    I am going to Disney in September for the Food and Wine Festival and Pandora is high on my list. I haven’t ever eaten at Tiffens, but now, I am intrigued by the Pandora restaurant. I didn’t know that was there. I may have to do that.

    I like how you listed the price point of each eating resturant. My personal favourite from your description has to be Yak and Yeti as I do like Asian food x

    This is awesome! When you have kids, you have to figure out how to go somewhere where the kids will be excited to eat and you can have an adult meal too.
