We have received a few more updates from Ellen (podsnel) from her August trip to Disneyland.
The first one is from the Grand Californian's...
Whitewater Snacks
Ellen said, "Well, here I am again- between 2 TRs and learning to become a TA not to mention being a mom of 3, I have fallen behind as usual- so sorry Barb! Here are my pics from GCV poolside nachos from Whitewater Snacks which we shared- we got steak and chicken, they were very good."
"Then dinner for Pods and me was at the Disneyland Hotel's...
Trader Sam's Enchanted Tiki Bar
"We got apps for dinner and drinks. We were still pretty full from those nachos, to be honest! We shared the Pu Pu Platter...
"Tamarind-glazed Island Pork 'Wings', Sweet and Spicy Asian Wings, Panko-crusted Chinese Long Beans, Green Papaya Slaw, and Sriracha Aioli. $15.99"
"It was pretty good."
"The atmosphere is the BEST here - so unique, there is always some special effect going on because of some drink that was ordered. Pods and I tried several drinks - we did NOT want the souvenir glass, so our drinks were a little more reasonable priced, but make no mistake- these were, hands down, the absolute WORST tropical cocktails either of us have ever tried. They all tasted like paint thinner!! BLECH!!!"
"I had the Shrunken Zombie Head - Every time business shrinks for our favorite head salesman he celebrates with one of these supernatural potions."
"This had Reserve and Aged Rums, Tropical Juices, Falernum, and Cinnamon."
"Pods tried the Shipwreck on the Rocks - Have too many of these and you'll be setting a course for Davy Jones' Locker!"
"This was Bourbon with Freshly Muddled Lemon and Mint with Organic Agave Nectar."
Here is Pods taking his first sip of his Shipwreck drink...
And here is Pods after taking his first sip of his Shipwreck drink...
"Many others ordered the drinks that cause the volcano to erupt and the ship to sink. I would absolutely go back, but I would just get a Longboard next time and let someone else pay for the "show". Really a fun, unique bar, though."
"On our way back to GCV, we decided to stop at...
Ralph Brennan's Jazz Kitchen
...and had a seat at their bar."
"I tried a Hurricane, their signature drink...
"It was a little sweet for me, but the music was fantastic, and the bartenders???
They were EXCELLENT!!!"
