have an early favorite for the face character.
