To start , we shared the Wedge Salad and Plaza Loaded Fries . The salad is my preferred starter . A wedge salad is a fairly common dish , but when the lettuce is nice and cold and crisp , the creamy dressing , the tang of blue cheese , plus the acidity of juicy tomatoes come together into a refreshing and flavorful salad . Although the menu description doesn ’ t explicitly state it , there is a blue cheese crumble , as is pretty customary on a wedge salad . I know blue cheese is an acquired taste , but this is a very mild version , and I wouldn ’ t let it discourage you from ordering the dish even if you ’ re not sure how you feel about blue cheese .
The plant-based “ ranch ” dressing is a nice adjustment to help make this menu item more versatile . If they didn ’ t specify in the menu description , you ’ d never know this ranch dressing is different from what you are used to . There is a conscious effort happening throughout WDW right now to improve and increase their plant-based , allergyfriendly , vegetarian , and vegan options , which I think is commendable . Anything that makes the menu more accessible and more
CHARACTER MAGIC :
PETER PAN
BY TRISHA DAAB
Where to meet Peter Pan : Peter is typically at the Magic Kingdom in Fantasyland . Near the line for Peter Pan ’ s Flight , he has a special space tucked along a building . Just look for the wall with the painting of Neverland .
When meeting Peter : Be prepared to meet Wendy , too ! She sometimes joins Peter , and they have a lot of fun together . Just search “ Wendy ” in the My Disney Experience app to see if she is with Peter during your visit .
Not sure what to say ? Ask Peter to point out his favorite place on the painting of Neverland or ask about his latest adventure .
Make sure to bring : Pixie dust ! Pop by Sir Mickey ’ s or the entrance to the Bippity Boppity Boutique . The fairy godmothers have a special wand they can use to sprinkle pixie dust onto your hair .
Beyond the autograph book : A sword , like the one Peter has in the movie , makes a great autographed souvenir that you can play with later . If you ’ ve been to Adventureland and played A Pirate ’ s Adventure , you can ask Peter to autograph the map . He loves adventure and has some experience with pirates !
Fun fact : Peter Pan was one of Walt Disney ’ s favorite stories .
