Our Favorite Food This Week: Honey Chicken
Location: Yak and Yeti Counter Service- Animal Kingdom
Price: $9.99
Welcome to this week’s Favorite Food Friday where we share our favorite foods with our friends. This week we head to the Animal Kingdom and try the Honey Chicken at the Yak and Yeti Counter Service. The meal comes in a container and includes Tempura Chicken, Carrots, Broccoli, Honey Sauce, and White Rice. Overall the food was great with a nice honey taste, but it was very hard to mix it up due to the size of the container and the quantity of food. The rice is on the bottom so trying to stir it up was a challenge without some chicken ending up on the table.
Have you tried Yak and Yeti counter service? What did you think?

Disney Travel Tip
Many of us love to travel with our extended family to Disney or we let our families know that we are planning a Disney trip and they just invite themselves, who isn’t looking for any reason to travel to Disney. As your travel party grows you may find it hard to book your favorite restaurants. Some restaurants are configured in such as way that there are few places for large parties, which make these reservations hard to come by. One thing to consider when you aren’t able to get in is to split the group. Yes I know it sounds drastic, but if you split the group and are able to get times that are close to one another you can request tables next to each other when you check in at the restaurant. You may have to wait an extra minute or two to get in as they get tables next to each other, but this saves you from missing your favorite restaurant.
This week we have linked up on the Travel Tip Thursday Blog Hop with our friends at Love Our Disney. Be sure to hop through and check out the other great tips.

Ever walk by the building below in Tomorrowland and wonder, hmm that’s an odd building wonder what it was used for.
For those of you that visited the Magic Kingdom before the passport style ticket was born you will definitely remember this building. I remember standing in this line with my parents many times. Scattered around the Magic Kingdom were ticket booths, where you purchased your tickets to experience an attraction. The ticket booth above is the last one standing at the Magic Kingdom today, you will find it on your way to Space Mountain in Tomorrowland in its current use as a Disney Vacation Club information area. The most recent loss was the one located near Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, after its use as a ticket booth it changed over to a camera shop and souvenirs before Pooh’s tree was moved across the path from the play area to it’s current home in front of the Winnie the Pooh attraction.
Passport style tickets replaced the A to E tickets in June of 1981. You will still people use the phrase E ticket to refer to the newest, most advanced, and/or most popular rides and attractions. While the A ticket would only get you on the Carrousel and the Main St Vehicles. Other attractions were in between with B, C, and D tickets.
Do you remember purchasing tickets at these ticket booths?

Pinto Colvig worked for many studios including Warner Brothers, MGM, and Disney Studios where he directed a few of our favorite cartoons. But Pinto was best known for his voice. Which characters did Pinto Colvig provide a voice for?
A. Pluto
B. Goofy
C. Grumpy
D. Sleepy
E. All of the above
The answer is E – All of the above, Pinto was the original voice of Goofy and also the original Bozo the Clown. During his career he was the second voice for Oswald the Lucky Rabbit and the Practical Pig in Disney’s Three Little Pigs short. His voice can also be heard in Snow White and Seven Dwarfs as both Grumpy and Sleepy.
I always love to hear all the characters a single person voiced in these classic cartoons. What is your favorite classic voice?

Our Hidden Mickey this week comes from our room at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort. One of our favorite spots to find Hidden Mickeys are in the resort pictures. This picture was found in our Grand Floridian Resort room close to the window/patio doors.
Do you see him? Yeah this one is tough to spot and we didn’t get a very good direct picture, but I wanted to give you the placement so you can look next time you are staying there. On the globe towards the bottom of the picture…..
Hi Mickey!! There you are.
We love Hidden Mickey‘s. Where else have you spotted Mickey on a Resort Picture?
