today is a very special day i'm going to show you guys one of my favorite food items at disney and
i've never showed it on the vlog before we're at the grand floridian i have not been here
since the nba was like bubbled here so this can be interesting to see how different it is
now the grand floridian is one of my favorite resorts on disney property now last time i was
here just a ghost town it's a little more hustle and bustle now now mrs potts yes
you look content with not having to work because the tea room is still closed who knows when
this will reopen now these are just like standard resort crowds right now it's not slow it's just
like what it used to be now normally the Grand Floridian in a lot of resorts have all these
easter eggs that are made out of chocolate everywhere in the lobby i'm only seeing
one i believe it's a humpty dumpty set on a wall with alice in wonderland
that is a creepy cheshire cat up there oh my god this looks like something out
of the live-action cats movie on the side you can see the white wrap now my favorite things
about the grand floridian is like the live music that they normally have now they fired all of the
grand floridian orchestra they used to perform here but they did bring like a couple people to
play the piano but they only played the piano from thursday till sunday after like 4 p.m i believe i
don't even know if i consider this egg it's a just a chocolate sculpture fairy godmother right there
cinderella does look like she's seen better days though that is crazy the amount of detail that
they put into this chocolate sculpture i did just notice this there's a little hit of mickey right
there in the pumpkins looks like they've expanded the grand floridian cafe seating into 1900 park so
this is where my favorite appetizer is at the enchanted rose now the enchanted rose is kind
of based on beauty and the beast now over here by the fireplace you can see the enchanted rose
right there and then the mirror now they do have this beautiful chandelier in here i just
think it looks like a bunch of churros hanging from the ceiling and now we're sitting out here
where the orchestra used to play again like every single disney restaurant qr code scan it
check the menu out so first off we're going to start off with the crab macaroni and cheese it's
going to be lump crab no ketty sardi which is a type of pasta mornay sauce and citrus bread crumbs
oh that's real cheesy well this is hella cheesy oh my god it's just like oozy tentacles of cheese
it's a very seafoody taste to the mac and cheese now the lobster mac and cheese on property
my favorite is that nomad lounge and it has a subtle hint of like seafood this if you're not
a fan of like seafood you're not gonna like this it just tastes like a really cheesy cheesy crab
cake i used to work at citrocross right next door so these truffle fries are from citrochris these
are the best truffle fries i've ever had in my entire life instantly i'm just gonna tell you
they're a 10 out of 10 before i even bite in and then i also got my personal favorite thing the
truffle fries a shaved black truffles on top with a 18-month aged parmesan and i believe
there's also truffle oil on them okay here we go moment of truth now these fries are always like
cooked to perfection they're nice and crispy and golden and it comes with the truffle aioli which
oh my god it's like the best truffle aioli you will ever have in your entire life the shaved
black truffles are so good it's one of my favorite dishes to eat not just in disney but like in my
life i love this dish so much and then we also got the mini smoked brisket slider blue cheese
and onion marmalade on split top buns you get a good kick of that caramelized onion blue cheese
isn't too powerful but the brisket is nice and tender it comes on like the toasted raw and great
food as always shout out to our server robert he was amazing i'm gonna do the crab mac and cheese
it's a little too fishy even though you know how i love my crab i think i'd give the mac and cheese a
6.5 truffle fries are 10 out of 10 all day long 11 out of 10 if i could give it and i think the
brisket sliders i think i would give an eight out of ten this is brand new uh basin has finally
reopened last time this year is completely shut off and dark and then here is bibbidi bobbidi
boutique it's still closed which is sad sorry we are closed over here is citrica's and victorian
alberts now i used to work at central coast and um they were in the middle of a refurbishment and i
don't know if they finished the refurbishment but it's they've just blocked it all off with
planters they will say if you're at the grand floridian and you need a nice bathroom up the
bathrooms here really nice now this is like night and day compared to the last time i was here last
time this year was just walled off with this giant blue wall because the nba was all in here now we
have placed our mobile order for guest barrilla's grill and a couple minutes later our order is
ready okay we have uh got our mobile order if you've never been to gas burlap island grill
it's one of the best quick services on property it's every holiday every resort restaurant has
like specialty things for the holidays this is all for easter is it a pumpkin
oh it's a carrot that's what it is i thought it was a pumpkin um so guys for the desserts
first thing i got the the carrot blondie pop it's gonna be a brown sugar butter cake bar on a
lollipop stick decorated like a carrot i will say this looks kind of interesting coming out of this
plastic wrap like this we're just gonna leave it like that
it's got the chocolate covering tastes like the chocolate covering that they use on the disney
rice krispie treats is all right i do enjoy like the brownie butter on the inside we'll do a 6.5
on this one and then i also got the easter egg hunt cupcake carrot cake cupcake with marshmallow
filling topped with buttercream jelly beans and a chocolate bunny they actually put a hole on
its butt like they wanted to go real realistic and they put a hole in the butt here's johnny
i feel kind of wrong looking at this my friend kitra does like butt checks let me know what you
think about that with it being more realistic with them adding the hole there i have so many
questions behind the culinary team that made this now we have a theory because there's jelly
beans that it was just him pooping out the jelly beans let's do the honors of cutting it in half
hmm honestly there's not too much marshmallow fluff in there i really thought there's gonna
be a lot in there all right let's see how the carrot cake is first this is the best
carrot cave i've ever had in my entire life no but it's soft and it's moist
okay all right now let's try the frosting with the marshmallow in there quite disappointed with
this the marshmallow fluff doesn't really add much flavor to it the buttercream frosting is
just kind of your standard buttercream frosting let's see how the booty tastes
cold milk chocolate when you eat the frosting on the cake with the jelly bean each jelly bean
has a different flavor as you know so it makes each bite kind of very weird and you don't know
what you're gonna get i don't like this one um i think the cake is all right there's definitely
it's missing the filling there's like one little dollop in there frosting's kind of basic and the
jelly beans in there it's more about the look and getting it for the little booty
i think we'll do a 5.5 out of 10 for this one so i'm going to say uh pass on those easter little
snacks i'm sure there's better different easter special dessert options throughout disney property
i will just say it's just like so peaceful with like the music and the crowds it's not like eerie
anymore all right we're gonna pop over to the polynesian real quick to see what's going on
now currently they're like remodeling the polynesian resort to be like moana themed
for a lot of the resort rooms so it's kind of just kind of like epcot a giant construction wall
just gaping holes in the ground i just think it's interesting that they don't have any like part of
my pixie dust signs up it's just we're in an active construction zone right now okay they
did add a wall for pardon our pixie dust holy crap they're really going to town over at the
polynesian right now like honestly it needs it it's an old old resort to the great ceremonial
house please pardon our appearance excavators everywhere no trespassing so they don't want you
going there don't go there go to the left honestly what's the point of the walls at this point when
you can see all of that there's tons of boxes over there who knows what they're bringing in
to renovate the rooms right now there's the monorail trader sands is still closed but they're
offering hang loose with the new citrus surfer now available to tambu lounge so i guess upstairs
you can purchase the new limited edition trader sam's mug so you still can't enter out of the
lobby this is what the lobby is going to look like eventually this summer after all the construction
is finished here's a look at the new monorail station for the polynesian um they said they're
opening this summer isn't the summer in like two months i don't see this being ready this summer
look at that there's no way there's no way this is ready by summer disney no look at the parking
lot what the hell is this now when things look like pretty much completely done yeah maybe it'll
open like two months after that but this looks like they've just begun the construction this is
ridiculous guys let me know down in the comments do you think the new monorail station at the
polynesian will be opening this summer i don't think so now as disney announced that it will be
opening in late july 2021 the refurb is supposed to be finished at the polynesian i don't think so
i think they'll probably have one or two buildings completed with the new moana themed rooms
maybe the monorail platform i don't know we all know how long that tron construction has been
taken disney moves at a snail's pace when it comes to construction unlike universal
universal finishes their stuff like that disney did release the photos of the rooms that they're
working on and they're beautiful i really think the imagineers did a great job so they're moana
themed and they're like enough moana but not too much in your face moana i love the hardwood floors
and the wall looks like maui's tattoo and it kind of shows the journey of the movie now
if you even look there's a little hey hey hiding in the corner waiting to get his little wake-up
call drinking out of the keurig then they have like a moana print and the bathroom
looks gorgeous and i love the backlight on that mirror now moana's personally one of my favorite
disney movies so i'm really pumped to stay at the new retheme polynesian resort rooms one day but
when you guys are watching this easter's on sunday so if you celebrate easter happy easter everyone
now i want to thank ensign howe thank you so much for finding this video and donating on patreon so
guys on that note i love you all please stay safe happy easter and i will see you all on monday bye
now i always enjoy looking at these antique cars that they have here
outside the lobby they got a dodge ram right there also
