Karamell Kuche is a relatively new addition to Epcot's Germany Pavilion: Let me preface this by saying I'm not a fan of caramel, not in the least, but I do LOVE dark chocolate and I love pineapple, so I can forgive the drizzle of caramel that covers this thing: And there is nothing small about it! It's also very cold, so you might want to prep your teeth for it. But the pineapple is fresh and the chocolate is not like typical German chocolate with that weird "bite" to it (maybe because it's dark instead of milk). This might have been the shortest review yet!!

Since I'm on a roll, let's continue on with a resort restaurant, shall we? Like I mentioned in my Polynesian Resort review, we'd eaten at Kona long before staying there. I'm not really sure how it came about, probably something as simple as we needed a sit-down restaurant that was close enough to the Magic Kingdom as to make it convenient to eat at for a Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party night. Kona is located in the Main Ceremonial House at The Polynesian Resort, on the second floor. It's a rather small dining area and can get quite loud at times. It has an open kitchen: and some seating tends to be extremely close together: We managed to get a separate table in 2007, but ended up in the, what I like to call, community seating in 2010: Of course, because it is the Poly and it's Hawaiian based, there does tend to be a bit of Lilo and Stitch hanging around, especially during Halloween time (but I don't mind, seeing as how Stitch is se...

Woopsie! Must have forgotten last week's podge...oh well, on with this one! 1. "Summer is like childhood. It's full of warm memories and gone too soon."~Kellie Elmore Agree or disagree? Share something you loved about the summers of your childhood. Disagree. I was a miserable child. Aspergers and the 70's/80's didn't mix well (although I didn't know that's what it was then). The only thing I miss about my childhood is spending hours swimming in the backyard. I haven't been in a pool in 25 years or more and I'm a water baby by nature. 2. Are you a fan of auto racing-NASCAR, Indy, Stock, Grand Prix, etc? Ever been to a race in person? Any desire to do this? Do you know a lot about cars? Do you notice particular makes and models when you're out and about? No, No, No, No, and No! Living in the South, all anyone talks about is cars and Nascar (and hunting). I just don't get it. I love my Nissan Rogue, but it's only p...

Yes, I know that this, in essence, is a meal, but it's not set up that way and is more of an experience that just a meal, so I'm putting it in the Special Edition section. It takes reservations like a normal restaurant, but that's where the normality ends! Located inside Disney's Grand Floridian Resort and Spa (or Disney's Indian Burial Ground resort, as I like to call it due to it's freaky Indian Burial Ground vibe), the Garden View Tea Room is on the main lobby floor. There are plenty of things to see in the GF's lobby, including a band: and don't forget to look down: They also have various shops, from the fancy-smancy clothing store, to their very own Basin which has scents that are specific to the Grand Floridian. Plus, at Christmastime, it's one of the best on property (here's a teaser, I'll do a Christmas review at another time): If you arrive via monorail, you will either have to take the stairs: or th...
