Such a yummy brunch cocktail!I ordered the mimosa and Pat ordered the Bellini. While they were both good, I ended up stealing more of his!
I loved the quiche. There are so many good choices on the menu. What did you order?I thought about the quiche, that looks so good!
Thanks so much for posting the picture of us. I had been scanning the restaurant looking for you but never realized you were right behind us in that alcove!It was SO nice to meet you! I had read about your outfit in your pre-trip report, so I was looking out for you that morning I was surprised when I realized your table was right behind ours! This has never happened before on the Dis, but I spy my daughter in the background of one of your pictures It looks like you had a great meal with awesome character interaction, this is still one of my favorite character meals for the interactions!
Both Kathy and Billie are amazing and so fun to hang out with.Nice! I've not met either, but have "seen" them both on the Dis.
Ooops yes. It was Claire's mom who decided to join in at the last minute so the reservation was originally for 4.Um... that's two people?
Good choice!I'll have one of each, thankyouverymuch.
You will love it! Any trip planned for this summer?I'll have to try to remember that.
Haha! This is what happens when you read each others PTR. I had been scanning the restaurant for Jessica but she found me first!Well, look at you! You're famous!
LwtL is always a favourite. I never tire of it.You had a great morning at Epcot before your brunch! I’m sorry you missed out on Soarin’ but glad you enjoyed the overlays at LWTL.
It was so nice to meet Jessica. Spending time with Kathy and Billie is always a treat!Topolino’s looks delicious! It’s fun to see pictures of Kathy and Billie (I miss seeing them on the DIS!) and glad you enjoyed your brunch. How fun that you ran into Jessica’s family, too!
Thanks Caroline! I am so glad you recommended Topolinos.Looks like a wonderful brunch with awesome Disney friends!
I love all the pictures.
Me too! She and her family were just lovely!How fun to have a chance meet with @jrmint427 I love it!
It was my first time dining there but definitely won't be the last!What a great Brunch at Topolino's. I would really like to go back here someday. The characters really are the best.
I knew our times overlapped thanks to our PTRs but I was so happy that she recognized me and came over to say hi.What a surprise to run into another Diser too.
I ordered the avocado toast with vegan sausage instead of the prosciutto. It was really good!I loved the quiche. There are so many good choices on the menu. What did you order?
Thank goodness for the Skyliner because it felt a little rushed heading to Riviera from Epcot.
We started with a Mimosa for Billie and Bellinis for Claire and I. They are the yummiest brunch cocktail!
For my main I went for the Gruyere quiche with smashed potatoes and salad.
We had so much fun with the characters! They came around a few times and we got lots of attention, even as a group of all adults.
I am so looking forward to your TR!
Thank goodness I can still do math... just don't ask me to do more than simple addition or multiplication anymore!Ooops yes. It was Claire's mom who decided to join in at the last minute so the reservation was originally for 4.
Unfortunately, no.You will love it! Any trip planned for this summer?
Haha! This is what happens when you read each others PTR. I had been scanning the restaurant for Jessica but she found me first!
That's awesome that you are no longer using a scooter. Glad your mobility is better these days.Yes! I'm starting to like the Skyliner more and more now that I don't use a scooter.
You and my DH can have those. I am not a big fan of tomato juice and adding Clamato to it makes it even worse!I might beg to differ....I'm partial to Bloody Mary's or as you Canadians prefer Bloody Caesars.
Hopping over to sub in!I just got home last night. I already posted the introduction while I was on the trip, so the first update may go up possibly as soon as today.
Too bad! It's been a few years, no? Hopefully you'll have a trip booked soon.Unfortunately, no.
Oh my gosh, Alicia, it is so good!! I think you would really love it. The food was great and the character interaction was so much fun!I've heard nothing but amazing things about the Topolino's breakfast. It's now up on the top of my list of restaurants to try! Sounds like it was a fun morning spending time with friends. And how cool to have an unexpected DISmeet!
HI and thanks for joining in! I highly recommend Topolinos for breakfast. It really was a fantastic meal.I am enjoying your report! I will get to Topolino’s someday. It always looks fantastic and the character’s outfits look so cute!
Those are my favorite Disney transportation options too, and I agree with your order!I have to say the Skyliner is one of my favourite means of transportation, only coming in second to the resort launches.
That cauliflower dish was one of my favorite items at F&G, I wish I could go back this year just for that dish! The sunflower brittle was really interesting with the other flavors and those grapes were the best.First up was Honey Beestro where I went for the roasted cauliflower dish (Honey-glazed Cauliflower with honey-roasted carrot purée, wild rice pilaf, spring vegetables, honey-blistered grapes, and sunflower brittle). This was fantastic!
Best way to go.I headed off to the Skyliner on our way to Epcot!
I whole heartedly agree!I have to say the Skyliner is one of my favourite means of transportation, only coming in second to the resort launches.
I'm not one for topiaries, but... gotta say, I like that one.We all loved the stunning dragon topiary in Japan.
Cute shot.We couldn't resist photos and got this awesome Donald magic shot I had never seen before.
Of course! And they all turned out great.Of course we had to stop for more pictures!
Soarin' was awesome and the CM was kind enough to accommodate us when we asked if we could wait for B1.
Very nice.Of course we had to go on LwtL next and again got pixie dusted when the CM let us through the LL line even though we were prepared to wait in standby.
I'd eat that. Sounds good!First up was Honey Beestro where I went for the roasted cauliflower dish (Honey-glazed Cauliflower with honey-roasted carrot purée, wild rice pilaf, spring vegetables, honey-blistered grapes, and sunflower brittle). This was fantastic!
We went to the homeland next....aka the Canadian pavilion for Northern Blooms.
I'm with you all the way up to the beer.I pretty much got a full meal here enjoying the scallops, the maple whisky cake and a beer.
Was that beer based as well, or... ?Collective Arts ( one of my favourite breweries) was featured here with their grapefruit lime sour.
We had fun checking out the topiaries and perusing the menus at the festival booths. We weren't ready to actually eat anything yet but wanted to know our options for later.
Of course we had to stop for more pictures!

Same here! The blistered grapes were so delicious! All the different elements of this dish worked so well together.That cauliflower dish was one of my favorite items at F&G, I wish I could go back this year just for that dish! The sunflower brittle was really interesting with the other flavors and those grapes were the best.
I whole heartedly agree!
It was awesome. There's one coming up later that I think you'll really enjoy too.I'm not one for topiaries, but... gotta say, I like that one.
Thank you!Of course! And they all turned out great.
It was excellent!I'd eat that. Sounds good!
That was the beer...a grapefruit lime sour. So you are a hard pass on rum and beer?Was that beer based as well, or... ?
I knew the menus pretty well too but I always like a little refresh in case I changed my mind.I had already checked them out weeks before and knew which booths I wanted to hit before I left California!
Thank you!Very cute one of the three of you!
It was so good! I was vegetarian for 9 years so still lean in favour of the veggie items. Didi you get the chicken and waffles?I'm glad you thought this was fantastic. It sounds like a nightmare to me! I got the other dish at that booth and it was fantastic!
I really enjoyed everything I tried. Thanks for joining in and commenting!Yum! It looks like you made some good food choices, I want them all!
That's a really fun magic shot! It sounds like an amazing day, I'm not sure how you could have made it any better. Ending with MK fireworks and dole whip really was just icing on the cake!And a magic shot with Remy himself
I have to say the Skyliner is one of my favourite means of transportation

HEA was awesome of course....and you know I cried several times.
Jungle Cruise just hits differently at night.
Cute photo! Love your sweatshirt. Danielle got me this one for Christmas.
Heh. You're really selling it. "No! Really! It's okay! I found a way to ride it without being sick!"We headed over to Remy next and I enjoyed the ride the most I ever have. I think I've finally found the mix of looking and not looking at the screen to maintain my equilibrium.
Free ratatouille samples?Now if they just did something about the queue! Most boring queue ever.
We had a lot of fun playing around on the Vespa outside....maybe that should be my next vehicle!
Look at you! You're a natural!
All of you are pointing at some vague point that's nowhere near Remy!And a magic shot with Remy himself...I never know what to do with my hands in these shots, lol.
Very nice lineup.I had been stacking LLs during the day so had Pirates, Haunted Mansion and Jungle Cruise lined up.
oooohhh... Excellent shot! You don't look terrified... just... perfect amount of trepidation? Really like this!
You know... I have never had WDW popcorn. I did have DL popcorn... didn't understand what all the fuss was about. I mean... it's only popcorn. What's the big de.... OMG... Crack in a bucket.Nothing better than Disney popcorn!
HEA was awesome of course....and you know I cried several times.
Oh dear.I adore the Hercules section. Cue the crying....
And who doesn't love Tink?
Jungle Cruise just hits differently at night.
Makes me wonder... if Disney gives you someone else's photos... and you post it... can those people sue DIsney?Next up was Pirates although I got a random family's ride photo instead of my own.
Is there something black on your Dole Whip?
Lovely shot of you.
I've always liked these Tink shots.
Whoa!Step count for day 1
It was awesome. There's one coming up later that I think you'll really enjoy too.
Ah.That was the beer...a grapefruit lime sour. So you are a hard pass on rum and beer?
