WORDLESS WEDNESDAY!

FOODIE FRIDAY! Things I've Never Tried

Hey gang!  Here we are back again for another edition of Things I've Never Tried at Walt Disney World.  Pertaining to food of course, we visit another location in The Contemporary Resort.  The WAVE is that spot.

I have never dined at The Wave, so I thought we would talk about that today.  I'm not sure why I have never been to this dining location, and that may have to change.  Actually, with the trip I just planned for August, I have pop over there from my day at Magic Kingdom and have dinner.

 I love the entry way into this location.

The interior is "wavy" and whimsical.


The food looks amazing!




The My Disney Experience site states the following:

A Dash of Something More

Dine on new American cuisine inspired by a passion for locally and regionally sourced ingredients.

Surround yourself in casual elegance at this feel-good eatery located in Disney's Contemporary Resort. Savor fresh, healthful dishes with an international flair as well as new world wines and tasty craft beers.

Start your day with a classic American breakfast such as eggs Benedict or dive into our signature sweet potato pancakes served with pecan-honey butter and a side of sausage or bacon. Not sure? Try an assortment of sun-ripened fresh fruit!

Guests can enjoy à la carte morning meals or an all-you-care-to-enjoy breakfast buffet from 7:30 AM to 11:00 AM—perfect fare for fueling up before jetting off to the parks!

At lunch, opt for robust sandwiches, our signature burgers or an assortment of fresh salads.

Dinner offers such distinctive dishes as grilled pork tenderloin and seared potato gnocchi. Cap off your meal with crème brûlée and a divine dessert selection that defines pièce de résistance.

Reservations are recommended and can be made up to 180 days prior to your visit. Please note that menu items are subject to change without notice.

Go with the Flow

Guests 21 years of age and up can enjoy New World wines, trendy cocktails and organic beers in the sophisticated lounge.

We use reasonable efforts in our sourcing, preparation and handling procedures to avoid the introduction of the named allergens into allergy-friendly menu choices. While we take steps to prevent cross-contact, we do not have separate allergy-friendly kitchens and are unable to guarantee that a menu item is completely free of allergens. Allergy-friendly offerings are reliant on supplier ingredient labels. We cannot guarantee the accuracy of the contents of each food item. Allergen advisory statements (e.g.,”may contain") are not regulated and therefore not taken into consideration when developing allergy-friendly meals.
