    Princess and the Bear: nerds giving honest vegan vs non-vegan food reviews. We mostly go to Walt Disney World, with the occasional trip to Universal Studios Florida, but we travel to other plant based locations as well. If you're looking for vegan Disney World or Universal Studios Orlando food and you want to know what a vegan or non-vegan think of it, look no further! We'll tell you where it rates based on the claw scale. Sometimes we'll even share park recipes or TV/Film reviews within the Disney family.

    Pretty ridiculous pricing in general but Disney also really needs to stop inserting plant-based dishes in these prix fixe menus. Plant-based options are always gonna be (way) cheaper à la carte so it seems really unfair for us vegans, esp in prix fixe menus where we only have one option per course and can get stuck with something we genuinely don't even like like the Princess... Looks like I'll be going to Steakhouse 71 instead for now. Thanks for the very insightful review, guys!

    Such informative, honest reviews! Thank you! I do love your themed ears and outfits! Such a shame that Cali grill thinks this is “worth it”. Seems like they really weren’t very creative. I mean honestly there are so many creative flavorful meal/recipe plans out there I can’t believe there aren’t more using their google skills! (Clean food dirty girl is one I’m in awe of!)

    $89 for an apple squash salad, mushroom ravioli, and 2 donuts, Ouchhh..that's pretty shocking even for Disney deluxe resort..I feel your pain here guys.. would rather go Citricos, 'Ohana or anywhere else for that money lol..Love that shirt Bear:)) thanks for the heads up!!

    It's a crazy price for the vegan option. If you got the PB sushi, the unplugged then Donuts before it was about $70 and far more food. I'm hoping they bring back the a la carte by next year

    • @PrincessandtheBear
      @PrincessandtheBear  2 года назад +3

      Crazy to think we're paying more for less food but that seems to be the new trend these days. Would be nice to go back to a la carte or have the unplugged menu back. The unplugged menu was the best.

      We have been trying to solve for the noise issue and been testing out a few mics. It's a little harder for us since we can't do much about the volume in the restaurant but we'll get there eventually.

    I just realized when you pointed out the honey nut squash on the ravioli that they also had honey nut squash in the apple salad. So they're gonna put the same veg in both the only vegan app and entree? That's just lazy.

    CA Grill has been overrated for at least the past 10 years, n that was before my pre Vegan years. The pre fixe is the “upscale” skillet and a fail here for the $90 price tag. A + for CA not using fake meat but unless you love mushrooms… 🤨
    Btw, Kudos Bear for trying to eat healthier.❤️

    Thanks for the review. It's as I expected and not worth it for the set menu. For the record, is this really the only thing being offered at California Grill right now? You can't sit down at the bar and order drinks and appetizers?

    • @PrincessandtheBear

      We have not sat at the lounge since the anniversary menu rolled out so not sure if you can order anything else. As far as we know, you can only get this meal currently.

      @@PrincessandtheBear Thanks. That's what I figured. I don't even see another menu besides the dinner menu for CG. We always start our monorail crawl at CG because we use the receipt to get back upstairs for the fireworks later. Wonder if that's still allowed? Test drive it if you get a chance. Thanks again.
