 Hey friends today. I am hanging out at Disney's Fort Wilderness resort and trails and is reopening today I am so excited. This is one of my all-time favorite places to get some barbecue I'm in love with the brisket here and we decided to come out and see what's new and how the whole dining experience has Changed and also maybe visit tri-circle D ranch in Crockett's Tavern and have a Fort Wilderness kind of day any who's Let's go do this If you plan on coming out and dining at trails end or if you just want to visit Fort Wilderness You need to park at the main parking lot And then you have to either take a bus a golf cart horseback or boat from the Magic Kingdom over to the restaurant or Pioneer Hall the main settlement area. They have no parking available even if you have a reservation Look at all the awesome golf carts here So people have to park their golf carts here to actually get a bus to go to the park Look at this stormtrooper one. That is amazing Wow, I really love it when they go all in and they decorate the holidays here is Absolutely amazing seeing all the campsites decorated for Halloween and Christmas. I love it. Oh, and we got some horsies coming They do horseback riding and they have special horse trails that they can go on Look at that. Isn't it so fun? I Love it so much. Look at all the horsies I would love to do this one day And since I don't know anyone that has a golf cart right now and I'm not doing the horseback riding Looks like I'm gonna be taking the good old walk Disney World bus transportation to trails end Pioneer Hall, that's the one for me I'll require you to wear a mask whenever you do the bus transportation. So luckily I had one of these in the car knowing that I needed to take a bus And just like that we are here at the Pioneer Hall now And there's so much to take in like before I said we were gonna maybe check out Crockets Tavern and definitely I'm gonna see the Tri-Circle D Ranch since we came a little bit early that closes at three o'clock So I think we're gonna go there first Right here is the Pioneer Hall and this is where the Hooptie do musical review used to be and then trails end and then Crockets Tavern so we're gonna actually go this way back to where we got dropped off by the bus stop to go to the Tri-Circle D Ranch to see some horses The Tri-Circle D Ranch is home to some of the most magical horses on the planet Including the headless horsemen's horse, which I absolutely love and we're getting close to Halloween So maybe we'll get to see them Here it is and this is the newest facility. They actually reopened this during the pandemic and it's my first time coming out here They have some things in here that are absolutely priceless and I can't wait to show you One of the coolest things is this carriage here that they have and this was at opening day disney land Walt actually rode this himself and here it is in Walt Disney World Some say it is the most valuable thing on Walt Disney World property and take a look at this From 1907 he gets a do a little push Isn't that amazing Honestly, I would do anything to ride it What good is the carriage though without a horse look at this? We got rookie behind us. Hi rookie. Are you baby? Hello? I don't know why but every time I see other cute animals. I just think of my dog Rookie looks just like Gracie and then Skylar you also look like Gracie Everyone looks like Gracie. You're all adorable. Hi Skylar Not all of the ranch is open right now because they do have quiet time so I think most of the horses that were actually for the Headless horsemen are in the back, but I think there may be one that they use in case of emergencies Look at Gracie. They're getting excited because food. It's dinner time, isn't it? I see them coming down here. They're about to feed all the different horses. Gracie's getting excited Gracie's got something to say there you go Gracie now. It's time to get some food Yeah, I Really love it here. I can actually come and hang out with the horses all day Most of the horses that are up front are just really good with crowds and some of the ones that kind of like to keep to themselves Are back there, but you can also do pony rides, and I think that's fun. I think they're for the little ones though Pony rides are eight dollars for one lap and then twelve dollars for two laps and look at all the ponies in there Isn't that cute? Look, we just caught sighting. There's one of the Headless horsemen horses right there making its way back. Oh How cool is that? I love hearing the sound of horses walking Now I think we'll head back over to Pioneer Hall Maybe take a pit stop at Crocker's Tavern get ourselves some moonshine Sit in a rocking chair and then go to our dinner reservation at trails then and I'm excited because I am hungry. I Love how you can come here get dinner and also see horses and just experience all of this beautiful resort It really is something else. So a lot of people say it's hard to get to but it's definitely worth planning out a whole day Just to come and enjoy Fort Wilderness. I Have not heard anything about the Hooptidoo musical review But I really hope that comes back because that was one of the best dining experiences you can have here All you can eat food with a show all you can drink I remember coming here with my friend Gracie and we had so much fun the whole family It was such a great time and I want to do it again. So please come back Hooptidoo musical review. I miss you Speaking of the Hooptidoo musical review This is where you would actually enter to go to the dinner show and then over here We have PJ Southern takeout and then trails end of course where we're gonna be dining a little bit later trails end is completely different. It's no longer a buffet and I'm excited to see what they changed and how it's gonna be done Luckily, I have a friend joining me for dinner another ranch hand on the scene to help you out Yeah, I got a cow puncher badge, too. If you need it see I do need it. Oh you do See you didn't come prepared. You don't got your cow puncher badge. I need it. We're gonna get one here. No, no I don't think so This is where we check in but I don't think it's open yet because no one's here checking in one in So right next door is Crocket's Tavern and they specialize in moonshine drinks And I see two rocking chairs Unoccupied right there. So a little moonshine a little rocking chair. That's the way. Oh But look at this. Howdy folks Crocket's Tavern is open today 4 p.m. To 10 p.m So it looks like we're a little bit too early, but take a look at the cocktails Like I said, they they really specialize in moonshine Davies moonshine lemonade black lightning a gullywamper So I think maybe we'll have to come back either before we head in for dinner or Afterwards because I got to get myself a moonshine. I Guess since Crocket's isn't open yet We'll just have to come out after we have dinner and plus I wanted to explore around the fort a little bit after dinner because I Hear that they actually started up the fireplace or the the campfire But with certain limitations and I would like to check that out Here is a look at the menu. We're gonna be here for dinner and it's 2999 a person it's all you care to enjoy and you get a nice smokehouse skillet style and it comes with the brisket The chicken the sausage the potatoes the green beans all the fixings and I here tell that we can actually get the fried chicken that You know trails and and who to do is known for instead of the rotisserie chicken We just have to ask for it So we're gonna find out and you can also add on enhancements like ribs shrimp and cornbread salmon So we're definitely gonna enjoy lots of this first tables back here. We are Thank you, welcome back I know nice Now that we're at our table It's really fun and all the cast members are happy that we're back in action And we dig a confirmation that you can get the fried chicken instead of the rotisserie chicken So that is amazing because the fried chicken here is so good and they sell it at PJ's But you can actually get it with your skillet mental butter, which is quite excellent mental butter Nice got a little Arnold Palmer and some bread Look at this bread basket. They said they got the pimento cheese there and a honey butter But you got cornbread and then kind of like a hush hush puppy a hush puppy. That's what it looks like Yeah, this looks so good and I like how we get everything in mason jars I'm gonna dive in to the bread and I'm gonna start with the hush puppy I think that's what it is. I mean it is definitely a fried bread I don't know we're gonna find out bite in I'm going all in It's like a fried hush puppy, but with jalapeno like cornbread So delicious. I'm really really liking these and this is something that you can get full-on quick So you gotta take your time when you're eating here Looks like the food is here too. Holy moly. I don't chicken, right? Yes Thank you All right, we have a pecan smoked brisket. We have andouille sausage. It's an italian sausage a little spicy corn and a carb This is fingerling potatoes oven roasted chicken green beans. This is chipotle The barbecue sauce and a Carolina honey mustard. Thank you. Enjoy your meal. I really love the bread game here in between the hush puppies and Cornbread itself and the biscuits really really good. I like the honey butter and I haven't tried the pimento brother I don't think that's something. I'm really gonna dive into but maybe Jackie will And here it is the main course look at this. We got the sausage We got the pecan brisket the corn on the cob We got the rotisserie chicken the green beans the fingerling potatoes on this side and then also They gave us both chickens so they gave us some of the rotisserie chicken and that amazing fried chicken and this is so cool I mean I am pumped about this We're also gonna get the rib addition and the shrimp addition. These are not all you can eat You just get one portion. So I think we're getting the half rack of ribs, and I think it's 999 and the shrimp is 899 So we're gonna have a lot of food to dive into First things first I think we're gonna hop into the chicken hair and this is all you care to enjoy like I said So you can get as many pieces as you like. I'm gonna take this and save that for Jackie. She likes the little drumsticks, don't you? You do don't you? Alright, I'm going all in on the thigh hair. I'm excited No, a lot of people don't eat thighs with their hands that just eat drumsticks But I think I could do it both ways so I Don't know what it is about the chicken hair the skin has such a taste Maybe it might be the oil they fry it in but it's so airy. Look at that. It's so airy and crispy and it has so much flavor I love it. I don't think it's really good to eat thighs with your hands So I switched to a fork which is still very delicious. I love the chicken like I said It's got to be something with the way that they cook it. I don't know if you have so much about chicken You let me know this is good Now I'm gonna start making a little plate here and I'll pull out a sausage But then of course the brisket. I might save the brisket for last because I have a feeling Probably what I'm gonna love the most. Look at that. Oh, and then a little bit of green beans a little corn on the copy And then of course the potatoes They need those potatoes Perfect. And then it looks like we got like one order of a chicken. We get a little wingy though I'm wondering how this sausage is gonna compare to Ohana's new sausage I think this is andouille and Ohana's more of a cabasi, but we'll find out when we bite into it here Much more smoke Little bit of spice actually a lot of spice to it. So if you don't like spicy sausages, that's probably not the way to go It is definitely a spicy sausage. Look at that. You can see it in there. So good. And this is my plate There's a little brisket with the pecan rub on it my chicken and we still had the ribs and shrimp coming Those are the add-ons and I'll show you it all and I'll let you know what my favorite is But I think I already know hint hint Now I'm gonna dive into the potatoes little fingerling potatoes don't mind if I do Oh, yeah, those are good potatoes Might as well a little green beans while I'm here, you know The potatoes were good and the green beans are good, but look at what has arrived We've got ribs and Shrimp and that is a lot of shrimp. Look at that. So if you're missing this shrimp over at Ohana Look you can come over here and you can peel and eat all you want I think I sense a little old bay in there. Maybe Maybe a little old bay. I don't know Because I plan on saving the brisket for last I'm gonna hop right into the ribs here and I broke it apart now It is like a half of like slab of ribs, but it's still a very big portion. Oh, yeah, look at that Oh boy a little bit messy though Be prepared. All right We're diving in right here That is so good. Oh man Nice and smoky The the meat is literally like stuck on the rib, but like falling off easily Not overcooked very good ribs. Oh, yeah Everything I've eaten so far has been phenomenal the chicken the potatoes the green beans the ribs now I'm gonna peel and eat some shrimp here. I am I'm so excited like this is such a meal and Technically, like I said, it's $29.99, which is probably the cheapest family style. That's the same price as Sebastian's But we did get the add-ons. So with the add-ons Kind of like averages out to $35 a person and look at all the food you get and we can keep on asking for more That's the crazy part of it all I was told by a couple of the coordinators at Ohana That a reason that they didn't bring the shrimp back and they brought it back as a casserole Is because a lot of people complained that they had to peel their own shrimp I don't know if that's 100 true, but I do like peeling my own shrimp. I don't mind it. You know, you just kind of Knock it off there and you know flip the tail Get the extra meat from inside the tail and bottoming Butterball Now it is time We're going all in on the brisket here. Look at that. I love brisket I mean it is just so delicious and this one here Oh, you can't you can't do better I have been waiting for this right here That's it right there Can't do much better than that. I love it Now to be fair, I think I need to try the rotisserie chicken. Well, it's a smoked chicken too And uh, the fried chicken was so good and it might be very delicious So we need to try it. We have to you know, put a good staple on it We have to find out it definitely has a smoky taste to it. That's good. It's not like a rotisserie chicken I would definitely say it's different than all the other chicken Like family style meals like selections. This has got its own unique spice and I don't know. It's actually not that bad I wouldn't prefer I wouldn't mind actually getting either that or the fried chicken Of course, we ended up getting some more of that brisket and I love it. So thank you Honestly though now I think I'm just so full I think we're ready for the dessert and I'm sorry to say it's not going to be a strawberry shortcake Even though I really really do miss the strawberry shortcake. It is going to be something pretty fancy Before we get to dessert though, I decided on a little coffee Now soft drinks and coffee are included in the price of 29.99 which is absolutely amazing So I always tend to get a coffee before dessert because it's just a good way to settle and it's already included And look at how they bring out the creamer and a little Pitcher or a bucket. I like it a little half and half Little joffreys to keep our day going a little bit here Oh, that's hot Here it is the dessert and take a look at that. It's got everything in there It's got cowboy cookies marshmallows brownies Chocolate covered bacon and then at the brim or the bottom of the cowboy hat There it is. That's the strawberry shortcake. Oh in a banana. I mean that is that's a lot I guess we just we just get in there. Oh go ahead. Yeah Just get in there and there's the shortcake at the bottom. She said right Oh my golly big bowl of goodness her Let me get you a horseshoe. Oh, thank you. Have a horseshoe cookie. Thank you. Yeah I'm gonna take a little banana a little ice cream. Uh, definitely. I want some banana in there. Where's the ice cream? How am I getting it? Yeah, you're getting ice cream. Let's see what's going on in here This is a little chocolate covered bacon. Oh And a little bit of brownie Oh, yeah I got a little bit of everything on the spoon We've got bacon brownie banana cookie ice cream all of it the works the show stopper This is really really delicious, but it's hard to actually kind of like make plates out of I wish there was a big old cowboy hat You know a big old cowboy hat that we can just kind of like share But honestly, it's it's it's the the brim of the hat is kind of like the biggest part of it Yeah, it is Now I am officially full and it was so delicious and such a value $30 around 30 30 $33 a person you can't beat that I think it's literally the cheapest family style out there even cheaper than whispering canning cafe, I believe And it's well worth it. Like you you definitely get full So I think we're gonna go walk around the resort a little bit and just kind of take in this beautiful nature It's so amazing here I really love just hearing the music here. Isn't that so nice? Now that we're all done with dinner, I think we're going to go walk around the resort a little bit It's just really cool to explore Explore explore Oh the the symphony of cicadas We're gonna actually leave pioneer hall and head on over to some of the other Areas in the resort. They have different Recreation that they offer like they have a couple pools basketball courts and even a campfire Site, that's really good and they used to do sing-alongs or chip and dale and I don't know We're just gonna explore a little bit One of these days hopefully very soon I want to come here and I want to stay and I want to bring Gracie because it's gonna be amazing They have their own dog park here You can literally have your pets with you and actually have an area a fenced in area where they could play You can hear some of the doggies Look at that, isn't that amazing They have dog parks all the way around little gym for them and then tons of areas over here This kid's trying to get eaten. I know I think this is so awesome Wagon trails dog park and you got to see the sign over here It's Pluto because you know Pluto is the most famous Disney dog Look at that Oh, I would love it. I would so much love to come here with Gracie I don't want to bring her here unless I'm staying here. I don't think I can number one But she would have so much fun. I bet Looks like we've got tether ball here might as well Tether you want to tether a ball with me? Let's tether the ball A little tether ball and a surprise visit from a nice little doggie dude. Did you see that little baby? It was awesome He came running over and uh, he was friends are Gracie Now we have made it over to the meadow and this is where the uh chip and dale singalong is And then they have a couple of other things over here. It's so nice though It is so pretty here right now It's not close to a sunset, but it's kind of getting there and you can just see the reflection in the trees. It's just So peaceful. I'm really really enjoying everything right now They've got a nice little mining station here And then some fishing spots and then all the way over here I see a wide open field and i'm guessing that's going to be where the campfire singalong is where where it used to be Oh, here we are. Yes, let's go make some s'mores Oh Hand clamping foot stomping singalongs cartoons and moving pictures This is gonna be so much fun to hang out here for a little bit I see the fire is going and I think we're gonna grab some marshmallows and roast a little marshmallows And here we go only six dollars and look at the size of the bag of marshmallows I give you and they give you two sticks too.
