FOODIE FRIDAY! Oga's Obsession at Oga's Cantina
A bit of fun (actually lots) was had during my time at Oga's Cantina in Galaxy's Edge in Hollywood Studios at Walt Disney World this past August.
I was there for my Annual Passholder preview of Galaxy's Edge (which is amazing).
I was able to ride on the Smuggler's Run attraction which is on board the Millennium Falcon, and I also got a time slot to have a look and experience Oga's Cantina.
The entire experience was amazing of course. Oga's was really full of atmosphere and made you think you were in a pub in a galaxy far, far away.
I had a cocktail (which we will talk about in 2 weeks) and the non-alcoholic treat Oga's Obsession.
Oga's Obsession is a jello'ish, but smoother than jello fruity treat that is served in a petri dish type vessel.
This is what the definition from Disney Dining states:

FOODIE FRIDAY! A Special Treat at Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party!
One thing I didn't have to wait in line FOREVER for at Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party the night I went (It was TOTALLY oversold by WDW.) was this special cake treat only available on the party nights. There was a line, but I only waited a few minutes. CM's were running the cart in Liberty Square where this was available very efficiently.
This was really delicious, and not heavy at all.

Constance’s For Better or For Worse Wedding Cake – $7.50
This cake was so cute I almost didn't want to destroy it by sticking my fork in it! But, for all of you, I felt I must buy it and give you mi thoughts.
The cake was very moist, and had a raspberry flavored filling, and was very tasty! Is $7.50 too much for this? Maybe. I guess you and your budget would have to be the judge. I think $6.50 would be a more reasonable price, but since you can't get this at any other time besides at the party I guess they feel they can charge that much and no one is going to complain.
Join me again next week for another FOODIE FRIDAY!

FOODIE FRIDAY! My Dinner at Be Our Guest

Since the last time I had dinner at Be Our Guest back in 2013, many things have changed. Mainly, the changes pertain to the menu. There is now a pre-fix menu at dinner service for a specific price, which at time of publishing was $60.00 per person for adult The choices on the new menu are in my opinion, much better than they used to be.
When I was there for dinner back in 2013, you met with Beast after your meal. Now you meet with him before you go in. It was much better doing it before the way the line flows. When it was after, the line was in the dining room, and that was not good. This is a great improvement.
Passholders can get a discount on food, if you have Tables In Wonderland you can use your discount of your food and alcohol as well. I just got my card as I could see from my last trip that if I am going to have at least one cocktail, wine or beer a day, it will save me money over the duration of my trips.

I was honored to dine that evening with my friend Darlene. We had a wonderful time and great dinner together.
The picture below of the dining room from our table.....is really ironic as we sat at the very same table I sat at the first time I was there. I don't forget things like that!
I started out with a glass of Rose' (Hey, since I was at Beasts Castle, what else would I choose?) It was delicious......
Enchantée Rosé (Enchanted) Gérard Bertrand Syrah/Grenache Rosé, Languedoc
This enchanted Rosé from the Languedoc region in the South of France is a blend of Syrah and Grenache. This wine is succulently fruity on the palate with rich notes of ripe cherry, muddled strawberry, and a crisp finish
Bottle
$49.00
Glass
$11.00
I chose the Field Greens Salad. It was refreshing and also delicious.....
Mixed Field Greens
Drunken Goat Cheese, Hazelnut Brittle, and Asparagus with a Stone Fruit Vinaigrette.
Both Darlene and I chose the Sea Scallops for our entree.
Pan-seared Sea Scallops
Spring Pea Risotto, Seasonal Vegetables, Fried Artichoke Hearts, and Micro Basil
Once again.....
it was delicious......(do you see a pattern forming here?)
The dessert is the same for everyone. It's a trio of, yes........deliciousness!! But the most delicious on the plate, was......but of course.....the grey stuff........YES! It's delicious!
Dessert Trio
Almond Macaron
with Lemon Jam and Raspberries
White Chocolate "Chip" Cup
with Grey Stuff and Crisp Pearls
Dark Chocolate Truffle
filled with Dark Chocolate Grand Marnier Ganache
I love the plate, and the edible paper below the treats was fairly tasteless, but still fun to eat!!
You can find the full dinner menu posted below. If you have been thinking about dining at Be Our Guest for any meal, my favorite is actually breakfast. I have always been pleased with my lunch choices as well. Dinner is just something special though, as it's the only time you can have a meet and greet with Beast. It is a very fun interaction.
