Information about Star Wars Land starting coming out early at D23 when Disney Parks and Resorts Chairman Bob Chapek unveiled a detailed model of the Disneyland version of the new land. Here’s what happened: Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge Though, as a Disney fan, I was interested in a lot of the goings on from the weekend, I was most interested in seeing what Disney was going to announce related to Disney World. We agree with everyone who has rated it as “Highly Recommended.”Īs readers of this site probably know, this past weekend was the 2017 D23 Expo out in California. I am not sure if we would do it every trip (the 2-3 hours and $80 per person (before discounts like Tables in Wonderland) is a good commitment, even for something this good), but it’ll definitely be part of the overall rotation. Overall, California Grill Brunch was what everyone said it would be: fantastic. There is also a dessert course, but Elyssa and I simply had that boxed up to bring home since we had already more than enough to eat. The meal also involved high quality sides (bacon and sausage), bottomless mimosas (I believe Elyssa’s count was 5), and unlimited refills on things like coffee (served in a press pot), orange juice, and soft drinks. Normally, it would include eggs, but we opted to have the eggs scrambled on the side):Įverything was fantastic, with our favorite possibly being the shakshuka (but it’s tough to pick). Vanilla Bean French Toast (Parker House bread, crème brûlée custard, and walnuts…Elyssa isn’t a fan of carmalized bananas that would normally come with it):Īnd Shakshuka (a spiced tomato dish, the includes lamb meatballs. Since you’re allowed to order more than one, Elyssa and I decided to split the Chicken and Waffles (friend chicken, with chicken sausage gravy, and a sweet potato waffle): The next part of the meal comes in the form of some of the best breakfast entrées that I have had on property (or, probably, anywhere). My initial buffet plate looked like this: (See Josh’s post for the pictures of the items in the buffet line). The meal is actually a hybrid of buffet and table service, as there is a plentiful selection of high quality (artisanal?) meats and cheeses, sushi, salads, and pastries available at your leisure. Well, after spending about 2.5 hours at the top of the Contemporary this morning, we can definitively say: We are big fans of California Grill brunch. We’re not very adventurous eaters, we do really like our Kona breakfasts, and we were unsure if we would feel like we got a decent value out of things. Despite all this, Elyssa and I had been waffling (breakfast food joke!) about whether or not the meal is “for us”. Josh over at easyWDW has given it a thumbs up, friends of the site Lisa and Howie have been raving about it on Twitter, and Modern Men of Mouse host Russ spoke about it favorably on the podcast. The hot “must do’ item of recent weeks (months?) that everyone is talking about is brunch at the California Grill. I also did something similar for some other Disney news sites with no results.)Īnyway, Jiko was amazing (as always) and the “new” bread might give you another reason to give it a shot if you haven’t been in awhile. (I did a “site: ” to see if Josh had written about it and I couldn’t find anything. It was a big hit for us (especially Elyssa, who doesn’t like sweet potato.) I was completely surprised to be served the new bread since I do not remember reading about the bread change at any of the normal spots for this kind of news, despite our waitress saying it had been out for 4-5 months. Now, they have an almost fluffy focaccia-like bread that they serve with olive oil infused with parsley and chives. Previously, as you might remember, Jiko had sweet potato rolls. I intend to write-up (or at least show some pictures) of our entire meal, but what I really want to share is: JIKO HAS “NEW” BREAD: After a rather lengthy Twitter discussion with some friends of the site about how much Elyssa and I like Tiffins and Jiko, Elyssa and I…well…decided to go to Jiko for dinner on Sunday night.
