ROSE & CROWN PUB

The Rose & Crown is located in the United Kingdom of World Showcase at Epcot. There is a stand outside selling beer and the front façade of the building puts you right on the UK streets. One of the biggest draws for this restaurant is the patio seating.

This is a traditional English Pub! Serving…fish-and-chips, shepherd’s pie (ground lamb with onions, carrots, and peas, topped with mashed potatoes and cheddar cheese), and the ever-popular bangers and mash (sausage over mashed potatoes) ect. I started with the Potato-and-leek soup and was disappointed! I like soup to have some consistency but this tasted like it was thrown in a blender & I could drink it! UGHHH! For my meal I had the Bangers and Mash and it was FANTASTIC! I would return for this meal! It also tasted very authentic!

This would be a great spot to have a late dinner, linger, and watch Illuminations. If you want a laid back atmosphere to have a tall beer this is the place!

Celebrate A Dream Come True Parade

Posted in DISNEY'S MAGIC KINGDOM with tags Celebrate, Dream, parade on December 5, 2011 by disneychronicles

Mickey Mouse and Minnie lead off on a festive float with decorations of oversize fireworks and noisemakers. Dozens of performers in bright costumes wave flags and streamers and kick up their heels along the route; the parade stops at three locations for high-energy dance numbers. (All the female performers had their hair cut in the same very short styles…interesting, yes I notice these things) LOL

Six other floats follow with Pinocchio, Snow White, Cinderella, Belle, Beast, Ariel, Prince Ali, Mary Poppins, Alice (of Wonderland), and others. The villains float scares up laughs with Cruella de Vil, Maleficent, The Wicked Queen, and Jafar. The Holiday finale features Beauty and the Beast.

Parade Tip….

Parade viewing in the Frontierland area is not as busy as on Main Street U.S.A. or in front of Cinderella Castle. If the parade begins in Frontierland, sit near the beginning, so you can be the first to leave. You can get there early and get great seats, but since you are leaving first, you will be sure to find a shorter wait at an attraction or food and beverage location since everyone else will still be watching the parade. Make sure you are seated on the side of the street you want to be on once the parade is over.
