Figment's Adventure with Pixar Fest, continued...
Jolly Holiday Bakery Cafe
An old favorite of Figment's! He tried a range of the seasonal treats plus several of the regular items.
Jolly Holiday Combo (Toasted Cheese and Tomato Basil Soup) - Melted White Cheddar and Cheddar Cheese on Toasted Sourdough Bread with a cup of tomato basil soup. Still Figment's favorite late night (or anytime) snack/meal.
Silenzio Bruno!" Sandwich - Chopped Ham, Salami, Pepperoni, Provolone, Lettuce, Tomato, Pickled Onion and Pepperoncini with Italian Dressing, served in an Italian Roll with House-made Chips. This sandwich had a slight bite, but good flavor.
Sea Monster Friends Parfait - Layers of Graham Cracker Crumbs, Mascarpone Cheesecake, Berry Blue Gelatin, and Blue Chantilly topped with a Luca Chocolate Decoration. Figment's family was split on this dessert. It was pretty cheesecake-y, which could be a positive or a negative depending on the family member. The berry gelatin was a bit weird (texture wise with the cheesecake). Overall, it was an interesting dessert, but not something Figment would order again.
Cherry-Vanilla Macaron - Cherry Buttercream and Vanilla Bean Crème sandwiched between White Macaron Shells, decorated with Gold Edible Glitter and Chocolate Flakes. This was a rare item that bordered on to sweet for Figment's family. It had some cherry flavor, but mostly it just tasted like sugar.
Strawberry Stuffed Croissant - Strawberries, Pastry Cream, Strawberry Coulis and Powdered Sugar. This was really good. It had sliced strawberries and pastry cream. It makes a great late night snack or a breakfast!
S'Mores Tart - Graham Cracker Shell filled with Dulce de Leche, Chocolate Sponge, and Chocolate Ganache, topped with a Toasted Marshmallow. So rich, but very yummy! It had a tart shell filled with a thick chocolate cream, topped with a marshmallow square.
Banoffee Pie - Graham Cracker Shell filled with Dulce de Leche, Banana Diplomat Cream and fresh Bananas, topped with Vanilla Bean Chantilly and Toffee Bits. It had lots of bannanas on top of a cream layer. It was a little like eating a banana pie. Figment's family members that like bananas really liked this one.
Lemon Meringue Eclair - Filled with Lemon Chiffon, topped with a Ribbon of Toasted Meringue and a White Daisy Chocolate Decoration. Figment likes eclairs and Figment likes lemon desserts, so this was a great combo. The lemon filling was nice and tart with just a hint of sweetness.
Egg Bacon Croissant - flaky Croissant filled with Egg, Bacon, Cheese, and Hollandaise Sauce. Figment likes this breakfast croissant (it goes especially well with the Chimney Sweep Cold Brew!).
Refreshment Port
Located next to Jolly Holiday, Figment's family will often get things from both location after fireworks for a late night snack. It's a good way to let the fireworks crowds thin out and then refuel before walking back to the hotel.
BBQ Potato Dog - Smoked Sausage, BBQ Pulled Pork, Coleslaw, Fried Onions and Green Onions, served in a Baked Potato. This was essentially a baked potato with a whole sausage and pulled pork on top. It was messy, but pretty good. It cannot be eaten like a hot dog
-))...it needs a fork and knife. It was also very filling.
